... from Sweetwater. I am such a Gear Hooka Ho........ Former HD500 and HD500X user as well. Still have Tonelab SE and LE, too. HD's are gone pre-Kemper. Liked then fine. My manic bipolar mode is on. :P

Well, I just got my HD500X to replace my soon to be on Ebay HD500. I must say that I am pleased with being able to add 63 Reverb to some dual amp presets I had before that wouldn't even allow me to add ANY reverb! Might be only 20%, but I'm running 8 effect slot fully loaded dual amp patches with any reverb I choose. Now if they would just throw out a token firmware update that added some new toys (particularly amp cabs and mics, maybe an amp or two). I do actually like the new switches. Definitely feel a little more rugged than the other ones when depressed (although I never had a failure on either one of my HD500's in the button department). GLiDE

I"ve got an HD500X on the way, delivered tomorrow. I've had too many tones I've built with dual amps that I just can't shove that Reverb on the tail end of. That extra 20% will hopefully give me that option. If it does, then I won't have to utilize the Sweetwater money back guarantee. Then there will be yet one more HD500 on the used market, most likely FleEbay...

I've used it to control and Eleven Rack, but did not route signal through the HD500.
