mutantseamonkey Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just a heads up for everybody. While I appreciate that there are thousands of patches available for download, quite frankly, most of them suck. They rarely sound anything like the original artist. I stumbled upon some fantastic patches (although they are not free). There is a guy on eBay (1sleestak2many) that is selling HD500 patches that he states are handmade. Most of the patches sold on eBay are strictly copies from the Line 6 site, but this guy apparently has done quite a bit of research and built some nice ones. He's selling about 120 patches for $25, but they are some of the most popular artists and there are numerous genres covered. He told me via email that he builds them using a solid state Fender amp set as neutral as possible and often gigs straight from his HD500 into a mixing board. Most of them are spot on in my opinion, and I use many of them for my own original songs. Just thought I'd throw a bone to my fellow guitarists that are seeking good tone. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuvel Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I wonder if his tones are as transparent as this post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 a bone would have been an attached bundle. as it is you just baited the hook. :D Just a heads up for everybody.
