Hi everyone,
A custom firmware has appeared that lets the HX Stomp run NAM A2 Lite captures as a regular amp block (nocaseguy/hx-stomp-nam-lite on GitHub). It made me wonder whether the same idea could ever work on the POD HD500, since the hardware still holds up well but the stock cabs and amps are the weak spot.
Has anyone with firmware or DSP knowledge looked into this? I'm mainly curious about:
- whether the HD500's DSP has enough headroom for even a very light NAM model
- whether there's any way to load user data (like IRs) that could carry capture weights
- whether anyone has reverse-engineered the HD500 firmware format
I know it would be a big project and I'm not expecting a quick answer. If someone already knows it's impossible, I'd love to hear why. Thanks!
