OP translation: " I ended up buying a Pod HD500X, but it came defective. The expression pedal works when I move it up and down, but I can't turn it on or off using the expression pedal itself. It works for both wah-wah and volume, but I can't switch from wah-wah to volume or vice-versa using the expression pedal. I've already calibrated, formatted, and updated it, but nothing works. I tested the Optek OP580 phototransistor, and they are working because when I use the effect that comes directly from the factory bank, it works; I just can't turn it on or off. I've already cleaned it, sent it for servicing, replaced the capacitor on the pedal's circuit board, and it still doesn't work. When opening the pedal's activation foot, I observed that there are three iron plates that, when pressed, make contact with the board and turn it on and off. I hope to find a solution." --> same spare part for HD500 and HD500X but very hard to find my reply: Always make sure the Wah and Volume are assigned to different EXP modes (1 or 2) and never to the same mode. If the toe switch under the rubber ring for turning the assigned effects on and off and switching between EXP modes (1 or 2) doesn't work, it should be replaced. (However keep in mind that the toe switch, especially if it's relatively new and hasn't been used much, requires a certain amount of force/weight to operate properly, therefore you need to put your weight on the pedal when needed; in the past, some have thinned the rubber ring to make the toe switch less hard to activate.) An alternative solution is to add an external expression pedal so that the onboard pedal always works in one EXP mode and the external pedal in the other EXP mode. However, in this case, to turn the Wah on and off (not necessary also for the Volume), you'll need to assign the Wah effect to one of the unassigned footswitches. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Maybe some computer cleaning has deleted the logs needed for uninstallation. Try installing the same program again and uninstalling it afterwards. Maybe it will fix the problem. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Use the new downloadable Line6 Central program to update your device. Line6 Monkey program is no longer supported..

The POD HD500X provides already both unbalanced jack outputs and balanced XLR outputs. The jack outputs can be set to either LINE or MIC level using the dedicated switch near the expression pedal. The balanced XLR outputs are MIC-level only and are particularly suitable for very long cables. In conclusion, I would say that with the POD HD500X, there's no advantage to adding a DI box. If you want to connect the POD to the mixer's MIC inputs with very long cables, simply use the POD XLR outputs; nothing else is really needed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

The Monkey app is discontinued, if you need to update your device you need to download and install Line6 Central. The driver to make your computer and editor recognize your POD can be easily downloaded from the DOWNLOADS section of this site. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Avoid turning off or disconnecting the device while it is in use by any running application or by the operating system if selected as the primary audio interface. When you close the application that uses the POD wait a moment longer before disconnecting or turning off the device. That said, I still get the BSOD, but very rarely. Also, USB connections are unfortunately too delicate, sometimes even accidentally touching the head of a USB cable that is already inserted can momentarily lose the connection and crash the system. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

thick pick, Les Paul (neck PU on melody, neck or bridge PU on solos), Tube Screamer only on solos, Dimension chorus on arpeggios, Guitar volume reduced a little for all cleaner parts (TS turned off), Marshall amp (preferibly a JTM 45) on the edge of breakup, little delay and reverb depending on the enviroment

By "powering up while pressing the left arrow key" you have done basically a "Global Parameters Reset" but unfortunately in this case it didn't work to solve your boot loop issue. At this point I would suggest to power up while pressing instead the down arrow key for direct access to Flash Memory update mode and then update the firmware through Monkey (at this time possible only in offline mode if you have downloaded the firmware file) or Line6 Central, which procedure would cause a Full Reset of the device. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

You need to use the editor, below are the instructions, when you have done do not forget to use the SEND command to permanently save the changes on your device. Copied and pasted from the POD HD500X Edit Pilot's Guide : “Swap” the Preset settings between two Channel locations: Click on a Preset to select it, then hold your Shift key and click and drag the Preset to the new desired Channel location - either within the same Set List Panel, or into a different Set List Panel. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips
