Re: POD HD 500 - Spectrum Analyzer for making patches by on 2012-06-11 16: It's not the tool; it's the expertise of the person using it. Someone unskilled at dialing in tones won't suddenly get killer sounds just by using a spectrum analyzer, though it might help avoid the absolute worst buzzy or muddy sounding tones. Someone skilled at dialing in tones, who knows the sound they want and what frequencies to adjust to get it, might use a spectrum analyzer to get to those tones *faster* than they could otherwise, but they still could find those sound without the analyzer. Plus, how would the author selling these patches know what they will sound like with anyone else's guitar(s) and playing technique? It's like people believe patches are somehow magical, like they are something more than what they are: just a list of numbers saying where every dial and option is set.

That's all a patch is, nothing more. It's like paying $10 for 'patches' for a Fender Deluxe, and for your money, you get an emailed Word document that says stuff like: WICKED BLUES TONE - Gain 5, Bass 3, Mids 6, Treble 5 SUPER SHRED METAL - Gain 10, Bass 9, Mids 3, Treble 6 Not a good investment if you ask me. Re: POD HD 500 - Spectrum Analyzer for making patches by on 2012-06-11 17: Hello Fechart, The spectrum analyzer that I use is in the Creamware TripleDAT version 2.53 software; It's a 64-band spectrum analyzer [You can see it in the video below].

I bought that software around 1996; and Creamware filed bankruptcy around 1998; I was told all of the Tech. Guys that worked at Creamware left; and now the company is called Sonic Core (Their website is sonic-core.net). The Creamware TripleDAT 2.53 software only works with old computer systems running Windows 95/98/ME [I am running Windows ME], Creamware hardware [I am using the Creamware TDAT16 PC audio card which connects to a Creamware A16 (AD/DA converter) with 4 fiber-optic cables, and works best with certain PC computer motherboards (I am using a MSI K7 Master MS-6341 motherboard). It would be very difficult finding the old Creamware software and hardware that I use today. I have tried a lot of the free spectrum analyzers available on the internet and none of them display accurate information; They are all useless [At least to me; I wouldn't be able to get any use out of them].

But I can tell you how to test a spectrum analyzer to see if it is as good as the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer that I use; Watch my video below; Specifically watch my Van Halen Eruption audio sample in the video below; Now notice after the first chord (which is A) and the next note that I slide up to. The next 2 notes notice how they pop up on the spectrum analyzer at 187Hz and 208Hz [That is the kind of detail I need to see]; Now, go to my website here: and download ALL of my audio samples [There is a link on my website that allows you to download all of my audio samples in one.zip file]; Now listen to my Van Halen Eruption audio sample through any spectrum analyzer you want and see if it also kicks up at 187Hz and 208Hz like the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer does in my video for my Van Halen Eruption audio sample; I have not found any spectrum analyzers that do. Now in addition to that. I also need each frequency band to have 3-groups of lights (green on the bottom, yellow in the middle, red at the top); And I need each of those groups of lights to have individual lights so I can see exactly how far each frequency goes into the green, yellow, red areas! That is very important; A lot of spectrum analyzers I have found on the internet fade from one color into the next making it very difficult for me to see exactly how high each frequency is going in volume. Another important feature with the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer is that it has 64-individual frequency bands (rather than just 16 or 32) and it displays each of the 64 individual frequencies along the bottom in yellow from 20Hz all the way up to 20kHz; Some spectrum analyzers don't even show you the frequency numbers along the bottom (making it impossible to know what frequency is doing what).
