I've got one of these and it sounds absolutely awesome

I bought mine in 2002, I think I paid around 99 dollars at the time. I still use it today, I have never been able to afford newer pedals. Sometimes, the foot switches don't work well, but I still love using the pedal!

I always fail when tried tp connect. Turns out my PC crash, blue screen. Everytime. What should i do? I'm using windows 10

2:13 what is the name of the video? can I have a link please? thanks

Subbed BTW with bell, just cuz you put so much time into this old pedal, some of us really appreciate the help.

I got my 500x with a hard rugged case custom made for it, it's 1 of a kind i believe, and the 500x is in phenomenal shape for 10 yrs old. I got it all with manual for $100, lol. I have been wanting one for like 9 yrs or so and it's the 1 pedal that everytime I was like within an hr of picking one up off Marketplace, something ALWAYS happened and canceled me getting one. Like 4x. Was odd cuz I do biz on there all the time and usually not many issues, but this pedal had had like a sort of curse for yrs on it,lol. Anyways, I was BLOWN AWAY by the sound. The only bad side was that it made all my other shit I had, like 45 pedals, 10 distortions etc, sound weak in comparison. Even pedals ive sworn by for decades, it just sounds crisper and tighter. I will be using this til the Kemper or Helix etc come WAY down in 5+ yrs. This is plenty, PLENTY good enough for me. And I'm a semi retired from being in bands musician that's been in like 20 bands, toured a bit etc, and ive heard countless setups and this pedal is just AMAZING for the price. It's amazing regardless of price actually. I see HD300's for $80 oboe, and 500x's for $125 all day now. A person is just missing out if they don't try one. My only gripe, is about me actually. I suck at programming these things. Thats why I had like 45 pedals when I got this,lol. Easier to use. But I trusted keeping this and switching so much that I sold half my pedals. I'm gonna force myself to dive in this week and learn how to use this thing better. Luckily the guy I got it from had done all the firmware updates and had downloaded and set up a ton of metal / heavy patches in it, so I've been fine just clicking it on and using it as I got it from him. But I love Incubus, old Korn, older Chili Peppers, Thrice, Fugazi, Beck, etc. I want to branch out and do more expansive stuff that's complex with effects at times, so I need to learn how to use this thing properly. Your vids have helped a bit so far, so ty. Well this post is WAY too long lol, sorry, slammed a bunch of coffee for Xmas eve morn and I'm a bit wound up,lol. Thanks man. Appreciate the time u put into this old pedal.

I follow each step and mess with my vol but i still cant get a good tone

How to use usb recording on an ipad?

Same great playing but different quality of sound.

bought the ultra strat II 2020 replaced the whammy bar with Vega ..way better than stock fender

You can't tell the difference in UA-cam's shitty quality recorded with a shitty microphone. This video is absolutely pointless

I need a guitar any volunteer, I Really appreciate it. Nice weekend.

In the mix may be only dogs can hear that “$2050 difference”.

Is it just me or do they sound exactly the same to anyone else?

Lol

Hi sir. Your free preset link is doesn't work anymore :(

Jon, love your videos, short and to the point. Also, cool visuals. Nice to see that you are still rocking the HD500X

The important thing to know is that the quality of fret board wood is certainly different and the frets and fret work as well. The tuning pegs are most likely not the same. The cheap one may not be shilded well and I'm certain the pots and wiring is lesser quality. The paint job and bridge is probably lesser quality too. Ya gotta wonder if the cheap one can be set up as well as the other without a leveling and recrown first. The cheap one most likely has a junk plastic nut, too. The other probably has bone or graphtech. All these things make a huge difference in the long term for playability, sustain, tune ability and intonation. The good news is that all those upgrades can be done for much cheaper than the cost of the expensive model. Aside from the frets and fretboard. That is ultimately why many people would just buy the higher quality one and get it over with.

They sound exactly the same

Still gigging with mine. I have one in my practice area and one for the shows. It's all I've been using for about 8-10 years.

I hear a difference. Just not a $2,000 difference.

It would be more noticeable if you played through different amps vs swtiching guitars

Get a nice EQ pedal and it will sound so mhch nicer...that should be everyones first pedal

corny flick

The second one looked more comfortable. The sound was similar.

You can go get groceries with jetta, and you can go get groceries with a AMG 63.

Hi, great advice. Could you also recommend an affordable and decent guitar amp, which has an FX loop, that's also loud enough for small gigs. I'm currently down to the Blackstar Debut 50R, the Katana 50 and the Laney Foundry 60. Might be unable to demo them where I live so I might have to buy blind. Will be using it with a Boss GX100. Thanks.

Why rev and dly before amp it should be after amp

i still use my Pod XT Live and Variax 700 from 20 years ago lol

Does it have high gain tones?

Same same

It isnt sound, but playabilty what you pay for. Learn to adjust and setup a guitar and all squiers are great

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Yes

Can you hear a difference? No but you can feel it

I think it's relevance depends on the user and their needs. As far as the edit software not working after OS updates, you can run the edit software in "Compatibility Mode" in Windows. This allows you to run the software via sim of an older OS within Windows. Not sure what the Mac equivalent of that is.

Les Pauls rule

Jon thank you for the videos of the pod HD 500x, greeting from chile

NO FAIR WATCHING. Turn phone away, listen only, then comment.

Same sound clip.

1 big diff … Fender will stay tune lol

Second feels heavier

The ultra seems to have more grit

Barely any

This is the closest thing to country that I've ever played 😂

The Gretsch sounds fantastic.

The Fender has brighter tone with the volume turned down, but when I turn up the volume there’s no difference in tone. Weird

I’m using my hd500 using 4 cable method and it sounds good on my Marshall amp. But if i plug it in straight to my computer for recording on a DAW, my computer crashes once i load the DAW. Doesn’t matter what DAW. I tried it on reaper and Ableton lite and my computer crashed both times. This has been an issue and Line 6 has no fix for it so far. Any idea on a workaround on this?

The Squier is built with cheap Chinese labor, materials, hardware, electronics and less choice cuts of wood. That Fender was made in the US, has locking tuners, a Wilkinson bridge, a real rosewood fretboard and better wood all around. Just the pickups alone in that fender costs as much as the Squier.

No differences, Fender Ladrones.
