New to 500x

[Markeje]

Hello - I recently purchased a HD 500x used and just a had a couple of questions. 

 

Can I use 500 customtones on the 500X? Is it just a matter of changing the file extension to do so? 

Also, if I register the 500x will it allow me to download the customtones? Keeps asking me to register. What if it was already registered byt he previous owner?

 

Thanks, NFG

yes you can just change the files extensions and use them.... (it is unsupported but should mostly work.)

you don't HAVE to register... but it will stop bothering you if you do...

if the previous owner registered it you may just have to open a support ticket and have Line6 help you with that.

I have a 500, not the X. But I don't need to change extensions. I just insert the files. 

Of course, I will point out, that I will also save files that I decide to keep, which makes them 500 files. So, I don't know if I would have any long term issues using the wrong formats. 

Also, I use the 'drop and drag' method, not the double-click or file/open method. 

 

 

I had no problem registering my (used) device. 

And when it comes to downloading from Customtone, you can download (to the pc) whatever you want. Cookies is why you open up Customtone and it is automatically selected for one unit or the next. I don't use cookies, so I always have to re-set the unit search.
