RE: Dual tones sounds terrible?

support@line6.com — Fri, 24 May 2013 15:38:14 GMT

Hey Lars,

If you are planning on using dual tones with the POD HD500, it is very normal for you to have to listen to both amps at the same time while adjusting your tone. The whole point of using dual tones is to layer sounds, if you adjust them in while they are isolated, it will be inevitable that you will have to do additional adjustments after you combine the two together cause of the way their sound changes when you combine them.

Connection issue on some new Relay G50/90 units, with resolution

support@line6.com — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:19:10 GMT

It has come to our attention that a small number of Relay G50/G90 systems may have been shipped starting in the wrong RF mode. This is very easy to resolve. If your new Relay G50/G90 wireless system’s TBP12 transmitter will not connect to its receiver, switch the RF mode by following the procedures below:

1. Turn body pack power on.

2. Press and hold the "Select" button until the channel number flashes.

3. Press and release the "Value" button while continuing to hold the "Select" button.

4. Release both buttons when the display shows "RF1".

5. Verify by powering off the unit then turning power back on and watching for RF1 to be displayed during the turn on sequence. Your transmitter will now connect to your receiver.

I Returned My New Spider Valve

support@line6.com — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:53:16 GMT

So I bought a SV 112 Mark 1 when they first hit the stores back in about 2007. I still have it and I do like it. I love its flexibility, built in effects, awesome Mark 1 Shortboard, and the tone which I consider good enough for live gigging with my cover band. After all these years with trouble-free service from my Mark 1, I decided to buy a 112 Mark 2 and the Mark 2 Shortboard so I could try out the most updated advancements to the SV. I got the first one and it was buzzing up a storm. Returned it for a second one and all seemed good. The tone is different than the Mark 1. Its not bad, but the Mark 1 sounda bigger and the Mark 2 sounded like it had a blanket covering the speaker. But I kept on working with it. I found that I really like the new "high gain" models. I could get a mild cruchy tone all the way to a fully distorted tone using this amp model. So then I started experimenting with the effects. I gotta tell you, I like the effects better in my Mark 1. I know people have complained about the limited tweakability of the Mark 1, but there are some sweet spots in the dial for each effect. The Chorus in the Mark 2 seemed less lush, and I could not get a pleasing phaser sound. Some of the other effects are nice, and I did like some of the reverb options as well. But I'm not a huge tweaker... meaning I don't like to spend hours having to dial in every specific aspect of every amp model, every effect, every patch for each of my guitars. Yes, I do have to tweak the Mark 1, but I find less options to be a good thing. Anyway, I finally dialed in some good patches then I hooked up the Mark 2 Shortboard. What a major downgrade this thing is versus the Mark 1, especially the LED read out. But I forged on anyway, only to find that every time I switched patches mid-song the amp would make very loud pops. Long story short is that I now know by reading forums that this is a known problem by Line 6 and their stupid solution is to crank up your patch volumes which means my master volume goes from silent to ear-bleeding volume. Well, I decided to try this anyway, then I overcame this ridiculous master volume issue by setting my minimum and maximum volume pedal levels to 10 and 15 respectively. This way my master volume allowed me to not go from silent to ear bleeding volume. So I tried this for a while only find that I still occasionally had pops when changing channels. After all this nonsense I said the hell with it. I packed it up and sent it back. While I don't love my Mark 1 version, at least it is reliable, without design and/or quality defects. The Mark 2 may have alot more features, but the two Mark 2 amps that I tried were junk.

didn't mean to offend... just saying stuff dies...

and different users handle the gear differently...

if you could pin all those topics back to one particular thing that caused the issue... then they would surely fix it.

but if it just stops working for a variety of reasons for a variety of users then you can't really call it faulty.

Re: Addon's bought on Podfarm 1 won't load in Podfarm 2 (UX2)

support@line6.com — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:35:26 GMT

well just so you know... here is what you get:

hardware independence... you could use any interface

native x64bit plugins

elements (you can run certain effects alone, rather than a full instance of pod farm... save some cpu on large projects)

and midi control... i don't believe that you can use control pod farm via midi with version 1.

Are you adding the vst to a dry track?

Are you clipping the vst input?
