ndthorpe1 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Okay guys, I know other threads have been started about this, but I haven't gotten any answers from those, so here's the deal. I'm using a Mesa Boogie M9 Carbine head, and two SWR Goliath II cabinets, with a Yamaha RBX6JM bass. I wanted to use the POD HD500X for effects only. It appears the only way to connect it to the amp is with this "4 cable method," which I have tried. Problem is, all of the knobs on my amp become useless when I do this, like it's just a power amp. Can someone just tell me everything I have to do to get it like this:-complete control of amp head, with Mesa M9 tone-good sounding effects from the POD-plenty loud enough, and I can use the amp head volumeBasically, use the 500x just exclusively for effects, leaving volume and tone without effects to my amp head. Can I do this with an HD500x? If not, what piece of equipment would do this? Basically I just want to have the closest thing to a pedal board without actually getting several different pedals and putting them on the board. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Instead of doing 4cm, have you tried just plugging it in ===> using the old fashioned. Bass to pod - using the 'guitar in' Then the 1/4" unbalanced out of the pod to the input of the M9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
