william61 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I am using the HD500 for post preamp effects only and get a volume increase with the chorus and a volume decrease with the flanger. I have a Mesa Boogie Mark-V and have the HD500 hooked up like this: Guitar > tuner > wah > Mark-V input. Mark-V FX send > HD500 FX return (L/mono) (FX block placed after amp modeling and mixer (amp modeling turned off, mixer muted) > tremolo > phaser > chorus > flanger - delay > delay > delay > HD500 1/4" out (L/mono). HD500 FX loop switch set to LINE, HD500 1/4" output switch set to LINE (The Mark-V has a LINE level FX loop). Master volume set at 100%. It sounds great, but the chorus boosts the volume slightly and the flanger cuts the volume slightly. I messed around with the "Mix" on each effect but when I reach unity gain you can't hear the effect like you should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william61 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Got it... I used the AC flanger instead of the analog flanger and the dimension switch 1 instead of the analog chorus. Much better, no more volume variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
