tbramer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I read buried within another post that you can't assign multiple effects blocks to a single foot switch. I did this with my POD HD500, and really depend on it. Is it true that you can't assign more than one effect per foot switch with the Firehawk 1500?

phil_m Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Yep, that's true. Only one effect per switch on the Firehawk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbramer Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks for the info. That seems like such an obvious capability to carry over from the HD500. Does anyone know if there's any plan to add this functionality via a firmware update? This could literally be a deal-breaker for me for whether or not to buy a FH 1500. Creating a whole new patch just to turn on/off an effect is inefficient, not to mention there's usually an audible "break" in the sound when switching between patches that isn't there when simply turning on/off an effect (at least on the HD500). Is there something I'm missing? Does anyone know a good workaround for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a general rule, never buy a product that is missing a potentially deal-breaker feature in the hopes that the feature might become available someday. If the day comes that this feature is added that, imho, is when you should reconsider the FH 1500. Based on what you've said there is a very high probability that you will be disappointed if you purchase it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbramer Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Agreed, that's good advice. If I got some idea that it was going to be added, and an approximate time frame, I would be able to make a better plan for what gear I'm going to end up with in the near future.

jerryratpack Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 This surprised me. I thought that would be a common feature on any new product , at least in the 1000 dollar price range, and the foot switch for 249 . But the amp still intrigues me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbramer Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Same here. It has pretty much everything I want except for that one feature, which, unfortunately, I rely pretty heavily on. It seems like such a no-brainer that I'm shocked it's not included. I have a ticket submitted to Line 6 asking if they did the same thing to the Spider V, although I would much prefer to have the FH 1500.

zivdud Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I guess until Line 6 makes an equivalent to the Helix's snapshot in a new firmware update the best you could do is just save each configuration as a preset and just switched between them the "old fashioned" way. That is how I have been running my Lowdown for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
