POD HD Tone Shootout

[Dans]

Hi guys, just figured I would share the result I got with my POD HD desktop.
The clip briefly demonstrates some of the patches range from cleans, leads to heavy rhythms. Take a listen.

Cleans & Ambient

Leads (from over-driven to high gain)

Heavy rhythm tones (in the mix)

Except from the metal rhythm clip, there's absolutely no post processing on the guitars. For the rhythm clip, there're only a hair compression and saturation on the master bus before it hits the limiter.
I've came across some very promising results with POD HD, if you like them and want to know more, please feel free to leave me a question here or my ask.fm page.
I'll also be sharing some of my patches sooner or later!

Any comments and suggestions are welcomed! Cheers

Great tones,diggin the clean ones a lot. Could you upload the files? Also what kind of snare is the one in the heavy clip? It's from a Slate library i guess?.

Thanks mate, glad you dig it! I'll very soon release my patches (pretty much all of them, because why not ) later here, so definitely keep an eye out
And you're basically right about the snare! I'm using two snare samples from SSD blended with another free snare sample I found on net, just adding some meat to the tone. Parallel compression and room reverb also play huge roles in the snare sound tho.
