Line 6 Stagesource L2T, if you can spend for it.

Right now, I have a Samson Auro D412. I don't remember how much I got it for, exactly. Maybe 12-13k. One of the guys from Audiophile was kind enough to let me buy just one piece. With the right tweaking, it can sound pretty good. I still don't use it much, though. Even thought about selling it.

Guys gano kaconsistent ang sound niyo when gigging direct to PA? So far wala bang problems with the tech and mix? Di ba nasasapawan ang vocals sa PA Kung pati two guitars naka rekta dun?

Pano kayo kumakabit, do you just tap from the extra mic cable? We're planning to switch to two PODs vs lugging around our Spider IV 212s. Thanks :)

Hi mga sir.. Hope you guys can answer some questions

1. Anyone here tried the tube power amp + 2x12 cab route?
2. How does it differ ba sa frfr powered speaker?
3. What is a good FRFR speaker to use with the POD

I am asking this since I have never gotten any good tones from my pod with the alto sxm112a.. Any suggestions? Tnx in advance..

Hi sir, if I may chime in...

1. In my opinion, using a tube power amp will most likely not be a good idea as the tubes (tube type & tube life) will most probably color your sound. I'm using a Line6 Spider IV 212 in test mode and it does a really good job, medyo mabigat lang.
2. An FRFR powered speaker, I think, will replicate the "real" sound from the POD, w/o any coloration.
3. FRFR speakers for POD: QSC, Line6 Stagesource, and as one friend told me, a Samson Auro. 412d if I remember correctly.

Hope this helps bro..

Dapat unity gain lahat ng patches at effects na nasa patches pag binanato papuntang mixer para consistent at walang volume changes. . Sinesetup ko yung patches ko na mga - 12dB maximum ang input nya sa DAW. Nung na setup ko na yung final patch volume, In- experiment ko naman kung anong position dapat nung Master volume para at least - 3dB o 0dB yung input ko sa mixer, (yung gain sa Channel strip ay 0dB lang), sa case ko mga hindi lalagpas ng 3 o'clock yung Master volume.

Lagi akong direct to pa, weekly sa isang small venue church sa umaga at isang malaking Church venue naman sa gabi. Ni minsan hindi nila ako nilagyan ng eq o dinagdagan o bawasan ng gain sa Channel strip ng mixer nila. Cuts through mix kapag lead patch gamit ko at stays in context naman ng whole mix ang mga overdrives at cleans ko.

Xlr outs from pod to snake ako. Tapos yun to mixer.

Medyo mapalad na rin pala ako kasi wala akong sariling frfr system pero nakaka access ako ng high end frfr monitors sa church namin pag weekends.

I set up my patches using JBL EONs and L-Acoustics floor monitors kadalasan pero minsan sa house ako mismo nag tweak, I think L-Acoustics KARA line arrays yata yung model nung PA.

Siguro para makagawa ka ng maayos na tones kelangan yata flat response talaga yung speaker na gamit, saka dapat nasa context ng whole mix yung patches mo.

First months ko sa pod hd, ang gaganda ng tunog na nagagawa ko all by itself, pero kapag nilagay ko na sa PA at nasa context na ng whole band mix yung tone na ginawa ko, parang weird sounding at halatang digital kasi parang hiwalay sha sa tunog nung banda.

Parang kunware room reverb yung buong banda tapos yung gitara nag sstand out kasi parang tunog nasa banyo, parang ganun,wala sa context. Also applies sa overdrive tones

Bro, so ano ginawa mo para mamix mo yung patches mo ng tama pag kasama yung band? naglagay ka ng mid focus EQ? or inangat mo lang mismo yung amp mids?
Or nag mix ka talaga kasama nung band habang nakasaksak sa PA? Thanks bro

So ganito ang ginawa ko, (Brit p75 amp)
- since ang live mix sa big church ay medyo may cut sa highs, binawasan ko treble sa amp, as in 10%, pwede nga 0% eh., kaso ginawa ko na lang 10 kasi may gusto akong tunog sa fender strat ko (american, Texas special pups) kapag position 2 at 4. Bass ay conservative lang 40%, mid ay mga 55%. Hindi ko tinodo ang mids sa amp kasi misdy ang fender Texas specials. Kapag tinodo ko, ang sounds weird sa pandinig ko. Pumili din ako ng mic at Cab combination na hindi bright (Greenbacks at 421)
---- trust your ears, at hindi ang mga setup na nakasanayan. Sanay ako dati na mids nakatodo sa lahat ng amps na nagamit ko, pero it's a different rule kapag sa modelers. At take note na hindi lahat ng amo models ay same ang behavior kapag ginagalaw yung amp eq. May mga iba nga parang walang nangyayari kapag tinataasan o binababaan eh. Again it also depends on your guitar
- ginawa kong 10% ang bias at 0% ang bias excursion kasi hindi tunog Marshall kapag mataas yung bias. (trust your ears sa mga adjustments sa DEPs)
- nilagyan ko ng midfocus eh after the amp na pa low pass at high pass ang setting, dahil masyadong rolled off yung bass dun sa band mix (medyo weird yung setup ng subwoofer namin) Hp at 30%, hpq 50, lp at 73%, lpq 65. Tinaasan ko yung q sa lp para may peak sa point of cutoff ng high frequency, para ma recognize pa rin sa whole mix yung highs nung strat ko. Never ko nga pala ginamit ang modfocus eq to boost mids dahil icucut nun ang bass at treble mo COMPLETELY. Use parametric eq instead.
- nasa 45 % lang ang Channel Volume ng amp, at ang ginamit ko na pang level ng patch volume ay ang gain param ng modfocus eq
- nilagyan ko room reverb kasi room reverb yung in apply na effect dun sa mixer nung sound guy namin (midas pro1 digital mixer gamit)

Yun. Sa settings ko na yan at sa guitar na gamit ko, tunog miced amp na kapag pinapakinggan ko sa guitar monitor at sa band mix

Saka yes sa pa naka out. Pero hindi gaanong matagal kasi magagalit ung senior sound man namin. Mas maganda kung narerecord nyo yung lumalabas sa pa para ma assess nyo yung tunog kung nag si-sit sa mix. Every service pinapakinggan ko yung recorded service na lumabas sa pa.

Bro. Try to check for a youtube vid re an alto ts112A and pod hd500.. Guy was able to nail the tone.. What I have tried is an alto sxm112a. On my initial post I said that I didnt feel that it will produce good tones but damn I was wrong. I think I wanted to make it sound like a 4x12 when it was just a 1x12.. After I changed my cab to a 2x12 and set the sag around 60% I was able to nail the tone I want.. I was using the treadplate by the way. And oh try to put a tube compressor in front. U might like it too.

Thanks bro. Will check those. I think I what I did before with the alto was sort of a stupid idea.. Used a 4x12 cab in the pod and hoping to get the same air from the alto. Bad luck.. A 1x12 can never really replicate a sound of a 4x12 imho.

Does anyone know where I can have my Hd500 repaired? The encoder 4 is going nuts. This is maybe due to my fast tweaking or overuse of the encoder 4. I haven't tried opening it though.

Any help will do. Thanks and God bless!
