Hi everyone. I've had my HD500x for several months and I love it. I run it into a Marshall JTM 45 (which I built) as well as a Deluxe Reverb and I also practice with headphones. I always follow the directions in the POD guide as far as inputs and
outputs. Today when I switched from headphones to the Marshall I forgot to switch the little slide to "Amp" I had to turn down the Master a little. but I love the tone. And I have more control with my Strat's volume control; I have not tried humbuckers yet. I don't hear any clipping. Has anybody else played like this? I can't perceive how it could damage anything.
