Line 6 POD HD500X User Manual

Knob 4 - Sets the Multi-Function knobs to alter the settings on this page
for Amp A or Amp B.
NOTE:WhenscrollingthroughtheAmpModels,you’llseethatwe’ve
also included a complete set of “Preamp” versions of each Amp as well.
You can choose one of these to obtain the tone of just the preamp stage
of the amp. This can be very useful if you want to run your POD HD500X
outputinto anexternal amplier.Deep editingparameters arenotap-
plicabletothePreampModels.
FX Blocks
For each Preset there are always a total of 8 FX Blocks, each capable
ofloadinganyFXModelsortheFXLoop.WhenintheSignalFlowView
screen, select any FX Block and you’ll see options at the bottom of the
screen,adjustableusingtheMulti-FunctionKnobs1-4.FromtheSignal
Flow View with an FX Block selected Knob 1 - Select from among the
FX Model categories - Dynamics, Distortion, Modulation, Filter, Pitch,
EQ,Delay,Reverb,Vol/Pan,Wah,FXLoop,ornone.Knob 2 - Choose
thedesiredModelfromtheModelTypelist.Knob 3 - Choose from up
to 5 adjustable parameters for the selected FX Model. Alternatively,
double-press the ENTERbuttontodisplaytheEditModescreen,where
allparametersaresimultaneouslyviewablefortheselectedFXModel.
Knob 4 - Adjusts the value for the currently selected parameter.
EachFXBlockalsooersthefollowingfeatures:On/O: Toggle the FX
Block“On” or “O” by pressingthe ENTER button once. Your signal
willstillowthroughtheeect,butwillnotbeprocessedbyit.Move FX
Position: To move any FX Block, start within the Signal Flow View and
select the FX Block to be moved. Press the MOVE button and you’ll see
the selected FX Block appear “raised” to indicate it is now moveable.
Use the 4 Way Nav Pad to move the FX Block to the desired position.
Oncethe FXBlock isin thedesiredPosition, presstheMOVE button
again to drop it into place.
FX Loop
You can select to load the FX Loop in any of the 8 FX blocks. This allows
you to position the POD HD500X hardware FX Loop anywhere you like
within the current Preset’s signal path.
Just as with FX, you can access options for the FX Loop at the bottom of
theSignalFlowView,orintheEditModescreen.Youcanalsotogglethe
FXLoop“On”or“O”bypressingtheENTER button once.
Mixer Block
TheMixerispermanentlypositionedattheendoftheparallelPathsA&
B and provides individual Level and Pan controls for each Paths’ output
beforefedtothe“Post”position.WhentheMixerisselectedintheSignal
Flow View, its four parameters are available at the bottom of the screen,
accessibleusingtheMulti-functionKnobs1-4.
Knob 1 - Volume A controls the volume level of the Path A output. 0 dB
is unity gain.
Knob 2 - Volume B controls the volume level of the Path B output. 0 dB
is unity gain.
Knob 3 - Pan Aadjuststheleft/rightstereobalanceofthePathAoutput.
Knob 4 - Pan Badjuststheleft/rightstereobalanceofthePathBoutput.
Note: Changestothemixerlevelscanaectthewayanyeectsand
amp models are "driven" when placed before them in your signal chain.
For example, turning up the mixer in front of an amp model may cause
the amp's distortion characteristic to change...a testament to the authen-
tic behavior of our amp models.
Expression Pedal Assignment

whichcanbeassignedtoanyFXModelparameter,orevenanFXLoop
