I normally use Studio Direct and I not checked this.

Today I did the update of Flash Memory v2.10 to v2.32 and the sound of POD HD 500 has changed a lot and became very bad.
After the update, I did the "Global Reseting" then recalibrated the pedal and did the restoration of my "Bundle"

So when I connected the POD HD500 into an amp, I realized that the sound was horrible, very acute and with no required modulations, including the preset sounds.

So what do I do?
Rollback the Flash Memory v2.10 or what?

l have for two years a POD HD500 and the last flash memory I have installed is v.2.10.
v.2.20 had not interest for me, so, I didn't installed it.
Now, Line 6 appeared with the v2.31 flash memory, including proposing the exchange of v2.20 to v.2.31.

My POD HD500 works fine with the flash memory v.2.10.
So, what I do??
I Keep the flash memory v2.10 or I exchange to v2.31??
There would be some advantage in this exchange?

I suggest  you connect the Pod output in the return jack of the valveking and check it out the sound.

I thought Line 6 had fixed this issue in the POD HD500X.
2 years ago I created a topic about this issue in the POD HD500 (I don't know where is it).

I solved the issue opening the POD and unscrewing the two sensors screws of the pedal and cleaning it with a paper soft handkerchief.

Today I think that the issue was fixed not by the cleaning, but by the fact of unscrewing and screwing back the two sensors screws.

Anyway, is inadmissible that Line 6 had not fixed this issue in a new product.

The only function of the TRS stereo jack is connect the battery when a plug P10 monaural is inserted and disconnect the battery when the plug P10 monaural is removed of the guitar.
The PRS Torero already comes with a TRS stereo jack, so you can use any monaural guitar cable without problem to connect the guitar to a POD HD500.
