I've used the HD for almost 9 years to the day, I bought mine a few weeks before the 500X came out. I was super duper butt hurt. My biggest gripe at the time was how ugly them damn foot switches are. Like what the actual fuck guys??? They are terrible and just down right ugly as shit. I have pretty much mastered the thing to a crazy level. My tones are 100% inspired by and chasing the liquid Boogie lead tone...and I think I fucking finally nailed it!! First, I don't use the USB, or any type of monitor type thing, I use real guitar cabs. Two 412 cabs actually, and I power those with the power section from the original Spider Valve 100w head via the FX return. It sounds real good. I basically only have two patches at the moment: a clean tone that is very atmospheric with a few modulation effects I can toggle. Like classic JP arpeggio chords ringing in the breeze. And the other tone, a mid gain fuzzy sound that is washed in so much reverb you can't tell what's going on. It sounds so good for playing Smashing Pumpkins, you would think that Billy Corgan himself was playing...best tone ever? I kid. You know what time it is. It's time to play epic fucking lead guitar and try to make it sound like John's tone as close as humanly possible. Try this: First and second block is a Weeper Wah and a Volume/Pan block respectively. They switch when you hit the toe back and forth. One on, the other off. Nifty. Number the third is a Blue Comp, sustain is at 75-91% with the level at 51%. Next is a Screamer, set with the Output high and the Drive fairly low...like a traditional TS used as a boost. Set the other controls to taste, mine is set to: Tone is set at 50, Treble at 50, Bass at 41. Allso try it with the Drive high and the Output lower, like Drive 40, Output 50 for example. It depends on your speakers and everything else. Here's where it gets interesting. I split the signal into two after the Screamer. Top row is bypassed, and bottom row is a Mess Dual Rec, aka Treadplate...WITH cab sim ON!! Utilizing a V30 Tread cab with a 57 on axis. Drive at 45-62 ish....about 1 o'clock give or take, bass is at ZERO, mid at 11 o'clock, treble 9 o'clock, presence at noon, and channel volume at about 10 o'clock. I use the channel volume to blend it with the top signal which is bypassed...but still produces a real dry clean tone, like a DI. Mark series amps have the clean signal always on, that's why I did that. After the amp/cab block is a Graphic EQ block, which isn't exactly the same as Boogie's, (80, 240, 750, 2200, 6600), but it'll get you there. Just use your ears here. After the split comes back together is the digital delay. Time is 550ms, FDBK is 75% for lead, and about 80-85% for swells, treble is rolled down a smidge, and mix is at 41% for lead and 45% for swells. In the global menu, make sure that the thing is set to Studio Direct. That is the only mode you should ever use. The best high gain amp is the Treadplate, without a question. With the EQ, and clean tone passing through, and many places to adjust the tone and gain staging, it's a fucking PHENOMENAL preset. Give it a go, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get it rolling. I've been working on this tone for years. Like lots of years. I've tried a bunch of patches from the website. They all sucked. Try this

Is that the 500X making the tone?
Edit: I think that's a regular HD500
@@rickfeith6372 You're correct!
@@raoyen can you share a preset for pod500?
