Thanks, Realzap. I couldn't get it to work with f2, but figured out that it works the same way as renaming a preset - click pause click again, type name, press enter. When I made this bundle (my first), I'd used a lot of presets from customtone, saving and naming the set lists from the FILE Menu as I went, then bundling them. When I got the new amps I wanted to start fresh, so I tried to figure out how to "Clear" the set lists I didn't want. I wound up writing over all the presets in a set list with "New Tone", saved (from FILE Menu) the set list as BLANK SETLIST, then opened it in each of the set lists I wanted to clear. I saved it with a new bundle name, then loaded the new bundle. The save/bundle process renamed all the cleared set lists Set List 1, Set List 2, etc.(maybe it truncated the BLANK from the name and added a number?), which was OK by me. But when I sent it to the POD, although the presets sent fine, none of the set list names overwrote the names from the upgrade. No idea why that happened, but when I changed the names manually in Edit, they changed on the POD and were saved, no send process required. Anyhow, it's all good now, thanks for your help!

Realzap - sounds like you're taking about renaming a setlist in edit. How do you even do that? Anyway, irrelevant, as I'm loading a bundle with already named setlists.

Updated to 1.4/2.6. Did a system reset. Did a pedal recalibration. Opened edit. Loaded my bundle. Sent it to the 500x. All presets sent, but the set list names won't change. Did it (reset, recal, send bundle) twice, Set list names remain the same. Yes, I know it can be done manually from the unit. PITA! Especially if you've got multiple bundles with different set list names! Anybody know what's happening here and how to fix it?

Rapco SC100i Isolated Signal Combiner. Out of production (I think) but still show up on ebay from time to time. Here's one for $40.00. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rapco-SC-100i-balanced-Isolated-Signal-Combiner-/251739622944?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a9cd9ce20

Using an HT-5C, 4cm, no noise problems. Using the HD's pre-only amps straight to the HT-5C power amp sounds like crap, harsh, hissy. Using the full amps, with or without (HD) cab sims sounds great. Using the Blackstar's pre's with 4cm and effects only also sounds great. Using any of the HD's overdrives with the Blackstar's OD channel more than barely cracked sounds terrible, but might be I just need to spend some more time dialing it in. All the HD's OD's sound good on the clean channel. So far, I prefer the studio direct setting to the combo setting, but that might be the setting I need to make the pre-only HD amps sound right. Not enough hours in the day for all the possibilities, I wind up getting distracted by playing the guitar....

You didn't specify if you were using a PC or a Mac. On a PC, go to Control Panel, Sound, and select the POD HD500 as your default speakers. That works for me, should work for you!
