POD HD500

support@line6.com — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 19:05:11 GMT

I just purchased a POD HD500 & DT50 amp. There's a bazillion sounds in this thing. I'm looking for a reverse loop, like Hendrix used in "Are You Experienced". The Boomerang Phrase Sampler has it and I'm thinking if it's not a factory preset there may be a way to configure or "mod" a factory preset to mimic or duplicate the effect. An ideas anyone?

I'm thinking about buying the POD HD500. I want to use it as an effects board for a stereo amp configuration. The two amps that I have are a Mesa Boogie Rocket 440 and a custom Fuchs ODS 50. I've downloaded the manual to see how you'd set up the HD500 but it doesn't show you a diagram of where in the signal path the HD500 should go. Should it be between the guitar and the input to the amp or using the send/receive input/output in the amp? Does anyone have recommendations/suggestions?

Re: re: assigning presets to foot switches

Jim,

I asked the same question and never got a response either. I have a 30 Watt Spider IV with the FBV MKII Express pedal. I was able to assign custom presets by pressing the channel button down and holding it until it flashed. Once flashing I could configure the channel to anything I wanted. Once I did it for all 4 channels I got my configurations in. What I'd like to figure out is if I can toggle back and forth from my custom presets and factory defaults. Anyway, hope this helps.

FBV Express MKII Setup

I've recently purchased an FBV Express MKII foot controller with a Spider IV 30 watt amp. I've downloaded all the manuals for both and I don't see instructions on how to program the contoller so that I can have user defined presets. I've watched the video's as well but those are "generic" and don't really walk you through how to configure the presets. Is this possible or am I limited to the default setup that comes from the factory? I'm thinking I need to configure the foot controller via software connected to my MAC but I'm thinking there should be an easier way. How do I get smart on this equipment?
