Hi,

 

I just wanted to share my disapointement (As I can't find any commerical service) about what happened to me, here's the story : I first had a POD HD500, but I sold it one year later because I wanted to do some reamping with a POD HD Pro plugged with S/PDIF (Best quality signal) in my RME Fireface . Of couse I asked questions first and did a lot of researches about reamping with POD HD.

 

After I finally bought a POD HD Pro I spent a hell of a week trying to get the POD working with S/PDIF syncronised with my sound card, I find out that the POD HD Pro doesn't work at 44.1kHz sampling rate if you plug S/PDIF In and Out (It works with In OR Out thought). Only 96kHz, or the noises it makes are just unbelievable. Of course all of my Logic projects are saved at 44.1kHz so I can't do anything with the POD plugged with S/PDIF... (Except live use, which is not my goal)

 

 

Of course I contacted Line 6 support and RME support the same day. Something like 3 days later we already shared many emails with RME support, they told me to try this and that but they ended saying the problem is from the POD (I'm always careful because sometimes brands only try to get away with customer's problem they can't solve), then Line 6 support answered me once like one week later with basic questions, I answerd back, sending all the emails shared with RME thinking that would help, but the guy just stopped answering me...

 

So it seems that all the POD HD Pros can't work with S/PDIF at 44.1kHz (If it works for you, let me know), which is totally crazy, and there's no warning about that. Great.

 

I was so angry and disapointed I sold it back and bought an Eleven Rack that totally fills my needs and dreams so far ! 

 

 

I had planned to buy a XD V75 wireless mic but I'm not as confident as I was... First I'll probably see what other brands have.

 

 

As I did a lot of researches I know that people with such bad experience with Line 6 are not many, I hope, (And I had a lot of Line 6 gear myself by the past), but this time you screwed it up !

 

 

I hope this will help a few users or Line 6 to fix a few things.

 

 

Thanks for reading.

First off, I'm sorry that you had such severe issues with your HD Pro.

However, I don't really see why having such a technically specific issue with the HD Pro where there are a distinct amount of variables that could cause an issue, would then cause concern on purchasing another completely unrelated product from Line 6 that is designed to one thing and from what I can gather, does that one thing really rather well .... especially as you state that you aware that people who have bad experiences with L6 equipment are few and far between....
