Railoe Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi I would like to know opinions what would be a good amplifier for Pod HD500 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucleusX Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 In general, there's no amp best suited to the POD HD500, as your ears and personal tastes are the final determining factor. But, because these POD HD units are designed with modelled amps at its core, the FRFR standard would be the most logical and flexible to use with the POD HD's, as these speaker setups are designed to be neutral in tone, and not colour your amp-sims like traditional amps and cabinets do, thus allowing you to experience the amp-sim as it was intended to be heard. My advice, look into FRFR standard and active/passive full-range speakers, chances are, you'll end up looking at amps and cabinets that are already provided in the POD HD as a simulated algorithm.

GazzaBloom Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 DT25....merges with the PODHD500 via L6 Link (1 cable) into a very flexible tone and effects machine with real tube output and 'feel' to boot. I do find that the DT25 has it's own character and find it has a nice warm mid presence, which I like. There are a few settings to be made to get the PODHD singing properly through the DT and I'm still undecided about the role of the speaker cabs when using the DT25, leave them on/turn them off...?? I think it depends on the pre-amp model in question but only serves to offer more tonal choice. The Line L2T FRFR speaker sounds very good on Youtube clips I've heard, it has a 'guitar' mode and again will connect via L6 Link. If I didn't already have the DT25 I would very seriously consider the L2T as my 'amp' but it would always need the PODHD connected whereas the DT25 can operate standalone and I'm not sure how the L2T would respond to additional pedals in the chain such as overdrives etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think it somewhat depends on what you want it to sound like. I use a powered PA speaker because I wanted full range for playing Acoustic models with my JTV. If you are mostly going to play regular electric guitar, you may want a guitar amp like the DT25.
