It sound like u have a ground loop problem.

...I just can't take those computer style digital glitches that happen when you least expect it.

My motto has become give a computer the chance and it will F!@ you every time.

Murphy's law or the ...fourth law of thermodynamics" (actually there were only three last I heard) states: "If anything can go wrong, it will".

Watch out for fluorescent lights and dimmer switches as they can add lots of 60hz noise.

Search 4 "guitar hum". I am sure u will find useful info out there.

Then may be the last FX block just before the FX Loop is mono.

Check the cable.  It must be stereo (TRS) for carrying a stereo signal.  A malfunctioning cable might sum the signal 2 mono.

As far as the a 21 fret neck is concerned, ...I've got a feeling that "mathematically" speaking it won't fit. It means that u are changing scale length, so the whole "resonance" of the instrument will be different. But I am not a luthier, so may be I am wrong.

HD500_BEAN_combo.zip

I would use the "main" POD for the (dual) amps and some FX up to DSP limits and use the "auxiliary" POD for effects, thru the FX loop.

As far as the looper is concerned, it depends for what purpose u intend to use it.

...The inspection sticker is put on new PODs at the factory. It is a new 500X...

So I suppose all fellas out there got their new 500X's  with this sticker... :)

...The reason may be that the pod is able of computing a stereo signal (2 mono signals in parallel), but it is not able of computing two stereo singals (the two paths) in parallel!...

Both paths A + B are stereo.

Glad 2 hear all good now.

Keep on ...poding!

you could try to use fabric fingerless gloves in your picking hand for dampening the palm vibrations, who knows, maybe it helps..

Just currious to find out... :)

I am using a JTV69s+HD500 directly XLR'ed to PA, no amp.
Before I used a Fender Prosonic Custom Shop, 4CM'ed to the HD500 with a 1972 Strat (c attached foto).
However, since i bought the JTV69s, the 72 strat+fender prosonic custom shop tube amp+many other tube amps+analogue equipment are now decommissioned.

I beleive the spider valve amp does not match/integrate with the HD500 the way the  DT25/50 does.

However u could achieve what u described.

Consult the following:

Could u post a pic of the sticker?

Just save a "blank" patch over the unwanted ones.

Quoting from http://line6.com/support/topic/3489-pod-hd500x-patch-questions/?do=findComment&comment=22866

 There is no 'delete' function. You delete a patch by overwriting/replacing it with a different patch. The easiest way to do this is to use the editor and drag/drop an 'empty' patch to the location you want to delete. You can create an empty patch, or use the New Tone preset that comes with the User setlists in the factory presets.

Could u post a sound sample of the static/buzz?

I think pitch effects of the HD are not polyphonic, which means that they apply pitch shifting or smart harmony to only one note at a time.

So, if you try to strum a chord and apply these effects, sometimes the result may not be "musically acceptable".

Therefore, the solution would either be a JTV, or physically retuning your guitar to play CGCFAD.

u r welcome.
