Might have a bug here on the 3.50 update on the HX Stomp. Update seemed to work just fine until I tried to select the Stomp as the audio device in my DAW (Cakewalk) which locked up. Gave it a few tries to be sure but it's doing it every time.

Thanks for all the replies, people! I guess I could have been a little more specific in my question. But first, Ed_Saxman, I'm afraid I must differ with one thing you said. You see, in my band bass is the lead instrument so I often require much more than the basic effects. Delays, mods, filters, distortions and even those trippy reverbs all form part of my pallet. So that's why the pod is so great. I can use a tonne of fx at any one time and I can switch them in ways that would be impossible without a complex pedal-looping system. In addition to that all my delays are synced to tempo so the pod wins again. But to get to the crux of the matter, my bass rig is a high-powered monster with a great stand-alone tone (Hartke LH1000 into a 900w Lab Systems 6x10 cab) so I feel no need to use any of the amp models at all. I guess I was just concerned with making sure any settings on the pod I was using were optimal considering I don't need any of the amp models.

Hey, I've recently switched from guitar to bass in my band and because I've already got an HD500 I figured I'd just keep on using it. However I feel there is no need to use any amp models as my amp sounds just fine so I'm just using my POD as a multi-fx unit. I'm getting some good results so far but I've noticed that there are many more people who seem to know a lot more about this gear than me so I just thought I'd start this topic. Anyone else using a POD for bass FX only? BTW, despite my low post numbers and reputation, I've been using a POD for a few years so I have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of what I'm doing.
