POD HD v1.31

Version 1.31.00
Released 5/12/11

Works with:
POD HD500
POD HD500 v1.31 is a FREE firmware update that contains several improvements, including new amp models and new deep edit amp parameters. Once you've connected your POD HD500 to your computer via USB port (hubs are not supported), run the Line 6 Monkey application that will recognize your unit and take you through the update process. The Line 6 Monkey application may be downloaded here.

It is highly recommended that all POD HD500 users perform this update. Be sure to update to the latest POD HD500 Edit software as well.

POD HD500 Flash Memory Version 1.31 RELEASE NOTES

What's new since v.1.22?

Changes-
  • J-45 pre-amp model default has channel volume set to 100%.
  • P-75 pre-amp model default has channel volume set to 100%.
  • AC Plate Ripple balanced on all full amp models (assuming Bias is left at 50%). This reduces some idle humming, but retains the character while playing.
  • TRS-jack FX Loop Send is now sending a true stereo signal, not summed mono. If you are using a mono cable, the Left audio path is sent.
  • Improved stability when using certain combinations of presets.
  • Existing amp models appended with 'Brt/Nrm' where appropriate.
Features-
  • New Amp Models

    3. Blackface 'Lux Vibrato (based on the "Vibrato" channel of a Fender® "Blackface" Deluxe Reverb®)
    4. Brit J-45 Nrm (based on the "Normal" channel of a Marshall® JTM-45 MkII)

    6. Line 6 Elektrik (high-gain Line 6 original)
  • New Amp Parameter Controls
    1. Master
    2. Sag
    3. Hum
    4. Bias
    5. Bias X (excursion)
These new amp models and control parameters can be accessed on the POD HD500 hardware, or from the latest version of POD HD500 Edit. For details on how to use these new amp models and parameters see the Advanced Users Guidehere.

A Note about Presets:

Line 6 Monkey will correctly translate your presets created on previous versions of Firmware to include appropriate default settings for the new amp parameters included in the new v.1.31 firmware.

If you've saved Presets created with an earlier versions of POD HD500 firmware and Edit software and want to load them, be sure to use the latest version of POD HD500 Edit (v1.03 or above) software to be sure your presets are being properly translated. Restoring Presets created with earlier versions of POD HD500 firmware using the MIDI sysex dump feature will cause the new amp parameters to be improperly set, incurring unexpected results.
