LOL If you are using a guitar amp with your "analog" pedals, you DO have a Global EQ. That's what those knobs are for on your amp.

You would be amazed at how many people try to do it the other way --- matching everything to their favorite (usually loudest) patch

The EXP pedal is an EXP pedal. It is not a wah pedal or a volume pedal. If you want the EXP pedal to control something, you need to 1: assign that effect to your patch. 2: assign a parameter of that effect to the EXP pedal.

you could get 2.6 is you want it

This is a user forum. Anything you click is posted by a user. The real L6 links are much easier to find.

If it can be adjusted, it can be controlled by the exp pedal. So, can the throbber or modulator speed be adjusted?

As far as the ground issues ---- the unit, itself, is not a problem. But, in full disclosure, albeit a rarity, the issue is the problem with electrical gear all across the globe.

Yes. You can use 4 outputs. But your left is left and your right is right. Some people want 4 separate outputs, which is not possible. You have 2 lefts and 2 rights. >>>or a left, a right, and a mono.

That is like saying "I like bullets but I hate guns". They kind of go hand in hand. Listen. There are no "rules", just examples that have been tried and testing and are recommended as a good starting point. If you can make it work using the pod going into the front of an amp, good for you. But if you say things like "I can't make it work", then it is time to quit doing what we said won't work and do what we say will. The one thing to remember is -- Sound. And how it changes If you are using an amp when you make your tone, you will need to mic your amp. If you are using an amp to make your tone, if you ever change amps or decide to run direct, you will need to change all of your tones. Whereas, if you run direct to the PA (or recording unit, or FRFR, or etc), your sound will always be your sound.

But I've been buying up used Pods. So, no upgrade for me --- plus, as always, I have a fully functional unit no reason to get something else.

Then really, it just comes down to what others have said - learn to tweak your sounds and settings. It takes time. I was just pointing out that it shouldn't sound the same as your guitar amp sounds because it goes a step beyond.

You totally missed that. When you are in your bedroom playing from a physical amp. You sound a certain way. That is what most MUSICIANS are used to hearing. - the amp sound. When you go to a gig, you play your physical amp. It sounds the same to you on stage as it does in your bedroom. But for the crowd to hear you, you then mic that physical amp and run it through the pa - it sounds a certain way. But a different way then it sounds to you on stage or in your bedroom. This is because the mic and the pa add another dimension to your tone. This is what most LISTENERS commonly hear - the final sound. When using a physical amp, it doesn't matter if it is a live performance or a recorded track, the sound that is heard is never the same as the sound that your hear while actually playing it. Musicians hear the physical amp sound. Everyone everywhere else hear that final sound. The Pod produces that final sound. The sound that paying customers find pleasant, even if it is not what the musician is used to hearing. basically, with the pod, you get the tone of a 100 watt Marshall tube amp burning red hot because it is cranked to 10 so that it produces the sweetest tone, mic'd through a 100,000 watt pa system - but at headphone volume so that you don't wake the baby. When was the last time you played on a 100 watt Marshall tube amp burning red hot because it is cranked to 10 so that it produces the sweetest tone, mic'd through a 100,000 watt pa system --- while you were in the audience to be able to hear what it sounds like from that angle? My guess is never. So, of course, you have no idea what it sounds like.

It's a big tutorial.

That is a good question -- being able to control on/off with a footswitch, and then the actual sweep effect with the exp. Never tried. Someone else will have to answer. Why would you want that though? It is simply one more movement your foot needs to make. I would only ever on/off it when I have a specific wah frequency that I need - such as for a solo. Or maybe when playing Boston.

no fair. what if others wanted to participate. you gave away the answers too soon.

should you decide to shave a bit of the rubber off --- don't do too much. 1. the rubber should soften over time. making it easier to activate. 2. if you take too much off, it will make a ugly metal clank when you try to press it as the metal pedal and medal board bang each other. -- which, again, the rubber will soften with usage, so the noise may not be there today but could be in the future.

lo siento. Español no es mi lengua materna ¿Guarda los cambios antes de cambiar los parches?

then I must be thinking of something else

you didn't specify what unit you had, so I will go with the assumption that it is a 500. First - It is not a wah pedal. It is an expression pedal. Assignable to just about every variable available on the unit. That brings me to --- did you put a wah in your fx chain? If yes, did you assign it to the exp pedal? If no, make it a yes. Next up, for the advanced user - you can assign values other than 0 and 100. Even reverse the values. Also, if you only want a lead boosting wah, and don't intend on using the expression function - you can assign the wah to a footswitch to simply switch it on and off. Most important for the expression pedal - some users complain that the rubber underneath prevents the pedal from being pressed. If you do not see the red/green light switching when you press it - you can either (void the warranty) by shaving some of the rubber off. Or you can put the unit on a hard surface instead of a carpet, and you can use it standing up instead of sitting. This seems silly, but it helps.

You absolutely bought a better product. First thing to remember - Modeling amp vs amp modeler. And the reason you need to know that - The one thing I can say that I have not seen mentioned above (but I may have missed it)... I've found that the Mustang amps... well, really, most modeling amps... they provide a guitar amp sound - aka, what you would normally hear out of a guitar amp. But amp modelers produce an "album ready" sound. - aka, the guitar amp sound that gets mic'd and ran into a mixer and sent to a recorder or pa. So, for most people, all they have ever heard was their guitar through an amp. Hearing the "final product" often sounds odd to them. But other people, and I use myself as an example, have experience with live situations and recording situations, on both the stage and the production sides. So, we are accustomed to hearing that mic'd cab sound and can easily work with it.

isn't there a way to do this manually?

also, download Monkey. Monkey can download/update this stuff for you.

But there are others sources available.

I am not saying that he wasn't a good player. Nor am I saying that his tone did not blend well with the rest of the band. But when you listen to just his part(s) - it sounds nothing like it appears to sound like when mixed with the other parts.

Yeah, some of those youtube "let's analyze just the guitar" videos really shine a light on how unattractive his tone was. Or, well, before I get hate mail... not unattractive, but very different.
