jmp22684 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Okay. - First I am in a rush so I have dual posted this on the boogie boards as well...So I had an amp blow a cap on me and needed an emergency replacement, thought I would try out the Mesa Boogie Road King Series 1.I am trying to hook up my HD500x to it using the 4 cable method and having no good luck with it... just killing the amps tone.... I thought about running the HD500 in only the effect loop but I really want to pop something in front to tighten the amp up. It sounds like it has great potential but just not really impressed so far. Coming from a Line 6 DT50 and I thought this Mesa would run circles around it. (I have two DT50's, one has blown two power transformers and the other blew a cap... I need reliability being that this is how I make my living and have pretty much had it with this amp line, so not really discussing that option... I will fix these two and pop them up on craigslist.)I have already read a few other guides on it, gone through setting, doing what I can... The problem is I am in a bit of a rush. This is what I do and I need to be running ASAP, so in hopes of finding a quick hand with it or a pointer to someone that is running this amp and this pedal that would be great!! Looking for all the setup settings on the amps loop and in the pod's settings.It has two effect loops, series and parallel, not sure which to use.... All of that jazz... I do not plan on using the HD500's models, only effects such as a screamer, fuzz, wah, octave in front, post EQ, chorus, delay in back.Any help would be greatly appreciated... As I said sorry if this has been covered and please point me that way if this specific amp and pedal have already been discussed to resolution, just happen to be in one heck of a hurry.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Use the series only. In such a rush just get one of your old patches sounding good with this amp. Any changes to any rig take time to adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp22684 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 thank you for the video, that actually helped quite a bit... Hate to admit it but for the upcoming show here I am just going to plug this pod into the front of the amp and call it a day... necessary at this point.
