I've been using my HD500 for a while now and have been collecting patches, bundles and custom tones.  I just got around to loading the setlist that someone here made and posted that was 16 full amps.  They also made one with the pre-amps .  Wow!  Thanks so much for all of that work!  I now have 88 amps at the click of a button.  There were 16 amps, 4 settings in each number and I've now added the other 6 amps on another setlist.  It is great to be able to try out each amp with different drive settings.  I've been tweaking the patches of course to go with my set-up.

I have experienced the ear piercing squealing 2 times and have since stopped using HD Edit in my headphones until this is fixed, (as per the email sent) this is a side note as most of the posts seem to be a problem or negative and I wanted to post some positive things about my experiences with the HD500.  I'm also really looking forward to the update as I am now using the HD500 for electric, acoustic, vocal and bass and to do 2 channel recording into Reaper.  I initially bought this to replace my Boss GT8 for effects only and have been blown away by the HD500's versitility.

My set-up is a Crate Power Block into a Celestion 112 150watt 8ohm in a custom cab.  I have the HD500 set to studio/direct and am using the effects loop of the Power Block as the input for the HD500.  This is the best sound for me so far.  I also use a Peavey Valveking into a custom 212 but like the sounds I get from the Power Block better.

Thanks again for that effort as it must have taken a while to get this setlist together.

There is a great community here and I rarely post as my questions are usually answered before I get a chance to post them.

Cheers,
