I never managed to get somewhere near this sound with the 500x i owned and sold, because of that reason. Otherwise i was really happy. Now hearing patches like this, i'm super hot for buying one again. Fuck.
its still pain in the backside. i have one - ended up recording dry signal and using OwnHammer IR for any decent sound. it sounds ok for practice and maybe gigging.. i found its close to impossible to record L6 proprietary cabs... i quad track - and after that there is some sort of digital noise - fucked up crewed static noise... not audible on each track but together - ohh what a fuck up. this does not happen with 3rd party IR tho - which is great. but again i got it for AU$350. i think the preamps are fine - which i will try to lay down for recording once i get Captor and use 500x as a preamp running thru power section of my JVM410HJS.. i am hoping the Mesa and Engl preamp sims can be usable in this scenario... and yes the power section and cab sim of L6 500x is just shit!
While it is true that you can get kinda decent tones out of hd500x (i own one at the moment), but the problem is if you don't really like the tone, you won't really be happy about the device. There are tons of possibilities with this device but if you can't get yourself to like it -> it doesn't matter. I can hear that the unit eats my tone (running it through tube Orange TH30 combo), in every configuration, 4cbm, just send/return for FX, doesn't matter, the sound loses clarity when i plug this thing in. Don't get me wrong, the unit itself is pretty much ok for the price, and there are tons of people gigging with these, but i personally get very uncomfortable with what i'm hearing when i use it. TL;DR: The tones in pod hd are okay, i just can't get myself to love them (i'm talking about tones straight out of the unit w/o any external processing). I guess you sold your for the same reason. And that is exaclty why we have so many choices today. Some people prefer one thing over the other.
hi Andrew, I am hearing you and agree w you. I prefer to record with JVM410HJS thru Captor and the re-cab as per mix. however for practice and demo runs I do with HD500X. the tone can be lot better with external IR or WoSIII. what I learned about HD500X is - use only pre-amp sections and best sounding cabinet - that even works for quite demo runs. Engl Fireball, Rectifier and Soldano OD for high gain are quite usable for demo. i got this unit for $350 so given this I cannot hate it haha
awesome. that TesseracT singing clean patch tone ROCKS and is amazing!!!. I have a Line6 Firehawk FX and will try to use your patch to recreate it on the FHFX since they both use the same engine basically as the HD500 Pod. Great stuff. More Prog Rock. BTW, love your Carvin 7-string. I have a Carvin DC135T 6 string myself. Great channel and videos.
It would be great watching some tutorial videos on how you built these patches. Stuffs like EQ, compression, sustain, making tones more realistic, etc. Anyway, great job man, you're the POD web king in my opinion 🤘
Check out Jason Sadites Helix series of videos even though its for the Helix he goes into ALL the fine details of how and why in his building patches series and how to really shape the tone with EQ and etc. great stuff
This was one of the best videos I've seen about the hd500x. Thanks for showing how awesome this thing sounds :) and also thanks for the presets. Probably going to buy it soon :3
I'm having a tough time, as my only guitar is a strat with 3 single coil pickups. I was hoping of recreating the sound of this genre but I probably need a 7 string guitar with humbucker type pickups ;-;
Well this finally convinces me to buy the hd500(x) i guess, thanks for the video and especially the patches. That was what I was looking for, some preset that sounds like my favorite stuff so a guitar / tech noob like me can sound (similar). Cheers!
I know it’s been awhile, but these patches are still great, and I’d love to put them in my HD500X to play with them, so you know what’s be REALLY awesome? If you just did a quick vid showing the actual settings in hd500eEdit or something, so I can copy them, since I can’t use the downloads! Very disappointing these actually sound FIRE possibly the best for my style that I’ve heard one these dialed in
Soulhenge Hi thanks for posting I love your videos and music! In your opinion do you think the 500x is worth the upgrade? Or just go with the cheaper hd500?
Question, I have the Pod HD Pro X, if I'm not mistaken, it's the one you used to have. Anyways, when you play live with the rig, do you run the full sim? Like, full cab and mic options and everything? and do you run it on studio/direct, or the power amp setting? I'm running mine on power amp mode, with the pre amp models, no cab sims. Asking this because I wanna know how to get the best sound possible out of it live. Great sounding patches by the way man.
Sounds sick dude! in a previous video you had said you made a few changes to your patch... i was wondering... what did you specifically change since the patch featured in the 'monuments' video?
kevicusmusic .: If I remember right my old tone was with the Line 6 Elektrix simulation, this patch is with the Fireball sim. Other than that, I took down the bass a lot and added some treble (both on the amp setting and overdrive)
The ambience tone sounded incredible for me, but I really couldn't make your metal patch sound anywhere near it does in your video. What am I doing wrong? Greetings from Brazil!
The fuck! You are a Beast man! rock on and get famous with a solo career! you dont need no writing skills, you can just go to the Studio and improvise your album on the spot!
I just purchased this board tonight I’m not sure what you mean by patch downloads are you saying if I click the link in your description I can download the tones used in this video
Hi there, I have a budget of $500 and was hoping to get the 500X. Should I buy it or some other multi effects? I'm into Post-Rock. Thanks P.S. How about 500X vs Mooer GE300? I saw your review but it was Mooer & Helix LT.
Hey man, how are you doing? Line6 is offering 30% off on HD metal pack and metal shop pack for the POD HD500X. Would you recommend it? Any big improvements over the big bottom and insane amps?
You can get an acceptable tone out of a ux1 and POD farm 2.5. I used that setup up until about 2 weeks ago. I'm using a Presonus Studio 68 with S gear 2, and I like it much better than anything I've heard from line 6.
Hey man what do you think to the Laney Ironheart? I bought one last year didn't think it sounded that great....it was at bedroom volume though so couldn't really crank it. It now sits in a cupboard and i'm using my Pod HD500 through my computer, thanks for the downloads man.
sounds so good. it's not going through the laney that's on behind you? I'm on the fence over a pod hd and if this truly is just the pod direct in, you've sold me on it.
did you work on these patches with standard pack only of the pod500? I'm new to the line 6 family. hope to hear with you soon. btw, I'm from the Philippines. sick tones!
If you mean the Silvertone, you have to look on the used market. The blue 7-string is a Carvin and it was custom made for me! You can configure one on www.kieselguitars.com It's the DC700 model!
Ehi man I am struggling with my guitar buzzing like yours but i think it is not a problem, I hear even guitatarrist like rosin abasi who as buzzing, is that a problem for u when u record clean guitars? Do u hear the bus on finished tracks?
I used this live back in 2015-16 straight into the PA, sounded nice! Also have Blackouts in the RGA8 Ibanez that I played. Search for Soulhenge Live at ScreamingFields 2016
Do you have any experience with dual amp presets in POD HD devices? I want to get an HD 500X and A/B between two amps in one preset, but I'm worried about dropout when toggling the two amps. I know I could just use two presets, but there's a slight audio dropout when changing presets and I'm trying to find a way around this. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to just try one out and see for myself.
Would these still sound good with active pickups? I have blackouts in my 8 string and emg 909s in my 9 string (want 909x eventually) any suggestions on how to edit the patches for these pickups? Also I'm using an amp and cab not an interface. I use the power amp if I use my hd500x.
okey i need help i downloded the sound and all that and it dosent sound close to the same and not even good on my gear and i need help if someone is willing to help i have a marshall pod hd500x and a prs and it dosent sound so grate please help
Questions coming your way. Anyone can help me with answers/guidance: I have an 50w EVH 5150 III with matching 2x12 evh cab. I have a ISP Decimator GString 2 (takes 4 cables to use...i hate it but its a powerhouse for noise cancelling) im about to sell it and get a regular isp dec 2. od808 mini. Im mainly experimenting, finding my sound. Im very interested in getting a 500/500x. Love the sound in this vid. Would i benefit have a multi effects pedal? Id love to ditch pedals for 1 solid station. Would it make a difference to sound? I love the high gain on the 5150 but would the HD500 be a pedal that needs to stay on the clean channel to run effects/patches? I want to use my amps potential, not just slap on the clean channel and have hd500 do all the work. What are Pros vs cons to setting up with the 5150?
You would hook your hd500x up to your 5150 by using the 4 cable method. You would be using your 5150 amp for the sound and you can place the effects in the pod anywhere you want in your "chain". The effects in the pod of course work great on the high gain stages of amps..Just make sure to turn off the pod's amp/cab sims. But if your just looking for effects, why not look into the line 6 M series? They are smaller, and don't have amp/sims, but have all the effects.
You might want to look at Fractal Audio FX8. I believe that unit can even switch channels on your amp (it has two relay outputs that can be connected to your amp's footswitch input)
The Tesserect clean was so on point
The best sound of pod hd from web
M8, YOU ARE MY SAVIOR. Just bought a POD HD500x and your patches are INSANE
how to get the patches ?
Tones are always in the ears and hands of the beholder!
Riduan Roslan that is very true. I seen many people make amazing tones on this.
4:01 THE L I C C

Like I promised, the first thing I did when I got my HD500X was download Monuract and I love it. Sounds awesome thank you man, Subbed!
Holy. Cow. These are honestly insanely good. I can just hear all the time spend in HD500 Edit lol
Greetings from Belgium! I have a POD HD Pro X and I have learned quite alot from watching your videos the past 6 months. keep 'em coming :D
The pickups in the DC700 are incredible!
Not really. There's pretty average compared to higher end brands but if you dial it in properly they sound superb.
awesome. that TesseracT singing clean patch tone ROCKS and is amazing!!!. I have a Line6 Firehawk FX and will try to use your patch to recreate it on the FHFX since they both use the same engine basically as the HD500 Pod. Great stuff. More Prog Rock. BTW, love your Carvin 7-string. I have a Carvin DC135T 6 string myself. Great channel and videos.
those heavy patches hit hard! nice!
Very nice of you to give away these patches. I look forward to trying them in my 500X!!!
already download your presets yesterday, it's all sound awesome! thank you!
Duuuuuude your djenting is on point!
It would be great watching some tutorial videos on how you built these patches. Stuffs like EQ, compression, sustain, making tones more realistic, etc. Anyway, great job man, you're the POD web king in my opinion 🤘
Check out Jason Sadites Helix series of videos even though its for the Helix he goes into ALL the fine details of how and why in his building patches series and how to really shape the tone with EQ and etc. great stuff
Im definitely downloading the patches the cleans sound amazing ! Ill try it with my band!
Awesome presets, especially the tesseract one. Thanks for the share man, sounds amazing!
This was one of the best videos I've seen about the hd500x. Thanks for showing how awesome this thing sounds :) and also thanks for the presets. Probably going to buy it soon :3
I'm having a tough time, as my only guitar is a strat with 3 single coil pickups. I was hoping of recreating the sound of this genre but I probably need a 7 string guitar with humbucker type pickups ;-;
Love the way you play man!
Can you try achieving Dir en greys distortion tones and effect tones? Would greatly appreciate. Your tones are sick. PODHD500x would be preferable.
your playing style is awesome, just like the tones \m/
Thank you very much!
Well this finally convinces me to buy the hd500(x) i guess, thanks for the video and especially the patches. That was what I was looking for, some preset that sounds like my favorite stuff so a guitar / tech noob like me can sound (similar). Cheers!
YOOO chord goals on that Carvin!
amazing tones ... In competent hands ... POD HD is an amazing unit ... \m/ ... \m/ ... \m/ ...
Congrats bro! And thank you very much for giving this presets for free!
they sound awesome.. thanks
I know it’s been awhile, but these patches are still great, and I’d love to put them in my HD500X to play with them, so you know what’s be REALLY awesome?

Soulhenge Hi thanks for posting I love your videos and music! In your opinion do you think the 500x is worth the upgrade? Or just go with the cheaper hd500?
Tonally, both are the same. The X just has more CPU as far as I know!
Question, I have the Pod HD Pro X, if I'm not mistaken, it's the one you used to have. Anyways, when you play live with the rig, do you run the full sim? Like, full cab and mic options and everything? and do you run it on studio/direct, or the power amp setting? I'm running mine on power amp mode, with the pre amp models, no cab sims. Asking this because I wanna know how to get the best sound possible out of it live. Great sounding patches by the way man.
Which I had long fingers like you...bruh you killed it😂❤
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome tunes dude. What strings are you using on the 6 string guitar?
Sounds sick dude! in a previous video you had said you made a few changes to your patch... i was wondering... what did you specifically change since the patch featured in the 'monuments' video?
kevicusmusic .: If I remember right my old tone was with the Line 6 Elektrix simulation, this patch is with the Fireball sim. Other than that, I took down the bass a lot and added some treble (both on the amp setting and overdrive)
Your stuff is awesome man! Keep it up.
Thanks for these mate
The ambience tone sounded incredible for me, but I really couldn't make your metal patch sound anywhere near it does in your video. What am I doing wrong? Greetings from Brazil!
Davi Cirino what was the ambient tone called on the website
Sick tone!
Great patches! Great test :)
Sick man! Awesome! 🤘🔥
fuck!! the riff before changing your pick right at the beginning.... damn that might just be the most awesome and djentiest riff in existence...
haha thanks! I tend to djent around a lot when I play random stuff.
U Cant tell me that was improvised?!?!?!
+Leon Kowarschick: yes sir.
The fuck! You are a Beast man! rock on and get famous with a solo career! you dont need no writing skills, you can just go to the Studio and improvise your album on the spot!
man if it was that easy to record songs... I'm not djenty Buckethead unfortunately!
Great sound!!!
Dude thanks for this! sounds amazing! :D
Hi brother I’m Chanrith from Cambodia 🇰🇭 nice to see you. So could you make a video about setting this tone for us? Thank you 🙏 ❤️ (podhd500x)
Really really useful. Thanks a lot my friend.
thank you thank you very much for this download!
Amazing tone and riffage! What's the Fastback's tuning and string gauge man?
I think it was Drop C, don´t remember the gauge though... Sold this a long time ago.
Awesome. Thanks dude.
Wow great video. Can we drop the tune using hd500 without retuning the guitar itself?
dont know what kind of sorcery is this but octaver never sound that good on my pro x... awesome tones man!
I just purchased this board tonight I’m not sure what you mean by patch downloads are you saying if I click the link in your description I can download the tones used in this video
Thanks bro! I can't wait to try these out! Do you use these for live and studio stuff?
Ryan Daly Yeah exactly :)
Rad. Keep up the good work, man!
I have a POD HD desktop. The black bean. Will that work for these tones?
Killer patches, can you do the same for the HX stomp?
thanks bro this helps out so much
Excellent video! The 1/4" OUT on the POD was on the line position? For the out, did you use the usb conection, 1/4" our or XLR out?
I always connect it via USB!
Hi there,
I have a budget of $500 and was hoping to get the 500X. Should I buy it or some other multi effects? I'm into Post-Rock.
Thanks
P.S. How about 500X vs Mooer GE300? I saw your review but it was Mooer & Helix LT.
Hey man, how are you doing? Line6 is offering 30% off on HD metal pack and metal shop pack for the POD HD500X. Would you recommend it? Any big improvements over the big bottom and insane amps?
Awesome sound!! Unfortunately I own a Line6 UX-1. Will that work with that hardware as well? If not, what would you suggest I do? thanks!
Ellvournok: ugh, no idea :/ maybe if you have some money look for a used POD HD :)
it may not be as good as the Axe FX but with some work you can get some good tones out of it. I bought my HD Pro X and I'm happy with it.
You can get an acceptable tone out of a ux1 and POD farm 2.5. I used that setup up until about 2 weeks ago. I'm using a Presonus Studio 68 with S gear 2, and I like it much better than anything I've heard from line 6.
Nice tones bro!! do you have patches for POD x3 live pls!!
Cool!
Hey man what do you think to the Laney Ironheart? I bought one last year didn't think it sounded that great....it was at bedroom volume though so couldn't really crank it.
It now sits in a cupboard and i'm using my Pod HD500 through my computer, thanks for the downloads man.
Terry B I've had mine for 7 years now, still love it. I think it sounds great at low volume, it helps having an overdrive though!
sounds so good. it's not going through the laney that's on behind you? I'm on the fence over a pod hd and if this truly is just the pod direct in, you've sold me on it.
No the Laney is just there to look cool in fact :D I think a POD HD is never a bad investment.
Soulhenge cool man. thanks! just bought one lol
Man we have a very similar playing style!
Could you do a video making patches like these on the helix?
did you work on these patches with standard pack only of the pod500? I'm new to the line 6 family. hope to hear with you soon. btw, I'm from the Philippines. sick tones!
Can this be used for HD300?
3:29 song? Sounds cool
is it possible to get some isolated guitar tracks of your latest rythem tone for amp matching in bias amp 2?
Hi! I watch your videos with pleasure!
I want the same guitar, but nowhere can I find it, where to buy the same one? She is divinely sounded
If you mean the Silvertone, you have to look on the used market. The blue 7-string is a Carvin and it was custom made for me! You can configure one on www.kieselguitars.com
It's the DC700 model!
Soulhenge ☝️👍👍
I love the tone man will it work on hd500x ?
When you convert the patch file it will!
Soulhenge Gear Reviews have my HD500X coming soon and your patches will be one of the first things I do. Hope I can figure it out and make it work!
genial. por favor el link del presets. saludos
Ehi man I am struggling with my guitar buzzing like yours but i think it is not a problem, I hear even guitatarrist like rosin abasi who as buzzing, is that a problem for u when u record clean guitars? Do u hear the bus on finished tracks?
Nice videos bro. Subbed ;)
Remake these for the Helix? Pretty please? 😃
I've redone quite some for the Helix, check my Line 6 Custom Tone page! :)
how are you powering the POD? Cab? FRRF powerSpeakers?
Can someone pls explain why is HD500 better live instead of HD500X? I don´t get it
thank´s.
Hey soulhenge, Would this sound this good live. As in with a cab? I have blackouts in my 8 and 909s in my 9.
I used this live back in 2015-16 straight into the PA, sounded nice! Also have Blackouts in the RGA8 Ibanez that I played. Search for Soulhenge Live at ScreamingFields 2016
I mean, would I need to make adjustments on the pod to make it sound like it does on this video with a cab. Besides just turning the cab sim off.
Do you have any experience with dual amp presets in POD HD devices? I want to get an HD 500X and A/B between two amps in one preset, but I'm worried about dropout when toggling the two amps. I know I could just use two presets, but there's a slight audio dropout when changing presets and I'm trying to find a way around this.

Would these still sound good with active pickups? I have blackouts in my 8 string and emg 909s in my 9 string (want 909x eventually) any suggestions on how to edit the patches for these pickups? Also I'm using an amp and cab not an interface. I use the power amp if I use my hd500x.
No. Lose the actives
strings gauge for 7 strings? awesome video
11-64 NYXL by D'Addario!

What is the distortion preset he was using called?
Ahw to bad the patch is only for the HD500 i work with the pod pro X3
Are they any good for lead. No one is doing any good lead demo
fucking killer tones man...was wondering if it would work with pod farm? if its not i was wondering if its a l6t file?
Eric Kindel: Even for other HD models you'll need to convert the file. I don't know if it works with POD farm.
Does anyone know what the tone is called for the cleans?
okey i need help i downloded the sound and all that and it dosent sound close to the same and not even good on my gear and i need help if someone is willing to help
i have a marshall
pod hd500x and a prs
and it dosent sound so grate please help
Is it a recording with the usb connexion or did you record with a microphone in front of the amp ?
Direct recording via USB!
Okay thank you very much man, your videos are really helpful ! 👌
Not able to load .hlx file extensions onto my POD HD500x software. Please help
Shakthivel Ganesan that's normal because .hlx is for Helix and not for POD HD.
Just out of curiosity, have you made any metal bass patches with the POD?
Joseph Ugri: No for Bass I use Logic X intern plugins. Making a video about that very soon!
Can you download these on pod xt live?
What were the intervals you used for the harmonizer on the Tesseract sound? That sounds dead on. I have an AxeFX so I can't look in your patches.
It's the original note mixed with a high octave!
Sweet, thanks dude
Do you run these patches with global eq on? If so, how is your eq set?
Questions coming your way. Anyone can help me with answers/guidance:
I have an 50w EVH 5150 III with matching 2x12 evh cab. I have a ISP Decimator GString 2 (takes 4 cables to use...i hate it but its a powerhouse for noise cancelling) im about to sell it and get a regular isp dec 2. od808 mini. Im mainly experimenting, finding my sound.

I Need It Badly But It Says Purchase software Or product!!!!!
