Volume pedal !!!!!!!!

It's for my POD HD500.  Have I chosen the wrong forum ???

 

You can set the volume pedal but sometimes you need to reassign it to Exp 1. Check to see which one it's assigned to first. Don't forget to save your settings change.

 

Check out this part of the manual

There are a couple ways to do that - and yes, you want to be in the HD500 forum.

 

You can set the EXP1 or EXP2 to control volume by defining that parameter in the amp model, but it's not global, so if you change the amp model to another amp in that patch, it will revert back to whatever the default is.

 

HOWEVER, as Brazzy noted, when you plug in a 2nd EXP pedal it will only control EXP-2, by default, so you would need to re-program your patches accordingly. For example, with the single onboard EXP pedal, using both a volume control and wah, you typically use the expression pedal toe-switch to toggle the wah on/off, which then deactivates the volume pedal so you can use the wah.

 

For mine, I use a Mission Line6 expression pedal, and typically turn the wah on off with an FS setting instead of the toe switch.

 

The other method requires using an FX block as a volume pedal. Decide where you want it in the signal chain - I usually place mine post amp model, pre delays and reverbs. I like to do volume swells into delays and hear the delay trails if I kick down the volume pedal. Though that also works before the amp model - but in that slot it can reduce the amp drive gain since it's similar in effect to 'rolling off' your volume knob on a guitar.

I have a line6 exp pedal that I use with in combination with my M13. When I assing the pedal to the volume stomp box of my M13 and calibrate from 0% (heel down) to 100% (too down), the too down will by a second or third too down not reach the 100% any more. Is this a problem of the exp or M13? What can I do?

The pedal is the culprit. There was fix for this by adding a resistor in it somehow to get the value the M13 is looking for, works for the HD500 too. I forget exactly how so I'm going to try to dig it up by searching. I never did the fix 'cause it wasn't that important to me at the time.
