It MUST update pedal position when changing patches. That should have already happened. As it is, if you are going to use it live, you need a stand alone volume pedal between the unit and the amp. Needs more and better Chorus too.

It's a wonderful investment. Just getting to hear and compare all of those cool amps and speaker combinations is worth a lot. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is to go through the System Setup first. If you are going to use it live and expect to use the Volume Pedal included... don't. Just go ahead and get a stand alone, low impedance stereo volume pedal and put it between your unit and the amp. If you are going to use it like a stomp box you will need a high impedance pedal. It just depends on the usage. The reason is the unit does not update pedal position when you change patches and makes it useless for live play without the stand alone volume pedal. Then you can just make all of your patches the same volume and they will all be the right volume when you switch patches. I disagree about the AXE FX sounding better. It sounds like you have toilet paper tubes over your ears compared to the 500X:) The Line 6 is more natural sounding.

Man there is a MAJOR flaw in the POD HD500X. The Controller position does not update when changing patches. So when you change a patch it reverts to the volume that was stored with the patch. That is a HUGE flaw when playing live and is also an amatuer way of doing things, most unacceptable. Too bad because I love the way it sounds but that makes it impossible to use live.

Needs a better stereo Chorus, Roland or TC Electronics, & a 31 band EQ. Also there are a TON of great tones you can get with 1ms to 12ms delay.

SYSTEM SETUP! In my humble opinion it is the first thing you should do and it should be #1. First in the Guide or Manual. If you got it new and run it into a Power Amp [iN] it sounds like crap because it comes setup to record direct.

But how do you calibrate EXP2? EXP1 is easy but there is no access to EXP2.

Me too, I'm getting ( Error: 521) when trying to register my 500X
