So long story short. I am one of those mad muse fans that like to buy the gear and work out the tones. However, in recent years ive decided to scale back the the factory of effects in my room back down to my favorite tour setup of bellamys. one tone i have never managed to fully replicate is in the song time is running out, a little bridge played at 2:49 in this clip and at 2:35 in the next clip. So the kit used was all line 6 pro racks at the time in this set up... so whilst you have the tone, i want to mention a few things. we can establish a couple things about the setup and some that cant be without tech notes. now I have a feeling that 1 section of the racks above or below the bottom Midi solution T8 is run in the series loop because if you listen to the tone in the specified section, the effect is 100% of the tone. the other section of rack is believed to be going straight to the desk as matt seems to always run DI with parts of his rig on every tour. if this is true i suspect the XT pro section is the one going DI as it has the digital version of the Diezel vh4 within the expansion. however i could be wrong on that too. I would like to point out a couple things around this tone before anyone delves into it what effects might be used. the main thing i notice about the tone is as the bridge section starts he usually strikes the strings which has some sort of filter/wah/lazer type sound to it. On top of that there is an obvious phase/sweep to the tone(ive tried phasers, flangers, chrouses.. and still not close). whatever it is, it seems to swallow the whole guitar tone and after scrolling through countless effects i cannot find anything even close. any help regarding signal path, effects suggestions would be greatly appreciated. below are some more videos with different audio qualities of the same effect

Hi guys, firstly this is my first post on the forum so i hope ive aimed it at the right section. Now what im trying to do is use the podhd500x to its full potential, aside fromt he effects and tones im trying to use its midi capabilities to full use as well. so somewhere in the settings you can assign each footswitch with a MIDI CC or PC command. for the top four switches i have assigned to turn on or off my line 6 echo,mod,filter pro and the 4th switch is assigned to a clavia nord modular G2 for turning on a clock sequencer( MUSE's map of the problematic, if anyones wondering why). But my main problem starts with the LOOPER switch on the 500x, I want to use it to turn on/off my whammy. the problem is after i reassign the foot switch the looper still activates making it hard to save in on mode and use the lower foot switches as I/A switches. Anyone else tried to reassign this foot switch and had the same problem? i know its not a midi controller but if you are going to give a product such power it might as well be used.
