If you're using the HD as your soundcard (and it sounds like you are) there is no straight forward way to do this in the POD itself. I think there was in the previous PODS (the XT X3 line), but this POD is limited. As I recall, what's happening is you are hearing both the HD's direct output of the POD, which then goes through the DAW and, with the monitor on, puts the DAW's output (in this case the HD with all your plugins) through the POD again. So what that means is you have to mute the HD's direct output, while the DAW still receives the HD's signal This you cannot do via USB. BUT, I think if you use the S/PDIF as your DAW's input, there might be a way to do this. I know you can only do reamping with the S/PDIF and not via the USB (llike you could with the XT/X3 line). I'm not at my POD and it's been awhile since I looked into this so I may not have this exactly right.

I don't know if anyone answered this yet but here it is. Richard - D-i-c-k Cranium - Head Put the two together.

<p>I hate the power supply. My solution was to</p> <p> </p> <p>1) Buy an extension cord. The one I have holds the power supply very securely.</p> <p> </p> <p>2) But an elbow adapter for the direct connection. If you do this make sure you get one that is 2.5mm NOT 2mm or 2.1mm. like the Line 6 documents say. I spent $20 finding this out.</p> <p> </p> <p>Here's elbow I got.</p> <p> </p> <p>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004L74PGI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1</p>

HD 500 patches are directly compatible BUT I have found that when using HD Edit to put them in, it is best to save the patch by pressing the save button on the HD500 (twice) itself and not trust the Edit software to do it using the SEND function.

One big reason to use the VDI is it will change guitars with the patch. Press one footswitch...Marshall with a Les Paul, Next switch...Bassman with a Strat. Next footswitch...an acoustic. Next...a Twin Reverb with a Tele...etc....etc.

Have you tried anything else plugged into the HD500 like some headphones?

I just had a thought about custom tone. They should have one section with direct tones only. A different section with live tones and in that section, a column describing what their setup is.

Who is the Pete, Black Face Pete refers to?

How about a different Global EQ for each playlist? Might be easier to implement.

Two famous ones. Mistaken Lyriic "There's a bathroom on the right" Real lyric "There's a bad moon on the rise" Mistaken Lyric " 'Scuse my while I kiss this guy" Real Lyric " 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky"

I agree. I learned guitar in the 70's where it took you a year to barely scrape up enough money for an amp, guitar and a couple of pedals. That would be it!!!!! If you got tired of that tone, too bad. Let alone being able to switch to different amps (and guitar with the Variax). I'm not sure if alot of the younger people realize just how fantastic they've got it. I am so jealous of this generation. Let me go ahead and also add how we had to learn songs without the internet or tab. There was LITTLE TO NONE (tab). Ya needed a record player that had a 16 speed so you could slow those fast licks down. Now, what would take a week, can be learned on youtube.in five minutes.

I guess my main disagreement is over what Global EQ was MEANT for. I haven't seen anywhere what Global EQ was specifically MEANT for. Didn't know it was MEANT for any specific problem. And in regard to one cabinet, I play through various equipment, several cabs. several amps and often direct, so as a baseline, I will look up a cab or amps freq response graph and Gobal EQ accordingly.

RE the 1/4" outs. Check to see if the level switch is on Line or Amp. Line has more Oooooooomph.

I half disagree with you. I have used a global EQ to compensate for the freq response curve of a guitar cab to make it more flat.

I don't believe the setlists are changed when you load the new firmware (they didn't for me). Ya get all the patches but the setlists are whatever you had before the firmware upgrade. You have to do a factory reset after you load the new firmware to get the new Line 6 setlist names. So you should be good to go.

I've often had some kind of issue when loading saved patch files (patch, setlist or bundle), especially if they were created on a 500 or 500X and then loaded into the other one (I have a 500 and a 500X). One thing that has helped alot is, as soon as I load a Patch file I save it from the device itself (hit save button twice). That took care of alot of problems.

So it sounds like you do your editing from the HD500X itself and not from a computer you have your HD attached to.

PAID?????? I was assured by the club owners and promoters that just getting people to listen to my little noodlings was payment enough.

Thankyou. I'll pass the info on.

Well I would put the Noise Gate at the beginning of your effects. Then it uses only the clean guitar signal as it's reference and not a bunch of noisy effects and amps.

How did you figure that out????? I have a friend that has an XT who can't get Gearbox to work on his Yosemite upgraded MAC. I'm not sure he would have that exact plugin. Do you know of other plugins that would do the same thing?

So let me get this straight. Line 6 had the upgrade and model packs ready to go now for the HD500X NOW and instead of letting the HD500X owners have it now they should have waited two weeks (or whatever it will be) so that everyone could have gotten it at the same time? Just so you can feel better about yourself and how Line 6 thinks about you? That would be the only reason to not offer it now to the HD500X owners. I can assure of one thing, they didn't sit around thinking how can we make the HD500 owners regret not getting an HD500X or whatever other conspiracy you might be coming up with. I mean do you really think they should have said to themselves.... "Well, we have the upgrade and model packs ready for the HD500X but we don't want to injure to other HD owner's egos and self worth so we'll deny the HD500X people the upgrade and model packs until everyone can have one. Even though they are ready now." C'mon. They said awhile ago that the upgrade and model packs would be ready for the HD500X BEFORE they would be ready for the other HD500's. Not because they want to make you feel like a second class citizen but because that was the schedule to get it done given the recources that they have. Maybe they should have had it ready for the product they have discontinued and given it to them first? Thereby making HD500X people feel like second class citizens. Of course not. They had the HD500X upgrade and model packs ready first and put it out as soon as they could, instead of waiting unitl the other upgrade was ready just to keep a few people from whining. It is amazing to me that people always find a way to feel sorry for themselves, even though from a pragmatic, black and white point of view, they did exaclty what they had to do. I know they would have released both upgrades at the same if it was possible...It wasn't. If that's what makes you feel like a second class citizen then you may be a little too sensitive for the cold hard world of equipment upgrading and might want to consider getting out of it.

Save your money. No you can't.

How do I do that? I went to the Knowledge base and no info. I've reloaded the firmware from Monkey and still have the old setlists. FOUND IT!!! Never Mind!!
