Yes I read that. The Peter Green one is the only custom guitar, the rest are standard models. -
Well this is the 6th flash update so far isn't it? I don't recall how many of them I had already installed but for sure this was the first one that drastically altered the tone- at least in my experience anyway. Maybe you misunderstand my comment about turning up to the next gig- obviously I played the guitar when I updated it, it was in my hand at the time, hooked up through my HD500, but not at stage volume. I can understand if you believed I flashed the memory without checking it had worked, but that is not what I said. Because of the usb issue I didn't have time to find the interface so I could gen up on the new workbench and restore my custom settings ( for ease of use I have the neck and bridge LP, Strat 4th position, electric 12 string and Peter Green's LP in a single bank ) but my Pod is programmed to switch guitars according to the patch I select. (the custom bank is just to give easy access to alternatives regardless of the patch I'm using eg Pink Floyd stuff where I've programmed a strat but sometimes switch to a LP during solos for that bit of extra sustain) Make no mistake, forwards is the only direction I am interested in...otherwise I may as well go back to my Ibanez which is lighter and much easier to play but doesn't have the versatility obviously...so 2.0 is staying- at least until 2.x comes out...lol

I don't want to add fuel to the (dwindling) fire but..... Given that the title of this thread refers to 'update disappointments' I consider the response to my comments from the 'experts' to be inappropriate and patronising to say the least when I was merely pointing out unexpected issues with the update I applied. I've been playing guitar in bands for 36 years so I am not going to be lectured on how I should prepare for gigs. You may be experts in your field but so am I in mine. I am a Line 6 customer and expect a more measured response from their representatives (employed or not these guys carry the Line6 logo below their avatar) and the evident opinion that if something is not right it must be the customer's fault is not acceptable.

I have on many occasions gigged with an unknown guitar, but I wasn't expecting to do that last saturday....lol....in fact some of my best performances have been off-the-cuff using someone else's instrument! However I do think Line6 have been rather premature releasing this update for the reasons already suggested and expect I am not the only user who wishes they hadn't bothered.....not yet anyway.

Hi TheRealZap Sorry but why didn't they fix these issues BEFORE releasing the update? (usb limitation, spank quack settings and who knows what else that they obviously already knew about) As regards the guitar models, the Lester ones have hardly been improved that much if the sustain has disappeared. I hadn't needed to tweak the sounds before so why should I need to now? The only customisation I had made before was to put 5 of my standard guitars into one place for ease of access in a live situation. The JTV is fantastic but what I really want is the output options for my HD500 sorted, though presumably that isn't going to happen now. Finally I find it disappointing that as a representative of Line6 you feel it appropriate to insult customers when they dare to make comments not necessarily praising their efforts. This is supposed to be a forum for expresing opinions and exchanging information. Thank you John

Number one: not being able to plug my guitar into the PC through my HD500. What is the point of customizing guitar settings when I can't play them through my Pod? Number two: I did the update, then turned up to my next gig and found my sound was tinny, pathetic and lacking sustain. Admittedly the acoustic patches were clearer, but everything else was bright with no balls....
