ebbsoul Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My unit came with no manual[store demo model] but I presumed I could do the same editing I had on the pod plus and then some. Upon downloading manual, after purchase due to the situation, it indicates only the hd400 does this. Kind of a deal breaker, as HD seems to acentuate real life noise of 'actual name brand' FX. The presets are a bit extreme for adults taste IMO... Gate and compression gave me the best editing tweaks on the Pod plus for less dough. What gives?

toneman2121 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 i don't understand. are you saying the 300 has no compression pedals and no noise gate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think he is referring to the limitation of FX1.... meaning you can't use more than one of them at a time.... and it's exactly the same on the HD400... you have to go desktop/500/pro to get around that. it's setup intentionally this way to automatically manage the needed DSP. i don't understand. are you saying the 300 has no compression pedals and no noise gate?

ebbsoul Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I just don't seem to find a 'gating ' menu, on this HD300, HD300/400 manual sez 'in this chapter we'll dicuss editing HD400 , and 'gating' is only refferenced to that model[HD400]> needs me some gating/compression. Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 i assumed he had the 300, and the manual claimed something was different on the 400... don't have a 400, but my understanding it that the software is mostly the same between the 2, just some I/O and form factor differences. then why the reference to the 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The HD300 and 400 both have a selection of compressors and a noise gate. The compressors are bundled into the FX1 group; one at a time is selectable. The noise gate is not bundled into an FX group; it is separately assignable in all presets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbsoul Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Uber-"seperately assignable in all presets" hummm...lemme go back and look again. Manual very misleading there. It refferences this capability to HD400 only under chapter 4. [i think the manual is exceptionally easy to understand otherwize-no 'lawyerspeak, persay] So it's there as it should be I just haven't found it yet-must be deep within preset parameters or represented by a weird acronym or something.. I'd think It'd be about the first parameter you'd encouter..kinda miss the 'on deck' gate and compression knods of the Pod +. [and hey, my eyes ain't so good anymore, need to look into online editing] Thanks for the imput guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbsoul Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Found it! [under up down cursers three or four steps in] should make an adeqate fx sublime. Thanx all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 <p>Yeah - the noise gate is kind of hidden in the Edit section of the HD device. However, it is much more accessible using the computer-based editor (HD300 Edit). It's in the bottom section of every preset window, along with Reverb, Vol, and Wah.

ebbsoul Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, and some of the HDs' realizm isn't exactly always a +. Like including the original hum,noise, and crudeness of whatever it's repilcating.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 i disagree (and you can disagree and adjust the DEPs if you like) but i find that the hum warms up the sound and makes it sound more real and less digital... removing it sounds computer generated and bland.

ebbsoul Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 You're right, Uber, but in that the L6HD as it comes is 'overdone' to my ears in this reguard, and ergo why my original inquiry. I like it, just not so much of it as set from the factory. In other words yes it makes it less digital sounding, but it's also part of the equasion a producer would use compression for, setting limits of 'less than' of the normal models replicated in question. A cleaner recording. it's all due to the HD being so realistic in the first place, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
