Ebusje Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hello everyone, I ran into a problem yesterday. This is my gear setup : Pod HD 500x, L6 into DT25, from DT25 L6 into L2m. I have some effects connected in the effects loop. Newest firmware. If I have a dual amp patch in the Pod, I want amp A (Pre with no cab) to go thru the DT25 only, and amp B (full amp sim with cab) to the L2m only. If I do that in the setup page 9, all the effects blocks after the amps (before and after the mixer) don't work anymore. The effects work when selecting Left or Right in the setup page, but not when selecting Amp A or B. Am I doing something wrong (probably) ? Also it would be nice if I could select a different output (page 4 in setup) to the DT25 (Combo power amp), and the L2m (studio direct).

If you select Left and Right instead of Amp A and Amp B in the setup page, you can have the effects after the amp blocks be sent to the DT25 and L2M. You just need to make sure you have the two tone paths hard panned in the mixer block on the HD500 so you maintain separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebusje Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for the quick response Phil. I used the hard panning, which works, as you mentioned, but I do not understand why it is not working when allocating Amp A or B to a certain amp. Maybe a software issue, or there is a logic explanation why it doesn't work. Also, as I mentioned before, it would be nice to be able to select different output settings for the different amps (hopefully in a future firmware upgrade). The L2m sounds best with the studio/direct setting, and the DT25 sounds best with the output set to Combo power amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The L2m sounds best with the studio/direct setting, and the DT25 sounds best with the output set to Combo power amp. Have another read of the manual. I believe it does explain the difference and it is expected behaviour. It is working as designed. If you select AMP A or AMP B in the L6 link pages then the signal sent to the L6 link attached unit (either DT or L2) will receive the signal taken directly after the AMP module and you do not get the POST path. If you want the POST path then you need to choose LEFT/RIGHT to have it included in the signal sent via L6 Link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
