nico, after each "null" amp block the signal sums up 2 mono.

so, in pictue 2 abv, regardless if input2=zero, path b is still fed with unprocessed guitar signal.

however, things would be different if the amp block was placed after the mixer (c attached pic).

u can find many more if u search 4 "hd500 acoustic" videos...

Of course u can use a real acoustic, or even a JTV guitar.

Since u didn't notice much of a boost using the Variax and u are using the volume pedal all the time, then I do not see any other solution than the studio eq or the fx loop.  In either case u must "consume" one FX slot.

Since the HD500 doesn't have a simply clean boost on it without taking an extra slot with an EQ and tweaking that or doing things with the effects loop,

Why don't u use the exp-1/2 to control the amp(s) channel volume(s)?

Set min @say 70% and max @100%, so whenever u need the xtra boost, just hit the toe pos, otherwise use the heel pos.

No slot "consumed", only prerequisite u do not use the exp-1/2 as wah.

Also consult the "MasterPuppetSolo" factory preset on the HD500.

"I also have problems with the volume, it does not settle in Exp-1 could help me?"

1st picture: tube drive applied over BOTH paths

2nd picture: tube drive applied ONLY over path A, path B carries pure guitar signal.

Never mind.

Here is n other one of our Zep covers.

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/n0xqnq1flaf7qdv/The+Pure-Ages+Rock+and+Roll+cover.mp3

This one was recorded with a 1968 tele and a Fender Prosonic custom shop combo.

Sorry abt that.

Should I change & post another cover?

Solo is INTENTIONALLY interpreted this way, just to differentiate.  Hear carefully, I reassure u it is absolutely "metronomed".

@StairwayToHeaven:

Check out our last cover bearing ur name:

Guitar solo part recorded with JTV69s+HD500.

If u use only one XLR, u must place a noise gate as the last FX in the chain in order to sum up to mono, otherwise u will lose one part of the signal.
Set the noise gate @100/0 (leaves the tone "untouched").

ps

Alternatively, try using HD500 left XLR to line input AND HD500 right XLR to  to mic input, as GTLazer suggested. In this case u get full signal L+R, so u do not need the abv stated noise gate.

Also make sure NOT to turn ur volume level at 0, cause it forces the JTV in2 sleep mode...

Abstract from Variax Reflash and Software Update Instructions

 

On a James Tyler Variax guitar, ensure that the Volume knob on the guitar is NOT set to the '0' position as it will put the guitar into Power Save Mode. Make sure that the Volume knob is set higher than 0 when updating or editing the JTV guitar.

...and c it on customtone perhaps?

Verify that ur java vm is latest version (I believe latest version is 7 something).

If u want to change model-PUs during playing, u cld implement it via defferent presets on the HD500.

As far as the LOCK setting is concerned, u cld use it in a situation where both signals (ie Variax AND Variax mags) are fed in2 the HD500. In this case the switch+tone effects only the mag sound and not the model sound.

Abstract from "POD HD500 Edit Pilot's Guide v2.0 - English ( Rev A )" page 4-2:

 

*Note: For the Magnetic output mode of the JTV guitar, only the Volume knob Lock functionally “locks
out†the local volume control. The Tone knob and Pickup selector switch will always function locally for the
Magnetic output, regardless of these Local Control - “locked†settings.

I believe it's the CTRL key not the ALT key for copying...

Abstract from the "POD HD500 Edit Pilot's Guide v2.0 - English ( Rev A )" page 6-3:

• Copy & Paste a Preset to a new Channel location: Click on a Preset to select it. Then hold
your Option key (on Mac®) or Ctrl key (on Windows®) and click and drag the Preset to the
new desired Channel location. This replaces the Preset in the destination location. (Note that it
is not necessary to hold any modifier key when dragging a Preset between two different Set List
Panels to copy into the new location.)

Yes u can.

However output mode must be either "direct" or "combo/power amp". On the HD500 u cannot have different settings per output jack (1/4 - xlr's).

Proposed configuration with JTV+HD500 as follows:

Connect the JTV via VDI to the HD500 and use only the XLR’s out to the PA for ALL sounds (acoustic + electric) with “Studio direct†output mode.

Run the 1/4 out of the HD500 to  amp’s effects loop return, thus using the amp only as stage monitor.

In case u don't have a JTV, just connect thru the 1/4 guitar input.

Cld u pls attach here a zip file with the JTV+HD500 settings 4 the Kashmir patch?

It seems that u r in2 a "ground loop" symptom.
Does ur "buffered" AB box have a ground lift switch?
c attached img.

Check out this one.

Alternatively, u cld just feed the L output of ur POD to one amp and the R to the other.

In any case, u shld take in2 consideration the ground loop.
