olbrecht Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Hi there, sorry for this beginners' question but I am trying to send a mono signal to FOH and the same signal to a tuner effects pedal. I figured that 1) the built in tuner is too slow and 2) makes a crackling noise when turning it on and off. I was going to send XLR out to FOH and line out to the tuner. My questions: Does this work or are there drawbacks? Does this make even sense or is there a better solution? Thank you very much!

pianoguyy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wait... Define mono. XLR is always Left or Right. There is no left and right the way 1/4" can do. Also, does the HD500X have a 'line out'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you look at the switch "1/4" OUT" near the pedal is written LINE/AMP, ie the 2 possible output modes of the POD from that type of output. LINE mode corresponds to LINE OUT.

Rather I forgot to mention that when the OP wants to tune he better select an empty patch to send only the guitar signal to the tuner, and completely turn down the volume of the monitor/amp or mixer channel so as not to disturb the audience until he has finished tuning. Using instead the built-in tuner is much easier.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the suggestion, but as I said the built in tuner has two main problems for me: generating noise when switching to/from it and it's too slow. But wow! I'm really ... and I mean REALLY stupid, not thinking of the fact that the audience will hear my tuning. The workaround with the empty patch is a brilliant suggestion. Thank you very much!

The workaround with the empty patch is a brilliant suggestion. ..actually the empty patch suggestion is only for sending the dry guitar signal (as it should be when tuning) to the tuner, not for muting the output. However if your tuner also has an output and has the "mute" function when it is engaged IMO the best solution would be to connect it between the guitar and the POD, or you could use instead a good clip-on tuner always applied on the guitar headstock _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
