Thanks to all three of you for your replies. It's appreciated. My L2T still hasn't come from Sweetwater yet :angry: , but once it comes, I think I'll get my tones good at house volume, then pay for an hour of studio time right before our rehearsal and tweek them at full volume there. That way, it's my dime and I won't hear anything about it from my band members. Thanks all for giving me a game plan.

I've been usuing the SKB HD500 case for my Digitech RP1000 for the past 3 years (finally just started using my HD500). It has major problems with the zipper pulls. Both came off after a few months and eventually got lost. I replaced them with zip ties. The rest of the case is fine and has held up to a lot of use and abuse with no ill effects to the content inside. Other than the zipper pulls (which may be a deal breaker for you), it has no noticable wear and tear.

Hey people! I'm a die-hard tube amp guy that's finally taking the plunge. I bought my HD500 a couple of years ago, gave it a quick go and decided the learning curve was way too steep and put it in the closet. As age creeps in, I decided that it was time to pay my dues and figure this out, simply due to the fact that my half stack rig and pedalboard was just too heavy to haul around any more on a regular basis. I've spend the past few weeks combing the forums for info, trying to learn the ins and outs of my HD500 and have had decent luck creating new patches with headphones. I have an L2T ordered, so equipment-wise, I should be good to go. My question is, with this FRFR rig I'll soon have, how much is the volume I create my patches with a factor? I do realize the room makes a huge difference in the sound, but there's really no way I can get around that. With my old half stack, house volume couldn't come close to creating the actual sound I'd get with the volume cranked to performance level, so I'd have to do most of my tone tweaking at rehearsal, which doesn't set too well with the other band members when you're paying for the space by the hour. I'm a pedal addict, so this would happen on a regular basis. Is the HD500 ->L2T as sensitive to volume? I'll be able to get pretty loud at home, just not at performance levels. I'm just trying to figure out how many different things I'm going to have to compensate for when constructing my tones. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any chance you could share this with the rest of us? I'm doing the same setup currently with a Digitech RP1000 and would like to switch over to my HD500 but am having similar issues. TIA
