I don't have time to find links, but I think if you'd look around, this statement would easily be proven false

Thats a pretty flat statement judging by your time limitations, as vaild a statement as mine was then,  wouldnt you say phil?

And didnt you catch the "most not all" statement i made did you, or are you now suggesting the exact thing I am blaming the "Experts" here for,  just couldnt happen from anyone at anytime? Really?

In that case, thats more than just a flat statement phil. Its asinine and wrong. I HAVE looked around phil, and the only one here that has EVER qualified their non negative ALL the time posts here to me was Zap.

The Stepford Wives syndrom is what it reminds me of. And now that you deny it happening makes it ever so much more humorous to me phil...

Look, we all want the same thing from Line 6. Fix and update our Pods. But ALSO here,  people depend on what those name tags you have above you name, to mean what they say. Line 6 makes good stuff, but they are not perfect. And if you cant come clean and have ANY negatives "AT ALL" to state about anything Line 6 does here for us to read, then what valid good is that title you carry? Its not all good, all the time. Cant be. Putting more stuff in the 3/400 versus the 500 proves that, even if its short lived and a minor thing atm. So post all your negatives about Line 6 here phil, and prove me wrong.... Ive been wrong before so its all good.  But I would like to re-read them for my own edification...

Mr Arkadin, I agree 100 percent.

What irks me is when someone here suggests what Im saying has never happened....  And, there may indeed be reasons behind it as you and I stated. But it "has" happened and without qualifing its reason, tends to look very one sided. Thats all im saying. Thanks for your explanation and opinions.

im not getting into any of that... its not the point. but what if i do think it makes them inferior? you dont mean to say my opinion isnt valid because it doesnt match yours, do you?

Sure you're entitled to your opinion, but I have a hard time believing that these extra amp models are going to make the 300 and 400 seem superior to the other PODs to many people. I suppose if they're important to you, they're important to you. They aren't models I'd probably ever use. But even so, the other are simply vastly superior in what they offer as far as routing and effects capability.

It will soon be a moot point anyway...

I'm not about to spend time digging through my old posts - but I have agreed with everyone about improving the EQs and changing the silly % instead of dB values etc. And no, I don't understand why it was done this way and why it hasn't been addressed - even as Experts we're on the fringes of the loop so to speak. But like phil I don't see the 300/400 having extra amps (and the Soldano is three channels of the same amp) for a brief time undervalues the 500 - it still has dual amps and movable effects, so is still far superior to the 300/400 in my book.

After reading all of this, I understand why 500 users (as myself) are ****** off.

I mean... as it has been said before, the flagship is meant to be the first to get the updates. It happens with other kind of products as well (as cellphones, tablets, computers, etc...). Even though doing this could generate complaints (you know, look at what happened to the last update for the JTVariax, people loved the new acoustic models but hated the 12-string models... Line 6 had to release a new firmware to kinda fix this).

I really can't understand why they decided to release it for the 300/400 series. I don't really mind as long as we don't have to wait over a month or two. Maybe they were writing the new firmware for the HD300/400 when the other team had finished writing the new amp models. That could be a simple and clean explanation.

Now, as a HD500 user... I DO think Line6 should prioritize it's high end modeler or, in cases like this, give an approx. time of release for the update. "Soon" is not good enough, sorry. I have always been supportive with Line6 but there are things that should never happen in business. Just look at Google, they will release their new OS (4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean) in their OWN new tablet, the Google Nexus 7 (which is their flagship, meant to be the Amazon Kindle Fire rival -or killer-), and THEN will extend the upgrade for the people currently using Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3), and after that... to those using Gingerbread (2.3). IMHO, thats how it should be...

But anyway, as someone else said, we shouldn't be ungrateful. Line6 is giving us more than we actually were supposed to get, so I'm happy with that. At least we ain't paying for FX bundles, if you know what I mean

The only question I have is... why can't we have the Bronze Master (featured in the FX Infusion 2.0 for spider valve amps). I would even pay for it xD

No POD v2.x for you..........2 weeks!!!!!
