Line 6 POD HD500

This is just one of many instance where a bit of DIY nonce is invaluable,

Make up a couple of 22k pots in tins, jack in jack out and you can solve a vast number of such level matching problems.

Put a modestly priced 1:1 audio transformer in one of them and you have a hum loop buster and a handy re-amp box to boot!

Fit bypass bootswitches to taste.

Dave, any chance you got schematics? I might be interested in doing the re-amp box myself.

My advice would be don't. Buy some decent analogue effects.

The POD has always looked attractive to me but even the latest just doesn't do it. Wasp in a jam jar. I sold it.

I did pretty much the same thing: I was impressed with it in a shop, took it home, was still impressed, but on the off-chance I went back to the TC and the HD was on Ebay a few days later.

The HD is good at presets, and it's very good at getting pretty close, so in an environment that I needed excellent presets I'd probably use one. However, even in the fuction band I only really have 4 sounds and the TC is considerably better at those than the HD. Also, I wonder how many live players really want to "model" on-stage, I can't help but think that it's geared more towards the studio and if that's the case then there are better alternatives.
