additional question, I succeeded to use the HD500X as midicontroller but what I miss is the footswitch lights... for example when I define 1 switch to toggle the boost on/off, it would be good to see if the boost is active or not. Is this possible? or is led activity not possible when using the HD500X as midi controller?

just bought a Catalyst CX 100 to start practicing again and have some gigs in a few months. In the past I played with a Pod HD500x and Fender Deville I presume that the sound quality of the Catalyst CX is a lot better compared to the HD500x but as I mainly play medleys of different genres, I have to be able to switch amps from clean to grunge or metal and be able to control the volume while playing. what would be the best option 1. connect the guitar to the POD HD500x and use the catalyst as a powercab 2. connect the guitar to the catalyst and use the pod HD500x as a midi controller 3. or is it possible to do both? connect the guitar to the POD HD500x and create some presets with some distortion or other effects but without amp/cab, and at the same time, use the POD HD500x as a midicontroller to switch amps on the catalyst, control the boost and the amp effects ,... Or will the POD HD500x detoriate the sound quality? which option would you prefer? I never worked with midi, is this easy to define? do I need a PC midi adapter or can I just connect my laptop to the catalyst via USB and define in the app all the midi commands from the POD HD500x? thnx for the feedback Wim

thnx for the feedback but this doesn't answer the question ;-) my question: can I use the Line6 Sonic Port interface with Amplitube iOS app anyone? Thnx Wim

Hi does anyone knows if Sonic Port can be used with Amplitube? I'm doing some research before buying the Sonic Port or the iRig HD. They are about the same price, I prefer the Sonic Port because it comes with free software and possibility to share settings but I have already the Amplitube software with some extra options... can't find this info thnx for the feedback Wim
