Friday 29 November will be Black Friday, and usually every year in that period Line6 makes sales for a few days with a 30% discount on model packs. Could be your chance to spend less for the Metal Pack. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Nothing strange, just normal behavior.. If there are already blocks in path A you can drag the amp slot from pre-split position to path A but only after the last block in that path, and then if you want you can move the blocks after the amp slot. Therefore if you start editing a new empty patch (ie with still empty path A) you can drag the amp slot in path A and then add other blocks directly after it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

I see. If I had the same issue I would have done the same as you, since I live in Italy. However, I think you bought already the right encoder model, and I believe it's the same one mounted on different (not all) Variaxes.

I don't really know if it could be applicable and work also for the JTV, but here follows the procedure to calibrate the Model Select Knob of the 500/700 (but it requires the Line 6 XPS box and a TRS cable) (taken from the "Variax Troubleshooting Tips" post) Q: How do I calibrate the Model Select knob on the Variax 500/700? A: Here are the instructions on how to calibrate the Model Select knob on the Variax 500/700: *Please make sure that the output from the Variax 500/700 is plugged into an amplifier or monitoring source to hear the audio beeps from the guitar. 1. Unplug RJ45 cable from guitar. 2. Turn off Power (disconnect "¼" TRS cable from guitar). 3. Turn the volume up. 4. Pull model selector knob "up" and away from the guitar body and set it to position Custom 1. 5. Set pickup selector to 4th (neck-middle) position. 6. Set tone knob to middle position. 7. Turn on power (connect "¼" TRS cable to guitar). ONCE INITIALIZED, YOU WILL HAVE APPROX. 13 SECONDS TO COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE: 8. Turn tone control to min and then max. 9. You will now hear a beep sequence come from the amp or monitor source the Variax is plugged into. (The beeps will NOT come from inside the guitar itself.) 10. Turn model selector from "Custom 1" through all positions up to "Custom 2" this should be timed to approximately 1 second per physical step. (Counting: "one, one thousand", making sure to turn the pot on the one). 11. You will hear a low-high-low beep when completed. 12. Model selector will now be calibrated. 13. Press the Model Select knob back in to the guitar body to the "down" position. If you hear the low-high-low beep prior to completing the entire rotation of the model select knob, unplug the "¼" TRS cable from guitar and start over again until the timing is correct. ____________________________ however in case of need the following spare Model Select encoders from Line6 are not too expensive, description says that they are for the 300/JTV-69, but I strongly suspect that they work fine also on the other JTVs. $ 9 - Line 6 24-12-0016 Model Select Encoder $ 12.50 - Line 6 50-02-0090 Model Select Encoder+assembly _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Set all the physical amp tone knobs at zero (minimum position), and then select your presets.. when you select presets the actual settings of the physical amp tone knobs are never read by the device unless there is a pot jittering problem (not necessarily due to dirt) or you move them on purpose. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

This is the POD HD forum (not the POD XT).. However in your case probably there is a potentiometer jittering problem.. Suggestion: Since there is a sort of very little neutral area (ie where they do nothing) at the extreme min and max setting of the potentiometers, park them all on the min position (in particular the channel volume), so there will be no risk that they suddenly read a new value due to some vibrations transferring to the pots. Hope it helps. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Compared to the 4.2.7.6 the latest 4.2.7.7 (Windows 10 - POD) driver doesn't really add any new feature or improvement specifically for the HD500 proper communication with the computer, so given that you experienced the BSOD from when you installed the 4.2.7.7, just uninstall it and reinstall the 4.2.7.6. You can use the Line6 uninstaller app to uninstall the driver, and you can download manually from this site the driver version you want, and install it. Very easy job. Why bother for boring and long to solve unnecessary problems?

your issue could be due to several reasons: - the patch settings, in particular the mixer block pan settings, or the presence of a Pan Fx in the patch chain.. - the input settings (which also are per patch settings) - with a new empty patch if the 2nd input is set to an unused physical input you can't hear the Right channel until you add a mono block in the chain or you adjust the mixer block pan settings.. - the phones jack socket might need some good cleaning question: do both the Left and Right standard outputs work? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Impossible. The only FXs that even if it can not be part of any patch could affect all of them the same way is the Global EQ, and it works only on the POD outputs (not in the recording through USB). The Looper also is a global FX (ie a non per patch FX) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

The headphones must be connected to the POD phones output, not to the PC. The reason is that you are using the POD as audio interface, and not the integrated AI of your PC. Also, with the POD connected to the PC, make sure that the hardware monitor level is full up. Open the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices control panel and check the above setting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

infortunately you can't do it.. In the POD the FX parameters can not be controlled by MIDI By MIDI the POD responds only to bank and program changes, and to the following functions (listed in the downloadable advanced manual): _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

I don't use always the same scheme but when I set my POD in PRESET footswitch mode (ABCD, ie the bottom row FS work to change presets) I tend to put the gain/distortion FXs first on the LEFT side and the modulation and time based FXs on the right.. but since I often use the pedalboard footswitch mode (FS 5-8, ie all 8 FS work to switch on/off the assigned FXs) I often leave the automatic assignments (that take place when the effects are inserted in the chain) as they are, practically they reflect the order in which I put them going from my guitar to the amp and after the amp. At the end it's like using a real pedal board with all its stomboxes connected one after the other.. If you press the VIEW button you can scroll between 3 different VIEW screens: Signal Flow View, Performance View, and Big User View.. The one you need to select to see what every footswitch does (and if the assigned FX is on/off) in a given patch is called "Performance View" (see the pic below here): or ..where you can clearly see the 2 rows of footswitches (top and bottom) and to what every FS has been assigned (FX or preset, depending on the general footswitch mode selected: FS 5-8 or ABCD) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

In Italy we say that it is "the other side of the coin", which in this case would be "inconsistency", being the main side instead "super-flexibility" that let everyone arrange things as they prefer instead of being forced to adere to a rigid fixed scheme. This is one of the main reasons why I chose my device. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Setting the POD as the main audio interface in place of the still present integrated one can cause conflicts on some PC.. Unfortunately when you install the POD drivers the procedure sets automatically the POD as the main audio interface for everything.. The problem is that as soon as the PC loses the connection with the device (which is replacing the main integrated one) it crashes. The connection between PC and POD can be lost for several reasons like: - disconnecting physically the device or turning it off while the PC is still turned on.. - the ASIO driver buffers settings can't handle the system requests in a given moment and the driver hangs/crashes.. - bad USB cable or USB ports, etc. - USB 3 works bad with PODs (use always USB 2 only ports) The only way to set effectively the POD NOT as the main interface is while it is turned on and connected by USB, opening the PC audio control panel and setting back the integrated audio interface as the main AI. Then in each program/application where you need to specifically use the POD as AI (like a DAW or media player) you can use its dedicated and independent audio settings to select the POD. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

The footswitches can not be assigned directly to parameters, but only to switch on/off the blocks... ..AND to send MIDI commands pre-programmed into the patches, like preset/setlists changes, on/off switching of functions/blocks, or parameters values.. eg if you connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT back to the MIDI IN of the POD you could take advantage of the still unused footswitches and program them to do 2 interesting tricks explained in two posts in my website: MEGA PLAYLIST SWITCHING SETLISTS ON THE FLY _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

At this point it seems probable that your POD has an hardware problem, and if so it needs to be serviced to go back to normal operation. If you didn't already, open a support ticket to speak directly with the Line6 official support guys in the hope of finding the best solution. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

not a bad price for a used HD500X, but you should carefully check that everything is working fine. not so easy if you don't know well the device and what to check: obviously all the knobs and switches should be checked, the audio outputs (headphones included) and FX LOOP connections, USB port (easily broken in used units) and it is very important, the expression pedal etc. some of the above listed things need the activation of some blocks to be properly checked. if you have a friend who knows quite well the device let him check it for you. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Yes, it will.. (avoid the suggested above splitting trick, it is not a good solution).. The ideal would have been for the jamhub to have had separate outputs so that the mix of the individual channels could be perfected in the house board. But since the jamhub has a single general stereo output, the procedure should be as follows: - set the pan controls of your channels and your friend, - standing in front of the stage, adjust the input levels of all the channels used on the jamhub until the mix is ideal. Ok, now the most important part has been made. At this point for each of you there is nothing left to do but to set the channels monitoring levels on the jamhub as you like, your personal monitoring settings will have no influence on the general signal outgoing to the house board.. Just, in case the house board is not provided with a stereo input channel, you'll need to run a Y cable (1 stereo to 2 mono L and R) from the jamhub, and use 2 channels on the house board, one panned LEFT and the other panned RIGHT. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

it is quite easy: - connect the two XLR outputs (or the two 1/4" jack outputs) of the POD to 2 channels of the jamhub, pan one channel to the LEFT and the other channel to the RIGHT, - connect your in ear system to the headphones output of one of your chosen L and R channels and on that channel set: the monitoring level of your 2 (panned) channels, the monitoring levels of your friend (panned) channels, and the monitoring level of the backing track channel. your friend can do the same procedure and choose his preferred monitoring settings. the point is that whatever are the monitoring levels you choose for yourself, and the ones chosen by your friend, they should not affect at all the general stereo output level and the mix of the jamhub, which depend only on the input levels and pan settings set for each used channel.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips
