Re: I appreciate it, but...

As I bothered to point out, I did check my facts and do not claim anything was not done as advertised. But I own pods since pod 1, 2, xt, x3 and now hd, and this is the first time they went backwards feature-wise. I can live with this, and certainly prefer quality over a myriad featuers, but tell me: how do you achieve comfortably something like reamping for HD models? We've been doing this for a decade. I think pod farm doesn't have HD models. I don't expect the HD to do something it wasn't advertised to do, I am however expecting line6 to provide a very complete offering for their top-of-the-line models, which so far they don't. It's not a complaint, just an observation: I know many people who record a lot more than they perform live, and they kept their (discontinued) X3 over getting a new HD for precisely this reason.

What's even more troubling is the fact that the "press release" for the update mentions some integration features with other products, but still nothing significant wrt recording features. The X3 remains the most endowed product for recording, and that's unsettling. Of course I checked my facts before getting my unit and as I only use it live I can live with it, but still it's strange that they wouldn't provide an effective X3 upgrade on some of the fronts.

Re: HD500 Alternative to the Toe Switch for toggling EXP 1&2?

Unfortunately, I don't think you can (would love to be proven wrong). This is the main reason why I use a second exression pedal for volume, and use the toe switch to engage/disengage the wah just like with an actul wah.

Could be. There's very little they could have sold me now, but that's definitely it.

It's probably not too revolutionary (it's essentially a very feature-rich digital mixer), but its features are impressive. If the price is right I'm getting one.

Re: Waitin' on the Bus EQ-Matched preset (HD500)

I can't comment on the tone as I don't have the pod with me right now, but isn't the song called "waitin' FOR the bus"?

Line6 needs to develop mobile applications for POD HD

support@line6.com — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:40:17 GMT

With the advent of tablet pcs running either iOS or Android, most people will not have to carry around a laptop or netbook just to be connected. As a matter of fact, in my band, 3/4 of the members use tablets for their music notes during the gig. It would be nice if one could access some basic functionalities of the pod via the tablet. I am not talking about fancy stuff: I don't need to edit (though an editor would be nice) or activate/deactivate effects via the tablet.

What I, and I guess many other people, could do with is a version of "monkey" to perform emergency reflash or updates on the go, as well as a patch librarian software to restore patches, move them about, rearrange them for the night, etc. I have no use for a laptop or netbook, whereas I'm always likely to have my mobile devices with me most of the times -- most tablet feature host-mode USB connection.

I know this is feature request material and it will be submitted as such, but I'm posting this here in case someone else feels the same and might feel encouraged to submit a feature request him/herself.

Re: had trouble with firmware upgrade?

Have you calibrated the pedal? It is suggested to do so after a new firmware installation. Here's a guide on how to do it:

Re: Any hope for a new firmware with updated EQ soon ?

Line6's product update record has always been excellent -- they've been squeezing far more out of their products after launch than any other company as far as I have experienced. They do have however the somewhat "funny" habit of coming up with unexpected, huge surprise bonuses more than they've usually simply "settled" for dealing with what (judging from the forum talks) people seem to be asking more about. No doubt there are exceptions, but

things like the "dots" on the X3, or some global parameters seemed to be easier to manage than what they actually delivered. In any case, all updates came free, so there's very little one can complain about!

Re: Reinstalling Flash Memory 1.10 from 1.31, is it possible?

Yep. From Line6 Monkey you have a 'rollback' option to go abck to a previous firmware version.

Caricare un preset nel pod e' abbastanza semplice: in alto a sinistra in EDIT hai 3 bottoni raggruppati sotto "send": selected, set list o all. Il primo manda al pod la patch selezionata, il secondo tutto il set list, la terza l'intero insieme di patch.

E' spiegato nella pagina 2.1 della "POD HD 500 Pilot Guide":

"Using the SEND buttons overwrites the existing Preset/Set List data in your device’s internal memory,

effectively Saving the transferred items to your POD HD500. Using the RECEIVE buttons imports the

last saved versions of the selected Presets or Set List into the application. Please see the chapter “Set

Lists and Presets” on page 6•1."
