Re: Volume vs. Master Volume

support@line6.com — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 03:02:46 GMT

This actually does get to the heart of what I was asking. I was thinking that the two volumes were used like on an amp and I was running into all sorts of volume issues never really getting things just right largely because my patches were set to different volumes. I didn't realize that I could use the volume control to set the patch volume and then save it. How's that for a duh moment? Thanks for the help.

Volume vs. Master Volume

Ok, so here's another silly question. I am curious as to how people set up their volume and master volume controls on the HD 500. Do you prefer to keep master volume low and volume high or visa versa, and why. Thanks.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have some experimentation to do with all these ideas. I'll let you know, what I come up with.

How do you boost your volume for leads?

I find that simply using the volume pedal on my HD 500 to increase my volume for solos is a pain because it's inprecise when trying to find the right level going into the solo and coming out of the solo. I'm wondering what methods others use and how they set up their signal chain. For example, I am trying to use another screamer in my signal chain to give a clean boost, but it is not really working. Should it go after or before my screamer pedal that I'm using for overdrive? Does anybody use EQ? I'm just real curious as to how others do this. Thank you.

I just thought of this. I could assign patch into 1A with effects 1-4. Then duplicate it into 1B with effect #5 just turned on. Not assigned to a footswitch. Then I could toggle back and forth between the 2 patch locations.

You'd think they could develop a mind reader...

Thank you.

Yes, this is what I've been doing, but of course there is always an extra effect that I want to toggle...

Thank you for your reply.

Assigning effects to footswitches

support@line6.com — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 14:17:57 GMT

I've created a patch where I have 8 effects that I want to assign to footswitches 1-8. However, if I have the HD 500 configured so that I choose different patches with footswitches 5-8, I cannot access my effects that have been assigned to those footswitches. On the other hand, if I configure the HD 500, so that I can access effects assigned to footswitches 5-8, I can not easily access different patches, if I want to change during the song I am playing. So, my question is, is there a short cut that exists so that I can easily use footswithces 5-8 for both pathes and effects? Thank you in advance for all of your thoughts and ideas.
