Rather than checking for differences between just the editor pages when you change the way you select presets, you should check for differences between what you see in the editor and in the POD display. My suspicion is that the preset was not sent correctly to the device before trying the two different selection methods. (Are you sure you are using the right procedure to send the preset to the POD?). When you select via the footswitches the POD reads the preset saved in its memory and not the one you are still seeing in the editor, so if there are any differences between the two you will be hear them (differences which as I already said should be visible anyway between what you see in the editor and in the POD display). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

The tuner included in the POD only recognizes the signal passing through input1 (so it never recognizes the signal passing through input2). So, for the tuner to actually work, in the preset input settings you need to make sure that input1 is set to (or includes in the case of multiple source selection) the source currently used (in this case "Variax"). My hypothesis therefore is that when you tried to use the POD tuner you were using a preset with the inputs set as input1=guitar/input2=variax, that's why the tuner didn't work (with the Variax), mystery solved if I guessed right. Whoever created/edited that preset wasn't using a Variax and set input2 to Variax (by default input2 would be set to Same) as Null source just to halve the input signal level in the chain. If you like that preset I recommend you reverse its inputs selection to keep the same gain level and have effective use of the tuner. Doing so, your effective source for input1 would be Variax and your Null source for input2 would be Guitar. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Select and use the Compressor effect. Then use the Effect Tweak knob to adjust the amount of sustain you need.

As already stated above by "pianoguyy", by taking advantage of the stereo separation you can pan the output of the patches to the right or left depending on where you want the signal to go (to do this in most cases the MIXER block must be the last one in the chain of your patches to prevent the audio from one channel from also going to the other). But there is also a different solution which does not imply changing the panning in the patches, and that is to put an FX LOOP block at the end of the chain for example in the patches that contain only effects, thus doing the POD output in those patches no longer comes out of the standard outputs but instead comes out of the SEND output (which can be in stereo if desired if a TRS cable is used) on the rear panel of the POD. (The SEND output is provided with a physical switch to change its output level to STOMP or the hotter LINE mode). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Rotary Encoder for HX Stomp / Helix - FOUND!

When I use the hd editor I consider and use it as the main control center of the device and eventually I use the physical footswitches only to turn the effects on and off, never to select a patch. (Maybe this is why I have never had the problem you described). I use the footswitches to select patches only when the editor is off and in any case after the edited patches have been synced correctly. Another thing to consider is that as long as the POD is connected to a computer (with the editor active or not, doesn't matter) its global output volume is always dependent on the setting of the "hardware monitoring level" parameter (normally it should be set to maximum) in the Line6 audio driver control panel. Which thing obviously does not happen when the device is disconnected from the computer and independent. Another thing to check: is the installed editor version the right one? Each new firmware that has been released has always corresponded to a specific new editor version. If the correspondence is missing, anomalous behaviors can occur. Also be careful with patches maybe created with a different firmware and then imported into the editor and device. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

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

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
