    Line 6 Pod HD500X

    I used the previous model (X3 Live) for a few years and was happy with the amp simulations and range of usable effects; however reliability became a big issue. Footswitches would not switch when used and patches and effects were changing randomly by themselves. This was the nail in the coffin as...

I had all pots and sockets replaced, a new impedance selector switch plus a few components and a new mains plug fitted as the bulgin plug was knackered and unsafe.

    JCM600 and GT8

    I was using a line 6 POD X3 Live into a 74 Superbass, sounded ok(ish) but ditched it and went for seperate pedals, this made a huge difference. It puts a smile on my face every time I gig.

    Fender Hot Rod Biasing Questions

    Thanks for the info, more food for thought. Just a quick question, why do think Fender provide a bias voltage test point (measure in mv) if in reality you still need to measure plate voltage and calculate bias based on 65% -70% dissipation. I thought the idea would have been to make valve...

    Marshall 50th Concert Thread

    A stunning evenings entertainment, highlights were Satriani, Malmsteen and Gilbert. Paul Gilberts tone was awesome. As mentioned in a earlier post Brian Tichy's drumming was outstanding. Just hope Marshall release a DVD
