SirRis Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So I'm a bit new to this. Got my POD HD500X yesterday and been having fun with it. Problem is I can't get the expression pedal to do swells! I'm using a classic distortion for sustain, reverb and a digi-delay but whenever I hit a note, turn the pedal to toe position, and turn it to heel position (for a new note to hit), the sound also cuts off and it's so frustrating coz I play in a church band. I want to be able to do swells seamlessly. :(Is this normal? Is there any setting I should change to make the sound continuous? Any help is much appreciated!Thanks!

silverhead Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 You might want to change the Min value of the Vol FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palico Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Where you do have the Vol in the effects setup? It needs to be in front of the delay and Verb. Otherwise you cutting those off when you heel down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey_Joe Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Did you calibrate the pedal?

SirRis Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thank you guys for the feedback! Where you do have the Vol in the effects setup? It needs to be in front of the delay and Verb. Otherwise you cutting those off when you heel down. Oh, I see! I have the Vol in the end of the signal chain! My bad. Could that be the reason? I'll try it then. Thanks, Mr!

I have done the calibration and am pretty sure it is calibrated. Thanks, btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mr! That should fix it. Think about it. The vol is a like the volume knob on your guitar or amp. If I want the reverb trails and delayed notes to continue after you heel down, then you can't turn their volume off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
