=== Quick Guide ===
Use the [[Line 6 Pod HD Quick Guide |Quick Guide]] for brief advice on dialing in a patch. All the subjects are covered in-depth elsewhere. It does not include hookup/setup advice.
=== Guitar Setup ===
The [[Line 6 Pod HD Guitar Setup |Guitar Setup]] page doesn't really deal with the Pod at all but covers some common issues guitarists may have dialing in a high gain sound. Topics include pickups, string gauge, action, intonation, fret buzz, and bridge setup.
=== Pod Setup ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD Pod Setup|Hookup/Setup ]] covers output modes, signal routing, input settings, and physical connections between the unit and other pieces of gear. It explores your options for the gear you have and what the advantages and disadvantages are.
=== Distortion/Amp Tone ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD Distortion/Amp Tone |Distortion/Amp Tone]] starts with a description of distortion types and how a signal's frequency response affects distortion. Then I describe the tone of the high-gain amps and the distortion effects I most commonly use, along with how I like to use them and pitfalls to avoid. I discuss how the Amp DEP's affect tone and how I like to use them.
=== Cab/Mic Tone ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD Cab/Mic Tone|Cabs and Mics ]] covers cab and mic selection, using dual cabs, and the Cab DEP's.
=== EQ ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD EQ |EQ]] Guide starts as a general discussion of EQ'ing a guitar tone. It includes my more detailed breakdown of a guitar tone's frequency spectrum, rather than lumping the frequency spectrum into the terms bass/mid/treble/presence that I find aren't narrow enough and have floating definitions. I break-down the EQ effects included in the Pod HD and how I like to use them, including eliminating fizz.

=== Tips and Pitfalls ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD Tips and Pitfalls|Tips and Tricks ]] - tips for tone matching, evolving patches, setlist organization, effect switching, recording, monitoring, and managing DSP; tricks for using the FX loop for wet/dry or dual output; pitfalls such as bad monitoring, wrong output modes, clipping and gain staging, low volume tweaking, tone outside vs. inside a mix, and relying on others' patches.
=== Troubleshooting ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD Troubleshooting |Troubleshooting]] describes common complaints I've heard on the forums. I offer a quick piece of advice or two, then redirect you to the appropriate section of this guide that describes the issue in detail.
=== FAQ/Links ===
[[Line 6 Pod HD FAQ/Links |FAQ/Links]] has answers to the most common questions I've heard beyond really simple stuff that glancing at the manual would answer. I also post lots of links to reference material, forums, guides, etc.
=== Wishlist ===
The [[Line 6 Pod HD Wishlist|wishlist ]] has all the features I wish the Pod HD had. Hopefully you agree and send Line 6 feedback on this.
