joedreamliner787 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi everyone, I just picked up the HD500X and I can't figure out to switch between the POD preamp or my preamp. Here is what I done with the 4 cable method.So right now on my lead channel I can turn the post up all the way and it does not affect my map. I don't know how to tell the pod to bypass and let my amp take over. Bascially I am trying to bypass the amp models of the 500x and just use certain effects to the back of my amp and also the front etc. I have also tried hitting the ENTER button and nothing happens as well as FS3 pre/post. Any help is greatly appreciated.

bvaladez74 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You have to add the FX loop block to your chain in the POD preset. That's what turns the FX send jack on...to be able to hear your actual amp via the 4 cable method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to have a patch I can try and look at it so see what I need to do? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedreamliner787 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Finally, I got it. Didn't realize there was an FX acutal block and now it's beutiful I can put this anywhere I want! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvaladez74 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to acheive. ARe you attempting to have one preset using an amp model in the pod turned on...and another using the preamp of your amp? Or are you trying to toggle on and off an amp sim to real amp within the same preset? The 2nd one...you wouldn't wanna do. The first one...is 4CM, you'd turn the amp models off....add an FX loop block in the POD preset and raise the rtn level up in volume til you hear what you like, volume-wise.
