    I play a Mustang III sometimes just because someone lends me one and didn't recall it. The amp itself sounds lame to me overall (cabinet or speaker?) and I would only use it as a on stage monitor or home practice but it gets better if connected to a FOH System or good active FRFR monitor. It is a nice product to get quick and useable tones out of the box, but the POD has much more to offer. If you really want to use the POD go and get a FRFR monitor, ask your Boss for two weeks of holidays and read this guide http://foobazaar.com/podhd/toneGuide/

    Honestly I don't like the typical high-gain tone of ENGL, but I do love the crunch.However… my friend was relying on the following informations I send to him. We are both pretty sure the FCB1010 is sending PCs via the pedals.

    Strumming with my fingers instead of a plek offers the best tone in my opinion.

    Update: No needs for further investigations. My friend bought a old and cheap Boss GT-6 which should fit his simple needs for Noisegate, Tuner and a little bit of room and delay. The GT-6 sends PC commands right as the formally used Behringer FCB1010 does, so everything should work fine. Thank you very much!

    Good new. I talked to my bandmate and he could describe the way the Amp channel switches are stored in the ENGL Z7 Midi interface. He pushes the edit-button, does a click on the Midi-foot switch and adjusts the amp Chanel settings, so after storing this all relationships are sampled in the Midi-Interface. To me it seems like the Z7 is "learning" the incoming Midi program changes. So it should be possible, to simulate the part of clicking on the Midi-foot switch, by switching up or down into the POD Xt / X3 Preset, which should finally be used in this scenario. Re-pushing the footswitch of the Preset might work either. Does that sound valid somehow?

    M13 could be an alternative. It seems to offer 48 individual MIDI-Sends (one per scene). I will take a look at the M5 and M9, too. Interesting... "the M5 sends only program change # from 1 to 24, so what i did was to make a setlist and name each song / patch on the M5 and assign the appropiate midi patch # to each rig on the kemper in browse mode." https://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/index.php/Thread/20025-Line6-M5-as-KPA-midi-foot-controller/ But how can I find out, if the 24 possible changes can be assigned individual or does patch 11 generates the fixed change #11, patch 12 leads to #12 etc. There is no explanation in any of the manuals, except the m13 Another similar case http://line6.com/support/topic/9058-m5-midi-help/

    No re-writes. Now I have to find out if the ENGL MIDI-Interface receives the 4 channel programm-changes on 0-3 or 1-4

    What is a friend? A follower?! At the moment the HD500 seems to be the better value but I am going to investigate in the routing possibilities of the Engl MIDI-Interface called Z-7. Maybe this unite can re-write in logical patterns like (Midi / Ampchanel) 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-1, 6-2, 7-3, 8-4, or something freely adjustable like 1-2, 2-2, 3-1, 4-3, 5-4 I will get back to you after reading those lollipop manual :ph34r:

    This should answer my question… Source: http://de.line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/55422/ Another helpful thread: http://de.line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/1879/

    @Nico: This table shows the commands to switch the POD Xt and does not explains how to send a MIDI-command per patch, doesn´t it? @rd2rk: The "E660 Savage Spezial Edition" has a external proprietary MIDI-Interface called Z-7. This interface converts standard MIDI-changes to channel-switches Hopefully I can find a Xt-User who has some experience with sending MIDI-program changes so I will not recommend a bad solution to my bandmate. Thank you all :)

    ... here http://line6.com/support/topic/26914-floarboard-searching-for-a-minimal-solution-midi-send-noisegate/ Please excuse this hi jacking but I am sure otherwise I don't reach Xt users to solve my last questions.
  12. Smashcraaft
    Is there a need for the 4CM in my construction? The tone should be still come from the Engl (Preamp and Amplification) and only Noisegate and some effects should be routed into the effects-send/return. I am a little bit confused at the moment.
  13. Smashcraaft
    Sounds good. Sending a simple Omni-chanel program-change via MIDI should be no wizardry, because this is the simplest way to use MIDI at all, I guess. But maybe a Xt-user or super wise-man can give me some confirmation?
  14. Smashcraaft
    Again I like to thank you for your research! In that thread it is a little bit unclear for me if the Xt Live can send a simple MIDI-program-change-value because the overall setup seems to be a little bit different. The ENGL E660 Savage SE switches chanels via a little external box called "MIDI INTERFACE Z-7". It offers the possibility of selective control on 8 POLY channels or alternatively, the reception of all MIDI program changes from 01 to 100 via OMNI mode. So from my understanding there is no need for a THROUGH-port or a external foot-controller because the Xt Live should send the change per patch. I think I have to go into the details by reading the Xt-manual and/or trying the Software-Editor.
  15. Smashcraaft
    Thank you. The regular gate should be fine as long as its quality is similar to the one in the HD500. Does the XT Live has MIDI-Send per patch?
  16. Smashcraaft
    Hi. One of my bandmates is searching for a minimal-solution to get his ENGL E660 Savage SE noiseless, which produces a lot of noise in HighGain. The ENGL E660 Savage SE has a MIDI-Switch which allows to switch up to 4 chanels. The Floarboard would be connected to the effect-send/return of the amp. The budget device we are searching for should offer… MIDI-Send to switch the 4 amp chanels min. 4 footswitches for direct choice of 4 patches / chanels a descent Noisegate a descent Delay / Reverb maybe a Tuner Which L6 Device would be the way to go in your opinion? The POD XT Live, the M9 or something completely different?

    Do you start higher or lower on a JTV-59

    Yes, monkey is th way to go first.

    My China made V600 is a very nice and well made instrument. Got a JTV59 too and like it also but it is very heavy and the neck feels like a baseball bat. For your back I would suggest something like this strap https://www.thomann.de/de/gibson_gitarrengurt_mit_logo.htm Very comfortable! But of cause a Gibson branded strap on a Fender stlyle guitar may disturb you ;)

    Please try all possible USB-ports on your iMac because only the primary will work It is necessary that you have a Line6 account and you are logged in into the monkey. If you download HD edit manually be sure to get the latest version. If you are not able to install the Monkey everything else won't work, too. Does the Mac Mini officially run the OS-X 10.10 or is there a hack applied? I would suggest to install the latest JAVA version possible.

    For me the Variax integration is there true "unique selling point", to differ from other manufacturers. It is hard work to get this technology to the vintage loving GP, but it is worth it. Not one of the players I personally know get in touch with a Variax or get into the technology and possibilities. But all are shocked if they get a demonstration. The only thing that keeps them from buying is the fact, that most of them are not computer-guys at all and they are afraid of the technology (meanwhile managing the most complex paddle-boards or rigs ever seen). We all have to do some apostles work day by day, to expand the interest and believe in this technology.

    Stell alle Potis auf Null und drehe den Master auf Maximum nachdem du deine Klampfe angeschlossen hast. Wenn die Potis der virtuellen Amos auf Null stehen, haben diese einen Toleranzbereich und verstellen sich nicht von selbst. Besser wäre natürlich ein virtueller Poti-Blocker aber ich würde nicht mit einem Update der Firmware für den POD rechnen :/

    I like to buy the content of your rubbish bin. Maybe we can make a deal, if you are in Germany? SchumiD sounds very german.
  25. Smashcraaft
    Maybe I did not express myself right: I know the right values because of a calculation sheet but it seems, that the korean factory of Line 6 do not know their stuff (or L6 their specs). It's my intention to compare the values to find about if it differs from guitar to guitar or just bulk to bulk. More on this in this thread…
