  1. Hm. Where can I find the input-setting (Guitar / x) or is this declared via the system setup pages and is linked to the active preset if I switch from global to preset?

     

    on the editor, input setting params r located on the upper left corner of the screen (under the tag INPUTS).

  2. BTW: Is there a list of thing which only can be done using the editor?

     

    negative, whatever is doable via editor, is also doable on the unit direct (even the copy/move patch procedures).

    on the contrary, modifying the 10 (or 12) system setup pages is only possible on the unit direct (excluding tempo, input 1/2 settings, variax-jtv settings, midi+L6 link configuration, which r also accessible via edit).

  3. well with 2 hd500's, the possible combinations r really countless...
    conventionally, guitar is feeding Unit1, Unit2 is connected via FX LOOP and output is thru Unit1 L+R outs.

    however combining Unit1 L + Unit 2 L is also possible.

    in extreme situations, where FOUR channels r available in the mixing console, using BOTH Unit1 L+R AND Unit 2 L+R, one can even have a QUAD signal, with 15 FX blocks + 4 amps :o

    in the attached setlist, u can explore some of them.
    Unit1 represents the 1st hd500, which accepts the guitar input.
    Unit2 represents the 2nd hd500.


    EXAMPLE 1: 3 amps with 15 FX blocks (patches 01A+01B)
    guitar in Unit1, pathA1 with 1 amp+ 7 FX
    Unit1 LOOP.SEND--> Unit2 guitar input, possible twin amp patch, total 8 FX--->
                                -->  Unit2.L+R 1/4 outs-->Unit1 LOOP.RCV L+R
    get final outputs from: Unit1 1/4 Left+Right (stereo signal)
    With this example u have a 3 amps arrangement with 15 FX blocks.

    EXAMPLE 2: 4 amps with 15 FX blocks (patches 02A+02B)
    guitar in Unit1, twin  amps + 7 FX
    Unit1 LOOP.SEND--> Unit2 guitar input, twin  amps + 8 FX
    get final outputs from:  Unit1 1/4 Left (mono signal with 2 amps)
                                        Unit2 1/4 Left (mono signal with 2 amps)
    With this example u have a 4 amps arrangement with 15 FX blocks.

    EXAMPLE 3: twin amps with 15 FX blocks (patches 03A+03B)
    guitar in Unit1, twin  amps + 7 FX
    Unit1 LOOP.SEND--> Unit2 guitar input, no  amp + 8 FX -->
                                --> Unit2.L+R 1/4 outs-->Unit1 LOOP.RCV L+R
    get final outputs from: Unit1 1/4 Left+Right (stereo signal)
    With this example u have a twin amps arrangement with 15 FX blocks.

    Unit2 offers 8 FX blocks in front of AMP1 (PRE-POSITION).
    Moving the FX LOOP, u can position the 8 FX blocks of Unit2 POST AMP1, or POST MIXER.

    hope i gave u some possible arrangements, further improvisation is up 2 u

    consult also foll link:

    note that FX LOOP [SEND-RETURN-MIX]settings must b arranged accordingly (not as shown in the examples).

    ps
    i'll gladly bow to superior knowledge, here, if anyone's got it, but it seems that 3 or 4 amps arrangement is only feasible via twin hd500's and not helix.
    but again  i'll quite happily be wrong :)

  4. ...How do I get a mono signal from both left and right 1/4 outs on the pod? Any way to do this?

    place a noise gate (decay=100%, thresh=0%) last FX in the signal chain.

    then both L+R outputs carry the same mono signal

  5. nice job!

    in any case the triple price is not justified by even slightly better sound.... :angry:

    this cld possibly happen in the future, after severe price drops... :unsure:

    it seems that the hd has acquired  a hard to overcome competitor:  the hd:   :D
