More amp on the HD300/400 than the HD500?!!!

Hi, I happened on this and as I didn't find anything about it I hope someone knows something about it....

 

http://fr.line6.com/data/6/0a06434d1022e5005af0121e36/application/pdf/POD%20HD%20Model%20Gallery%20-%20English%20%28%20Rev%20C%20%29.pdf

 

as you'll see the following amps are only for 300 and 400 users? why is that?

 

solo (soldano slo)

line 6 epic

line 6 doom

 

how come the HD300 and 400 have more amps than the 500??? I though all pod were supposed to be the same amp/FX wise

    Firmware updates for the Pod HD300/400 and the Pod HD500/Desktop/Pro come at different times. There is an update for the HD500 expected soon that will add the missing amps.

        i assure you that Line 6 is a profit-seeking organization and aren't sitting on the firmware upgrade just to laugh when ppl like yourself (you're not the first or last to make a thread about this) cry foul.  they know the update will enhance their products, sell more units, and make more profits, and they want to make it available as soon as possible.  but they also want to make sure it doesn't somehow break existing functionality or brick units, flooding their customer service lines and making them liable for a massive number of warranty claims.

         

        just be patient - I'm sure it won't be more than another month or two at most.  If 2013 comes around and the models still aren't available, then you have permission to burn the world.

            It means whatever you want it to mean. If you want it to mean days, then you are likely to be disappointed and feel that Line 6 has failed. If you want it to mean several months you will probably be pleasantly surprised and give Line 6 an 'exceeds expectation'  rating.

             

            .... and so it really means nothing. We'll get it when we get it. No point in speculating or setting any personal expectations.

    What would happen if all these expected improvements didn't appear in the new update?

     

    I'd guess the SLO amp and whatever else the 300/400 units got in their updates will probably be added.  Did the 300/400 get the EQ many people have been writing about?  I don't know as I have the HD500 & HD PRO since their initial release over two years now for the HD500.  I still can't understand why all these units do not have a VDI connector?  But none of the Spider amps did either - so I will guess there must be a reason other than financial for this occurrence.

     

    But what about this "Good EQ" doesn't happen?  What if Line 6 thinks the EQs they have already given with % increase/decrease values are excellent as they see it and choose not to add any new other requested features?  If not all expectations are achieved, does that mean the unit many have had like the gentleman posting here has been using all this time is now rendered useless or unworthy of keeping?

     

    Just curious?
