Welcome back to the POD HD Connectivity Series.
In the first video, we mapped Variax guitar models and tunings to
some specific presets on POD HD500 to create some pretty massive
hands-free control. Then in the second video, we looked at the cool things you could do with POD HD
and the DT series amplifiers via Line 6's proprietary L6 Link.
In this video, we're going to pull all this gear together to build some pretty complex sounding
rigs that are actually pretty easy to configure. The first thing I want to point out
is that this rig was put together with a pretty minimal number of connections: one connecting the JTV-89
to the POD HD500, an L6 connection between the HD500
and the first DT50 and a second one connecting the L6 Link thru
on head one to the L6 Link in on head two. I used the free
POD HD500 application to create all the sounds you're about to hear and I
spent most of the time toggling between the effects, amps and mixer windows
before I moved over to the setlist pane to export all my sounds to the POD HD500.
Like I mentioned earlier in the series, the HD500 features a VDI
Variax Digital Input that allows you to route specific guitar models
and tunings from the Variax to individual presets on the HD500.
So on the first demo, I mapped a Drop C Reso preset I created on the JTV-89
to the POD HD500. On the left, you're gonna hear a
Tweed B-Man preamp model. On the right, you're gonna hear a
Blackface Lux model with a little bit of compression and reverb.
So this one features
the neck pickup of the Spank model with a Drop B tuning on the JTV-89.
On the left hand side, you're going to hear the Bomber Uber preamp model.
On the right hand side, you're gonna hear the J800 preamp model.
At the beginning of the signal chain, you're gonna hear the Uvibe model and at the end I
brought up some Digital Delay just on the left hand channel.
So to compliment the T Model and Baritone tuning I've dialed up on the JTV-89,
on the left hand side I'm using the full amp model of the Class A 30TB.
On the right hand side, I'm doing something kind of interesting. I've dialed
up the Blackface Double preamp model which is normally a Class AB model.
But on the amp, I've actually set that to Class A so we've got Class A going on on both sides.
At the front of the signal chain, we've got the Red Comp and at the end on the
left hand side you're going to hear a whole bunch of Analog Delay w/ Mod.
Let's take a listen.
So that gets us to the very last sound and I'm taking some of the
POD HD500 and DT50 magic and applying it just to the bridge position
of the JTV with all the Variax functionality bypassed so you can hear what the
guitar sounds like. Kind of cool. On the POD HD500, I'm using the
Script Phaser. That in turn goes out into the Screamer which is overdriving the front
end of the P-75 model. Then, I'm splitting the signal. On the left hand side, you
can hear delay and reverb for a sound that I think is gonna be kind of familiar.
