the floor units are commonly used on stage, where dynamic mics are king, and phantom power is not needed

I use the loop pretty regularly. I drop in a muted string to act like percussion to give a click track, or I put in a chord progression to noodle over while I'm on stage. Normally 48 seconds is more than enough. For example, tomorrow I'm playing a church where I need to run the same banjo progression for 10 minutes, it cramps my hand up, so I'll loop it and relax.

Note that my attached patch is jtv variax specific - it's looking for the variax input. If you're not using a JTV than you'll need to adjust. In any case you should adjust the eq for your sound system. I'm running through a church PA so my sound guy tells me what needs to be adjusted from his viewpoint

It's basically plumbing. Follow the signal chain until it stops working. You're getting the tuner so you know the connection from guitar to pod input is working.

Guitar to pod input. The pod input can be set up to only accept variax, or 1/4 or aux. make sure in the setup page of the pod.

Pod signal chain set up correctly? If you have an effect loop in your chain it needs to be connected (if the loop is there but nothing plugged in, your signal will never get through).

Pod mixer set up correctly. If you're using the left 1/4 out. Make sure the left channel volume is up.

Also check your right channel.

Ensure the pod is set up to output to amp or line, depending in your setup.

You don't have a headphone adapter, but you can use a regular 1/4 cable into your external amplifier. Should function the same.

The VDI is a digital connection. The variax processing occurs within the variax guitar, not in the outboard processor. If you split your cable, you'll just end up with a useless y cable.

If you want to use 2 amps and 8 effects regardless of configuration, go get an AxeFx II. The unit is $2200, plus another $1000 for the floor board, but you're right...a $500 processor should do exactly the same thing :rolleyes:

Better to submit this as an idea, since L6 doesn't watch this forum.

from Google Translate...

Here's my banjo settings and the HD500 patch for those who are interested. If anyone would like more detail please feel free to ask. 

Note that the graphic is first in the chain, the parametric is second in the chain. It's not set up that way further down, but the chain has the GEQ first.

No worries. We're all learning here

Ethercon = VDI cable. The ends will make it an Ethercon.

I'll pull them out of the board when I get home and drop a screenshot

I'm using an HD500 but the graphic and parametric values may vary for you.

I have the same thing on mine. I put a parametric eq in my mix after a graphic eq. Graphic has 220 lowered down and the parametric has been tweaked with my sound guy to make it sound more natural.

Any ethercon cable will do. I got the line6 one because it was the cheapest I could get in 25 foot length without making my own.

What about assigning the delay to the expression pedal toe switch?

You can then assign the volume pedal on/off to FS4, and let the expression pedal control the volume. 

Push it all the way and you get volume max + delay on. 

If you want only delay but not volume change, tap FS4 off, then your toe switch is delay.

Effectively you're controlling the volume with the exp control and the footswitch, and the delay on/off with the exp switch. Technically two buttons, but it might be functional to what Germany is looking for

The HD Edit software also works on the Mac. I'm running Mavericks as well. 

You connect the HD Pro to your Mac, fire up HD Edit, and load the patches. From there you just send them to the device. Same as in Windows. 

To substances!

Right. I was confused. Thanks for clarifying. You can assign the same FS to control multiple FX, which is what this is. I was thinking you were assigning multiple FS to the same instance of an FX, which can't be done.

My apologies. I'm slightly inebriated with some fairly strong sinus medicine so my words may not be as clear as I mean them to be. I'm a bit floaty right now. 

Are you sure about this? My understanding is that when you use two instances of the same FX, these two instances both appear in the Model panel of the Controllers area. You may select only one of the two instances at a time, and assign a specific FS to only one.

Worked for me. I could assign both to the same footswitch and toggle between them at will. 

Threw a little screen recording of it together. I don't have my device connected, but if you like I can do this with audio and the HD500 attached. 

Seems to work fine on my device. 

Are you looking for something to emulate a flute or what?

I've done this with no problems on both my iphone and ipad. 

I like them as well. In comparison to my Blackheart Handsome Devil, were I to be recording, I would use the Blackheart with a few mics. The HD500 would be an effects platform, only due to the current limitations of digital modeling of tubes. 

It's very good, but it's not perfect. The only thing missing is some of the tube responsiveness. Some but not a lot. It does over 90% of what I need it to do at a gig.

That said, i use the HD500 on stage straight to the PA pretty much weekly and it serves very well. Just looking for a little bit more tube realism.

fantastic. I need to do this. Like, now

I've never noticed this.

Is it a "global" setting? If I turn off the output during tuning, does that stick across all patches and setlists?

strange, that's never happened to me. Sorry I can't be of any help, maybe someone else has experienced this?
