  1. Thanks for the reply silverhead! Yep - I have set each of the patches up separately and each one contains the same exact fx. What I'm trying to do is, say, when I'm on my clean sound and decide to switch on my chorus effect, I would like for that chorus effect to stay on when I switch to the dirty sound. It makes sense to me that you wouldn't be able to have that happen...but just wondering if I'm missing some setting that somehow 'latches' the state of an effect from patch to patch if that effect exists patch to patch.
  2. Greetings. I'm using my HD500 as both a midi foot controller and external fx unit for a Kemper Profiler. I'm operating in F5-F8 mode and using all 8 switches to toggle effects within the HD500. I have grown to love the Line6 arsenal of delays, modulations, filters and synths, so piping these effects into the fx loop of the Kemper gets an amazingly diverse set of sounds. I've got HD500 patch changes triggering rig changes in the Kemper fine. My goal is to have sets of clean, dirty and lead guitar tones on the Kemper that share the same set of fx from the HD500. So bank 1, for instance, on the HD500 would look like this: 1A = Clean 1B = Dirty 1C = Lead 1D = Empty So I went about creating an HD500 patch in patch 1A with all of the effects that I want - then I duplicate that patch down to 1B and 1C. What I'm trying to do is have the HD500 act much like a pedalboard would in that I'd be able to switch between guitar tones (clean to dirty to lead) without effecting the status of the fx. So for instance - I'd want to perhaps activate a clean delay sound during a verse and switch my guitar tone to dirty for a chorus while retaining the delay. All of the research and testing that I've done is leading to me to believe that you can't retain fx settings as you switch from patch to patch. It seems like the the HDs are designed for a more planned out approach (i.e., build this tone with this set of fx for this specific purpose)...but you can't really freely and seamlessly use a certain set of fx as you meander through your patches. So just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this that I may be missing? Thanks to you all - looking forward to hearing back.
  3. Late to the discussion but though I'd post this anyway for posterity. I've been working on this as well. I have an HD500 hooked up to a Mesa 5:50 Express head via 4 cable method. The head's speaker out goes into a Mesa CabClone and the output of that goes into a line input on my interface. I've been able to get really great tones that way, though, if I understand correctly, you have to live with a couple of extra digital <--> audio conversions that you don't have if you're just using the amps/cabs in the pod and connecting digitally to the interface or directly from the pod to a computer. But, with a little different gain and EQ approach in the pod signal chain, I've been able to make this method sound great despite the extra conversions. I'm still running some tests and flipping switches so to speak to make sure I understand exactly what's going on in my signal chain...but so far so good.
