Is the HD500X still supported? Mine got wonky and I replaced it with the smaller, easier Pod Go. They haven't updated the 500 in ages. I like having the onboard expression pedal.

When I switch to a preset using the volume pedal, I briefly press it to max and then back off to min. It seems to "reset" the pedal. Also important when I use the pedal as a Whammy-style pitch shifter. Otherwise it sometimes sounds out of tune.

This is all good advice, Flipper124. Just read the manuals all the way through, both the owners manual and the edit guide, which is about the computer-based editing software. https://line6.com/support/manuals/podgo/ I create all my own presets and keep them simple. I do all my editing on the computer because it's easier. Stick with it! The fact that you have so many options is what makes the Pod Go fun to work with once you're familiar with it.

To change Snapshot names in Pod Go Edit (on the computer), click on the snapshot and then the little three dots, and you can assign a color and rename it. How can I change MULTIPLE (2) name to something more usable in Pod Go Edit? I've got several I want to do and it would be much easier on a computer keyboard than on the floor device.

It's here now!!

I use amp simulators for just about all of my distortions. I'm mostly looking for classic rock sounds and bluesy crunch, and I find the amp models work best for me. Of course, everyone is different and I'm not playing heavy metal.

Thank you, that is so helpful! I remembered reading about the four-button option, then couldn't find it in the manual later. I've changed my global setting, and now I'm going through the presets rejiggering the assignments. Much easier operation with the bank buttons always activated.

Played my first gig with my new Pod Go. Went great, various sounds were good, and I loved how Snapshots work. But one question: How do you get out of Snapshot mode and change to a different preset? I wound up unplugging it to get back.

Thanks, great news. One for the gig bag, one for practice at home.

I have two for the HD500X. Now I’ve ordered a Pd Go. Can I use the same power supply?

Thanks for the reply. I did not. I'd already ordered the Pod Go before I found this thread. But I'm looking forward to the smaller size and new sounds.

Happened to me repeatedly at two practices. Time to order a Pod Go and retire the 500X. Sad!

Good thread. This is 4 amp, looks like it would work. $16.64 from Amazon, free 2-day shipping with Prime. 9V 3A 4A 5A AC DC Adapter 27W 36W 45W Switching Power Supply (9V4A-USCABLE) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0771LX649/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_tai_oVZTCbWW8VMFB

Thanks, y'all. I'm going to try jvrock84's suggestion, makes sense.
