OK, many thanks! I’ll check out the HX as well. Really appreciate the tips... Mike

Thanks again everyone I’ll be hanging out over in the 500 X forum. Appreciate it! Mike

Thanks for your reply phil_m, I greatly appreciate the info, that is exactly what I needed to know!! A member also answered me about the 500x on the other thread I started about this over in that forum. I have not ruled out the helix yet either. Mike

Thanks codamedia, I appreciate the info! Also looking at Fractal FX-8, and the 6 Helix. These all seems to be in line with what I need to do at this time, and as stated the important step is relegating my existing board to a backup whether by duplication or replacement with something else superior. I cannot afford to be shut down for performance failures due to lack of a backup plan in place. Thanks pianoguy, your opinions are duly noted, and I appreciate you spending the time on my post. Mike

Fair enough. Keep in mind I don't own of of these yet so that's why I am here. In other words, the firehawk has 12 footswitches if I am correct. Can I assign a different stomp pedal to all switches, thereby using this unit as a pedalboard out to an amp? IE - FS1 is compressor, FS2 is maybe light distortion, "A" might be digital reverb, "B" a chorus, on and on. Thanks!

HI all, thought I would jump in to confirm this from what I have read - - Is it possible to assign all of the FS buttons to a different stomp, thereby making a "glorified" 8 or 10 pedal pedalboard only? This would be for mostly live use through an amp, and will replace an existing pedal board with about 5 pedals on it. That pedalboard will become my backup. When I get called many times I need more versatility (as in more pedal "types") and don't really want to be carrying around 10+ pedals on a board. So, would use the firehawk or 500x as the main board per se. Thanks for your patience if this has been asked already! (Side note - - If you are wondering, if I need modeling I use an eleven rack for recording etc. I am posting this in the HD500x as well since that is on my consideration list also.) Mike

Thanks pianoguy. Sounds like I need to clarify. I want to use this in (mostly) live situations to replace a pedalboard that has 5 pedals on it. That current 5 pedal board would become my backup. At times I could use more pedal "types", and don't want to get into a 10+ pedal setup. So, a multi just might do it. As far as money, my gear has to accommodate a wide variety of situations and be on the ready when I get called. And that is why I am considering this or perhaps a firehawk. I appreciate the help!

Hi, I think I found that I can do this, however thought I would jump in to confirm. Is it possible to assign all of the FS buttons to a different stomp, thereby making a "glorified" 8 pedal pedalboard only? I am posting this in the firehawk as well since that is on my consideration list also. Thanks for your patience if this has been asked already! (If you are wondering, I have a pedalboard now and if I need modeling I use an eleven rack for recording etc.) Mike
