ColonelForbin Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Anyone try plugging their JTV 1/4" out into one HD500 and the ethernet variax plug into a second HD500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugdealer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 it's possible, though the 1/4" would follow whatever guitar the pod with the VDI would have... Why do you ask? what would be the point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you ask? what would be the point? I think you addressed the main issue; I didn't realize the two outputs couldn't be set to different configurations - IE, was wondering if the onboard regular pickups could be sent out just the 1/4", with the modelled VDI out the other. It would appear that question is answered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I guess one use would be to dial in totally different amp models and tones, and merge them; though it would be such a tap dance to keep the two HD500's on the right patches. I guess you could have one HD set as a common rhy tone, and use the other to go all crazy warp drive stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugdealer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you wanna have a dry/dirty signal you can have just the VDI to the pod for dirty and the jack for clean. You would just require 1 POD even. Split the chain in two and have the signals separated between left and right, and have the input 1 on variax and 2 guitar! two pods at once could be synced over MIDI!

phil_m Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The posts above are correct in saying that you can't have the 1/4" output on the Variax send something different than the VDI. Although, you can have both the magnetic pickups and the modeled guitar both come in over the VDI, and you can have them as separate inputs on the HD500. So there is a way you could send the mags to one HD500 and the modeled guitar to the other. It's just a little convoluted. You'd have to setup a dual tone on the first HD500 with Input 1 set to mags and Input 2 set to whatever model you want (or vice versa). Set up Path A however you want. For Path B, don't put anything in the tone except the effects loop. Take a cable from the effects send of the first HD500 into the input of the other, and that will be the modeled signal. Than setup the tone in the second HD500 however you want. You could connect them together via MIDI if you want to have patch changes synchronized. The main benefit to having two HD500s like this is that it gives you the ability to have two completely separate stereo paths with stereo outs for each one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenSLR Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 You could try the 8 cable method. j/k s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
