Same problem here. Since there is no official announcement on the front page of this website I recently did a search and found the following articles explaining why this problem occurs: Line 6 Monkey Discontinued Making Line 6 Monkey Work and here the new app to update your device: Line 6 Central app now available you can find all the above articles here: General FAQ PS: and in case you also need to use the License Manager app, know that you must manually download the latest version available from this site otherwise it will not work _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

The Pitch Glide effect has a "mix" parameter that allows you to mix the unaffected sound with the transposed one as you like, and this would be the simplest solution. But if you need 2 separate outputs, one of which is transposed, then the only solution (DSP resources available allowing) is to create 2 same parallel chains, one in Path A and the other in Path B and put the pitch glide only in one of these, and in the mixer block make sure that one Path goes all the way to the left output and the other to the right one. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

In the pic below here you can see what the original tremolo bar on my Variax 700 looks like: Doing a quick Google search for "5mm threadless tremolo bar" among the various results I found for example the following one which seems very similar: https://www.amazon.it/Musiclily-Tremolo-Inossidabile-Wilkinson-Originale/dp/B095K1R9B4?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A14FQ8U68D49ZO

as written at page 2 of the POD 2.0 pilot's guide: (available here: https://l6c-acdn2.line6.net/data/6/0a060b316ac34f0593b343dc6/application/pdf/POD 2.0 Pilot's Guide ( Rev B ).pdf) 11. Amp Models – You have a selection of 32 Amp Models from this knob. To access models 17-32, hold down the TAP button and turn the Amp Models knob. When you choose an Amp Model, a Cabinet Model is also loaded automatically. You can choose a different cabinet via the Effects (CAB Select) knob.

Actually there is no separate CAB block in the HD series, the CAB is just one of the parameters of the AMP model block. However, simply placing the spring reverb block just before the Deluxe Reverb model block still gives a very similar result to the original built into the real amp. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Great! I didn't realize that the "Making Line 6 Monkey Work" post is from Line6 and is in the Knowledge Base > General FAQ section of this site, when you mentioned it in a previous post I thought you were referring to a user post.. I'm glad you found the solution and solved the problem. Your post with instructions above here will certainly be helpful to others. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Fortunately I already have everything updated and installed including the model packs on my HD500X some time ago. After reading this post I tried to use the Monkey app and although it recognizes everything connected and installed a warning appears: "Could not connect to the Line 6 server to determine if updates are available." I used also the License Manager and it is working fine, everything recognized and authorized. So I looked around in the DOWNLOADS section of this site and downloaded and installed an app that also seems to work for this device, but never considered or used before: "Line6 Central", and unlike Monkey it seems to work fully even if it is only useful for updating the hardware of the device and nothing else. If by any chance your POD still needs the latest firmware v. 2.62 which is absolutely necessary to be able to use the model packs perhaps this could be a solution to unblock the authorization procedure via License Manager.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

I have a worn out HD500 (as a backup) and an HD500X. The sounds you can get are as good today as they were when the device was current. Current modelers surely have some additional features, the most used and appreciated of which is the ability to load the impulse responses you want to get more cab emulations in addition to the stock ones. Note that many of the presets in the "Variax" setlist (based on the last firmware version), even if originally dedicated to the use of a Variax, are also good for traditional guitars, and are probably the best ever built by Line6 for this device. On my site some of those presets are listed with some info and references to the songs that inspired them: --> Best patches by Line6 As for presets for sounds like Lincoln Brewster here is an example of what you get with a search on CustomTone, listed in order of rating: --> POD HD500 compatible tones matching Lincoln Brewster Having said that I always prefer to build my own presets from scratch (or by modifying my own presets), based on my touch and equipment. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Yes, it will.. The Variax JTVs were released before the HD500X therefore at that time they were normally connected to the HD500 for power and editing. A problem of missing full functionality exists only for owners of the first generation Variax guitars (ie those that existed before JTVs) if they are connected to the HD500X as they are still powered but editing via POD as an interface to the to the proper workbench app is no longer possible where instead editing from JTV generation onwards would be.

I'd probably build a chain like this: Whammy pedal-->Sub Octave Fuzz-->Phaser-->Low gain Amp on the edge of breakup-->Delay-->Reverb I don't have Helix Native but I think the basic idea above should work well.. I'm still using a POD HD500X whose controls respond differently than on the Helix so it would be useless to share any detailed settings.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Since the Ethernet cable without ends must first be inserted into a part of the Ethercon Canon casings (the part that then simply has to be screwed on) it is necessary to have an RJ45 crimping tool to build the complete (cable + RJ45 connectors) Ethernet cable from scratch and only then attach the final part of the Canon casings. If you want to avoid DIY, you can find, for example, on Amazon ready-made Ethercon cables available in various lengths at affordable prices that work well. Here in Italy I found this: DG Systems - Cavo Ethercon schermato per AES50, Dante, ArtNet, Madi, ACE - Made in Italy (5 mt)

You can get a CAT5 or CAT5e ethernet cable of the length you want and put Ethercon Canon casings on its ends.
