A little about myself:
My name's Jon Eleyet and I like making videos about guitars! Sometimes the videos are about a goofy guitar that I made out of Fruity Pebbles, other times it's a tutorial about guitar tone. In either case, my goal is to make your life better by giving you a laugh or unlocking a new skill.

I've had the 500x for 3 years and learnt so much more about the unit since discovering your channel 2 weeks ago than the last 3 years, thx and keep those videos coming 👍 watching from New Zealand.

[@fret2fret221]

I love that particle verb sound! Really great for a worship guitar player who’s on a team without a proper keys player. Great for that synth/pad sound. Thank you so much! I ordered mine last night! So I’m studying your videos so I can get right into it ASAP. I’ve only ever used a traditional pedal board setup. Very limited as of right now. Can’t wait to plug this monster in! Thank you for your videos man.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Sweetness!

[@chrisricetopher21]

Im in a similar boat as you Fret 2 Fret.... I get mine in 2 days!!! I’m pumped! I’ve watched all Jon’s vids and I feel like I will be flying though this bad boy once I get it cuz Jon’s such a GREAT teacher. I’ve been an acoustic player and worship leader for like 15 years with a whole lot of loop pedal usage for the long 2 hour sets I’ve done with the house of prayer (IHOP). I just bought a MIM strat, to begin to learn again, after I stepped down from my last WL gig. I got severely stagnated/complacent with all my chord playing/leading positions that I never really learned my way around the instrument like I wanted to when I started back in 7th grade. I’m super interested in how you’re liking the POD now that you’ve had it for a bit. Any standout features? Likes, dislikes?

[@nightfallstrings849]

I just got a hold of a used HD500x and still trying to figure it out. I used to own the line 6 x3 Live totally different lol. But I really appreciate your input helps a lot !! Right now having hard on making tones. I’ll probably watch this about a thousand times to get it lol

[@larrymchaney4792]

Thank you so much for your awesome instructional videos. I have just purchased a HD 500X and it is bewildering to a novice guitarist. I am picking up a lot from you. Props my man! Subscribed!

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Saweet! I love hearing that.

[@ZackStubbington]

also that last little example was amazing... great sound. thanks man

[@seanc2550]

Man you got the POD dialed. I just fried mine Sunday morning in my fumbling to get set up. A bit of a pricey mistake. Word of warning. Make sure you are super careful with your USB port. Mine was broken (the little black plastic piece inside the port) and I didn't realize it. I believe I was talking to someone while plugging it in and shorted the USB with power supply. Got a new/used one coming. No one could give me a rough estimate for repair cost other than a $100 minimum and that's without shipping. Fun stuff.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Wowza. Didn't know you could fry them like that.

[@bocook6167]

Very nice sounds. Like your style of playing. Ambient tone is so enjoyable to play and hear. Thanks for the tips.

[@cesarrodriguez-tw9bp]

I'm excited, just downloaded the HD500X Edit software ... thanks a lot, I have an iMac, so hopefully, everything works well ( I've had problems with other software like mouse pads for illustration and CAD software) thanks a lot Jon

[@boosh90]

The swells tone with the increased overdrive sounds more like a lap steel on the higher notes. Definitely gonna try that now. Great playing brother

[@penpensmg3231]

I can use this adding t my worship patch thank you so much bro

[@cyrilmjose4114]

You're a great Jazz player!! The note at the end of the first demo was really Jazz man!! Loved it...........LOL!!!!

[@SerhiiBaskakov]

Very thankful for that video! It works!

[@reid1967]

ok, I'm sold, gotta get me one of those, nice vid.

[@tapiten]

U are an awesome teacher for us old farts! TY 😊

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Thank you, glad to hear it!

[@awi_channel55]

thanks bro

[@lewisshearer]

Amazing my dude

[@ZackStubbington]

this video inspired me to get the software... i haven't yet but i definitely will haha.

[@FCCGP]

Hey Jon, new subscriber here. Thank you for easy to understand, good instruction for 500x. Have you messed with the mixer block? I have found when using one amp, that by setting path A&B to center, it really opens up the sound. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Interesting. I've only used the mixer block to set up stereo amps.Thanks for the sub!

[@ErlynorTIzHN]

genial!! .... bless you

[@sampathsnair507]

Thanks buddy

[@maduroholdings]

Had to subscribe !!

[@jahiasad]

Jon, great tutorial. Question. How are you running your guitar through the free download? Please step by step from input to output (plugins, cables, usb) .

[@SOUDmuzik]

Thanks Alot bro

[@himanshuguitarist_sitar]

sir how to connect pc pod 500x

[@tilleyroadaffairproduction6752]

Hi there I really like your video but I am wondering what is the noise in the background? It is very distracting and you have such a nice subject I wish I could focus on what your are saying. Thank you and keep on doing these videos on these Helix.

[@shipsthesizeofcastles4720]

Hey man I’m having a crazy amount of trouble with my 500x. My computer isn’t seeing it while I have it plugged in via USB but I’m just trying too have it for the HD edit. Let me give you a run down if it’s not too much to ask. So I have a iMac, USB too 500x Iv update the line6monkey but still says I have too update/install while iv done it 5 times already. I’ll plug it all up iv reset the 500x and done it again but still no progress. And it’s got me down idk what too do if I could get some sort of help. Im very grateful and thank you for reading/helping out!

[@Mikekeehbauch]

Jon thanks for making these videos. I’ve been trying to find a balanced sound between clean and a little crunch. I’m a praise team leader at my church and often play rhythm electric from my POD HD500x and American standard Tele. Any recommendations for a balanced amp on the device.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

I'd go straight to either the 'BF Double NRM' or the 'Class A-30TB'. Those are models of the Fender Twin Reverb and the Vox AC30.

[@kevingrayson8285]

Are the headphones plugged into computer or the 500x?

[@tapiten]

Can you edit on the fly? With pc during a gig?

[@jeeeeev]

have you ever had encountered problems connecting your pod to your computer like bsod?

[@tommyg9814]

Great tone. I’m curious about something. You hovered over the pedal image on the edit screen and a picture of the pedal it’s modeled after popped up. How did you do that? I’ve never seen that on mine before.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Oh, my bad! The Line 6 software doesn't do that. I overlayed the pic after I recorded the video.

[@sebastianchaca00]

Great content ! subscribed ! would you upload the patch ? thanks

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Thanks for the sub! I'll consider uploading the patch. I need to improve my download website first.

[@FZ779]

OK got it, but here is a question what about without Pc or laptop is that possible to get those sound by editing manually on pedal itself?

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Yup, you can totally do it with just the pedal!

[@josephprem1644]

God bless you bro,teach us wah also bro

[@ashnikolast8200]

Hi, what is the name of this preset in your website? I keen to purchase this. Thanks!

[@Zilmayjaink]

How many different delays can you use simultaneously?

[@DebenVanDamme]

Great videos, if only I had the luck ... my HD 500x doesn’t communicate with my Mac. I’ve tried every solution found online without luck. Even had one of my Macs crashing on the usb driver. Is this crappy software or just unlucky?

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Could be either! Which Mac OS are you using. I don't think Mac OS Catalina is supported by Line 6 anymore😭

[@DebenVanDamme]

@@JonEleyetGuitar it is, still supported, but not clear what was the exact problem... What i do noticed, it just needs the general 'Line 6 audio-midi driver' it doesn't work with the specific dedicated one. And you have to authorize the mac os system to use it. So do not use the driver recommended by Line 6 as the one build specific for the pod HD 500X, just search for the general audio-midi driver that probably works for every line 6 pod.

[@keyboardwarria]

the particle verb sounds like you have strings in the background

[@c.a.sangeleno1088]

hi Jon do you have a free download of your presets patches?

[@djendydaud390]

Please share link line 6 POD HD 500X software 🙏🙏🙏

[@eeveeaitch4735]

can cabinets be used on this?

[@ericholder9406]

Really like these videos! One question. I play at church as well, but I heard this board will cancel out the unique sound of the guitar, have u ran into this situation when using some effects? For instance, a les paul and tele will sound the same...

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

In my experience, I've felt that my guitar tone comes through pretty well on the 500x. I can even hear a big difference when I flip my pickup selector on my guitar.

[@tapiten]

👍

[@SDH2023]

Nice. Subscribing.

[@luboetr]

Hi man! Is it the same for HD pod 300

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

It should be pretty close. The HD300 may not let you use as many effects at once though.

[@Frogsplash27]

Is the POD 500x still worth it in 2019?

[@robertwahl4382]

Frogsplash27 all about the Helix. But that’s pricy

[@zdf14]

It definitely holds up pretty well if you figure out what you're doing, but the PodGo is just slightly more expensive and is more similar to the Helix

[@Frogsplash27]

@@zdf14 thanks, but i ended up going with a Katana mk2 100W and its pretty amazing for what i need it for.

[@zdf14]

@@Frogsplash27 Solid choice, I hear nothing but good things about the Katanas.

[@damiancgarza]

Pedal board mode?

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Yup! There's two modes on the 500x. Check out my video called, 'Pedalboard Mode vs Preset Mode' to learn how to access them.

[@damiancgarza]

@@JonEleyetGuitar in pedal board mode can I have different setlist that I can scroll through

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

@@damiancgarza Yup, you can still scroll through your saved presets in pedalboard mode. Essentially, each time you switch presets, it's like swapping out an entire pedalboard.

[@damiancgarza]

@@JonEleyetGuitar awesome thanks a bunch. Your videos have been helping me so much. I truly appreciate your hard work . God bless

[@batphink2655]

Dude way too much talking nit enough guitar, Just saying.Nice sounds though
