Re: How to use Volume pedal HD500

Yes you are right, I am confusing Master volume with the channel volume. But my point is that when using the x3live it was very usful to be on say bank 1 a, then use the volume pedal to volume down, then switch to bank 1 b and use the volume pedal to volume up as needed. On the HD500 you cant do this because when you switch from bank 1 a to bank 1 b the volume goes to your saved position and not to where the volume pedal is set. So in a live setting you will be on stage and volUme down 1 a then when you switch to 1 b your volume will jump to who knows where!

O.k. ...so how can you set the volume pedal to control volume fx to always be present in the hd500 then?

Hey Silverhead, you misunderstand. Not the Amp Volume Knob, the Global Volume of the entire unit OR Master Volume. You should be able to set the physical volume pedal to control the global volume OR Master Volume of the entire unit just like you could with the X3LIVE. And yes there is something special about the volume pedal, like I stated above you should be able to Control the global volume of the unit just like you could with the X3LIVE. A Volume pedal should be able to control the Master Volume imho?

The best way to predict where the volume of the unit will be when you switch patches would be to look down at the VOLUME PEDAL and see where it is set to physically and not have to rely on remembering where you programmed it to!!

IMHO it is great that you can set the expression pedal to adjust jsut about anything you set it to adjust, but when it is set to VOLUME that is exactly what it should adjust, the overall or Master Volume of the unitn at least!!

If Line6 missed this, I believe it to be a big concern and should be addressed by them.

Thanks for the quick reply.

If your answer is correct, then Line6 has went backwards in this regard because, like I said, on the x3live when you switch from patch to patch the volume pedal on the board and where it is set physically, determines the over all output volume of the unit.

eg: if the pedal is at toe position the volume is full and if it is set to heel it is muted no matter which patch you are on.

Maybe I am just missing something when I program a patch, but for me and the way I use it, this will be a major concern.

Here is how I program X3Live for stage use or live performance.

Channel 1 or song 1

Patch A - Clean

Patch B - Dirty

Patch C - Chunk

Patch D - Lead

and so on....

How to use Volume pedal HD500

support@line6.com — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:35:01 GMT

Hello all,

I am a X3Live user and have up graded to hd500.

When using the x3live, when I switch between patches the volume output allways is set to where the physicall volume pedal is set on the board.

On the hd500, when I switch from one patch to another it always goes back to my last setting.

In other words, when I switch from patch to patch the volume allways goes back to where I last set that patch. I want it to go to where I have the physical pedal set on the board.

So my question is this.

When switching from patch to patch how do I set the patch to go to where the physical voume pedal is on the board and not to the preset or last setting?

Thanks for any help

Line6 should extend the warrenty on the newer ones also as they have all the same problems as the older ones! and add to it extend the warreny on the volume pedal problems also! I was going to get the ner sound system from Line6, but after all the problems with X3 Live I am having second thoughts for sure?

What about the newer versions. I have two with all the same problems and one has been in twice already costing me over $200 so far for the buttons at your repair center!

And both have problems with the volume pedal!!!

I have two of the newer Line6 x3 Lives and still have had lots of the same problems with the foot switches. I really think Line6 droped the ball and have let down their customers on this regard.
