I used the 4 cable method with Marshall JCM900 for quite a while. When I wanted to experiment with different amps sound, I switched to the following: POD's output to Marshall's return + presets using pre-amp models with cab simulation turned off. The cool thing about all those methods is that you can choose whatever fits your needs at the time giving you almost endless possibilities to experiment. Great video, Jon! Take care and have a great day!
I'm wanting to have a set-up in my garage using a multi effects processor. I want it loud like I'm at a concert being able to play along with bands playing on the laptop or whatever. Do I use the processor with a combo amp hooked up with an extra cabinet? Or a PA system? Any ideas would be great.
Your info was good except when you said to turn off your Amp Model when going into the front of your amp?Why would you do this with a Modeling unit?Yes you would turn off the Cabinet Modeling going into the Clean channel of your amp or Effects Return of a amp but i would not turn off the Amp Modeling unless you just want to use the Effects from your Modeler!
@@jimsimmons2674 I'd say, if it sounds good then absolutely go for it. In my experience though, turning off the amp model and only using effects sounds best with real amps.
I have a HD500x since 2014 and it has covered all my gig needs since then. Never failed me. Great video!
Thank you! I've been running a 500x since 2013
I’m still a HD500X die hard and I’ve been enjoying your videos for YEARS Joe! Thanks for all the knowledge!
When I first used HD500X, your videos were what got me through how to use them. I have a helix now and I honestly miss HD500X!
Great video!!
You're all grown up now 😭
Oh and the production on this video is totally gorgeous! The room looks sick. The graphics. Everything 👏👏👏👏👏👏

how bout this chain
guitar > multieffect input > L(mono) > return amp
will this work okay?
The 4th method will be plug in your multieffect output into return jack at your amp and bypass the cab sim inside your multieffect.
