Greetings all, I have a Duoverb head that I have used for probably 13 years as my primary amp. I am about to purchase a Pod XT Live and was wondering about compatibility. Primarily, I was wanting to know if I could utilize the Midi capabilities of the XTL to control the amp settings on the Duoverb, thereby making my FBV4 pedal unnecessary. This way, I could push on Bank 1, A and it sets the amp and the pedal to their respective settings. Push 1, B and it change both, etc. I know both the head and pedal have midi, its just been way too long since I have gone in depth with midi. Please help me figure out what possibilities I have with this exciting new (to me) combination. Thanks in advance

Was hoping to get some assistance with a problem my Duoverb just started having. I purchased the amp in 2003 (if i remember right). It was during Musicians Friend's closeout of this model, and so I was able to snag it for a great price new. It had a chipset replaced in 05 or 06 under warranty, but other than that it has served me extremely well over the years. Recently I started playing with a new band (first time in many years) and for the last couple months everything has been going great. However the last couple weeks when we get to practice I go to power the amp up all the lights power up like normal. However, there at least every other time the lights stay on and the amp freezes up. Sometimes if the flip the switch rapidly off and it it will jumpstart the amp again, but resetting the amp using A and D preset switches doesn't help any. Is there anything I should be looking into? What may be happening to cause the problem? What do I need to do to fix it? or is this an old enough amp that once it kicks the bucket there's nothing I can really do? Thank everybody in advance for any help.
