Morrowindsr8good Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Greetings. Basically I need some help with connecting my HD500 into my ENGL power amp without using the fx send. At the moment I have it working in this chain order; Guitar>HD500(FX Send)>ENGL E840/50>Marshall 1936 Lead. But I want to be able to go directly out of the pod instead of using the fx send, wasting an fx block and been able to use the looper. So the chain would be instead; Guitar>HD500(1/4"out)>ENGL>Marshall. Any ideas? Iv'e included some images, one of which is the back of the ENGL, the right input is from an XT PRO which is turned off.

phil_m Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm confused... Why are you using the FX send as the output in the first place? What's preventing you from using the 1/4" outs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrowindsr8good Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I really don't know, that is the only way I managed to get it up and running. Here's the only applicable settings I can see effecting anything and I have played around with them. On the front next to the expression pedal I have; Guitar in: Normal 1/4" out: Line And in the setup menu I have output set as stack pwr amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 If you put the effects loop block in the signal path and have it turned on and don't actually have anything in the loop, you won't get any sound coming out of the 1/4" outputs. That could be one thing you're seeing. So unless you actually want to use the loop, don't put it in your tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrowindsr8good Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 That's the thing I am getting no output through the 1/4" outs without an fx loop block, I had to put one in as a work around. I've just created a new simple patch without an fx block and I have no output through the 1/4" outs whatsoever. Guitar in>amp block>1/4" out (tried left and right)>ENGL>Marshall, still nothing. It's not the cable because if I plug my guitar directly into the ENGL I get sound, I also have had the POD plugged directly into a PA before and it worked fine.

phil_m Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Could you put the .h5e file of one of your patches up here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
