big_vin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi, I have a JTV69 and I'm looking to buy an Hd500x. In anticipation I've already downloaded the editing software for the Hd500x so I'm familiarising myself with way it works. I know i can assign a foot switch to switch FX block in and out of the signal chain and that i can assign more than one FX block to a switch. Does anyone know if its possible to assign a foot switch to change a JTV patch in the same manner? I know that each patch within the Hd500x can have Variax patch assigned to it but it would be very helpful if it were possible to toggle between 2 sounds within an Hd500x patch - e.g. An acoustic and an electric... preferably using the same foot switch to switch in/out multiple fx blocks at the same time. For example if I wanted to play "Pinball Wizard" by The Who, I would need an acoustic sound with quite a lot of compression and a Hi Pass Filter but no 'amp' sound... Then for the chorus it would need and electric sound, different compression, EQ etc., and a 'Hi Watt' or similar... I know i could use the Mag pickups and an acoustic sound on the variax and go between them with the expression pedal but i want to use the modeled sounds. As far as i am aware, the variax changes patches using a MIDI protocol down the VDI cable... I cant see that this would be too difficult to implement with software. I hope i've explained myself - and that i havnt asked a stupid question... Vin Xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandrio Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 no u cannot toggle between 2 different JTV models within a single Hd500x patch, but u can toggle sounds btween different patches. exception: use dual path with variax+variax mags input settings in one single patch path A=variax with ANY amp with CH VOL=0 + BYP VOL=100 path B=variax mags with Higway100 amp with CH VOL=100 + BYP VOL=0 assign both amps 2 a single FS. when both amps r on, only path B will b audible cause CH VOL of channel A is zero. when both amps r off, only path A will b audible cause BYP VOL of channel B is zero. set mixer 100L + 100R 'n adjust relative levels. examine attached demo patch. big_vin_demo_patch.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_vin Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks Jandrio, I suspected as much. Very useful information for a "work 'round" though. Thanks again for taking the time to explain. I appreciate your time in helping me. Maybe I'll suggest my 'idea' on the line6 suggestions site - see if it can be included in any firmware updates. Thanks once again for your help, Vin Xxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmillion Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 VERY clever. Thanks for the tip and sample patch. no u cannot toggle between 2 different JTV models within a single Hd500x patch, but u can toggle sounds btween different patches. exception: use dual path with variax+variax mags input settings in one single patch path A=variax with ANY amp with CH VOL=0 + BYP VOL=100 path B=variax mags with Higway100 amp with CH VOL=100 + BYP VOL=0 assign both amps 2 a single FS. when both amps r on, only path B will b audible cause CH VOL of channel A is zero. when both amps r off, only path A will b audible cause BYP VOL of channel B is zero. set mixer 100L + 100R 'n adjust relative levels. examine attached demo patch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
