  1. Hey Gavin, Thanks for this as I have been looking for this kind of info. I just got my GT1000 CORE guitar procesor, and want to use the EV-30 (both outputs) into exp 1 and 2 of the CORE. Im just not understanding what it is I can do with the 2 outputs, and how to set the min, max values so I can use both effects. For instance, I want to use min 0-3 to activate my wah, and turn it off when I go back to min 0, but also, if I can use the same pedal for Dive but dont know how to activate it using another value. Its a bit confusing for me but if someone explained what it can do and a concept, I can figure out. I just dont understand the how to..... or what is possible. Any help would be appreciated. Peace
  2. ok, so heres the deal. This may be good for others that are having the same issue. I contacted LINE 6 and pushed me to their request site, to request a better led. What a waste of time that was. So buying something that really does not work for daytime players, was a waste of my money, but I did find a vendor online that offers the high quality anti-glare film that may be the answer to our problems. The site is: https://www.photodon.com/c/LCD-Protective-Films.html . I spoke to a very nice lady and purchased the MXT film, which she said should help the situation. She also said that if that doesn't work, she could devise a custom visor for me. The cost for the film was 16.00 bucks for a .5 inch X 4.5 piece to put over the led display. I will test when I get it and report back. Thanks for your help, and your ideas. More than Line 6 support would offer. They obviously dont care as they sold the item, thats the bottom line. Just dont understand why they would design a high quality trigger like this and you cant use in in the daytime. Makes no sense, or atleast make it adjustable. But it is what it is and I just have to suck it up and deal with it. Thanks again!
  3. NOW WERE TALKING! No! I never even knew it existed. How cool. I will check it out. See, thats all i needed were people to think outside the box. Thanks a bunch
  4. Yeah its rediculous! I had a GT100, I spend my hard earned dollars to buy the POD HD, got the mkII, it was worthless, then the FBV3, then realized its a POS, because you cant see the display AT ALL during daylight hours. So now I cant play live during the day. If i Would have known this, I Never would have purchased either unit. A waste of 800.00 bucks, but Im gonna raise some hell. I feel like I was clearly ripped off!
  5. Thanks again! Well I really like my POD HD PRO. Really dont want to buy another unit. I really like the portability. It would be like me buying another gt100, which I already have. It really sucks, as I have my POD hd set up real nice. I took the patches I have and named them the name of each song. Bank 1a=Song Name, 2a=Song Name,3a=Song name, etc. It all seems great until I play during the day, and cant see the dam display. Im wondering if I can tap electronically off the display and mount a better display! I know it sounds like a major operation, but this is so stupid that this thing cant be seen during the day. What the hell were the developers thinking? Problem is, If I knew it was that way I would never spent almost 300 for that thing. I guess ill look around to see if I can have someone me help program that board you showed me. I like the 2 expression pedals. One for volume and the other for wah.
  6. Thanks bro. I really appreciate your responses. My problem is It seems I am dumb as a box of rocks on how to setup, Especially midi. Im really good with tech stuff, but this has got me totally on my heels. Analogue is easy, just press the pedal and it works, but with technology, it seems very confusing. The board looks great. I have not seen anything that explains what I am doing, and even more complex, is how to set it up for my POD HD PRO X. I am also confused on how I should set it up in regards to whether I set up my setlist (Button 1 - Van Halen Song) (Button 2 - Godzilla) etc. or should I set up A rock tone, and the other switches are effects, like delay, reverb, distortion, etc. CONFUSED LOL NEED SOME HELP Thanks in advance. PS I tried my FBV3 this weekend at a gig for vets, and I couldnt see the display during daylight hours. I paid like 265.00 for this boat anchor, and I couldnt see the songs or the effects, I couldnt even use the tuner. Definitely only good for night shows. Cant use color codes. Seems like its a worthless waste of money. Maybe this unit will be easier?
  7. With such little information out there, I am simply trying to find a footswitch to use with my POD HD PRO X. I purchased the MKII Express, it was a joke. I purchased the FBV3, I cant use it during the day, cause the led display is so low you cant see it. You cant use the color coding rings unless your using it with the spider. Its crazy! I am now considering the FBV MKII shortboard. It looks like the display is better for use during the day. Im just confused. What are those people owning the POD HD PRO X, using for a footswitch with good results? Is there such a thing?
  8. Been searching for anyone who has used the FBV3 in daylight, and how they are using it so they can see the led display. Works great inside, or at night but use this thing is daylight, and forget about it. You cant see anything. Its worthless during daylight hours. Anyone have any solutions or suggestions to this issue? ANY suggestions are appreciated, as I cannot find anyone that has yet to mention how they are using it during daylight hours. Please help if you can. Thanks
  9. Did you figure any ways to use the FBV3 during the day? Tips?
  10. I have had the same issues you are reporting. I have been locked in the looper mode and could not get out, so had to restart. It really sucks when on stage. Also, We just played today and were under shade trees and could not see my songs, then once you get sucked in, there is no way out (RESET) lol. It always works well in the studio, but in the sunlight it is very dim, and totally worthless. That sucks! Have you figured anything out on this issue, especially the display dimness? Hoping so, wait to hear from you. Peace
  11. Yeah you would think this would be a simple thing like a setting. Im reading posts about peeps that cant see the display as well during daylight hours, and trying to find a resolve as you cant see anything. One person said use something as a shade, cause thats what I had to do, but having to do that with a guitar strapped to you is rather difficult. I will try the setting and see what it does do. Let you know if anything changes. Thanks
  12. Thanks for your response Bro! Im an IDIOT! I meant on my FBV3. Sorry, I assume its a control for the fbv3 as well or only the main display on the POD?
  13. This is the third time I have played outside. To spend the kind of money on this product and to have the display totally unreadable (DIM)is a shock to me. There is no light to adjust? Just too bad, use it at night is the response I am seeing around the boards. Do I have to put a blackout curtain around myself on stage? Come on! Any suggestions for those have used it in the daytime? Very disappointing that I cant change cause I cant see. Band members were laughing at the choice I made in POD HD Pro X. Is there anyone that has figured out a way to see the presets during the daytime? Thanks in advance
  14. Thanks for your response. For now, I am just setting up the presets I like for particular songs and naming each after the song name in the setlist. Seems like the most logical thing to do at this junction. As long as I have them listed in the order I play them, im good. I use a program on my ipad, that soon will call the song up by selecting the song and using midi commands. Working on setting that up as well. Setlistmaker and using midi commands. Well see how that works out. Thanks again
  15. What scheme are you using? How do you remember assignments in the presets you use? Perhaps Im just not understanding some ways to do this? Maybe there is a much better way to do it and I am just not understanding those ways? Thanks in advance - tec
  16. Hey guys! Again, trying to understand my newly purchased POD HD PRO X. I am noticing each patch having its own effects are totally inconsistant. Perhaps, I am just missing the boat here. Is there no consistency to the scheme of effect assignments using my FBV3? For example, each preset has a certain effect chain, but the footswitch assignments are completely different, depending on the patch you select. My thinking is that Delay across the board would be assigned to lets say FS2, and distortion to lets say FS3, wah a standard FS switch number, etc. Upon loading different patches, each assignment is different. What confuses me even more is if I am purchasing patches for use, they have different assignments as well. FS1 could be Gate, FS2 distortion, etc. Am I crazy to assume there should be some consistency? Just trying to find an organized way to know what fs #'s to click to add or remove a particular effect, without having a template to show me the different assignments for each patch. PLease school me if I need schooling. Peace
  17. Hey Ronsom, Would you mind explaining the use of your setup. I sure do like the idea of calling up a song in setlist and it will load the corresponding patch on the POD PRO X ? Thanks in advance
  18. Very well explained and completely understood. Thanks for the help. Peace
  19. That makes perfect sense. So you think the jamhub output right to a channel or 2 (Stereo) on the "House" board (PA) would work well enough? I was hearing people talking about splitting the signal somehow and running one output of my POD to the house and the other into the jam hub. I got all confused. lol Thanks for your help with this. tec
  20. Hi guys, as I am learning here I have more questions. Were just 2 guys that tinker on our stage at home. Playing parties and the rest. Too old to gig out anymore but we still like to play for our friends. We use backing tracks to play to with bass and drums on that track. too hard to depend on drummers and bass players to actually "Show up" lol, Anyway, We don't have a board that supports individual monitoring but really are trying to create a way to do (monitor ourselves) that yet run sound to the house so that our PA speakers are producing sound for the listeners in the audience. My friend and I are guitarists. Without buying a mixer that supports individual mixes in our wireless "In Ear" transmitters, its getting confusing. Here is our setup ; I USE POD HD PRO X HE USES GT100 Jamhub Mackie 12 channel mixer (No separate monitor outs) PA CABS, etc. We could run into individual channels on our 12 track mixer and simply adjust the sound and run through the PA cabs, but were trying a new wrinkle (monitoring via wireless "In ear" units) His guitar is always louder and this way we can control our own sound with the jamhub through our "In ears". I can turn him down in my mix, "YES!!!" . We have a Jam Hub Bedroom mixer that supports 5 inputs. What I am wondering is I have the 2 xlrs coming out of the POD HD and would normally run them to individual channels and pan accordingly on the house board, I can only see 2 ways to be able to run that same way, stereo into the jam hub. 1) using the 2 unbalanced outputs on the POD (stereo) into a single stereo converter and into , lets say channel 1 of the jamhub. 2) left and right xlr into channel 1 and 2 creating two panned tracks L&R but using up 2 channels of my 5 available. Also using the headphone out gets confusing cause now there are 2 headphone jacks to deal with. Which is better? With both have guitars input into seperate channels of the jamhub, we take an ipad and run the backing tracks into the aux of the jamhub. Now is where I get lost. Using 2 separate Anleon S2T wireless transmitter "In ear" devices, should I be using the headphone out of each channel on the jamhub to achieve independently mixed sound. Does that sound right to you guys? Then from there, I am assuming I run the totally mixed sound out of the jamhub into 2 separate channels on "the house" board for the audience. But Im thinking if his mix is different from mine, its all getting sent mixed to the PA that way and will sound crappy! I love my stereo sound, so I am confused on how I send one signal to the jamhub, and the other side to the board and maintain the stereo imagery? I know this has gotten confusing but I am hoping you guys may be able to help in my quandry. I am attaching some pics to review. Hoping someone can help me in this setup. Ultimate goal is to be able to hear ourselves and make changes if needbe in our own ear and also send some signal to the board to be used an an overall mix for the audience, using what we have without having to buy a house board. I hear that the JAMHUB is an excellent way to monitor using wireless "in ear" devices. Any help is appreciated Thanks in advance - Tec
  21. I think this is maybe off topic. Ill research outside of this forum, as its more of a process and technique and is very subjective. Thanks anyway. Peace
  22. Thanks for the reply. I understand what "in ears" are. I was wondering what is the best way to use them. I was wondering what outputs I am using typically on a mixer to monitor ourselves via the "In ears". Naturally, I wouldnt use the main outs, but what output signal am I using to go into the "in ear" inputs. Headphone outs? I would also assume that I wouldnt want to use a hot signal. Some low output signal? So used to just using amps, but really want to monitor ourselves via "In Ear's". Thanks in advance
  23. Thanks for the reply. I realized that the POD HD had the assignments in that manual instead of the FBV3. It was right there in front of my eyes, but wasnt expecting it to be there. lol Thanks again!.
