Often when electrolytics go bad, they physically expand in size. For example, the tops of them bulge upwards -- they become domed. So a bad one might not be difficult to spot.

Attaching an example of the dual path arrangement. The amp in the lower path is not active. I found an example for how to do this on YouTube. Posted by Fixer Pete: "HD500X as Guitar & Vocal Processor" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGKJdr6Zlvk For the most part, I copied his layout. I believe I modified my preset, "Big Hall", but not positive about the name.

I also received a response from Ben with Line 6: Yes, you can assign the inputs to either side of the signal path, e.g. input one goes to path A, input 2 to path B. You then pan the paths hard left/right and use the stereo outputs. See section 2-7 of the advanced guide. You will not have stereo put from the guitar or microphone in this setup. https://line6.com/legacy/podhdprox

Thank you! That works.

On my POD HD Pro X with firmware version 2.62, I have "Input 1 Source" set to "Guitar" and "Input 2 Source" set to "Mic". I would like to keep the effects for the guitar as they are but the same effects are being applied to the microphone. How can I keep the microphone effects separate or off so I can use the microphone for vocals? It seems the "Inputs Setup" is the key. The options are "Preset" and "Global". But I cannot figure out how those function. The POD would have to accept two separate signal chains. My POD HD Pro X Edit version is 2.27.0 Is it even possible to prevent the microphone output from being affected by the guitar effects? Thank you!
