Re: Tones for Rocksmith?

I have Rocksmith and don't have any issues with the latency, but I've been to other people's houses and played the game and notice the latency. I don't have any comments for the tones. To fix the latency you can run your sound through a stereo or surround sound system and not use your tv. This works well for me and is what developer suggests.

Cool! I'm glad everything worked out for you. That Flextone is a nice sounding amp. Hopefully, you'll get years of enjoyment out of it.

Jam on...

Sounded great man! I really like that song. All the instruments sounded strong. I also liked the drum thing at the end. I can't rememeber if the real song ended like that, but yours sounded good. Congrats!

Use the channel volume knob located between the presence and reverb to set your volumes on each patch. Your channel volume is saved in each patch. Your master volume knob is a global setting that applies to all of the patches.

Hey hollis. The sound from the Are You Gonna Go my Way right before the solo. The riff on Love Song right before the vocals come in. And Crazy Horse by Black Label Society.

I found a couple patches on customtone of the Lenny Kravitz song, but they just didn't sound right to me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like you might have to jsut set the channel volume for each patch that you have. When you change patches it doesn't play what the knob says until you start to turn the knob. If you don't have line 6 edit program, I highly suggest using it. It makes the interface a lot more user friendly. You'll need a midi interface to connect to a computer. I suggest the M-audio Uno and so does Line 6.

Turn your volume down to the desired level using the volume knob...not the master. Then save the patch by holding down the patch letter on the amp (A,B,C,D) for 3 seconds.

Hope this as simple as this for a fix. If you're truly having volume swell issues then things get a lot more complicated.

Good luck!

Thanks for the input. I'll play with it more this weekend and hopefully this will set down the right path.

I bought the HD500 about 2 months ago, but unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time to play with it. When I did I mostly played around with the amp settings and tweaking those. Now that my little guy is several months old he is continuously sleeping through the night, and I have time in the evenings to play with the thing.

Anyways, the past several nights I've been trying to make some different patches for some of the songs my band does. I was going in trying to set up a flange patch, chorus patch, and a patch that uses tremolo, While there are multiple effects to chose from for each one of these, they were all kinda specific, off the norm sounding effects. That probably isn't the clear of statements, but I'm having a difficult time trying to dial this in with any desirable results. I mean I would like a patch with a nice sweeping flange sound. Just a basic flange type sound and it seems unachievable. My last amp was a Flextone III XL...RIP. So I am use to having to tweak things the sound to get them right and I could very easily on the Flextone, but with the HD500 is seems like the basic foundation of the effect isn't there. Same with the chorus effects...and there are only 2 of these? Trem didn't sound all that great either, but I didn't spend a lot of time with that. The phaser did sound pretty good.

I'm not a hater or anything. I've been using L6 products for a while. I also have a DT50 and plan on getting a JTV soon. Have I just not spent enough time to learn the in's and out's of these effects on this unit or am I not crazy these effects are simply lacking. It's seems like they working very hard on the amp modeling which I thing sounds great with some tweaking, but the effects are a little lackluster. I recall them changing amp models on a Flextone update, and I just did the new HD update and the new amps sounds great. Do they ever update their effects? Or add new ones? I mean this is an effects pedel right?

Re: Assign Wah to Footswitch and EXP Pedal Toe Switch?

support@line6.com — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:26:15 GMT

You can have a one footswitch trigger multiple effects on/off, but I don't think that you can assign two different controllers to one effect. For myself, I just assign the wah to a toe switch. That way I can start using the expression pedal as soon as it is activated.

The wah will definitely change your sound when turned on. That's kinda what it does. Also, I have looked at this for a while but when I first started setting up my patches I noticed that just inserted the wah into the chain without it activated changed the tone!

Just put on your toe switch. That's how real wah pedals are turned on anyways.

Thanks for the link. Do you recall how much it was?
