Are you a digital guitarist interested in a method to improve your sounds in a short time?
Do you find the infinite possibilities given by digital signal processors fascinating, but also confusing?
Create better tones!
Here is the complete guide to creating tones on the Pod HD, which I wrote to guide you step by step in the realization of your best personal tone from scratch.
The only Pod HD guide for you to fully understand all of its features and use them consciously, creating satisfactory tones that are suitable for your needs with a simple and effective method.
With this guide, you will finally have the tools and knowledge to start having fun with your digital processor. The guide was designed to bring you from a beginner level to an intermediate one in the shortest possible time, putting yourself on the right path to become an advanced user if you'll wish so.
The guide is the result of over 2 years of work made of thousands of trials and errors, listening tests, studies, second thoughts and confirmations.
The guide was based on a Pod HD500, but is suitable for any Pod HD model. The method for building tones presented here is also conceptually applicable to any digital processor in general, not only for the Line6 Pod.

They say about the Guide...
Congratulations, well made: clear and exhaustive. An excellent memorandum for gaps and doubts. (Fabrizio C.)
I found the Guide to Tone Building very useful because it teaches an effective method with which to approach the Pod and, I would also say other similar equipment. I therefore think I have learned that the way in which tones have to be made, both in analog and digital, is always the same. That is to follow the criteria that you suggest in the Guide, that's extremely rational and clean. That's how you avoid "getting lost" among the dozen parameters, knobs, cursors and various menus! (Stefano M.)
Congratulations on the Guide to Tone Building, really valuable! (Luca F.)
An excellent guide. (Vincenzo S.)
The Tone Building Guide opened up a new world for me especially on EQ, and helped me a lot. (Riccardo P.)
My congratulations about the Tone Building Guide. Good job! (Daniele N.)
I highly recommend this Guide, spectacular... a world opens up to me! (Claudio B.)
I have to say it was very useful along with all the other documents and videos you posted. I took notes as I studied, and learned a lot. The setlist you made with the amplifiers set to flat is also very useful. (Alessandro G.)
