SpaceTurkeyLives Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Just got my pod hd500x and I realised that when I play open on the low B of my bass (through any amp mod) the pod plays a note slightly lower than what it's meant to then after a few moments slides up to the right note. I played my bass just through a few EQ's on the pod and they picked it up fine. Also the tuner doesn't pick up the open B string so I have to tune on the octave. Any help would be appreciated.

gunpointmetal Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 you should make a recording of this happening, I've played bass (tuned down to a whole octave below standard bass tuning) through my HD500 and have never experienced this. The tuner definitely does not like anything below standard four-string bass E, I have noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Any Amp model with no other FX, is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceTurkeyLives Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 On closer inspection... The fliptop preamps work fine, it's noticeable on the other amp mods I've tried (the distortion of the tube amps really brings it out) and when I use a distortion pedal mod into the fliptop it also happens. So it seems to be the distortions that don't like the 5 string. I plugged my darkglass into the pod, through the fliptop and it's perfect.
