Hello,

Bought a PodXT recently and I've been trying to update the firmware from 1.xx to 3.01. I've got the latest drivers so I can get the PodXT to connect through Monkey and show the ESN, but there's just nothing shown under the items tab where I'm expecting info about the device to be displayed. I've done lots of googling but can't seem to find anyone who's had this exact problem, I know this thing is going on 20 years old and I don't expect Line 6 support to offer help but there has to be someone else who's had this issue before.

Any advice is much appreciated!

I'd like to put the model packs I have left onto it, but need the updated v3.

I tried using the workaround that Line 6 provided, but that's a no go.  Trying to update to USB 1.12 still tries to hit the server, which is long gone, and there is no option to choose the v3 file "offline" as suggested in the workaround.

It's really not a big deal if it can't be updated but why not try, ya know?  

I'm pleased to announce version 0.4.0 of pod-ui, a cross-platform tool for controlling POD2.0 modelling app. It's an open-scource app available for Linux, Windows and MacOS. Please check out the release page and download the binary for your platform. I'm just one guy with one POD and would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from Windows and MacOS users.

Currently, the app supports controlling POD in real-time as well as loading POD patches from the device and storing them back to the device. I would love to add lib and l6t file loading in the future as well as support for other Line6 device.

The pre-compiled binaries on the release page include sentry support, which means that if and when the app crashes, a crash report will be uploaded to the cloud. Otherwise the app does not collect or send any data anywhere else.

Hello everyone, I bought the MIDI ms1 adapter plus the m vave chocolate to control my pod 2.0. I managed to get it working quickly but the banks are switched. For example, while the pod shows 1b, the chocolate shows 1c, and so on, always switched. How can I align this information? Thank you

Is the PODxtlive not compatible with Windows 10. The drivers are not included in the download?

My line 6 pod xt will not boot up. The display lights up but doesn't show anything. The red lights flash on and of repeatedly. 

Any ideas?

I am just running this by the forum to make sure I got this all figured out correctly in my head...

So, I own the regular PODxt (red bean) for years now and have the Triple Pack Bundle loaded onto it.

Recently, I bought a used PODxt live (Firmware V2.14) that also has the packs installed. It's in almost new condition and I love it!

Here are my questions:

1. The PODxt live (Firmware V2.14) only has one wahwah pedal model and I can't choose other wah pedal models. In order to get access to the additional wahwah models, I would have to upgrade to the latest firmware, given I find an old computer to run Monkey, correct?
2. If I do upgrade the PODxt live to the latest firmware, can I load the Triple Pack Bundle I already purchased for the PODxt (bean) onto the PODxt live as well?
3. I am asking because the Triple Pack Bundle Overview site only lists PODxt and PODxt Pro and does not specifically mention PODxt live  (see attached screenshot).

I appreciate all the feedback!

Thanks and keep rocking!

I also have in a drawer an old black&red UX1....I think will be the same right?

am I correct? If I find a more recent pedalboard maybe in the second hand market (in a store, ebay...) is there a specific model where I can find podfarm 2 bundled? for example from pod hd 500x I can find it? or it is always to be buyed ?

thanks a lot.

although I am able to run the Line 6 License Manager 1.16 and activate my MacBookPro (macOS Sonoma 14.7.4) as a device and was able to install the Line 6 Audio-Midi Driver 7.6.8 package, my PODxt live does not show up as an output device in my Sound settings. Also, although I can see the 'Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices' menu in the Systems Settings, the systems panel does not load or recognize the connected PODxt live (see attached picture). The free POD-UI v1.5.1 software is able to detect the PODxt live just fine and I am able to read and edit patches using POD-UI v1.5.1 .

Does anyone know how I can setup the PODxt live as an audio output the device? My main goal is to play along songs or YouTube tutorial using headphones connected to the PODxt live.

Thanks a lot!

I've recently been downsizing, and I decided I should try to fix it so I can sell it and move on. I paid $150 but even if I could sell it for $100 in current condition I'd just do that. But I'm going to see what I can do anyway.

See the attached photos, and I'd appreciate if anyone could help me determine if this has any impact on the parts, or if it doesn't and it really could be just a bad cable or harness.

I have downloaded files from the custom tone page.  They are *.l6T format.  I have Soundiver installed but it does not recognise the file format.

I want to load up my POD2.0 with settings for upcoming gigs..HELP!

Installed Line 6 Monkey v1.77 get 'Could not make a connection to the Line 6 web server' 'Code 800001019 Unrecognized file type'.

Installed Line 6 Drivers v4.2.7.7 wouldn't install the drivers L6POD64.sys & L6PODLV64.sys. I had to switch off the Core isolation in my Memory integrity (thinking I'd be able to switch it back on after the drivers were installed). The drivers did install but my Memory integrity can't be switched back on because of incompatible drivers & I haven't figured out how to manually delete them yet.

Installed Line 6 Updater v1.28 after logging in I see 'Select device to update' but there's nothing to choose.

Installed Line 6 Edit but get 'This application requires a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.

I'm on Windows 11 & obviously running the latest 64-bit Java.

The only thing I did get to work is Line 6 Licence Manager v1.16, my PODxt Live is Authorized.

I've had a blue screen of death twice already, I don't want to mess up my computer for this & spend more hours getting nowhere. I just wanted to reset my PODxt & play guitar do you know what I mean? Shall I just bin this & go back to BOSS?

When I call up a patch while playing, it will sound OK for the first few seconds and then lose some volume and sound really dull.

Also when I have selected a patch the screen on the pod will change between the name of the patch and the dialling buttons (like when you edit the patch) I hope this makes sense.

It will keep on doing this constantly. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

Because for the moment I am thinking of throwing the whole unit out and getting a different one as I am gigging 2 / 3 times a week I have to be able to trust on my gear.

Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Now I use a small 20 watts Fender amp with lots of pedals. These pedals include a dual distortion pedal (Blackstar)

that I programmed a Blues and a Rock preset for my playing style needs.

But I find these distortion presets not as good as the same type of presets I had in my Flextone II.

So.. oone year a go I purchased a used Pod2 that I knew I could download my early Flextone presets in.

And it worked ! Doing that I remembered how good both my Flextone distortion presets sounded ..

Now I'm thinking of replacing my existing Blackstar dual distortion pedal with the Pod2 I have.

But... I'd like to know if LINE 6 has some newer pedals I could place my original Flextone presets into.

So far both the Flextone and Pod2 used MIDI preset transfer using the LINE6 Edit software.

But I saw some LINE6 pedal still use MIDI connectors.

So any idea of newer compatible LINE6  pedals ?

which forum members may be able to provide.

I saw a highly rated US studio guy the other day using a HD-500X....would I be better off with one of these? One of the main reasons I am attracted to the XT-live is the foot switches look more robust and I have heard the switches they used for a period (M9, M13 etc) were troublesome. Just bare in mind I am pretty old skool guy. Not looking for deep ambient reverbs, zany nods etc. Just really decent basic effects AKA Boss pedals. Any advice appreciated.

Starting in the lower left bottom of the dial with LINE 6 CLEAN, then moving up clockwise to the top of the dial with MODERN CLASS A, and then down clockwise to FUZZ BOX and finally TUBE PREAMP. All that makes sense according the AMP MODELS chart.

But on that same chart, there's a subsequent, secondary list of amp models. Starting with (LIne 6 Clean) Line 6 Twang. The Small Tweed identified as 1952 Tweed Deluxe before, is now identified as Small Tweed #2 in this secondary list as a '60 Tweed Champ. The Black Panel in the first list is a Blackface Deluxe. In this second list, the Black Panel is now a '65 Blackface Twin.

So, my question is: how do you access these secondary amps?

Thanks.

I just got my first Line 6 pod 2.0. Here is my newb question. I'm trying to access amp models 17-32. I've read the manual. I'm holding the tap when changing the knob. It changes nothing. Also how do you know when you are using the 17-32 amps? Is there an indicator light?

Thanks

Thanks

I have a Line 6 Pocket Pod.

I am trying to use it without DC power.

I changed the batteries, cleaned the battery compartment.

When I plug my guitars (regular and bass) in, nothing happens.

The cable is a mono cable (only 1 black circle on the sleeve).

What am I doing wrong?

The unit works well with DC.

Thank you for your help.

I know the answear is somewhere in here, but eather im too lazy or stupid to find it. But eather ways i would really need your help... I just bought used pod xt pro ad im using akai eie pro as an audio interface. The problem is how do i connect them? I can get the sound from pod if im using heaphones with it, but i cant get any sound trough interface/speakers....

-Miikka 

1. Output Mode System: the instruction manual is either a little vague or my unit has an issue (possibility that i am vague too LOL). The manual says i can select which speaker combo/amp like 2x12 etc. Except these options don't come up when turning the effect tweak dial. The only options i can select re the low/mid/high

2. UPDATES: been trying to use the line6 monkey software to update. My xt display shows version 3.01 and usb v1.12.

Cheers, stru

Is it possible to totally bypass the speaker cabinet as I want to use my Celestion IR's

Thanks

I've tested my Tool up to Windows 10 64 bits.

POD-Control is tailored to my personal needs. May be that I expand the
functionality in the future but everything I need is working.

You can use it free of charge. Use it on your own risks.

Please read the attached PDF because i'm using MIDI-OX for the MIDI-Communication.

If you have trouble to get it working please watch my YouTube-Video for my DEQ2496-Control tool.

The installation process is the same because i'm using the same method to communicate.

Please note: The main reason for communication problems in Windows 10/11 is the MIDI-Interface!

Kind regards
BigD

My signal chain is:

Guitar -> POD XT Live -> Mooer Radar (IR Loader) -> FRFR Speaker

I have turned off the cab sim in the POD itself.

Now I wanna get correct the output mode for my case, I read the manual but I'm kinda confused.

Thanks in advance!

I had a rummage through the forum and couldn't find anything similar :-/

The problem: Pedal C and Modulation pedal both don't work: no light when pressed; no change to function; i,e, Rest of the unit can't see those 2 pedals being pressed.

Everything else works fine.

What happened?  The power supply socket on the motherboard came a bit loose, and power was cutting in and out.

- I opened the POD. Got the motherboard out. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE RIBBON CABLE from the motherboard (the one that goes to the two pedal banks. Also disconnected the ribbon cable at the Volume/wah pedal end.

- Unsoldered the power socket from the motherboard - it did have a broken leg. Soldered in a new one - power was all good after that.

But..... Having put the motherboard back into the top half of the POD body, and reconnected the ribbon cables, although the power is fine, and all the functions work, Two pedals don't work: Pedal C and the Modulation Pedal. i.e. the LED doesn't come on, and the functions don't change.  ALL the other pedals and functions are fine.

I used a circuit tested to confirm that the buttons behind the two offending pedals are both fine - they behave exactly like all the other buttons when they're attached to the circuit tested and pushed.

So, I suspect there's a problem either in the ribbon cable, or somewhere beyond that.

...and that's where I'm stuck.

Help!!

Is it time to sell this XT Live for spares? Is there an easy fix?  Something else???

Thanks in advance :-)

The current installers on their own will throw errors or simply won't work... but it all has to do with the JAVA pointers in the installation. They simply don't "point" to the right locations anymore. 

1. Download an older 32 bit JAVA installation....
   • Visit this site...  (note. This may change in time, don't count on it being here forever)
     https://www.oracle.com/ca-en/java/technologies/oracle-java-archive-downloads.html
   • Click on the JAVA SE 6 link   (you can try something higher if you want, but I know this one works which is why I mention it)
   • Navigate to the "Windows x86" package and download it. 
   • Install this package
2. Download 'LINE 6 EDIT" from the Line 6 download area. 
   • Choose "Line 6 Edit" from the SOFTWARE dropdown
   • Choose "Windows 7" from the OS dropdown 
   • Click GO
   • Now download the WINDOWS 3.04 version of Line 6 EDIT  (don't download the MAC version in error)
   • Install the software, but uncheck the option to install JAVA

Line 6 Edit should now load and find a connected device that is supported.

Thank you for your time and patience in advance.

Personally - I think they should be offered for download...

Input to norm for mag pickup guitars, pad for my active EMG equipped guitars, will also be using a variax 300 soon as well

output switch to line level

output level as needed ( how loud idk)

L mono out to amp input (Marshall 8080 combo, using effects return jack, 0db/-20db switch to 0db, this should be line level input?)

Should I turn off or use cab/ir models? I'm thinking in this configuration I'm not really using the amp as a guitar amp, but really more like a powered speaker (power amp and speaker only), or is it still coloring the sound as its a guitar cabinet and speaker?

How am I doing so far?

Please help. My Line 6 POP XT stopped working. Only a blank yellow display appears and no channel memory numbers. All voltages are fine but the LM317 gets very hot.

The device pass an audio signal so it can be connected between the guitar and the amp but is completely non-functional. As soon as I plug it in, only a few red LEDs light up in the top row (bank ^) and nothing else works.

The three transistors Q4,5,6 do not supply voltage to the 11 pin 7 segment display. The resistance of R95 is 3.6K even though it should be 4.3K

Any advice on where I should try looking for the problem?

Has anyone done this and/or are there any schematics for the POD XT anywhere?

Obviously I don't know if the problem is outgoing or incoming. She turns on quietly. I have read that a 9v a.c power supply is used and that is what is used. I tried to open it to see if there was something missing, but to the eye everything looks ok. Some time ago my father sprayed the contact cleaner product inside the jack inputs. I am attaching the photos I took inside on the central plate.
Hope someone who had the same problem can help me solve. Thanks so much everyone for the help.

Also, I found the PRESETS list but there are NOT the full 300 presets in there.

Does anyone have the list/description for BANDS, STYLES groupings and just a FULL list/description of each?
