How Can I use My HD500

[evansrik]

Hello.

My first post here.

I'm trying to understand my HD500.

Can I use it as a straight pedal board? One switch, one effect?

Each tone I've seen online show that amps and other thing ae assigned.

 

So much out there. I'm a little confused on the approach to take.

Any good videos or suggestions are welcome.

Thank you all.

Check out the POD HD section here:

There's over 100 effects available to choose from. And you can only use 8 per patch. 

Yes. You will need to assign something somewhere. 

 

Yes, once a patch is programmed, you can use it as a straight pedalboard if you want to.

Since you are a new user, I will add this. 

 

 

You will become overwhelmed if you let yourself become overwhelmed. 

Imagine walking into a store. There are hundreds of options to choose from. 

But which one will you chose. 

The POD is the store, it has hundreds of options. Choose one. 

 

And switching from physical to virtual....

If you never used something in the physical world, don't use it in the virtual world. 

Design your virtual rig to replace your physical rig.

No need to add noise gate and eq and flanger and so on and so forth 

 

 

It should be like using Microsoft Word instead of paper in a typewriter. 

It is virtual typewriter. No need to go changing fonts and adding HTML links. Just type words.
