Namssob Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm new to this forum, and just got a new POD HD500X. I would like to assign the SAME effect to multiple footswitches. Is this possible? Here's what I am trying to do... For one specific preset (that will be song specific), I have a "Solo" FS1 that turns on an Overdrive, Compressor, and Reverb. No problem. But at other times in the song, I only want to use Reverb without the Overdrive or Compressor. FS1: Turn ON / Off Overdrive, Compressor, Reverb FS4: Turn On / Off Reverb only Can I do this WITHOUT adding two separate Reverb effects to my chain?

spaceatl Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 hmmm...The only way I can think that it might work is to jump the midi I/O with a cable and program FS4 with a specific CCs to turn that reverb on and off....Program FS1 the conventional way and FS4 using CCs...

Namssob Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 OK, thanks. I have NO CLUE what any of that means (I'm a novice), but I can accept that "it's complicated, and unlikely". I am ablt to just put two Reverbs into the chain, so: FS1: OD, Comp, Reverb1 FS4: Reverb2 I just don't like it because it uses one of the 8 slots that I'd like to leave open for something else.

pianoguyy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 You can assign multiple blocks to one switch. but you can not assign the same block to multiple switches. you can, however, put the same fx in multiple blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 depending on what you want to do you can assign different parameters for the same FX to different controllers. Example, analog delay w/mod ON/OFF to a FS, time to Exp1, mix to Exp2, feedback to JTV volume, depth to JTV tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if he used a wet/dry feature, the other one would still need to be turned on in order for it to have any effect. ---- put on/off to fs1 and wet/dry to fs2, but if fs1 is turned off, who cares what the mix is. (if you follow that). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
