- What's up guys?! I tried out the FX Loop on the Line 6 POD HD500x. I can't believe I've never used it before. It's a great way to incorporate unique stompboxes into your signal chain. In this video I patch in a Walrus Audio Descent Reverb and a Keisman Midnight Drive to the FX Loop on my 500x.

A little about myself:
My name's Jon Eleyet and I like making videos about guitars! Sometimes the videos are about a goofy guitar that I made out of Fruity Pebbles, other times it's a tutorial about guitar tone. In either case, my goal is to make your life better by giving you a laugh or unlocking a new skill.
I have the PODHD500X and using pedals in the effects loop is way cool. Glad you did a video on that subject. Thanks
Hey, I have bought a Mooer Radar cab simulator pedal and use it with POD fx loop. Now I can use POD with impulse responses that make POD sound way more natural and better. I don't use stock cabs at all
I think you can disable stock cabs and use the radar after the output of the pod, so you have an extra slot for effects if not using the fx loop
If you put effects loop block at end of chain, set it to 100°/° mix, 0 return, send assigned to expression pedal for volume control, you can use this send as a separate output to a mixer and no sound will bleed out of the normal xlrs and 1/4" jacks. Use it on my bass guitar patches. When I hop back on guitar, I still have my stereo guitar guitar patches going out my left and right XLR cables to the board. Bass has it's own channel at the mixing board. Mono signal. Haven't bothered trying a TRS cable for a stereo send out of the effects send jack for the bass patches but I would think that's possible also.
I suppose if you wanted to get creative, you can set your input on the pod hd500x to aux in and guitar in or microphone in and then create a patch hard panned left and right with separate block paths for each input device. Then you would put the effects loop block at the end of the chain. Using a TRS patch splitter (Y) cable, you could send out the 2 extra input devices to their own inputs on a mixing board. All this set up per patch so you can maintain your guitar input jack and patches. The effects loop can be used in many ways. It can be a solo db booster. It can be put at the front of the chain as a switchable input source using just the effects return jack. Super useful tool as I play multiple instruments.
Just wanted to say that i figured out something cool on a new way to get a DRY and WET signal simultaneously (using the FX loop). It requires you to own an analog/digital interface like Jon has in other videos. It will use 2 ports of the interface. Method - place an FX block at the front of your chain and set the mix to zero. Then just use 2 leads (1 from FX out and 1 from L/Mono) and plug them into 2 input ports of your interface. One will be a DRY signal . The benefits of this method are - simple to configure each preset. You can still use a full split signal for WET. You can potentially still use 2 amps or stereo effects (using a 3rd cable). . If everyone knows this already, just ignore me.
Love the Effecets Loop Jon!! Thank you!! Got My Bad Horsie 2 In the Mix
Thank God 🙏 for you and this channel broski! I've had a number of line 6 pieces including the 500x and when it comes down to getting into the nitty gritty and answering questions about POD in general... this is the channel to turn to! Thanks again! Cheers
Great vid. Tnx. There are not a lot of 500x videos right now on TH-cam with the Helix taking all the attention. So keep them coming man!
I've had a 500X for over four years. Hardly ever used it because it was just too confounding. Thanks to your videos I now have a new-found respect and love for the POD. Much thanks.
Same here. Im starting using right now.
Did this for the first time yesterday, with my EHX Synth 9 and C9. The synth stuff of the 500x is fun and all, but the tracking doesn't match the EHX pedals. It was a bit of a "trial by fire" situation, since I was about to play a show, but it worked like a charm. Thanks for making these videos on my favorite modeller, man.
Glad it worked out! Those EHX synth pedals look dope. I need to try one out.
Please make a video of adding multiple stompbox with HD500X..
Thanks for sharing, mate! I love the way u think the HD500X... it does not have IR, but doesn’t mean it does not sound good! U made me rethink about buying a helix! Thanks, man!
I have used drive pedals in the loop for years and it sounds great!
Genuinely excellent channel pal, useful and clear. Thanks for making these.
Thanks .....yeah I've been using my board at a 10% knowledge base. (Lazy) After watching your clips I will putting in some effort now to learn more about getting more from it. Will follow your lead for sure. I've been too busy to put in the time on it--- Cal Lewis
Very useful video. Thanks.
Hi Jon, Thanks a ton for your HD 500X videos. You have a lot of useful resources on HD500X on youttube that has made life simpler with this beast for a lot of us. Highly request you to continue making more 500X videos. Tc!
I wonder if you could use 500x only for effects with realamp plus extrnal stompboxes.... just like m13
Nice video and trick if you want to use the FX loop for wet effects... But for distortion and drive pedals why didn't you plug the guitar in the input of the drive/distortion/boost and then in the input of the Line 6 Pod ?....(" Before the Amp")
Cheers .
Sick video man 🤘🤘
Thanks for watching!
Another awesome video Jon, so if you have more than one pedal you put more than one effects loop in the chain ? or just one ? if you have whammy pedal , a wah pedal and a looper for example. cheers Jon.
Hey Jon, thanks for your vids. You are my go-to source for practical info on using my line 6 pod. have you ever used the pod 500 with an external looper?
I had a bunch of good sounding JOYO pedals I sold. Regret doing that because back then I thought it was either the POD or the pedals and not both.
Yeah, I always thought it was either one-or-the-other too. It was a mini revelation when I realized you can do both😬
Nice video man!! Are the stock cabs good or we need external ir like the mooer radar????
Sweet! Can i run multiple External Effects in different footswitches??
Great video! I have a question unrelated to this video that maybe you know the answer to and would be willing to answer. I recently got an RC-500 and I want to use my Pod HD 500 as a midi controller for it. I have it all working... sort of. I have the Pod set to CC toggle as well as the RC500 set to toggle. If I don't have these set to toggle, the CC midi changes do nothing to the RC500. So things are set to toggle. BUT, the parameter on the RC500 ONLY changes when the cc value on the Pod goes from 0 to 127. It DOES NOT turn off the parameter when the CC change goes from 127 to 0. What this means is that I have to press the foot switch twice to make any changes. Once to go from the value of 127 to 0, then again to go from 0 to 127 for it to change the parameter on my RC500. Hopefully this makes sense. I just want to press the footswitch once to change parameter. Any suggestions or ideas why it's behaving like this?
Thank you for any help you might offer.
Have you tried an IR in the loop, like the Strymon Iridium? Just curious.
I haven't yet. But, I keep hearing about IR's so I'll try it soon.
Wish I could use my 500x ..can’t seem to get any sound running it through my Hughes and kettner amp 🤦♂️
How would you compare the line 6 pod hd500x and the line 6 firehawk fx pedal board? Besides the obvious editing difference between the two. Also has the firehawk fx pedal crossed your mind when you were getting the podhd500x.
kewl
hey bro!!!, I have a question, can I connect my pod to a amp with the 1/4 output without cab sim, and the same time connect to the PA with XLR output with the cab sim, simultaneously?
if is possible how i can do it? Thanks bro, I hope you can answer me
Hey bro, do you use the digital amps of the Pod when connected to a real amp?
Thanks for the vids! They’re very uselful for me when I’m trying to sort out which pod I should go for, the pod go or the hd500x.
How about if I want to use the hd500x only as a pedal board. Can it bypass the amp models and leave the signal as it is? Should I have it in the amplifier’s effects loop or connected directly between the guitar and the amp?
I can answer this one. I have the PodHD 500 (not x, but they are essentially the same). I use it both as an all in one when I'm doing guritar streams (using the amp models) and as an effects pedal board when I was playing in my band. All you have to do is turn off the amp block with the 500x and it will work as an effects pedalboard only, and will not apply an amp model to your signal. You could also use it in a 4 cable method (just google POD HD500 4 cable method) so you can place your drive effects before your amp, and your modulation, delay reverb effects after your amp if your amp has an fx loop. Alternatively, it works just fine going straight into the front of an amp.
@@TR-zf6io Thank you! I actually bought the hd500x and have tried multiple different methods, and it seems there is still much more to explore. Next up is trying out the four cable method just the way you described! :)
@@DrWepper awesome. hope you enjoy it. piece of advice if you want it... I'd recommend spending time becoming familiar with the user interface without plugging it into a computer. While it's certainly easier to set everything up with the computer software, having an understanding of how to do so without it has proven very useful for me.
@@TR-zf6io That’s true, and so far I’ve spent more time on the pod interface itself at the band rehearsal room than by plugging it in the computer at home.
The next, often neglected step would be reading the manual... :D But, seriously, there are so many features that cannot be understood without consulting the manual, especially since I’m used to the logic of stomp boxes.
Hey there, what if I wanted to use the 500X as an effects board only? No amp modeling?
You can do it you need to connect: pod fx return to amp fx send and pod output to amp fx return. You connect your guitar directly to the amp. Remember to add the FX block to the virtual patch in 500x
I tried adding my ts9 into the FX loop and noticed the signal and quality weakened, I tried raising the level, still hardly any improvement, does it happen to anyone?
Have you tried turning the fx loop volume up on the pod ?
