rhandy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hello I buy one pod hd500x few days ago. In this momment is connect directly to my Alesis M1 Active Monitors, using 1/4 outputs in Line Mode, Sounds Good!!! But I´m thinking to test with my old rack. I have one Marshall JMP1 Pre-amp And one Marshall 8008 valvestate power Amp, cabinet Marshall 1922 (2x75Watt). First option - Can Iconnect direct to power Amp, should use Line output or Amp??? (don´t use the marshall pre-amp)? Second Option - Using four cable method - I want to try for Example: One distortion in front and one treadplate or other pre-amp before my pre-amp, and after colours (delays, chorus, etc). But I don´t know how I can use only pre-amp of an Amp (is only put cab off ???) Effects loop should be put between amp and mixer or after mixer?

pianoguyy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The beautiful thing about all of your questions is: It doesn't matter how you set your stuff up. Set it up various ways and find what you like best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhandy Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Great answer pianoguyy! Is one great truth, but how I can using only pre-amps in POD HD, instead of use complete amp?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstar1960 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yes your first option will work and you can set the 1/4" outs on the HD500X to LINE. Your second option will also work and you can use just the PRE-AMP model in the HD500 by selecting NO CAB for the cab option. The effects loop can go wherever you like it best and that will depend on what fx you put in the fx loop, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
