Setting up Volume Pedal Control (On the HD500X)

This tone "fire balls***" didn't come default with the volume pedal programmed into it.

To add the volume pedal in. This will show step by step how to add it in, this will work with any tone.

1. Select the tone of choice, and on the screen you should see an overview like this, showing all of the effects on the tone. Note the little black arrow over the far left effect.

2.  Using the 4 way control pad on the right, click over to an empty space that doesn't have an effect on it. (If the tone has all of the spaces taken, or it tells you that you don't have enough data to add more effects, just find an effect that you don't want/need on the tone, and replace it with the volume effect.)

3. The [1] shown in the empty space says none, to change this, use the #1 knob below the screen to change it to a volume/pan effect.

4. Scroll the knob to the right or left until you see 'Vol/Pan' this is the volume adjustment effect. Once you have it on this effect, it should connect to the main pedal on the unit and allow you to control it.

5. The volume pedal should be already set up, but to tweak the volume pedal more, you can use the knobs to adjust the levels of volume and what ranges the levels will be reached.
the numbers in the dark shaded area on the bottom of the screen correlate directly with the knobs below the screen. The words describe the function, and the knobs change or tweak the function.

6. If you rock the main pedal all the way back, it should update the value on the shaded area of the bottom of the screen. If you rock it all the way back the volume should be reduced to 0% be default. If you have a specific volume you want at the bottom of the pedal, you can adjust this by percentage, so when you rock the pedal all the way back it will reduce the volume to a set point opposed to reducing it to no noise at all.

 7. Once the pedal is rocked all the way back, use knob #4 to scroll up the percentage. Since you started at 0%, scrolling it up is setting its low position, or what the volume will be when the pedal is rocked all of the way back.

8. Now that the low position is set, you can rock the volume pedal all the way up to see that the volume is updated to 100%

9. The same as before, you can adjust the level of volume your pedal will cap at when it is rocked all the way forward. You can use knob #4 to set the volumes top cap position by rolling it backwards.

10. After you're done with all of your adjusting, just save the tone using the save button at the top left corner of the control area.
