Thanks for the reply. So as I'm understanding it, the Pod XT really only functions as a jack to plug my guitar into. If so, I can just as easily use a Line-In port on my sound card and put the Pod XT back in the closet?

OK. What about this. I create a tone with POD Farm 2 and save it. I then open it via Line 6 Edit and move it to my Pod XT. Will I run into complications doing this? Next question. I'm trying to understand the relation between Pod XT and Pod Farm. In simplest terms, the Pod XT functions as a 1/4" jack that passes the guitar signal to Pod Farm. Correct? However, I noticed odd things happen when I turn knobs on the Pod XT. For example, adjusting the "Channel Volume" activates the Pod Farm tuner. Scrolling the tone bank on the Pod XT doesn't alter the setup on Pod Farm. As the guitar signal passes through the Pod XT, the signal is altered by the current tone. The signal is then sent to Pod Farm where it is processed a second time. I assume the proper way to set up the Pod XT is set the tone to "Manual" and turn off the Amp, Cabinet, and all effects. This should allow a clean signal to pass through the Pod XT into Pod Farm. Does this sound about right? Thanks

How do you move tones back and forth between PODxt and POD Farm 2?

I pulled my PODxt out of the closet yesterday. I updated all the software and drivers and even purchased POD Farm 2. All was working fine until I was done for the day and turned of the PODxt. When I flipped the switch, my computer crashed after about 5 seconds and then rebooted. Current driver: 7.3.8 OS X 10.10.5 I'm pretty sure it's driver related. I can't say if it's the driver or a conflict with another driver. I tried downgrading to 7.3.7 and had the same result. 7.3.6 would not install. Any suggestions?
