Re: How to "NOT" save changes/go back to original preset-HD500

Thanks a lot silverhead Just "experimented" some more....the RECEIVE SELECTED works great to undo my changes (that of course I have not saved).

I also managed to get my presets out of their normal order within the setlist...so the RECEIVE SETLIST put them all back to original order.

How to "NOT" save changes/go back to original preset-HD500

support@line6.com — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:58:24 GMT

I like to (using the Edit software-USB connected to the HD500) go to a basic preset and experiment...add/change an amp, add/change effects, whatever. I do this to learn about the Edit software and HD500's cababilites. After experimenting, I DO NOT want to save the changes and just go back to my original preset. How can I do this??? I don't see an "exit" type button...changing presets then going back does not do it...I still see all my "experimental" changes. There must be an easy way to "not save" my changes and go back to the original preset. Thanks for indulging this "dumb" question!

Re: Tone Killing Output Options for Combo Front & Stack Front...HD500

Wow...I read the entire section, Output Options, and see nothing that would have me "assume" I'm using amp modeling as well. Knob 1, Output mode descriptions are pretty clear to me. I'm still thinking these 3 settings (especially the 2 lows-highs settings...knobs 2 & 4) are "tone killers" for people using combo front/stack front output options because they are using external amps, and have read that section and understand it as I do.

Re: Won't power on - power supply or HD500 issue?

Just measured my power supply output (using a multi-meter) with it NOT attached to the HD500...shows -9.1 volts DC (it's a negative tip...so if the multimeter red lead is in the tip you'll read a negative voltage). The green led is on, but very dimly compared to when it's connected to the HD500. When I unplugged the power supply, the dimly lit led lasted a few seconds, flashed 1/2 bright for just an instant, then went off.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick response response and recommendations Phil. When using an external combo amp, I use HD500 for effects only, and use the combo front output option, using 1/4" mono output. When not using an external combo amp, I use an HD500 amp model, HD500 effects, and use studio direct output option, using XLR direct to the board. That seems to jive with Advanced guide page 2-8, output options. Your answer seems opposite of the directions on page 2-8. I'm a bit confused now.

Re: Is Your Pod 'Cutting Through' Live?

Hey Texxxxx...on the same Output Option screen where the "focus" option is, you'll see options for the lows & highs...factory default is -49 & -50 respectively. Both will KILL your output tone, especially the high being set at -50...no cut through at all. I've set both lows & highs to "flat". Did you check those 2 settings?

Tone Killing Output Options for Combo Front & Stack Front...HD500

support@line6.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:57:07 GMT

When using the Output Options Mode for Combo Front & Stack Front, there are 3 additional options...Focus, Lows, Highs. The factory default setting for the lows is -49, Highs -50. These 2 settings absolutely kill the low and high tone! I've now set both low and high to "flat"...sounds good now. I use the combo front option, using the 1/4" output jack to various combo amps I own. Discovered it when selecting the tuner and it happened to have the "bypass" option 2 selected (default from the factory). I've seen very little discussion about this tone killing default factory setting. The other option, Focus, varies the mid frequency from 100hz-2.5khz. Default is 570Hz. Book says it "increases the overall midrange". Playing with that also affects the mid tone quite a bit...so far I'm leaving it at 570hz. This Focus control may be good for optimizing the mid tone when using various combo amps.

Re: true bypass mode in hd500?

support@line6.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:22:28 GMT

The "bypass" I know of is in the Tuner Mode...option 2 allows a "bypass" or "mute" of the HD500 when the Tuner is selected. (I usually use the "mute" option)

Re: Tap Tempo not sending from HD500 Editor to POD

support@line6.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 04:23:12 GMT

In Setup, page 6, Tempo options, TEMPO sync Global or preset may come into play. I get a bit confused on this too. Hopefully someone can assist.

Re: Urgent!!!--Pod HD 500 Reboot Issues & USB "Not Recognized" Problem

I believe Flash 2.1 is the latest...not sure why you'd want to install 2.0.

Holding down the Left Nav-key while powering up does the Global Settings Reset and seems to be the common way to recover from the dreaded "flahing logo" problem. Have not heard about using the Down Nav-key while powering up...what does that do?

There are recent updates to Monkey and Edit as well.
