Equally, you would need to turn the HD500 Master level down ! Patch Setup – Effects Only In this case the output volume on your effects unit becomes the master control for the amp and you may need to turn the master control on your amp up way high to provide a signal into the effects loop.

(Sometimes called ‘Pre-amp Out’)HD500 FX Return (Left)4HD500 1/4″ Out (Left)Amp FX ReturnĪll cables can be standard guitar-type cables. Start with the first method and then only move to the second method if you need to.
