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.
