• The above rules also apply within each of the parallel Paths A and B, since
these are each stereo signal paths as well. The Mixer Block offers Pan controls to
independently adjust the stereo balance of each of these Paths before they are fed
into the first “Post” FX (or Amp Block, if the Amp is placed here), immediately
following the Mixer.
• Please also see
“Amp Model Positioning” on page 6•1
information.
Expression Pedal & Variax® Knob Controller Assignment
POD HD500 includes two Pedal Modes,
EXP 1
and
EXP 2
for the “on-board” Pedal,
each of which can be assigned to any FX Model or FX Loop parameter, for endless control
possibilities.* Or, when an Expression Pedal is connected to the
PEDAL 2
input on the
back of POD HD500, the on-board Pedal controls
EXP 1
and Pedal 2 controls
EXP 2
.
The
EXP 1
and
EXP 2
Pedal Modes can each be assigned to control independent FX
parameters. These
EXP 1
&
EXP 2
assignments and all settings made here are saved per
Preset.
*Note that when you add a Wah FX Model to your tone, the “Position” parameter for
the Wah is automatically assigned to
EXP 1
. Likewise, when adding a Volume or Pan
FX Model, its Position parameter is automatically assigned to
EXP 2
. This will result in
multiple items assigned to these EXP Pedals if you already have existing Pedal assignments.
For all Factory Presets that already include a Wah, Volume or Pan, these are typically
already assigned as well. You can change these Pedal assignments, and/or create your own
for other FX parameters - read on!

When no additional Pedal is connected to the
PEDAL 2
input, the on-board Pedal‘s
“Toe Switch” will toggle between the control of Pedal Modes
EXP 1
and
EXP 2
.
The red
EXP 1
and green
EXP 2
LEDs illuminate to indicate the current Pedal
Mode. (It is also possible to manually assign other functions to the Toe Switch - see
“Using the EXP Pedal Toe Switch” on page 3•13
