mara17 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I tried to assign amp drive and amp volume to exp1 and exp2. Assigning goes ok but it does not work as it should. Sounds like amp is totally disabled, or at least sound is pretty similar as it would be without amp. And when turning bass-mid-treble knobs, display does not show any of the knob values. Is this normal behaviour with HD500X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you assign a parameter to a controller you have also to set its minimum and maximum settings (see the pic above here), otherwise if they are set to the same value the controller will do nothing. When you move any of the POD amp knobs the screen switches to "momentary amp knobs display", but only if that function is enabled in the system setup settings (first page). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've set lower and upper limit properly. And it is not about controller doing nothing, but whole amp getting bypassed/disabled. Question remains, does mapping amp drive or volume to exp work for you? I mean work properly, so that amp still works :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When non sense behaviors of the POD happen, the medicine (if it works) is always the same: global reset, necessarily followed by pedal calibration _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurghanico Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 3 hours ago, mara17 said: Did also that. At this point it seems probable that your POD has an hardware problem, and if so it needs to be serviced to go back to normal operation. If you didn't already, open a support ticket to speak directly with the Line6 official support guys in the hope of finding the best solution. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yes, I have a setlist of morphing patches. I used it as a toggle mostly to two tones on the same amp...morphed drive, tonestack, channel volume, fx settings...basically, scenes...a real pain to tweak. never had the problem of the amp disabling...Have you tried it with Edit disconnected? I only say that because I never tweak with Edit...I only use it as a patch/setlist manager to name them, reorder and backup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceatl Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Are you 100% certain that the toe switch is not assigned to the amp? IOW have you selected the amp, held down Enter and insured that the amp has no buttons assigned? I guessing you have checked this as you seems to have covered everything. was just a thought as the toe switch implicitly controls with expression controller is turned on...if somehow that got assigned to the amp, I could see how it might disable unexpectedly. just a thought.
