What's up, guys? In this video I'm showing the settings that give me the best results when I run my Line 6 POD 500x into real amps. At first, this seemingly simple task, was trickier than I had expected. But, I feel that I've figured out a good setup for getting great tone when running a 500x into an amp. Let's check it out!

My name's Jon Eleyet and I like making videos about guitars! Sometimes the videos are about a goofy guitar that I made out of Fruity Pebbles, other times it's a tutorial about guitar tone. In either case, my goal is to make your life better by giving you a laugh or unlocking a new skill.

Parting with my 500x has been a major regret of mine. It's one of the best pieces of equipment I've owned. If you use your ear this is your board. You can get any tone and sound out of it. I'm actually looking at driving several hours just to get another one this week lol You got good chops man and a good ear. I think that's why you like the 500x ;)

@riffmansix1156 2 года назад

I have the Pod HD500 and I use the 4 cable method running it into my Mesa Roadster half stack and it rips,the sound is thicker and more full. I always enjoy watching videos on the Pod because you might learn something you didn't know about. Thank you for sharing and rock on 🤘

@Thesamtvv 4 месяца назад

Do you also set to studio to combo rack(amp mode) on setting? Do you also use the pre amp model from the pod or use your amp setting?

@chiefobeef 5 лет назад

Hey, just wanted to say a big thanks for these videos about the HD500x you've made. They've been a huge HUGE help. Anyhow, one thing you didn't mention in this video is how you setup your amps pre-amp/master volume etc? Also I had the same exp switching between the amp/line-out switch and the combo/studio settings. At least for my setup (Blackstar Club HR-50) it sounds better with those settings as you stated them.

@stoOberp 4 года назад

@russellmanaloto6943 3 года назад

Hey Jon! Have you tried dialing up the lows and highs to 0 on the combo or stack front output option before pluggin them into real amps? Try it out! It sounds more realistic than going studio/direct! Cheers! :)

@leok7646 3 года назад

Yes! I tried it, seems like more natural to me

@mikesmoviemadness24 4 года назад

@@heraldgreenbanger5488 Yes, it works great! The Katana has an input for just the power amp so when you plug the 500x in you don't have to worry about having to tweak two settings.

@iliaspallas7080 3 года назад

hello man.thanks for the video.i ve got a question.i m using the hd500x only as a modulation pedal between my drives and my reverb pedals, in front of a vox ac 30.i dont use any amp or preamp models of pod.but i think that my sound is a little bit compressed and not as rich as it was without pod.i did the settings you suggest.does it matter if my pod is on abcd mode or on 5-8? thanks.

@himanshumusicboy7134 4 года назад

Hello John, thanks for the great series of videos you made of the pod hd 500x , does the LED lights on the BANK up and Down footswitchs work or not during preset change?

@JonEleyetGuitar 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! You know...now that you mention it...I don't think I've ever seen the LEDs light up on the Bank switches. They may light up for certain functions, but not when selecting presets.

@Jager_sog9 2 года назад

A bit late to the party, but I just got the pedalboard and I'm lost... Is it possible to hook the 500x straight to the amp and sti use the distortion from said amp?? I've got a tube Marshall that sounds really good as it is, but I want to add some delay and chorus to it, just using it's native distortion...

@jeeeeev 3 года назад

What if I want to do the exact opposite? I want to use the built-in preamp+cab of my POD? What would be the set-up? This is what I've been looking for since there is a situation I cannot bring an amp into a small-time gig, so I'll just make it due to what's available and sometimes the amps that are provided by the venue are not that great.

@jayot182 Год назад

After more than 12 years of owning my hd500, the best result for me so far is using the headphone out of the 500 and connecting it to the fx loop return of my amp. It preserves the tone of high gain amps. Just make sure you're in studio direct mode. 😊

What about for a live gig? Any suggestions

@TheDacheetz 11 месяцев назад

Hi. Hope you have it figured out already. Happened to me too. I just stepped on the toe part of the pedal really really hard to get back to exp 1. 😅 (bought my 500X used)

@umpolpip4619 Месяц назад

This is my 3rd view. I can confirm that some electronic sync between Guitar, PC 500XEditor and Amp will change the sound from the already set and sent. My Amp disappeared and Mixer level lowered!

@Thesamtvv 3 года назад

What would be a good amp to use for hd 500x under $300? Question: since pod hd500x already has built in amp can I just get a cabinet or something? Which is not an amp!

Thesamtv you can get a powered monitor. They work great. Something like the alto ts12 or the headrush.

@frayedsanity 8 месяцев назад

Going studio/direct makes the hd500 use the cabs, so you have a digital cab running through a real cab, which sucks. Makes it soundnso muddy. I use Stack Poweramp and it sounds great and doesn't color your sound as much.

@estimatora1419 3 года назад

I just bought one of these but it sounds really bad with my fender mustang 4 amp. My amp is a modeling amp. It’s really muddy and bad any ideas why ?

@lukescott8438 3 года назад

hold down the tuner button while turning the amp on. it’ll take it to bypass mode so you’ll only be using the effects on the board

@lukescott8438 3 года назад

also EQ some off the lows and mids if it’s sounding a little too muddy

@amrilmy 3 года назад

You must connect line out of hd500x to fx return mustang. It will bypass the preamp section of mustang and only hear the sound of hd500x. Mustang 4 do have stereo fx return. Any multifx should use this method .

@edmundogarcia5097 4 года назад

Isn't it better to use the 4 cable method?

@jindemorrow 4 года назад

absolutely, so you can get delay and reverb in the fx loop

@JonEleyetGuitar 4 года назад

Thanks for asking. My amps are at the studio right now, but when I get them back I'll look into it. What seems to be the problem? Do you like the way your amp sounds if you plug your guitar directly into it without the 500x?

@tropzx 4 года назад

I run into an orange dark terror head with an orange 2x12 cab. 4 cable method. I only use the pod for tube screamer, noise gate, eq and it uses the amps sound. Using the 4 cable method seems to be the only way to use the amps sound
