MikeTicehurst Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi I have started using my HD500 taking a mono output into the front of an amp. I am no longer using the modelled amps, & just using the effects. I noticed that there appeared to be a jump in volume between patches & looking in HD500 Edit I then saw the the "mixer" on some was panned hard left & right & the faders both set at 0db. I have therefore set the right fader to "mute" & set the left fader to 0db & the pan set to "centre" My question is this Have I set this correctly, or should both faders be set to 0db & panned to centre? Or does it make any difference, apart from the increase in volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 You could just use the L/MONO 1/4" output from the Pod to your amp. This sums the signal to mono. Leave the preset settings as they are unless you want to achieve something other than a full, but mono, signal to your amp input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTicehurst Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ok. But do I set both faders at0db & pan them hard left & hard right? If I do anything else with them am I affecting the signal in some way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I would leave them both at 0db and panned Center. Both paths are stereo and need to be panned center if you want to hear any stereo FX. Since you want a mono feed I would let the L/MONO output jack do that job and retain the stereo separation in the preset in case you want it in another circumstance, like going direct to PA sometime.
