Re: Fuzz Factory with Pod HD500?

support@line6.com — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:03:07 GMT

I own a Fuzz Factory and can confirm that it will pretty much only work as the first device in the chain before the Pod. It won't work in the effects loop, not even a little bit

Ok, I know it's an old thread, but this is EXACTLY what I need - a third footswitch mode that moves preset selection to the back row. I find it hard to program patches that require all 8 without running out of DSP, and I'm forever hitting the wrong FS when aiming for the back row of footswitches.

Just found this post on the Zvex forums.

The HD500 has an impedance of 1Meg so I guess that's the problem. Thanks for your help folks!

Yeah, running off a battery. It all works fine inline between guitar and Pod, just not in the loop, which is a shame because I was hoping to use one f/switch to turn the fuzz factory off and others on.

Thanks for the response Jim.

I've been into the global settings and set Trails to off, but the return feed is still active!! No noise when using a loopback cable, but if I switch the FX Loop off and remove the loopback from the send I can generate noise by touching the end of the cable.

UPDATE: While I've been typing this, I tried disconnecting the USB cable, restarting the Pod and bingo, the Trails setting remained and return feed is not live any longer.. It's not the first time I've experienced strange behaviour with the unit connected to HD Edit. Not saving the channel volume correctly is the usual one - I have to do it manually on the unit for it to work correctly. Rubbish.

Ok, so that's the noise problem when the FX Loop is off sorted. Thanks Jim. However, the pedal still doesn't work as well as expected. I think it's maybe just the pedal that doesn't like the loop, but I can't understand why.

After further testing, I'm sure something isn't right.

If the FX Loop effect block is switched off, and the Fuzz Factory is switched on, the hiss is incredible. Turning the pedal off silences it.

How come there is any noise at all if the FX Loop is off?! Surely the send and returns are muted and shouldn't contribute anything to the sound?!

Hi,

I've just acquired a Zombii Fuzz Factory clone, which I want to use in the effects loop. It sounds great when inserted between the guitar and HD500 (ie not in the loop), but putting it in the loop just makes it really noisy (primarily hiss) and impossible to get the oscillation effects.

I've got the switch on the back set to stomp, and the FX LOOP block is the first device in the chain with 0db both in and out, and mix at 100%

Is anyone else using the FF in the loop successfully?

Ta,

Bod.

Yes, that's my understanding too. Thanks Zap.

Just one more thing, is it possible to transfer my PF2.5 license when I sell the X3?

I really hope we have some news on an HD Pod Farm soon...

Hi,

I took advantage of the Pod Farm free offer back in September '09, then paid for the upgrade to version 2 when it was released. This was registered against my X3 Live.

I now wish to sell the X3 Live as I've bought the HD500, and I'll probably transfer the license to my Toneport UX1 (which has the triple pack and bass expansion model packs), so I can continue to use PF.

Am I correct in thinking that I'll be missing some of the models when I transfer?

Cheers,

Bod.

So what control does the expression pedal offer with those devices?
