@line6movies Hahaha I guess if u say so. But a slight mention of its limits would never be mentioned on a video made for promotion of a product. Don't worry I still bought it :) .......I would have done the same thing if I was selling it.
@kyle8086999 Hi, below you'll see this comment, but I'll paste here from Sean Halley.
"...the decision to hide the "out of dsp" message was made on the spot due to time constraints, meaning that I didn't have screen time to explain what was going on. It wasn't meant to be manipulative - the manual is very clear that using two amps at once eats up a bunch of DSP.
We lit and shot the whole thing in around two hours, so we were just trying to get everything in that we needed. :-)"
@line6movies If I were to buy the HD Pro and I wanted to use it for live shows with a pedal operated switching system, would I have to get the line 6 FBV line of foot boards or could I get a midi foot controller and achieve the same?
@PerfectParasite The POD will respond to certain MIDI commands from a 3rd party MIDI pedal but it's limited in that it will only respond to program and bank changes and not CC's. With the FBV you can control just everything.
Put a real tube pre in that sucker!!!! with variable Mu and a real tube comp!!!! THAT would make it better than the vetta 1 head that im using to record with... cause right now this is almost exactly the same thing except i use a real channel stip to fatten up the crappy 'digitalness'. Oh- and headphone volume control with more I/Os- THAT would replace my mbox.
@Guitargawd13 You can go straight to the front of house mixer to the PA system if you'd like to. For bedroom playing you can just use the POD and monitor through the headphone jacks with headphones or powered studio monitors. This is still just a preamp though so you can't connect it directly to just a guitar cabinet. You need some sort of amplifier to drive the speaker cabs.
Arrrrrrgh! When oh when will you update that blocky low-res display? 700 bucks should buy something with more resolution! Suggestion: Hire a UI designer and a SW dev to code a decent UI using a pretty widget set and use a hi-res display (android anyone??) ! C'mon, nice displays are pretty inexpensive now!
@wolfman109h No but you can manually change the file extension on the tone to make them work. I think it's on the plan to implement this as an automatic feature sometime in the future.
@MetalisMental All of our PODs require that they be plugged into a power amp before sending the signal into a speaker. The PODs do not have a built-in power amp section to drive speakers.
@k12modernwarfare You can turn off amp modeling on the POD but it's not true bypass so your signal will still travel through the AD/DA converters in the POD. You can just use the FX at that point if you wish.
Silent Underground Studio is embarking on an extensive collection of "example" video demo's for the HD Pro covering a broad range of styles "within" a mix.
At the moment we're aiming to put out 2 a week.
We would really like our fellow YouTubers to help us out by Subscribing and Liking the vids as they come up and sharing as much as possible!!
3 questions. What variax model are you using in this video?? Can I use the pod hdpro as a guitar and a vocal preamp at the same time? And can you hook me up with all the settings for your dual tone you put together I love it;!!!!! and can't quite replicate it..
@switzerhenry Sean is using a US model JTV69. You can use the POD HD Pro as a vocal preamp and for guitar at the same time. I'll see if Sean put his patches up for download.
hey, when you pick an amp does it automatically go to distortion setting on the amp? like if i pick the engl amp, am i getting the clean signal and i put distortion pedals or am i using the engl's distortion?
@ACDCwarmachine It's all up to how you have the amp dialed in. You pick the the Engl model and back way off on the gain and save the patch that way if you'd like. That should clean it up. That would free you up to put distortion pedals in front of the amp in your patch.
I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing the Axe Fx being brought up every time this is mentioned, but this unit looks like Line 6's direct response to the Axe Fx. Sound-wise, does it compete?
Can you make a video that shows the vocal power of this thing? I want to hear the effects you can have with the vox. I'm more so looking for gender/pitch shifting to get a nice deep, creepy tone. Can this thing do that?
F.Y.I. the MIDI continuous control is non-existant. the only thing you can do with MIDI and the HD Pro is change programs and set global MIDI tempo. A far cry from what you could do with every Pod previously. I hope they will implement complete MIDI CC in an update. I used "real" MIDI to control my X3 Pro in my live setup. Sold the X3 Pro to get the Pod HD Pro. I am very disappointed. Now I have to buy another X3 Pro. Good thing I could return the HD Pro. I will admit, it does sound really good.
The website says that the foot pedals aren't compatible with this, can you confirm or deny this because you're using an FBV and it's confusing me haha
@insatanwetrustslave Could you let me know where on the website it says that it doesn't work with FBV? I'd like to get that fixed. We do have a page on their called "Add-ons" that calls out the FBV, so just want to make sure that we catch this. Feel free to send a private message with a URL. Thanks.
@bobgilles1 for live use you may have to rig something up but the input in the front comes in handy for those that are going to keep the POD wired into their studio recording racks. I would definitely suggest you submit your feedback to our developers though. Go to our website and look for the Contact Us link at the bottom of the home page. hen click on Product Feedback.
@ACDCwarmachine there are no bass models in the HD PODs at this point but you can still plug a bass into it if you'd like; especially for FX and what not.
@line6movies Isn`t i strange to not let the Pod HD Pro be controled by a Midi pedalboard as I`m running a RJM RG-16 with 5 pedals + BOB8 to control function switches for my two amp heads + a rack tube preamp. I`m suppose to use the HD Pro as my tremolo, Chorus, Delay and Reverb, but it`s not possible as it does not support communication via MIDI......I own the Liquid Foot Controler Pro and I`m convinced that Line6 would have been able to kill the Axe-fx marked it is able to be controled by MIDI!
@FolkessonMKV it will respond to program changes and bank changes but not MIDI CC's. Please feel free to leave your feedback for our developers requesting this under the Contact Us section at the bottom of our homepage. Thanks!
I've asked this before on the X3 vid but did not get a response. I'm in the market for a new amp and I really need something to replace it. I've been looking at pods because I like how you can record with it and get a much better quality tone with it. But I have a question, does the HD Pro plug and HD 500 plug straight into the computer like the X3 does? also, can the HD Pro completely replace my amp instead of adding on to it? because my amp is awful and I need a replacement
@walshy0001 - The pods are not amplifiers but are modeling pre-amps. If you were to use this device live, you would need a power amp and speaker cabinet or a combo. If your club takes the output from this device as a line-in to the board, you'll be okay. Personally, I'd like to move to the Pod HD Pro with a DT25... hopefully, my budget will allow it.
Love it and have it My only suggestion is to have delay spillover. The Pro will prob be used for the live musician I would think and with all the crazy sounds it should have this option. going from one preset to another theres no trail off . The M5 and M13 have it so I thought this would too. Fun unit though
@mick3b1g I know that if you turn a delay or reverb off within a single patch, it will keep the spillover. For preset switching, I'm not sure there's a way to do it (yet). I'm gonna be using my with my X3 Pro, so I'm wondering if there's a creative solution to this problem! Perhaps relegating the X3 Pro to an outboard reverb and delay unit. We'll see when my HD Pro arrives \m/
@CFSmith, the decision to hide the "out of dsp" message was made on the spot due to time constraints, meaning that I didn't have screen time to explain what was going on. It wasn't meant to be manipulative - the manual is very clear that using two amps at once eats up a bunch of DSP.
We lit and shot the whole thing in around two hours, so we were just trying to get everything in that we needed. :-)
Yes, you can use the AES or SPDIF connectors for clocking.
I'm a studio and a live guitarist looking for new effects and for me it's basically a straight shoot-out between the HD500 and the HD Pro, and to be honest, if you factor in MKII shortboard the HDPro just looks a heck of a lot more expensive (almost twice the price of the HD500) and doesn't really seem to give any real benefits.
1) Why hide the DSP limit message? It's makes the video manipulative and not a true reflection of the product. Rather than tricks like this, it would have been better to add more DSP.
2) Where's the word clock connector? Does another connector double up as one?
i feel like you guys would make more money and increase popularity more from updating the m5/9/13 models rather than something like this...nonetheless sounds dope.
what more does this actually do than the HD500 (other than sit on the desk) considering the price difference, i'm in the market for a Pod HD of some kind.
@beewoy it offers more flexible input and output options and provides the rack mount form factor for people who'd prefer that over having the POD on the floor.
@bullshitproof well, you will need a power amp. i will buy one for jazz band, and im using a powered PA mixer which goes to 2 speakers. the pa mixer is powered like i said so it will work. if you want to connect it to anything you need a power amp. a rack power amp, an amp head, or a pa thats powered like i said. at home you could use studio speakers that are powered.
@bullshitproof you can import presets from our Custom Tone website but not effects. The POD comes with 100+ effects right out of the box. You'd want to connect your guitar to the input of the POD and then connect the output of the POD to the front of your amp or directly into the power amp section of your amp if it has an FX Loop.
@line6movies I would like to thank and congratulate you. Your answers were very satisfying and indeed you did get me to buy an x3 live. ur a good salesman.
So is there any form of stand alone program? Like you can ONLY tweak the settings using the small front display? A stand-alone program interface would make this an instant buy for me.
@fluff191 you can download the FREE POD HD edit program from our website and use that to dial in your tones instead of the LCD display on the POD itself.
Line 6, why not allow users to split the "true stereo loop" so you have 2 loops?! Problably an easy thing to program (just the same module, but with a 100% pan each way hardcoded), that would give even more flexibility with extra gear!
Also .. split the amp and cab models already ;) The current setup means you cannot use it next to another preamp (which "Pro" users might like to do, I do!)
@SparkPlugnl thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I can't explain why our product guys do or don't do certain things but you should visit our website and drop your feedback there under the Contact Us link at the bottom of the homepage.
I really don't like that they cut out functionality from Pod X3 pro... Bass amps, mic preamps etc... You could have pretty much one unit in your home studio for all instruments and vocals. Now with HD it's not an option :/
@krismaciejewski not to mention cutting out a bunch of useful and great sounding models to make room for these fkn pawnshop pieces of shit tiny combos...i see a DLC pack int he future, another way for L6 to suck you dry....
@krismaciejewski & @chepe371 Thanks for the comments, Product Development welcomes this feedback. you can post it at line6 (dot) com /pdfeedback. I hope you will take the time to let us know your thoughts there. Thanks.
@zedchuva THE modeling unit to have is Axe FX II... And that wouldn't change even if HD would have twice better DSP... And i'm talking as a POD owner and Line6 user for 10 years...
- allowing to split the loop (use it as 2 seperate loops)
- allowing to use only the cabs, no amp (with an expernal preamp in a loop)
- allowing to load custom IR's (replacing stock ones if necessary due to memory size)
These are small things .. such a shame they were overlooked. The last few things can be done with firmware tweaks, but the DSP is a hardware problem ...
Brilliant indeed. I'm sure the 'Gottahaves' will race to get this. Me, I already feel spoiled with my HD300 and my UX8. That's another good thing about Line 6. They're always coming out with new stuff but their 'old' stuff stays useful for years!...Except the original Spider Valve 212. It's front end was kinda crap. But now I plug HD300 into the power amp of my Spider Valve and Boom! Everything old is new and awesome again!
Finally!

@bullshitproof well, you will need a power amp. i will buy one for jazz band, and im using a powered PA mixer which goes to 2 speakers. the pa mixer is powered like i said so it will work. if you want to connect it to anything you need a power amp. a rack power amp, an amp head, or a pa thats powered like i said. at home you could use studio speakers that are powered.

@bullshitproof you can import presets from our Custom Tone website but not effects. The POD comes with 100+ effects right out of the box. You'd want to connect your guitar to the input of the POD and then connect the output of the POD to the front of your amp or directly into the power amp section of your amp if it has an FX Loop.

The editor is called POD HD Pro edit, and it's free, by the way. Full graphic control of the unit...

So is there any form of stand alone program? Like you can ONLY tweak the settings using the small front display? A stand-alone program interface would make this an instant buy for me.

@fluff191 you can download the FREE POD HD edit program from our website and use that to dial in your tones instead of the LCD display on the POD itself.

Line 6, why not allow users to split the "true stereo loop" so you have 2 loops?! Problably an easy thing to program (just the same module, but with a 100% pan each way hardcoded), that would give even more flexibility with extra gear!
Also .. split the amp and cab models already ;) The current setup means you cannot use it next to another preamp (which "Pro" users might like to do, I do!)

I really don't like that they cut out functionality from Pod X3 pro... Bass amps, mic preamps etc... You could have pretty much one unit in your home studio for all instruments and vocals. Now with HD it's not an option :/

@krismaciejewski not to mention cutting out a bunch of useful and great sounding models to make room for these fkn pawnshop pieces of shit tiny combos...i see a DLC pack int he future, another way for L6 to suck you dry....

Nice cutaway while switching through the delay models so nobody saw the "DSP Limit Reached" screen. LOL!
Better DSP and this unit, along with the HD500 would be THE modeling unit to have.

@zedchuva lol DSP limit Reached", sad but true,
llemotivell 5 months ago
@zedchuva THE modeling unit to have is Axe FX II... And that wouldn't change even if HD would have twice better DSP... And i'm talking as a POD owner and Line6 user for 10 years...

@zedchuva
Better DSP and a few software tweaks ;)
- allowing to split the loop (use it as 2 seperate loops)
- allowing to use only the cabs, no amp (with an expernal preamp in a loop)
- allowing to load custom IR's (replacing stock ones if necessary due to memory size)
These are small things .. such a shame they were overlooked. The last few things can be done with firmware tweaks, but the DSP is a hardware problem ...

How awesome this is great guys! Been loving my HD-500 so perfect for live and studio.
hoostavah 6 months ago
Brilliant indeed. I'm sure the 'Gottahaves' will race to get this. Me, I already feel spoiled with my HD300 and my UX8. That's another good thing about Line 6. They're always coming out with new stuff but their 'old' stuff stays useful for years!...Except the original Spider Valve 212. It's front end was kinda crap. But now I plug HD300 into the power amp of my Spider Valve and Boom! Everything old is new and awesome again!

What is the biggest difference between the Pod Hd desktop and the HD pro?
dropless2002 6 months ago
@dropless2002 mainly the rack mount form factor and more I/O options on the Pro as compared to the Desktop.
