Re: What every HD500 owner needs to know!

I sold my POD HD500 a year ago. I got myself a new one these days and I'm quite surprised this topic is still active.

As I work in IT I understand how development works, fixes and improvement take time, the fact this topic is still active for over a year worries me a bit though. However, I'm a casual player lacking the knowledge to really judge on it or blame Line6. However, even my casual ears noticed sometimes things just sound broken on the POD.

This is an interessting topic to me, I don't understand really much of Electronic Guitars and what comes with it. I have played acustic guitars for 10 years just for fun. A couple a weeks ago I bought a HD500 and a Ibanez RG1570Z.

When playing For the Love of God (Steve Vai) I noticed I have problems to sustain certain notes. My first thought it was because of the guitar, a guy on the Ibanez forum was complaining about sustain issues on his RG1570 as well.

Are there some basic rules I need to be aware of to get a good sustain, POD wise as well as guitar wise?

Turn off your POD, restart your computer, turn your POD on again, run the monkey software. If it fails again, download the firmware setup manually from the website.

Please note that there is a bug with firmware 1.40 and the latest drivers. You POD may hang and make ear crashing sounds. If you encounter this issue you can downgrade to driver 4.2.44, this will fix it.

I indeed noticed sleep mode causes connectoin issues. I appreciate your workaround, however for notebookes this isn't really an option.

I can confirm rolling back to driver 4.2.4.4 fixes the problem.
