Perry Mason: Dr. Guitarist, you are an expert on digital guitar amp modeling?

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: It has been said so.

Perry Mason: When you purchased the modeler called "The HD500" from the Line 6 collection, it was in the belief that real tube tone was dead?

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: Yes.

Perry Mason: As you previously stated, you were the unwitting victim of a fraud.

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: Well, obviously. They never did the updates on time.

Perry Mason: As you were when you bought a forged GT-13 on ebay?

Hamilton Fractal: Your Honor, we protest.

Judge: The witness will answer the question.

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: Well, I...

Perry Mason: Dr. Kenyon, did you not buy on ebay an alleged guitar amp modeler called the GT-13?

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: Yes, I did.

Perry Mason: Are you aware that the genuine GT-13 is in a private studio in London?

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: But I found that out later.

Hamilton Fractal: Your Honor, we protest this irrelevant attempt to degrade a witness for the state.

Judge: Since this is related to probity of the expert witness, I find it most relevant and illuminating. Continue, Mr. Mason.

Perry Mason: Was Mr. Roland blackmailing you in order to promote his career, Dr. Guitarist?

Dr. Vincent Guitarist: I won't answer! I won't!

This thread is getting really funny. thanks for the laugh . On a serious note I actually won't speculate this time because I feel that line 6 has established themselve again as a very cool company whatever that means. I owned the HD300, sold it and then updated to the HD500 and I honestly think that what they have just done,  demonstrates to me that they are a very special company and that's a primary reason why they are more successful than other companies. Line 6, you made me a very happy customer and take as much time as you like to update of the HD500, you are a bunch of nice guys and wish all other companies can learn from you. Thank you for making an outstanding piece of gear.(HD series)

I have something to say to all the HD500 owners waiting for a firmware update. Patience is good and $%^*&$ *(^#$%@ &%%$#^%  &&&&* well worth the wait!!

The original post suggested he had inside info that the new models were coming.

Really? Maybe I'm not that good finding secret messages hidden in text...

Again, without any serious EQ, the HD500 it will be an unfinished tool for me ... new amps, cool, but why not put in a 4th wheel before boosting the car ?

offering 29 amps in the low end and 25 for the top end.... that is completely backwards and a sign of incompetence..

Oh no!  Those incompetent fools gave the customer something!  For free!  The horror!
