Hi, I just got an HD500X and am still trying to figure it out.
I've been able to create a few patches and work with the HD500X Edit software, although I find the pedal controls and display a bit hard to understand. At this point, I'm having difficulty maintaining even volume on my patches.
Some patches on the HD500X are very quiet. Also, I've been downloading some patches from the CustomTone section, and some play just fine while others are super quiet. I can't figure out how to get more volume out of them. It's like they're trapped inside of a thick-walled box and even if I raise the channel volume on the amp simulator, it doesn't get near as loud as my other patches.
Is there another volume control I don't know about? I've tried toggling on and off some of the FX to see if they're affecting volume but it doesn't seem to fix the loudness.
My Master Volume control is turned all the way up (this was suggested in the paper instructions included with the unit). I try turning up the Channel volume on the amp, but it doesn't help.
I'm in my living room, so I don't need tons of volume, but these are really quiet.
Thanks for your help,
-Graham
