GrampaBob Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi I am truly sorry for yet another settings help but I run 3 different setups between my amp, HD500 and pedalboard so I'm making a chart to keep myself lined up. I also bring all the gear in case I have issues, I have a backup plan. Setup 1- I use my HD500 alone thru the FoH and use the modelers if the stage is small or need a fast setup Setup 2- I use my HD500 in 4CM with my blackstar stage mkii with amp models OFF (most used setup currently) Setup 3- I use my blackstar with my regular pedal board So I would love a guru to just check over my settings because although everything seems fine, it might not be right. What would my FX loop level be set to on my amp in all 3 setups, I have the +4 or -10 choice for loop level on the amp. Now for HD500 settings regarding #1 and #2. Line or AMP on the top? Guitar IN on normal opposed to PAD on top I assume? Line or STOMP on the backside? MASTER volume knob on the HD goes to full 100% wet? within the page setups......COMBO and Line/studio selection I also read having the mixer levels in the software up slightly to +3 works good so that's what I have for each patch. Welp I do thank you all for the read and any comments. Always concerned for tone zap like the old boss units, so trying to be diligent here. Love the versatility!

joel_brown Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I hope you understand that your HD500 tones will sound different when going straight into the FoH than when you're using it with your Blackstar. Guitar amps color the tone quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrampaBob Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Thank you for the above post. I have seen Tyler's video before and have followed his tutorial to great success. I do have 2 sets of set list patches for each scenario but I'm going to double check the comments you made and see how mine line up with those mentioned for sure.
