Tarkenton Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 So I'm looking to have an optional downsized pedalboard-only rig. Currently looking to test the waters with something like a POD Express before I go for something more intensive like a Boss IR-200 with the full midi switching via my HX Effects presets. My question is, could I set the POD Express to have presets switch via the Ext Amp jack of my HX Effects in the same way that my actual physical amp changes channels per preset? Like I currently have my HX Effects controlling the channel switching on a Peavey 6505MH via a TRS cable with a footswitch on every given preset and snapshot controlling this, and if the Express can do the exact same (with tweaking) then great, I'll buy one. I'd only be using the Express to switch between a high gain amp and clean amp preset anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 No. All editing/changes to presets, amps, and FX in POD Express must be done manually using the knobs and buttons on the device. There is no external control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no external control. But the POD Express manual states that external footswitches can be connected to switch to 'previous preset' and 'next preset'. All I want to know is if the HX Effects's EXT Amp control can function this way in place of dedicated footswitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Sorry - I didn’t see that in the manual. I don’t own either device so can’t really help with your question. Others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
