This thing is shit. I owned it for 3 weeks. Out of the box sounds are garbage. And to tweak anything is a week long process. Try tweaking a preset, It doesnt even tell you what the settings are that you are tweaking. Doesnt show you the levels of treble, bass, mids, etc. This company doesnt know anything about guitar. Im buying a Boss!
@Octavio12341000 It's an effect. With a looper, you press record, while at the same time starting to play something, then press the play button and the device loops(repeats) what you play starting immediately, letting you play things on top of each other.
I am planning on buying this effects processor, and I had few queries of my own.
I play metal guitar, as I have a Schecter Damien with EMG pickups, and I was wondering whether this effects processor is good enough for metal distortion and metal playing? And also if it has a manual wah wah effect which i can control through the expresion pedal or not?
it sounds brilliant for clean and blues.. not sure about the meatier driven sounds though.. will have to try one vs a new zoom G5.. and decide which to buy...i want clean, blues and meaty rock.. if i can achive a good tone for each category then i'm happy... nice video btw
Nice video, kinda wish the audio was direct though, not through an amp so I could hear what it sounds like through headphones. Hälsningar från Skåne! :-D
Great review, I'm thinking about getting the hd 400, which is a little more flexible but pretty much the same. Can I ask you something though? I've read you can have up to 4 effects at a time, if I have reverb and noise gate on, does that leave me with only two more effects that I can use? or those don't count as effects? Thanks ;)
Is there any way like u an bypass certain FX ?? lol cuz I have a nice amp that has beautiful distortion and I really just want the pedal for the FX so I don't have to press a million different separate pedals at the same time to put em all on at a certain time lol
@TheBakor Press at the top of the pedal to engange the toe switch - you may have press very hard! My HD500 toeswitch was difficult to engage at first - I had to put a lot of weight on it before it started working.
@rotren that doesnt make sense, if i can connect headphones and play only through the pod hd why cant i instead of headphones connect to speakers (cab)?
I own a gt-10. my problem with it is the noise when connecting it to my amp (all cable methods), also it is very noisy with distorted sounds. how is that with the pod hd300?
Very good review, but it would be better for me if it's recorded directly into a computer because it's the only way, in my opinion, that procesors should be used, and into PA of course for live gig. Anyway, thumbs up!
@rotren Awesome, thanks! The Box-Simulation always pissed me quite off with Line 6 Products - or for that matter, every Modeller there is except the AxeFx. It just sounds soooo much better when played directly in the Poweramp in an Amp and a real cab!
@henrikhansson1 Ahh, sorry about that. I ran the mic into my video camera (first time I've tried this) and I must have had the signal a bit too hot. Dang. I hope the video is useful anyway, in spite of this.
excellent demo! thanks bro!
