Hi all,
Just picked up the POD HD500 in combo with a DT25 Head. Dialed in the sounds I want using the "A B C D" setup.ie. FS5-8 are used for switching between patches. FS1-4 are used for effects on the respective patch.
My question is as follows:
Is there a way to have 3 channels with out effects (ieFS5-7), then have Effects on FS1-4 (where effects are global to all patches)?
ie. If I have delay and chorus turned on it doesn't matter which patch/channel (FS5-7) I select the effects stay on for each patch.
The main issue I have with my patches is that when I switch from patch 1 to patch 2 and then back to patch 1 the effects I had set via the foot switch weren't remembered. I know you can use HD Edit to make each effects state to on or off for each patch but this would mean having a truckload of patches to compensate for our 150-200 odd songs we have in our repertoire for gigging.
Any input greatly appreciated. I gig 2-3 times a week and want to nail the POD/DT setup first b4 using it live.
Practiced with it last night and it was great going through a Marshall 2 x 12 box. Ultimately it will go through a 4 x 12.
And for anyone wondering if a DT25 is hot enough for gigging the answer is yes, had it on 3 and it easily got over our heavy handed drummer who had bass drum mic'd up and an overhead through the PA . Average gig we play would be to around 200-300 people both indoors and outdoors.
I only mention this because it was one of the questions I had before purchasing and no one could answer it.
So there u go:)
