Bringing The Pod HD Pro Back To Life

- The biggest flaw in the Line 6 POD HD series of gear was the cabinet simulation. Luckily there are some very good cab IR loading pedals on the market, including the new Mooer Cab X2 pedal, which lets you save some of your old gear that may be suffering from bad cab simulation syndrome.

i do not understood how to connect this unit into my POD HD ... :'D I'm to noob... Looks like a very plausible sulition. Thanks for the video man.
I've upgraded my HD Pro with custom impulses on an external IR loader. Yes, the internal IRs are crap compared to what you can get on the market. Huge upgrade!
I think this video and a lot of your others drive a very important point home, which is even if newer, more advanced gear continues to come out, it's not a reason to get rid of what you may already have, if you can use your own IRs. The cabinet/speaker/mic combination is what makes or breaks the tone and how you get there is truly up to the end user
100% champ! 💪
Hey nice to see the pod alive. I personally use the pod hd bean connected to my ThR 10 X. And gives me some sick tones, actually is no need of new gear for me. I like to record metal so the rest of the job is made on reaper.
Line 6 is killer! I love my Kemper but so many are so happy for a reason with the Helix!
I have one of these in my home studio rack. Even though I also have Helix and Kemper units that are newer and sound great, I’m always happy every time I play thru the HD Pro. There’s something about the way that the stereo delays sit in the mix with this unit that is better than the Kemper or the helix in my opinion. I also love the computer editing software on it. It’s my favorite UI, and the dual amp tones are excellent.
I performed with a HD500x and a Mooer Radar- sounded amazing!
💪💪💪
There were some seriously amazing effects in this unit.
I started running my HD500 through a Mooer Radar with IR's, and it sounds fantastic.
Hell yeah! 💪💪
Stock mooer ir's?
@@jonw3462 I mainly use either the stock ones or ML Best Free IR In The World
Just scooped one of these up like 2 weeks ago..pro x and ml labs irs..blew my socks off man
Awesome!! 💪💪
This is definitely the best solution, as the effects and preamps are good.
I think it was the power amp sim the destroyed the HD series. It sounded like a badly biased power amp that needed repair. The power amp sim is turned off when you turn off the cab sim, that’s why people blame the cabs, but really it technically sounds like a malfunctioning power amp section. Using EQ is a terrible bandaid to the problem, as the problem still leaks through. Line6 should have stepped up and released an update, but ego got in the way and they remained silent, sometimes using users to attack others, whenever asked about it, waiting for it to disappear when HX was released. Sadly the culture of not addressing issues and bad ears follows them to this day.
Too bad, as their previous effects and gear were great.
I had this POD two weeks.After back to the shop.No more Line 6 since the day.
"Weedle wee wee's!" HAHAHAHAHA. Holy cats that's hilarious!
Sick! So to get a left cab and right cab mix happening I can just run my setup in a single mono and then stereo out to my audio interface?
And then set the cabs up in the software or on the pedal it I can remember them on the dial?
Very helpful!!! Is there any way that we can get the cab IR that you are using on 4:50?
So you could also send one signal path like you did to one cab and another to the other cab and aswell as being able to blend them you could use the Cab X2 as a sort of channel switcher if you wanted?
Would you recommend this or another IR pedal to revive my current POD HD500X or recommend just making the jump to a POD GO, Hotone Ampero's or HX Effects/Stomps? Given I am not currently gigging much.
I got an inexpensive sonicake IR pedal for my HD500 and it sounds great 👍. Even uploaded my fav IR in the pedal.
Very nice!
That pedal is great. Inexpensive and loads most 3rd party IRs.
I still have my X3 Pro and Floor Pod, still sound kickass to this day, I think to get the best out of them through an amp is to turn off cab simulation and boost with a tubescreamer or a model of one, sounds huge even to this day. If fizz is bothering you then nuke the higher end with the EQ. Love old Pods 😂
The XT/X3 series was awesome too!
Most of my pod preset are dual amps so this thing should work perfectly
Did I miss what you use a as a power amp? And how do you set the power so it doesn’t “color” the sound from the Pod and the cab sim?
Great Vid Taylor! I would like to see this cab sim vs the Mooer Ge-Multi cabs, are they better, worse or the same?
I would bet they’re the same
Hi, I really like your videos, I came by on them by accident. I really like the idea of reviving my old 500x with cab sims. I watched both of your videos and I’m wondering which one you think would better : joyo cab box or mooer cab x2?
Can you tell me if it has the same quality as Mooer Radar? I would also like to know if it is better than Flamma fs07.
Not entirely pertinent to the video, but that Fortin capture is just amazing. Using it on my Mooer GE200 with an Ola Englund IR and it’s awesome.
Totally pertinent! I love that sample lol. It's really angry!
You should do this showing how to hook it up with a cabinet as well.
🧐 there has to be a video on my channel where I’ve done this…. if I haven’t, that’s a good topic
I picked up the mooer radar for this reason. I do have a kemper but I also have a pod hd500x that suffers from bad cab sims. I figured hey, $100 pedal will give this unit a sick face lift. Especially since I can load my own IR’s!!!
Yeah, that was the move for a lot of people in the same situation. I didn't even know that was a thing until I had moved on from it!
Amazing video \m/
Glad you enjoyed it
I used to love my HD500 but listening to it now the tones haven’t aged well.
Hello
Can i use my POD HD Pro for effects with a Tube amp?
After having the Main Board on my HDX Pro soil the bed and Line 6 quoting over $300 to fix it, the most expensive Line 6 gear I am willing to invest in was found on a garage sale table over the summer.
Oh man, that’s a bummer. Sorry to hear!
I’ve noticed the latency varies quite a bit on these external IR pedals. Do you know the latency introduced when using this pedal? Thanks.
Mooer Radar has no noticeable latency fyi
I’ve never noticed any, unless you intentionally add it with the knob
Awesome
Is there a rack version?
Hi, im just now getting into cam sims and IRs. Can this be used alone at the end of a signal chain to run direct? For example, guitar>OD>reverb>CabX2? Thanks! Great video btw!
You can, but I would run it guitar>OD>cab x2>reverb
@@TaylorDanley great! Thank you!
Would you happen to have tips on how to connect an IR loader pedal to the HeadRush MX5? Similar to what you did here? I have IRs loaded on the Boss IR 200. Since that pedal is not an effects processor I’d like to figure out how to connect it to the MX5 for effects. As always thanks for your tips and options. Very good info on your channel
Does it have an effects loop? You could 4 cable method it to the mx5, that way you could place effects after the IR. If not you’ll just have to go output of mx5 to input of IR200. Sorry not familiar with that one!
JTV69 to HD Pro use preamp mode.
Line 6 link out to DT50.
No need for IR. Sounds good too
Did the same with mine. But used mooer radar))
Can you blend the two cabinets? Or does it have to be right and left?
I believe left and right, but you could probably get one of those Y adapters and do it that way 🤷♂️
I want to run that but with a eleven rack can you make a video for that gear !!! Great video.
I don't own an eleven rack, but if one happens to come up on a deal that's possible!
Thank god I found you can you please help me use this I’ve had it for a while but I don’t use it How to set it up
Brother, this is an SUPER video that solved EXACTLY the problem I've been having. That said, you went into turbo mode during the actual explanation of the usage of the Cab 2x. I found myself stopping and rewinding the video too many times. You need to slow down and get off the caffeine 🙂 Good work !!
The hd pro x is about 30 on reverb I might just buy another one! Owned a half stack and power amp with mine and it sounds amazing without IRS, at the time I didn't know about IRs but for 300 for a decent sound amp sim out the box and throw on some bogren digital IRs this thing will scream!
@@IshredGuitar I think X is just more processing power... you dont get the overload error screen is often.
Interesting test, id rather go back and turn on my HD pro again too
do it!
@taylor what’s the difference this be the Mooer radar?
I've never used a Mooer radar, so I don't know ALL the differences, but I believe the main one is you can load MNRS samples from their website onto this one.
Great video but man that POD HD sound is unbearable yet I see that it might work in a rehearsal or gig as backup. However the idea of reviving old hardware using custom IR & probably an additional power amp might be a great idea. Could you try stuff like Digitech 2120 or 2112 or maybe some old effects from Roland like the GP16?
Thanks. I like this tone though, so you probably wouldn’t like what I dialed in with that gear either 🤣🤷♂️
@@TaylorDanley Used to own an HD500 it was a nice unit but didn't feel like a big leap forward when it came to high gain sounds in comparison to the previous POD XT. There is a certain fizziness that personally couldn't get used to. Would have thought that an IR would make a difference but doesn't seem to be the case here
@@celestialode it’s defective power amp modeling that’s causing the problem. Turn off the cab sim, which turns off the power amp sim, and use external IRs or run it to an external power amp and cab. It will sound much better, as the preamps and effects are good.
@@Tmidiman So you can just fix it by running it into this IR cab pedal correct and just use the amps that come with the POD Pro X?
The cabs in the X3 aren't anything to write home about either. Running it through a Two Notes CABM helps that SIGNIFICANTLY.
I don't know if this is the same but I have a Mooer Radar and if you want to save 3rd party IRs to it, you have to overwrite the stock ones, otherwise there are only about 10-12 'user' slots to store some.
I think the xt bean was the first modeler I ever owned, and I revisited it a while back. Still awesome. I was actually kind of bummed out when I got the pod hd because it felt like so much was missing from the xt by comparison.
@@TaylorDanley Kind of why I took a pass on 'upgrading' to the HD. The X3 has SO many decent 'high gain' amps in it compared to the meager offerings in the HD, I just didn't feel like it would have been worth it. And according to a lot of the reviews at the time, it wouldn't have been .. lol..
Holyyy what guitar is that my guy
I have one. Sounds great. But the dsp makes dyal Amping pointless
Does this pedal have power amp simulation?
No it doesn’t appear to
@@TaylorDanley It's sad, since the Mooer Radar had power amp sim. It's a cool feature to use with preamp pedals.
Thanks for the video! I had the same question about the power amp sim and ended up reading a blog entry on the Laney blog page with the title „cab sim vs. IR“. Long story short IRs seem to be the more complex kind of files that include power amp and room information etc. whereas cab sim is a slimmed version just related to the cab. That would explain why you can switch of the Mooer‘s cab sim and still benefit from the the pedal‘s … well… power amp sim content if you will. Does that make sense? I‘m still guessing about that stuff. If my comment is misleading or simply wrong just delete it😊
There is a setting in the cab that Paul Ortiz recommends to turn to 0 and it comes to life
Oh the podhd? Link it!
i love my 500x i plug it right into my kat head into the 212 it rips
I did this with a mooer radar and a pod HD and it sounded great. However, since I wanted to downsize I sold it and bought a Mooer ge250. I miss its whammy and particle verb.... The fxs in the mooer ge250 are a JOKE.
what is a joke about them explain? there is plenty of effects
Is that the successor to the Mooer Radar?
It seems so!
@@TaylorDanley , can you adjust mic parameters?
I ran PODs for years and really liked my PODHD. Then I bought a Fractal FM3. I'll never use anything else again. It's like pro versus consumer gear. Blows the doors off the competition.
I completely agree with this sentiment, and as much as I want to tell everyone "just go buy a fractal product", I need to try and be a champion for people that are looking at cheaper gear due to budget restraints, etc.
Also, imo not everyone “needs” complex gear, for one i sold my helix and keep using an ampero, sound quality with custom ir is close and its so simple to use and i can keep one as backup, also touchscreen is yes :D
Too much gain, bro)
en vérité c'est de la nostalgie qui nous fait croire que le son est pas si mauvais, mais en vrai si on compare avec ce qui existe maintenant, c'est vraiment pourri ,ça nous a pas empêcher à une époque de s'amuser avec ces vieilleries...
in truth it's nostalgia that makes us believe that the sound is not so bad, but in reality if we compare with what exists now, it's really rotten, it did not prevent us at one time from having fun with those old things...
I just load it in my DAW
4:56 sounds like hideous divinity =D harmonic minor i guess
Wait a second... If the Line 6 can't load custom I.R.'s.... Then how does the stomp box magically load custom I.R.'s......
Lol “incessant widdley weez”. That’s the only part I understand
