Thank you Merlin... the problem is solved. It was the setup issue. I set the input 2 to "same" and the problem is solved. I should have checked that earlier. Thanks once again.

I wrote the same thing in your other identical post in case you are only coming back to only one of them.

I suggest to simply do the following...which I have written in my Start-Up guide for the POD HD500 posted on the main POD HD group page if you wish to read it...

Try plugging in a pair of headphones and see if you hear the same result when shutting off Amp A or Amp B. If you hear both amps in the headphones but not through your amp - then either try what has been already suggested to sum/mono your dual amp signal, or perhaps - with headphones on, try going point by point with all FX off (preferably take all FX out and leave only the two amps just for this testing process. No need to save until you find where the routing problem lies and you correct it. Then put back the FX - check your patch again to see it is still working as you expect, then save that patch and go onto any other patches from there.
With just the two amps in your signal chain try doing one on, one off and hopefully you'll be able to rack down where the signal path is getting sent and why. Off = A On = B - & vice-versa and see how it sounds in the headphones.
If you are still hearing only Amp A only and not amp B when Amp B is alone...then it's probably a setup issue most likely found within the 10 main pages found when holding down the View button on the unit.
This is my first guess to the cause of your problem...Do you have your amps not only on the mixer, but in the AUDIO OUT control section set to Left/Right, or to something else like Amp 1 = Amp A, just Left, etc.?

I hope this helps and you get your signals running the way you want them.

Take care,

Neal

Hi,

Its been about 2 months that I bought my HD 500 and I have noticed that the amps on the dual amp setup doesn't sound the same when I turn one of them off. I had setup 2 treadplates and I wanted to check the sound of both of the amps individually so I turned amp A off, but then when I try to edit the sound of amp B there is no Drive even when I turn the drive knob all the way to 100. Is this normal? or is there something I am not doing it right? But when I turn off amp B, I get the the full sound of amp A. Also I have put the pan L and R to 0 in the mixer for both the amps. Please help.. I want to know if this is an issue with the unit, or if its me.
