jpdennis Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Crazy question. I purchased a new POD HD500X from GC Sunday as in 5 days ago Feb 2016. When I first installed the necessary software from Line 6 (Monkey, Edit, drivers, etc.) and successfully connected my unit the screen in Line 6 Monkey said the firmware was version 1.00 - not 0.00 as if it didn't see it. So question, when did firmware 1.00 get released and did I really purchase a new unit or was it some old stock, in the back under the stairwell, waiting to see the light of day release? It did update to version 2.62.00. I had the same thing happen in Jan. 2010 when I purchased my first M13 and, due to many issues I discovered in the first 10 days) it had to be sent to Line 6 three weeks later at which time Line 6 (thank you Tony) sent me a brand new doubly inspected unit just out of production. So, back to firmware version. Anyone have an answer as to what firmware you had if and when you purchased a new HD500X in the past three months (Dec 2015 to Feb 2016)? Thanks, Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Version 1.0 was released 7/10/13. It could be older stock, but it probably doesn't make any difference if it is. When I bought mine, sometime early 2014, it had either 1.0 or 1.1 on it. Probably 1.1 because I always download the files and keep them and the first one I have is 1.2.

pianoguyy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I thought L6 ships all of them with the original firmware. And it is up to you to upgrade the firmware. However, new vs new. That is a problem that has plagued businesses and customers for a long time. A new unit is one that has not been sold. It is not the latest product to come in.
