Being a musician, and the fantasy of being a musician.

First of all, why the hell would you downvotes a post like my last one? I apologize if my reality where things worked is an unpopular view. Anyway funny you should mention that, because it's a good point. Actually all the details are irrelevant here because I was already certain it would work, because I knew in advance I wasn't buying any software licenses. Generally, "Standards Compliant" usb devices all work with all my computers already (my Macs and PCs are all 5 years old or under, running latest OSes) and the HD500X is no exception. The fellow I bought it from didn't know what he had or he would have been able to figure out how to make it sound good and wouldn't have sold it to me for the lunatic price he did. And I rarely buy anything I don't know everything about beforehand, because I like learning about gear, too! You're absolutely right as far as registered software -- it doesn't always work and you should ask. I always assume all software associated with devices is already registered. But the HD500X doesn't have any software licenses like that at all. And most devices labeled "Standards Compliant" can be used without paid drivers from the manuifacturer. In this case, Line 6 needs you to install drivers because the device is complicated, so it's just all free. Yes, I'm aware that in the past Line 6 transferred software licenses for some secondhand hardware sales and some users weren't aware that would be the case and were upset. I'm super excited to be in the owner's club. I should post a hello thread, shouldnt I?

I just bought a used pod today and didn't have any problems connecting it, installing it or updating anything. The process want exactly intuitive though, I must say.

Being a musician means dealing with a culture like a big roleplaying game where dudes pretend they are in a touring band in the '70s. Of course that's not a problem, but it gets weird when people confuse the two.

Thanks for verifying that for me, it's incredibly important that I can control it from the iPad with only Bluetooth and no WiFi. The marketing puts so much emphasis on downloading and sharing tones, this little fact is kinda lost.

I have a simple question about the Amplifi Remote iOS App. I realize the application will need Wifi to communicate with the web to download sound presets and do all that sort of thing. But when I'm just using my iPasd to control the FX100 unit at home or on the road, how does the iOS Remote App talk to the FX100? Is it through bluetooth or a wifi connection? What I'm really getting at is, can I control the FX100 unit without a wifi network? Like if I were to go busking at the market for example. Thanks!
