Line6 HD500 Synth Sounds

[@DanPrince]

I appreciate the crazy effects here! Most of the Pod demos are the same conservative blues rock and metal sounds. Thanks for showing another side to this unit.

[@AnttiLoponen]

Yeah, I often get bored with those. :)

[@antfactor]

Same here... THANK YOU!!! So many cool textures from this - LOVE it!!! Most guitarists (musicians?) are FAR too conservative with this technology. Why not GO crazy?!?! You paid for it - LOL!! Thanks again. :)

[@boggelzz]

The endless amount of things people can do with a simple electric guitar (while using the he right gear) is amazing

[@AnttiLoponen]

Yeah, it's really interesting :)

[@smorgan4760]

These are amazing. I would not have been able to come with anything even close in a decade of trying. Thanks for sharing.

[@AnttiLoponen]

thanks :)

[@dansca72]

You are pure Genius! Thank you. I put the patches in my HD500x and often it's still possible to add e.g. a compressor to augment durability, or reverbs or other accessories. Really, thank you. I hope you'll make more. HD500(x) can really give nice surprises!!!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Oh thank you :)

[@ChadHuskey]

Very nicely done! Super creative and very talented patch creations.

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Chad Huskey Thanks, glad to hear you liked it!

[@faunoram]

Wow ! Amazing sounds !! Most of the Pod 500 videos are the same thing, you have a great imagination and ear to get these crazy sounds !

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thank you!

[@nopicks1]

WOAH! THIS IS INSANELY COOL! You've convinced me to pick one up!

[@nopicks1]

Also, thoughts on using this in a live setting?

[@chrismeaney4928]

@@nopicks1 I'm thinking of doing something like this but on an fx loop so I can go from zero to hero real quick! I don't think a full show of it would be for me.

[@LUCA.ITALY.]

the sounds are fantastic and also work on the pod hd500X, thanks again for the patches

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Luca Luca thanks!

[@SkitzoMR]

These patches sound superb!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Taavi Kuusk Thanks!

[@vestal9195]

Awesome I've been creating some sounds with the pod X3 live, then I thought maybe the 500x could sound great too. Thanks for inspiring this guitar sound exploration!

[@ShroudedInSilence]

Hello Antti, your tones are wonderful like your Finland! You captured the sounds of the secret Nature of your nocturnal woods and lakes. I have a POD 500X and I never found anything so well done elsewhere. Thanks for your precious gifts. Myrko

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks, great to hear!

[@leandrocesarmaccan5655]

I love this video! This week i have bought a POD HD Desktop, and some of this sounds can be done with a little tweaking on the presets. But is very impressive that some subtle changes in the chain can do dramatic results

[@Kfurio]

Amazing tones...great job. Thanks for sharing the patches!!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Kfurio Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jjjjcccc494]

Wow! These are incredible! Well done!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks!

[@erickptacnik4741]

I just ordered this pedal today... thank you so much on making it so much easier for me!! it's my first multi effect pedal.. I was worried it was gonna take so long for me to get a hang of it.. thank you

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Erick Ptacnik thanks, good choice :)

[@openstrings]

Thanks for learning, then doing and then sharing!

[@AnttiLoponen]

You're welcome!

[@guillermocaez2]

I was trying to find your videos again, I remember the old patches that you uploaded with I pod X3 live. Man you rocks!!!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks, the X3 stuff is still up here, I just haven't owned an X3 Live in 5 years. I still do have my trusty XT Live though, its expression pedal doesn't work anymore nor some of the switches :D

[@guillermocaez2]

+Antti Loponen I still do have my XT LIVE too with your old patches hehehehe and it still working great 👍🏻

[@AnttiLoponen]

Great to hear :D

[@orbita1]

this is really phenomenal. thank you for sharing, there's a few that i really enjoy.

[@AnttiLoponen]

[@pavelnokkard1251]

Thank you very much, Antti! Very good presets!

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Pavel Nokkard Thanks!

[@guitarwhores753]

Awesome... gonna check them out this evening. I think a lot of people underestimate the power of the Pod. I got the HD500X about 6 months ago and love the thing.

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Guitar Whores Yeah that is true, the Pods are often considered just as amp modelers but the effects are neat

[@voodoochile3201]

I can't wait to check out mine in a couple of days! NICE effects!👍🏿🎸🤘

[@CarnageNetworkUK]

You've convinced me I need this for next years festival tour! Awesome sounds... thanks. Automo Tone

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Carnage Network thanks, HD500 really is nice for playing live.

[@LLlMEJI]

Awsome! I bought my pod hd500 because see this video!

[@brunoferreira1974]

Thank you very much for your work and sharing, good work :)

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Bruno RF Thanks!

[@EasilyAmusedTheBand]

Fantastic!! Can't wait to try 'em!

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Easily Amused Thanks, I hope you enjoy them

[@zaiten2012]

oh snap, this thing crushes any BOSS GT I've ever owned! The harmonizer sounds impossibly clean, there's practically no aliasing or sampling decimation, I can hardly believe this...

[@AnttiLoponen]

+German Salazar Well, there are the occasional glitches in the harmonizer/synths, it's not perfectly clean, but at the same time I've learned how to play to make the harmonizer/synths work (just single notes, strong attack, not too low and not too high, no additional noise). And finally, these are just the best takes I made ;) But still, I haven't tried any Boss GT products, would be fun to compare.

[@zaiten2012]

gotcha, in that respect BOSS harmonizers are similar, all monophonic; precise as long as there's clean picking. It's issues aren't really warbling or glitching but rather sound decimation and aliasing, meaning "lo-fying', the resampling of the signal is not that good. A way to mask this issue with the GT's is to place the FX before the OD/dist in the signal chain so the fuzz hides the decimation fizziness. Nonetheless, you didn't use distortions and as far as synth voices, Line6 rules BOSS; all the GTs have is a rudimentary square/saw wave. maybe the new SY300 has all kinds of crazy polysynth stuff but at twice the price.

[@arislaf]

Love them!!! That is what awesomeness sounds like!!! Want em!!!

[@AnttiLoponen]

arislaf Thanks! I forgot to save the patches and left my HD500 at the practice space. I'm returning there on sunday, that's when I'm uploading the patches.

[@arislaf]

Thanks!! I will be waiting!!

[@arislaf]

Antti Loponen Any chances we will get the patches please?

[@AnttiLoponen]

Yes I am, sorry for still not doing it. A bad combination of forgetting, being lazy and being busy :)

Thanks!

[@Stefan-]

Very cool !!

[@mrgscales]

I did not know I could get these tones from my POD500. I'm going to be real busy for a while.

[@AnttiLoponen]

They are not the most obvious sounds to dial in, but not definitely the only synth tones available :) Enjoy fiddling around!

[@isaacflores4338]

Nice work!

[@MultiChrisDaniel]

Now I am proud to be a.. POD HD500X's owner simply waw.... amazing...

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Chris Daniel thanks! I'd love to have a HD500X, more processing power, sometimes my patches are limited by the DSP power of the normal HD500

[@MultiChrisDaniel]

+Antti Loponen yea they should hv given more dsp.... but no doubt this video ws awesome.... hats off to you man....😄😃

[@rhkendall]

Mint, I'm so glad i found this. Keyboard in bin, guitar out (y)

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks! In the eighties they tried to make the keyboard sound like a guitar ;)

[@rhkendall]

It'll help out with my band, hopefully.

[@JeraEstudio]

I. Need. That. That...That thing. Shit. I NEED it.

You can to make a full film

[@AlanZofficial]

Freaking awesome.

[@AnttiLoponen]

Oh thanks :)

[@stoltobot]

Holy shit, all this with a guitar signal? Just what I've been looking for.

[@AnttiLoponen]

That is correct. You have to play a single note, whose pitch is tracked and then a synth sound with the said pitch is triggered. You could theoretically control it by singing.

[@TheCastellowsLive]

Sweet!

[@MrDzserdzsely]

Thanks fo rmaking it so easz to get the patches $

[@AnttiLoponen]

+MrDzserdzsely no probs, you're welcome

[@BarbaRojita]

So epic !!!!! Thx men !

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Gonzalo Pavez Thanks!

[@aidanpoulter9514]

haha that synthetic fermentor sound is like those raptors just before they eat that fat guy in Jurassic park. Wild.

[@AnttiLoponen]

I loved that movie as a kid but don't remember that sound at all from the movie :)

[@sushanthdaggumati9869]

The one at 42 sec is craazyy

[@Jakodrums]

wow never knew those things where possible

[@AnttiLoponen]

Yeah, not very usable, but interesting and funny :)

[@alfredodom]

very great sound ! didn't you got perhaps some banjo sound ? manu thanks for your return

[@lfox02]

One of the few people I see with the POD actually at their feet...

[@AnttiLoponen]

When I play guitar, my hands are occupied. Most of the editing I tend to do on the computer with the HD500 Edit.

[@thiagotrevizan9049]

Very nice man !!!

[@KirbyDTrim]

Great fx!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks!

[@KirbyDTrim]

You're welcome. You inspired me. I was searching through keyboard arp'd synths but this is exactly what I needed!!

[@AnttiLoponen]

cool :)

[@fredyrocazaurus8420]

Awesome !

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks!

[@glauberbarros8742]

Wow 😮😮😮 it can do that ?!!

[@666elperro]

Nice Job

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks!

[@jhenryyhosuartitolima1007]

very good

[@AnttiLoponen]

thanks!

[@SahilNihar]

Which amp is used please help?

[@nmnmnm9509]

Very nice...the camera was in harmony with the dark ambient atmospher of your sound track. Has podhd500 or helix a decent strings effect (orchestral....violins and..)? I have afew staffs that played by keyboard with a symphonic effect ... But I m not keyboardist and it's not enough good ... Can I use guitar and this kind of effect ? How?Thanks very much.

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks. I think you should look into the Electro-Harmonix pedals that turn your guitar into keyboard sounds quite fluidly.

[@hendramokoginta2209]

i'm wondering if you can help me to make a patch for me. i have the sample of a sound but i don't know to make it using POD HD500

[@vladscherbinmusic]

thank man!

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Влад Щербин you're welcome!

[@billiamreynolds]

thank you thank you thank you for this. Your audio quality sounds amazing. For some reason I can't get rid of a small but noticeable hissing sound. Putting noise gates on the patches helps slightly, but it's still there and it bugs the crap out of me. Any ideas? does your pod also do this?

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks! The hiss could come from your guitar? My SG is quite noise-free, but my Telecaster makes a constant buzz

[@PH76Strato]

Great !

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Valér Herendi Thanks!

[@doublemusics4591]

Is the background noise is happening because of the line 6 pod 500x ?

[@AmbirFaryaad]

awesome bro

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks mate!

[@AmbirFaryaad]

Antti Loponen ryt now I'm using your patches ....fucking coooooollllll. ....damn man ....bless you to 7 life's

[@AnttiLoponen]

:) thanks, enjoy!

[@鹌鹑鹌鹑-h5d]

It's cool!!!!

[@AnttiLoponen]

张江屹 Isn't it! :)

[@sth9188]

with this, can you do sounds like Matt Bellamy and Tom Morello ?, i want to buy one but i don't know, i want this for sounds like Muse and Jack White, and also, this line 6 has a vocoder ? cheers man you are awesome.

[@AnttiLoponen]

Yes, you can do all the Tom Morello tones (except the ones where he uses a custom guitar with an oscillator). I'm not that into Muse so I don't know how Matt Bellamy gets his tones, but I believe he also has a custom built guitar so I'm not 100% sure. There is a vocoder indeed, you can connect a mic and blend it with the guitar. Thanks!

[@sth9188]

Thanks man, and how much it costs ?

[@aidanpoulter9514]

Nice tones. I'll definately look those up on custom tone and download. Hey, where do you buy those pimped cases for pod hd. It's like a flight case kinda tough thing!? I always loved that bubble echo effect but never ever got anything written or recorded with it. Wild sound though. Just bought a 500x and loving particle verb and the ducking parameter with echo. Cheers.

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks! I ordered my HD500 from an online store called Thomann and they make cases for any product with their product line called Thon Case.

[@aidanpoulter9514]

Antti Loponen thanks. I tried looking them up. They're in the US it seems. I'm in Canada. Not sure I can use them. Thanks for prompt answering. Did you. Are any music with these crazy sounds in? Cheers. Crazy meant in the good sense. Who likes normal anayway

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thomann is German, and I live in Finland. I haven't used these particular sounds in any music context, but please do check out my band Consciousness Removal Project for some effected guitar stuff :) It's on Spotify and Bandcamp.

[@shoseinen]

Do you have 8 bit chiptune sound patches? Ive started to create some using a Zoom multieffects and the pod hd, but still on the search for better ones

[@theplaceofrefugechurch8970]

Awesome work! I tried to click on the link, but I don't think it took me to your patches. Could you give me a link please?

[@AnttiLoponen]

Patches should be here line6.com/customtone/search/all/3/?sort=&sort_dir=&search_term=Echoflanger

[@GenesisMuseum]

these are amazing patches, especially for chords by playing a single note only and they sound astoundingly realistic. do you have a patch recommendation for a piano-like sound, something like the end of layla, for single notes?

[@AnttiLoponen]

It's not really doable with this device :) I would just go without amp model and use two octave harmonizers, one below and one above, but even then it wouldn't sound like a piano...

[@jaisenjanned]

i dig your flight case. What kind ???

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thon, I believe the Thomann webstore makes them

[@DaroZmith]

Amazing patches! I´m trying them one by one on a HD500X. This is my second day with the unit and I can't get the expression pedal to work as you do with your patches. Any help would be appreciated :)

[@AnttiLoponen]

Hm, difficult to say. Does the expression pedal work on any patch, as a wah or volume or anything? If not, it could be a calibration issue and there's probably instructions on the internet for that. Also clicking the toe switch on the pedal could have an effect on how it effects the patch.

[@DaroZmith]

Thank you. Yes, it was a calibration issue related to firmware update :D

[@face_manual_sculptor]

Thanks for a great demo! Are these synthesizer tones also available on the Pod HD 500X?

[@AnttiLoponen]

+Farhad Ali Thanks! I'm pretty sure they are on the X model as well!

[@face_manual_sculptor]

Thank you.

[@brywool]

These are awesome. Question for you, right now, with the organ patch, it plays a chord when a single note is played on the guitar. Is there a way to make the CHORDS you play on your guitar come out as if the chord was played on an organ? Thanks!

[@AnttiLoponen]

Thanks! I'm sorry but chords are not possible with this device. The synths are monophonic, the pitch detector recognizes and reproduces only one pitch at a time. If you want to play chords, get the Electro Harmonix C9 pedal.
