jjulien Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (Pod HD Pro) I'm not sure how this would even be possible but, anyone find a way to have one channel (I don't know maybe in a two amp setup) to have one amp automatically increase the gain while playing? an example of what I'm wondering if can be done is, say one guitarist is strumming clean and another hits the main chord and slowly increases volume of a distorted amp...this thing has so many capabilities I'd thought I'd ask.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't own the HD Pro, not 100% which unit it even is. So I don't know what it can do or how. But the HD500 can do this by assigning the any number of options to the expression pedal. Whether it be Amp Drive or Distortion Drive, or a wet/dry mix, or even as you said, dual amps. The expression pedal allows all points between 0 and 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I do this with the Soldano Crunch model mostly....That model can get just clean enough and level is a little easier to keep in check in transition... Basically, you can use the expression pedal on the whole tone stack (Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, and Channel Volume)...You can even put a noise gate on it and assign the gate threshold in tandem so the gate is effectively off clean and hits the threshold you want when you are saturated...vary the delay mix, whatever...I call these morphing tones and they are about as complicated as it gets to tweak...But pretty darn cool and not too bad after you get under the expression parameter assignment....basically, put the cursor on the amp Block or FX Block and double click move to access the assignment....Some folks prefer to do this thru the Edit application as it is a little easier to see it all...Crossfading two amps is a lot easier to level out, but takes a bit more DSP...lots of options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesteel Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I have a patch created that uses a PAN expression pedal to sweep between 2 amp chains, one clean and one dirty. Have not used it live but it works great and will probably surface in my set at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepiece Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That's pretty smart. I like the way you think. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanilla Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 You don't know what he's thinking. Yeah, use the expression pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
