djspleen Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'll be using my 500X for some live gigging and wanted to bounce some things off of the viewing audience here . Thanks for your help with past questions and thanks in advance for this one too. I've used a Pod 2.0 for the last couple of years. When playing live I would use the Left (mono) 1/4" out to a DI box, then XLR from the DI to the snake and 1/4" from the DI into my guitar amp which was being used ONLY as a personal monitor. Using the 500X I'm assuming that I can forgo the DI box and XLR directly to the snake AND 1/4" to my monitor with little to no adjustments needed by the 500X. Assuming I'm on the right track, I haven't yet designed any stereo patches, but should I use BOTH XLR outs anyway? We have plenty of mixer space so that's not an issue. We are NOT using a stereo setup with the sound gear so it will end up being mono anyway. I guess my question here is, if only one XLR is used, does the HD know that and send both Left and Right signals through the one XLR line?

BigChas52 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The HD does not sum left and right to the XLR, but you should be fine just using a single XLR as long as you are not creating stereo patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
