Didn't try it with my Variax, but I ran through a bunch of presets with my DT-25 hooked up via L6 Link last night, and it worked fine.

Folks

 

Before I take the plunge, is the new FW update for the HD500 stable, or is it going to introduce new issues, like many of Line6's other updates? - I'm referring to the Variax 1.81/1.82 model debacle, for instance.  Any brave souls tried it yet, will you post your experiences?

 

Cheers

I've been updating my POD HD without problems here's  what you need to do if you don't want to run into problems:

1-Update Firmware

2- Perfrom hardware reset by pressing the Left arrow button as you power on pod. If you don't do that your pod might misbehave

3-Calilberate Pedal.

That's it, I bet most people who ran into problems didn't follow these instructions as they should. For more detail
