pianoguyy Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Have you read the owners' manual(s)? There are 4 (or more) of them. They are all available for download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you are using the POD stand alone without a DT amp, don't use the "Pre" models. FYI, I've never used my POD in 4 cable method (4CM) so not sure how that might work as I have a DT25.

From the Advanced Manual of the POD HD500x: Amp and Preamp Models We’ve included a complete set of “Preamp” versions of each Amp as well. Choose one of these to obtain the tone of just the preamp stage of the amp - recommended when feeding your POD HD500X output into an external amplifier, or when using the L6 LINKTM connection.* On 10/9/2022 at 10:59 PM, pianoguyy said: WHAT! See above for the explanation why or why not to use "PRE". On 10/9/2022 at 10:59 PM, pianoguyy said: ???? If you use the 4CM then you might want to use the "PRE" to use the modelled preamp of a specific amp to then go through the power amp section of the amp you are connecting the POD to.

My post still is correct that you would use the Preamp Models with a DT amp, hence ".......or when using the L6 LINK™ connection.*" Jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
