There would be no reason to pan.

If it is just a matter of hearing yourself, you can run direct to the PA for FOH. And use the 1/4" to your amp. Sure, the tone will not be 100% true, but it is just to hear yourself, not for FOH.

That's not exactly what it means. Half the output means that XLR is always left and right. Left is half of the total signal, right is half of the total signal. Use both sides to get a complete signal. Whereas the 1/4" can be left and right or both left and right.

of course. lots of people do it. The one thing to remember is to use a dummy plug in the other 1/4", otherwise it runs mono.

left and right. that is all you can do.

Yes, there is a rubber ball underneath the pedal. It keeps the two pieces of metal from going clang clang every time you rock it. Because of the rubber ball (until it gets broken in), it can be a little tough to step. It helps if you are standing when you press, while wearing shoes, and not on a carpeted floor.

What "edit" screen are you talking about?

Yes and No. You don't need to do anything on your device to deauthorize it. But, if you ever get your pod running, once you hook it up, the pack will be removed.

It doesn't "sound thin". You simply designed patches that sound thin. FRFR - Full range, flat response. They are designed to give "true tone". What you put in is what you get out. No personality. Just bland and dull. Very similar to a PA, studio monitor, or keyboard amp. By being "completely" flat, it allows for you to plug a Marshall model into it and sound like a Marshall. And, it allows you to plug a Fender model into it, and sound like a Fender. That's the one mistake that many people make when dealing with modelers - They use a Marshall amp/cab/speaker, and then get upset when their Fender model doesn't sound like a Fender. Of course not, it is going to sound like a Marshall because it is coming out of a Marshall, but it is going to sound like a jumbled mess because you are plugging a Fender into it. Even using an amp that gets mic'd instead of going direct --- these models have already been mic'd. You are putting a mic on a mic'd sound.. Modelers aren't going to give you a guitar amp sound. They are going to give you the PA sound, or the "Album Sound". **The Full Range part simply means that you can plug in a guitar or bass or piccolo or,,,, basically, any note on the spectrum, without worry of damaging the cone.

Ok. See ya. Bye.

1. it is possible. 1a. you can put it anywhere you'd like depending on the tone you are looking for. 2. you can put it anywhere you'd like depending on the tone you are looking for.

I don't make "art". I make money. Artists die alone and penniless. And the one thing that the "pros" have that you don't, is a dedicated gear team. They have people maintain the gear. They have people move the gear. They have people setting up the gear. They have people out testing new gear. They even have people who manipulate the gear to be different than it was (whether it be modifying, or studio magic). Oh, and, also, Steve Vai uses a modeler. But he also has a line of amps he needs to promote, so he runs the modeler through the amp.

If, by balanced, you mean XLR --- there are wireless systems that use an XLR jack. That's how they do microphones. But now a question for you --- What does that have to do with Pod HD?

step 1 download his axe patch step 2 manually translate it to the helix step 3 make adjustments as needed

Which, for some people, isn't a problem. But, for me, every time I close my browser, cookies get cleared. >>>I am a bit paranoid about security/privacy.

But has it been re-updated? If not, try it. Install the latest firmware, even if you already have it.

Aren't there like 5 different owner's manuals. Some dedicated just to models. Just make sure you are downloading the latest versions.

and used a "used" Helix can be had for $900, so you are still $500 apart.

Well, the main thing you said is "no 4cm", which means you are going to run them in one single straight line. Guitar to Guitar In. Unbalanced Out of Pod to Guitar In of the 2nd Pod. Then you choose what output is going to whatever sort of amplification you have. And in each patch you make, the amps should be the last thing of the first Pod.

500 for a 500, plus 500 for a second 500. total of 1000. 1500 for one helix. While the tone that comes from the Helix may or may not be worth 3x the price of one 500, you do get the ability add many more fx blocks and have man more routing options. So, if you are someone that needs more than one 500, the Helix is a much better option.

that's what the owner's manual is for. There's like 5 of them. Make sure you got them all.

Try taking one on a plane. When you are in Texas, but the show you produced is touring in France, and their gear takes a dive, and they call you and say "can you send the exact settings used for the 40 songs we are playing" --- try sending them 40 different rigs in 2 hours. Hey, I've said numerous times --- If I was still playing in "one band" and needed one "band sound", I don't know if I would have switched to digital. But, I no longer play in a one band, nor can I live with one tone.

You're using a headphone jack into an input jack?

Think of it like math - the final answer is 24 - the sweet spot. You got there by by adding 2+2+2+2+2+2 --- until you got to 24. If you make one of those 2's a 3, the final answer is no longer 24. No longer sounding good. That doesn't mean that you can't take a one of those other 2's and change it to 1 to make equal 24 again. 8+8+8 is 24. Still going to rock your face off because it is "24". Now, put it in terms of your rig. Change one thing, and it no longer gets the same result. But, yes, you can change other things to make it sound good again. So, go ahead, use an amp with a power amp, set to power amp - you can make it work. But it won't sound the same as when you go use an amp going direct when set to power amp.

Yes. Hard left. Hard right. You can also set up dual paths for when you need both. The one thing that you need to watch, is to make sure that you do not use any effects that will sum to mono. The expert answers are beyond my usage. I can just answer the basics.
