Anyone using POD HD PRO with footswitch FBV Express MKII ???? (bug ? discovered)Line6 : Help !

Hi all !

Like I talked a few hours ago with Nick in a previous thread, Ithink I'm facing either a bug or a corrupted database or files :

Using the POD HD PRO alone (without the footswitch Exptress mk2) : all seems to be right,

using both of them together : systematically : the sound decreases after 2 or 3 mn IF I use the footswitch to change a preset.

Nick : I tried with the POD Editor not running : same isssue!

but it seems that the Footswitch mk2 is the root cause (RJ45 wiring) or at least a part of the root cause.

Here are my SW releases :

pod hd pro edit : 1.06

Monkey installed : 1.5 (newest : 1.43) : strange that no ??

it is indicated :

"This item is up to date.

This Line 6 Monkey update adds support for DT25 updating."

Flash memory (pod hd pro) : 1.40

Driver (footswitch I guess ? ) : 4.2.5.1

I need your support and pod hd pro users your feedback please !

I'm ready to reinstall drivers and sw for pod and footswitch if you ever did not face such issue...,

let me know , thanks

may be footswitch mk2 could be not compatible with pod hd pro ??? or any new bug ?

Thanks for your help,

cheers

Hi all,

To line6 SW developers, I think that the root cause is that POD500 presets are not fully compatible with
the gear : POD HD pro and footswitch fbv Express mk2 :

if someone has this previous combined gear like me, please try to download a pod500 preset
and try to switch from A to B using your Express MK2 : I think you'll notice a "bug" as the sound level suddenly decreases
it's reproducible.

let me know, thanks

Bye

  I need to double check this with my POD HD Pro and FBV Express MkII.
  
  Please note however that the use of POD HD500 presets in the POD HD Pro is not supported by Line 6; it has simply been facilitated, meaning that if a POD HD50 preset doesn't perform as expected when used in a POD HD or POD HD Pro, you are on your own. This is because subtle differences in the architecture between the three devices may cause unexpected behaviour. That said, personally i have not experienced any difficulties at all in using HD500 presets in my HD Pro.

I have had a volume drop problem with my HD Pro with firmware 1.4. Sometimes it starts off quiet, and then if I turn the unit off and then on, again, the volume is OK.

I rolled back to 1.3 and the problem went away. Perhaps they are related. I am using a FBV Mark 1, FWIW.

  ok, thanks a lot,
  if the issue persists, I'll downgrade,
  but I think it is due to pod hd500 presets which I should rather not download, especially if I expect to use footswitche,
  otherwise it runs
  
  To be confimed in the next days,
  cheers

    Once the flash memory has been successfully updated to v1.40, you will need to perform a Global Settings reset and a pedal calibration using the instructions at the link below:
    
    http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2222
    
    I would suggest you try this first before rolling back your flash memory.
