  1. Got any evidence of that in regards to the POD HD line..? That's a pretty bold claim.
  2. By the way, Digital_Igloo - You asked previously (In June) about what IR lengths we'd prefer and such - Not many people responded. You came to the conclusion that it's only a small subset of users that care - but let me iterate that I've talked to LOTS of people in person about my setup, and those who know anything about the current state of modelers almost always bring up the lack of custom IRs as a show stopper. People want it, it would move the Pod HD line into a new category of product. And I'd say between 512 and 1024 samples as the limit for IRs would be great, and totally worth the 12.5 to 25% DSP cost :)
  3. If you pay attention to posts from people like Digital_Igloo, it's pretty clear to see that they're going to implement some of the at least some of the ideas in Ideascale to the current HD line relatively soon (in the next year, probably? Hard to say) They've asked incredibly detailed questions to the users here on the forums about setlist/preset management, routing, cabinet impulse lengths in samples, DSP management/expectations, and even hinted at a few potentially new amp models. I'm pretty convinced that custom IRs are going to be the next big addition to the 500x software wise - in June they were asking absurdly technical questions about sample lengths, and claiming that custom IRs of 1024 samples would take up a specific amount of DSP.. they wouldn't have talked about it like that if it wasn't something they were working on in one form or another. It's been a while since that came up, I have a hunch that it's right around the corner, though I'm probably just being optimistic. Of course nothing is solid, but it's pretty easy to get an idea of what they're working on if you poke around. Kind of exciting, actually. I'll be the first to admit it - I'm bummed that the POD HD line doesn't take the top priority in their development/update pipeline.. I wish we got updates with new stuff all the time - I wish it was open source actually, in the sense that independent developers could write their own code for the Pod HD line. But that's a pretty unrealistic viewpoint. They've got all kinds of new products and features that they've released recently, not to mention that they now belong to another company. Gotta keep things in context.. Whenever I get upset about this and consider getting a different brand of product - I turn on my 500x and start playing, and I actually have fun. That's incredibly valuable..! Yes, I wish there were more thing, and the things like the Axe FX with it's constant updates make us all drool, for sure.. but the Pod HD line is one that makes me want to sit and play music. I'll stick with it and see what the future holds - even if I decide to go elsewhere, it's an incredible product, and an incredible time to be involved in the modeling community. Cheers to Line6 for (hopefully) doing the best you can!
