NucleusX Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 You have the option to either put the POD HD500 in series before, or after your Zoom G5. You also have the option to put the G5 into the HD500's FX Loop but not vice-versa, as the G5 does not have an FX loop. OR, you can split the signal just after the guitar and send to both inputs of the G5 and HD500 with a Y cable and then send your outputs from there into both amps front end input, or fx loop returns in on your amps. There are a few more exotic wiring approaches I could think of but Im not exactly sure of what your trying to achieve signal chain-wise. Keep in mind, you will have trade off's to make in all configurations. Like, where your mono and stereo lines are available for your chain(s).

MIKEY9966 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I would like to put it in the pods effects loops but for some reason it wont work? I have guitar into pod pod fx send to zoom input zoom out put to pod fx return should work?? what would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucleusX Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Yes it should be possible. Guitar Output. > HD500 Input. > HD500 Mono FX Send. > G5 Input. > G5 Stereo Outputs. > HD500 Stereo FX Returns. > HD500 Outputs. > Amps. Then, you must assign an FX block in your HD500 to the FX loop and place it along your HD500's internal chain where you need it. I can imagine in that configuration, its going to be most useful with the FX loop block placed just before, or after the amp(s) or mixer in the HD500. Set all your levels to suit within the FX loop block Send and Return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucleusX Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If you intend on a mono send/return with the G5, then you should be sending the L (mono) send of the HD500 to the G5 input, and the G5 L (mono) output back to the HD500 L (mono) return. If your not getting any output from the HD500 to your amps in this config, then your problem will be somewhere in the internal settings of either G5 or HD500. There are many settings in both that this could be attributed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it up and running sounds good, still trying to rack my head and see if there is a better way, but the zoom has no fx loop. It dose have one xlr output would that working going back into the zoom? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to plug guitar into pod, and the zoom into the aux , now to do this the would have to have some kind of spliter the y cable did not work only one out put would, but 2 of may guitars paper and godin have 2 outputs, one being pizio pick up and, I have heard of a about spliter maybe this would work? But using the fx block for the zoom intowould pretty much be the same thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucleusX Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This configuration is also possible. Mono to 2x Mono Y splitter cable. (no buffering) One end in the guitar, one end to the G5 Input, and the other to the HD500 Input. Stereo G5 Output, to the Aux Input on the HD500. There would not be a need for an FX loop block in this configuration and both the G5 and HD500 should be considered as 2 completely separated signal paths. Magnetic pickups are the prefered type.
