Jaimo63 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was told by the sales rep that sold me my POD HD400 that any effect could be used in any of the FX "slots". From what I can see, this is not the case. YOu can only use the FX that are assigned to that FX slot. Seems quite limiting to me.... Have I missed something? And if this IS the case, I wonder if a firmware update could add this feature... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Arkadin Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 No. The HD300 and HD400 have fixed effects per slot. The reasons for this are to not to reach the DSP's limits and to keep the model a simpler option for players who don't like to mess around editing too much. If you want any effect in any slot you need the HD500x (or HD/HD ProX). These allow you to assign effects in any slot - but with the caveat that if you use a lot of effects that are particularly DSP hungry you may reach the DSP limit and get a warning message saying as much. You will never get this on the HD400 as the architecture is fixed. There are pros and cons to both approaches. If you just bought this I would take it back and exchange it for the HD500x (assuming you still want a floor unit). I would use the fact that you were missold it as a basis for an exchange.
