Best video that i've seen yet for simple out of the box setup. Thank you.

I guess the light have not been invented in 2011, am I right?

I agree w all the comments about killing the background music. It's like Metal Muzak and it's really annoying.

Dave is the "combo front" setting really only used if you're using one of the POD preamps? I've found that when just using the HD500 for effects only, setting it up for studio direct typically sounds the same as if I was plugging directly into the amp. Can you give us some pointers on that? Thanks.

I have the HD500x is it same concept?I don’t use an amp. I have a EV PA I think I have it set up correctly. What is the difference?

Hi everyone, Anyone who might help me with my Line 6 Pod Hd500? I plugged the amp to to socket and the panel shows nothing but a blank display. Apart from that the metal buttons display red lights. I tried to follow someone's tip on KZfaq and I reckon it went to factory settings so I'm not sure if I lost the original settings. Any chance to help me out please? Many thanks

What if you've got a bean (HD studio)? They have different outputs, slightly. No balanced output. So you need a DI box, right?

Hi guys, wanna ask you something: I have a Pod HD 500 connected to a Samson Servo 200 power amp and a 2x12 cabibnet. The thing is, when I play it with the Pod cab sim's on sounds quite good but when I deactivate it, it sounds awful with so much fizz and noise. What can I do to achieving a better sound? I've tried with all the output types and still sounding bad.

I cant find 4/9 mine stays on 4/12 ?And I cant see on your video what the directional knob is.

when connected using balanced output to mixer : if the balanced output remains at mic level, then why change the output to studio/direct? unless the studio/direct enables balanced output.

Using the four cable method what output setting would you use

I have a isp decimator pedal and was wondering how i properly place it in the rig?

If you connect only the Left XLR output to the mixer, is that mono or only the left side of the stereo signal? Ideally, I would like to connect only one XLR cable to the mixer and avoid using the L/mono 1/4" output into a DI.

does this work with the POD HD PRO? I just bought myself one and Im trying to connect it to my line 6 bodnger MK1. I know the head is discontinued but is it still possible to do the same and bypass the preamp on the head?

So can I connect to power amp and use the direct out also?

Is it possible to use both the unbalanced and bakanced output simultaneously? My idea is to use a combo amp as a guitar monitor while connected to the house pa via the balanced output

thanks.. was wondering how to have a clean path for mic.. i used to move just the amp upwards.. arghhhh..!

If I'm only using the USB into Garageband, how should I set the output switches? Just leave them alone?

hello there ! with the pod hd 500 and hd 500x , will I be able to connect an mic and record in the computer ??? thanks!

My hd500x sounds like crap when connected to a mixer at church

Anyone know how I would connect a Magnum 44 power amp to a HD500?

This works same with the 500x right?

Why are all your valuable tutorials accopanied with too loud music? Things are quite complicated and the music is more than disturbing!!!!!

PLEEEASE -- no background noise! Kills the video's usefulness. if I wanted a lame metal track, I would have searched for "lame metal track".

The first thing I did was plug it into my PC, failed already.

zat you Bill Hicks?

Please guys, in 3:47 he said that phantom power is available or not available in pod hd500?? My english is terrible.

im lost........why is this so complicated?

FUCKKKKK , I just got the 500HD , had the 300HD , just spent 3 days ( about 8 hours twiddling nobs ) I didn't realize there was the output settings for combo and stacked amps ( it was obvious on the 300HD ) .I thought I had it all figured out . Oh well , thanks Dave

next time dont put a noise music in backround... thanks

I needed more info in inputs. The video says "connections" not, "a few connections". Dammit.

The usb on the Pod HD's are an absolute piece of crap.

Agree - background music is AWFUL, and really distracting. Please!

The background music is annoying. Not able to understand.

Was that annoying and distracting cheesy metal music in the background really crucial to this video?

Sorry, but I also agree -- the music is sh!t and distracts from the video.

That was the crappiest set up video ever.. what were these people thinking?

Music in back ground sucks

is there a way to use this device to record on pc? i have an external soundcard, can I hook this up to that soundcard or can I bypass my soundcard and use this as a soundcard?
