Hey all! I've had a Flextone llXL since it came out around 2000. It's been a great amp, but being a guitar player with G.A.S., I constantly have to try the newest thing. I've had the Flex lllXL and the POD XTL. Since I started with the XTL, I've been running direct while using a powered monitor for my 'amp'. (BTW this is basically a Live use question). Anyway, I'm working with this new band. And they don't really see the benefits of running direct and lowering stage volume. I need a lot more volume. The Flextone has the power I'm sure. Enough background. I'm having an issue getting getting a good tone out of the Flextone with the HD500. I'm running into the loop return. The tones just aren't 'right' (for lack of a better word). I've tried all 5 of the the output settings and while they all sound different, none sound right. I was wondering if anyone has some tips about using this particular setup. I'm thinking the best shot would be with the combo front setting, but how to set the eq is an issue I'm not getting. And concerning that, there's been talk on the boards over the years about the pod's not having global eqs. It seems to me if you could get a good sound out of the the combo, or stack front settings, you'd have somewhat of a global eq right there. Any help will more than greatly appreciated! peace
