There are some available. Go try it. No, I don't think they need a new section. Some details get listed on the tone, so you should be aware before you download it that it uses X-model. Plus, from an advertising/business perspective, if you see tones with a 5150 amp, you may be like "wow, I gotta get me one of those"

everything will not sound the same. It is separate from and in addition to the eq of your patches. It's best use will be for setting room tone, which means you would need to take it to various rooms/venues to understand that your same patches don't always sound the same. As far as spdif question, I can only hypothesize because I don't use spdif or global eq... If the Master Volume has an effect on the volume when spdif is set to dry inputs, then the Master (global) EQ will effect the tone.

No. James Brown as Reverend Cleophus - the band - We're on a mission from God. The title of the post -- I have seen the light

I haven't downloaded it yet. I won't be using it. 'Room shaping' is why sound men get paid. For the record: I don't use an amp. I go straight to the PA.

ID ten T (id10t) You got your spelling backwards.

You're my new best friend. That was awesome.

BUT... Would it make sense for them to create a setlist that you can download with your purchase? That, of course, assumes that one likes the factory patches. I tend to overwrite them. It is just nice to have examples to hear before you trash them.

You are correct. The first time I said it, I did specify "sharing with others". I just omitted that line this time.

Which is one of the reasons I always suggest people start on an acoustic guitar. Learn to play before you fiddle with buttons. That is something people just don't seem to understand sometimes. You aren't just learning an instrument. You are learning an instrument, reading music, timing --- all of it. And if you are throwing in amps and sound effects... A lot of people quit because "I can't do it". But which part is getting in the way? Even me, I couldn't read music until someone showed me the bass clef. Then, it all kind of started to make sense.

Does anyone know: Will there be a new Owner's Manual to include the new firmware options?

I think it makes total sense to not have your Master Volume and Master EQ accessible from EDIT, Plus, I am going to point out... and it may just become a new line in my signature... If you are going to design patches, you should be designing them with the Master EQ off.

Well, if you think about it.... In each Setlist, there are 16 scenes available, each with 4 possible settings (A,B,C,D), each capable of having certain fx turned on and off within their prospective location. PROBLEM SOLVED?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHARE YOUR PATCHES, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CREATED WITHOUT USING THE GLOBAL EQ I see so many of you guys wanting to use it as an extra eq. I also see enough of you complaining about the lack of quality tones on Customtone. Can you imagine what things are going to sound like if you create things using a non-transferable EQ setting!

He hasn't even bought it yet. So he probably isn't up on all of the new information. New Firmware coming shortly - for the 500 and 500x but not the 300 or 400. It will give a 'Master EQ', and set you up to purchase add-ons. Currently, those add-ons consist of 3 various amp model packs. You can buy one for $50, or get all 3 for $100. One of them is a bass pack. Here are some bass posts, which include downloadable patches and setlists: http://line6.com/support/topic/10443-pod-hd500x-for-bass/ http://line6.com/support/topic/8395-any-bass-tips-hd500/

HOWEVER... 1. The new firmware does not include bass amps. The new firmware allows you to BUY some stuff -- bass amps. But they are not included. 2. Why would the new firmware make a difference to him. He is using it at home. Why does he need 'room shaping'. He will always be in the same room.

The truth of the matter is... We aren't you, so we don't know what all of the possibilities you could possibly come up with could be. So a 300 could be very sufficient. But from personal experience, I went from a 12 space fx rack with external wah and amplification, to a 500 that goes straight to the pa. The only thing I am missing is my talk box (because I no longer have a power amp) but I gained a vocoder. Besides, they sell self contained talk boxes if I really want one. For the money, there is no reason to even consider anything but the latest and greatest. The price is so minimal that it is ok to splurge on the big one even if it is overkill. Don't expect to buy it today and be a master tonight. There is no rush, take your time.

I am just curious here.... Are you guys doing patches on the unit or on EDIT? This is not the first time I have seen someone say they need to use up 3 blocks to do a low-mid-hi eq. Yet, I am sitting here on EDIT and seeing an amp with bass/mid/treb/pres and graphic eq with 80/220/440/1.1/2.2 *This Master EQ thing means nothing to me anyhow. That is what the sound guy is for.

put the pedal somewhere else in the chain?

You haven't used it. You haven't talked to anyone that has used it. There are no video demonstrations of it. How exactly do you know that it is 'more well designed'?

We already have eq's that can be set for each patch.

I've seen people trying to set up patches so that they will only use one patch their whole life. They set up to turn the fx on and off as needed, instead of creating separate patches. Now, of course, not everyone does that, but that is why a lot of people run out of DSP.

Joel, it doesn't matter how many times someone has needed to backup/restore. Its the insurance policy of knowing that there is a way to get it done. You know, like carrying extra guitar strings with you. When was the last time I broke a string -- not just at a gig, but broke one at all -- yet I have them with me at all times. I don't want to carry a Microsoft computer with me to every gig and every practice and every recording session to make a last minute change to a setlist, or god forbid do a complete reboot.

Well, your edit of your post to better explain your question is far different than your original posting and would have gotten a different response than the one I already gave. Good luck.

going to a mixer is easy. Take the two XLR jacks and plug them in. Guitar ==> Pod ==> Mixer fairly simple

As you can see by my 'signature', you are not alone in wanting connectivity.
