Let us remember that it's been nearly 6 months total since the initial announcement of POD HD v2.0. At this point, "coming soon" for HD300 & 400 users is a definitive false-advertisement. Doesn't matter what the platform or hardware may be, six months is an absurdly long time to wait for an announced software update.

I take it the developers hadn't even begun working on the HD300 & 400 v2.0 prior to releasing it for the 500, PRO and desktop?

Not that it would do any good, but I would be PO'ed too if I owned the 3/400...

I feel for you 300/400 users on having to wait this long AFTER the 500 softwares release.

Like Zap said,  (and i Hope) its worth your waiting frustration levels...

hang in there and just be glad its not a Vetta... ; )

i can only imagine the cab DEP's are using more DSP than able to keep the 300/400 realtime so they have to optimize anything they can to get it back in spec, OR they basically shelved it and have the team working on other things.

If so- Most good engineers would have added in "extra" amounts of Ram into the design, just for these later updated adds and patches. At least the ones without a budget axed pocketbook from the beginning would... It seem they did do this for the Spider Amps.... ; ) I mean, Just think what an extra 512 meg of ram would have allowed the 500 to do, in creating our patches... No more DSP limits im thinking. And what is a 512 meg stick these days, 5 bucks if that much??? I'll give them the a small excused benefit by saying hindsite is 20/20... That is, if so and YMMV as always....

By my count, it has been 10 weeks since V2.0 was released and still we (HD300/400 users) wait for our update.  Coming soon my arse!

 

Any of the Line6 guys around to provide an official update as to when or if an update is actually coming?  If it is, will it contain the same feature set as the 500/pro release?

 

If its going to be a while or be a reduced feature set release you might as well let us know now.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Plexi model and the DEP editing.

It does seem to be taking them a while.  I own the smallest Fender Mustang, too, and while I much prefer the Line 6 HD models to those, I will say that in the 1 1/2 years I've owned that amp, they've had several software upgrades, including adding a few features that we requested in the forums!  With the exception of the Fender models, the HD is my clear preference, but Fender seems pretty responsive to customer desires, as long as they are within reason...well, there is one issue folks don't seem to be getting satisfaction on, but apart from that...

Surprised noone has said anything.....

now that its RELEASED!
