Good demo, thanks. Liked and subscribed. I just spotted one of these in mint condition for $40. Probably a crime not to buy it at that price. Delay is not really my thing but it is useful in a lot of situations. Maybe a $40 used pedal is just what I need after getting rid of my strymon dig and Boss dm-2w. Thanks again for the demo and good luck with the channel. Play on 🎶🤘🏻🎸
Thanks I really appreciate it! $40 bucks is great! I’m with you, I don’t use a lot of delay which is why I didn’t want to spend too much on the pedal. Thanks for the support!
My friend I am doing something wrong, can you help me by answerign my question? Why you assigned pedal01 to CC01? Because you want to trigger the command CC1 on a device or a software with pressing the first footpedal? So if I want to trigger the commad labeled CC26 with the first pedal I will press it and programm it by typing n 26 instead of 01? And then programm the values 00 to 127 on 6 and 7 accordingly?
I ran into your lesson because I want to control Line-6 POD HD500X. It needs to select 8 main groups by PC or manual. Each group has 16 basic presets that are arranged in 4 groups 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D then 2A, 2B...all the way to 16C and 16D. Having a group that contains 4 sounds is very practical for each song or style. It has a pair of Up & Down switches also (1-16). The HD500X pedal has a Big Letter View window that show the activated preset. But if there is modification (by PC Editor program or manual buttons) the stupid View window will not return to Big Letter unless I bend down or kneel on the floor to press View twice. It is hard with the guitar on my neck. Also for setting the pedal, it is better to put on a tall rack or desk and adjust while sitting and playing guitar on a chair. Doing so I can't lift my foot or use finger to press the switches. I used FCB-1010 before with my Yamaha DG-80 Amp with out problems because the preset increased consecutively from 00 to 80 (I don't remember). I tried with Line-6 POD HD500X today and was able to activate about 20 presets. But I noticed that many sounds did not came out right. Some configurations changed and later the PC crashed. Please help. Thanks, PS: Please also show the initial conection to PC. Using Midi cable?
Don't scoff at the Hall of Fame pedal because of it's price. Mike Dawes uses one and he has had his RU-vid channel and played solo including as opener for Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues and played guitar with him as part of his touring group. Mike may have upgraded his reverb I think he found one just a little better overall but the side by side comparison with the Hall of Fame was very good showing the TC pedal to be very good. I think Mike is going with a Nuenber Immerse $250 which is $100 more and is just a little better. As seen on RU-vid Anderton's rig under $1000 with Mike comparing the TC with the Immerse so you can watch that and see just how good the Hall of Fame is. Just proves even professional musicians use TC Electronics
I had one of these and had some success programming it, but overall, it couldn't access a lot of my gear's features I wanted it for even though it was for the Behringer Virtualizer Pro 2024. *Fortunately, I don't really use modulation and time-based depth effects, and the new breed of floor processors often have midi controllers built into them.* I'm sure if I were running plugins on a PC with it, then it would be a beast of a unit. *There are, however, custom EPROMS you can buy for it that are specific to guitar gear, rack processors etc.* The guy I sold it to installed EPROMS programmed specifically for the Behringer Bass V-Amp, so you dropped it in, plugged it in and everything was custom tailored. Programming it for my gear hit a lot of dead ends, but I did get a fair bit of control out of it, just far from what anyone would expect.
Thanks for making this video. I've been working through their manual and i still found assigning the pedals confusing. There was still one small thing i didnt understand in order to assign CC #s for the pedals.
Great demo! I have a request. Can someone who has this pedal please try using it with a microphone and see what kind of reverb vocal effects you can get from it. I'm looking for an inexpensive means of creating different venue type effects. Thanks!
Question because i'm a little lazy to watch the entire video. Are the buttons easy to press? I bought an akai piano and whilst it is good the keys require more effort in pressing than i'd like.
Behringer really struggled to take the angle of the user when they wrote the manual... I love that you focused on CC number programming as 98% of the folks that would use this are going to use it exactly as such. Good on you for taking the time to make this!
Really enjoyed your video .. and the comments from viewers. I thought I was losing the plot as I struggled to do even basic edits. This helps A LOT! Thank you.
You were missing the whole balancing process between the strings and springs as well as the re-adjustment of the string action and the intonation between changes of the spring tension .... !
Hey in the “setting the bridge height” section I explained how to balance the spring tension with the strings (resulting in the bridge sitting at an appropriate height) and as mentioned, you will have to go through each of the steps shown multiple times as when you adjust one aspect such as the string tension that impacts everything else. Hope this clears it up!
I think it’s because they’re the main controls and they’re pretty necessary/standard. There’s still plenty of other buttons you can customise. What is your use that requires you to customise the outside pads specifically?
Any idea how to assign a volume and was for dip with a Mac ?? every time I active the way and step on the pedal it shuts the way off and takes me to another preset ?!?!?! ready to chuck this thing out the window!! any help would be great!
Hm it sounds like the wah is assigned to the wrong midi number? Did you get to do the steps exactly how they are in the video? Also can you remove the midi link that triggers the preset it keeps taking you to?
I've had this thing for two years and gave up trying to program it to do anything but be expression pedals. The manual can show you how but if you don't know WHAT to do it doesn't matter if you know how. Thank your for this!
Thanks man, your video helped a ton. Now for whatever reason after I had it all set up the way I wanted and everything was working...It just stopped. Ive got no reason as to why. Ive factory reset a dozen times now and followed your vid to the T. Everything says it should work like it did but it wont. I'm using it with neural dsp stuff through ableton. Maybe you have some insight I dont?
well it was definitely ableton. it worked just fine on the standalone version of archetype gojira, so i reinstalled ableton and now it works just fine again. thanks for your response too!@@staytuned3068
I got mine for $180AUD used like new so I consider it relatively affordable if you compare it to pedals like the Strymon big sky which go for like $600ish. And I think it’s almost half the price new of an Oceans 11 reverb.
QUESTION, I got everything working now bud EXP2 does have a diffrent velocety curver then EXP1 , Like if I push exp 1 Frome heel to toe it goeas seemlesly from 0-127 bud if i do it with EXP2 nothing happens till I am at halfway, and from there on it transissions from 0-127. As ifthe previous owner had manupulated something to make it more sensitive. I dont think it is meant to be that way.. Has someone a IDEA??
@@staytuned3068 im not sure. Cause when i got it, it was the KemperFrirmware chip inside, then i got a new fresh chip, 2.5, i think. Bud i can still try to reset. Looks like someone choose to have a diffrent velocity curve.

I have a quick question. Would it be possible to control both my behringer amplifier and my new boss VE500. Could I put the amplifier on bank one and the VE500 on bank 2? using a split midi cable
After thinking about it for a moment it would be impossible to do it with a split cable but an AB switch box for MIDI. You could have A switch position for the amplifier. Then when switching to B, it would disconnect the path to the amplifier and only connect it to the VE500 and then you could choose whatever bank and or memory position you wanted for each one. I may have answered my own question?
@@ke4uyp If my understanding is correct, as long as both the ve500 and amp are programmed to receive different midi values you should be able to use them with a split cable? As long as its outputting signal to both devices.
No worries, I think there’s less functionality in the arrangement views as it’s not really made for that but I’ll work like any other midi controller in terms of mapping
@staytuned3068 Hello. I wanna know if I could hire you to take this from the very start and teach me how to make it work... controlling a keyboard or a VST, please? Let me know here so we can talk about it.
Thanks I did figure it out eventually. It's not all that crazy after all, but I will probably be using the free fcb1010 Manager software to experiment with more complex configurations.
Great pedal video. I think ya covered pretty much all the main points anyone would want to know about it if they were planning on getting one. I especially liked the playing; the fact that it was dynamic and varied, with smooth runs and licks combined with some more percussive/staccato bits. I think that's especially important for reverb demos; rather than ONLY soloing and/or just finger picking chords. Although, would have maybe been cool to hear how some distorted/overdriven stuff would sound (I do think that clean is the best way to really hear the effect when it comes to reverb, but I hardly ever hear anyone do some smooth fuzz solos or some doom metal distorted droning with some good reverb; and I think that would be cool, but that's just me). The only thing I'd disagree with is the "affordable" part. LOL I get it, it's all relative and depends on your personal financial situation. It's definitely affordable compared to something like the Strymon Big Sky or some of the Walrus Audio pedals I've seen. But for me personally, I'm at that level where anything over $100 U.S. moves out of "affordable" territory and more into "need to save up for a bit" territory. As of now it's showing for about $160 U.S. on Sweetwater. Got it in my wish list and plan on getting one at some point (it's not like it's completely out of reach or anything), but for now I've actually got a TC Electronics Skysurfer that should be delivered tomorrow. It's only about $50 U.S. and for me that is a good "affordable" alternative until I'm able to upgrade to the Hall of Fame. ;)
