hooohhh gosh!!! happened to me too!!! Just switched on my new HD500x (2 months old, fw 2.62, NO new expansion pack), connect my Strato with EMG pickup, select <DG SOS> patch (from CustomTone) and start some practice...... after 5 minutes of test...... THE NOISE... at very high volume...... I can't explain if it was like larsen or like white noise..... !!! something similar when you touch the tip of the guitar jack but at very high volume and tone I was just playing my guitar and moving the pedal (for SOS effect)...... The strange thing is that I was practicing yesterday for two hours in the same condition without problem... and also.... I have switched the 500x off and on again and play without problem!! strange.... well.. the setup: -Strato in the guitar in -Balanced out connected to the mixer, input fader on the mixer at 5 (0db), MAIN output fader OFF -Un-balanced out L (Mono) connected to my little Fender Amp, Amp switched OFF -Using headphone as monitor connected to the mixer I'm sure that the noise come off from the 500x because before to switch it off I've disconnected the headphone from the mixer and connected to the 500x, disconnected the guitar and all the cable... but.....same noise I'll test the exact same condition in the next day... to see if it happen again (and for practing!!) NOTE: before you ask..... I've installed new FW(s) with the option to delete all patches and after the installation I've done a global setting reset and pedal calibration, than download my previously saved setlist.... It's the first time in two months of life of my 500x...... hope it'll never happen!!!! Rino EDIT... forget to say ... Global EQ was/is OFF

Yes... VARIAX

I've done it yesterday night!!!!! BUT .... I'm usig POD HD500X, so I hope it's the same.... Well the trick is to use Line6 Monkey software and update ... or better... re-write the firmware on the POD. During this proces the software ask you if you want to erase the CUSTOM tone (if I remember two times)..... if you press YES you have your POD at factory default Just remember.... this work for 500X I don't really know for HD Pro

DONE!!!!!!!!

Sorry... I don't agree..... Sometimes, especially in a solo Acoustic live is necessary to pump a little bit your sound, also... use some chorus, reverb, delay and finally ... sometimes is necessary to use a very clean sound, maybe equalized... In other words..... The effects chain is also useful on acoustic guitar too!!

It seems Line6 insist on the "....EFFECTS MODELS...." included in the next upgrade........ It's clearly wrote on this site in the official document.... SO.... Any news about this new effects????

Anyone using HD500x MAINLY for Acousti guitars? 12 string, Martin, Ovation??? I opened this tread because most, if not all, of the tone in the CustomTone and in this Community are around Electric Guitars. I'm searching for ideas about effects using, Amp simulation (if needed), experiences, suggestions from the HD500x users on acoustic guitar. SO.... Anyone about this subject??? Thanks Rino

Thanks to all guys!!! I have also learned how to use the A & B path.......... Just another little question.... in term of Tone difference between HD500 and HD500x.... What are the things to check or modify importing a 500 tone into a hd500x?

well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............... tanks for Your patience!!!!!!! but there is the second half of my question.....Can be done on HD500x?????

Thanks.... Probably I have not explain very well.... I know what it Overdubbing and Looper... but Sound-On-Sound is different for me.... Maybe an example sound better.... Have you ever ear the acoustic <Shine On> make by Gilmour? Well... he use a "Sort of" SoS... he play the chord, make something (maybe open a long delay), freeze the chord... or better the delay sound .....and than play the solo, when chord change he repeat the sequence... My original question is (if possible) how to .... without or better WITH the HD500x Thanks anyway Rino

I'm not really sure if this subject was alredy discussed.... I'm really new on HD500X and this forum so... pardon me!!! the question is: Can someone axplain what is the Sound-On-Sound tech.. and How to use it on Hd500x??? Thanks..... Rino NB.. NOTE ... I'm plain to use it with Acoustic Guitar

First of all... thanks for your answers... and ... Have a Happy New Year Just 5 minutes ago I bought (well.... ordered!!) my HD500X and the EX-1 pedal. I'd like to have the EP1-L6 because heavy... but in Italy seems to be impossible!!! @Palico.... Can you explain what sort of fix and/or adjustement have you made on your EX-1?? Also..... one more little question.... On my acoustic guitars (Yamaha silent, EKO 12 strings, Ovation Classic) I normaly use two external effects, a TC Flanger and a Boss Delay.... How I can insert this two pedal in the Internal Effects chain of the HD500X I have to read alot of paper before to receive my new toy!! Ciao Rino

Hi to all..... I'm new in this comunity. I'm planning to buy a new POD HD500X for my little home studio, music is only an hobby!!! Well, I want to add an external expression/volume pedal to the HD500X and use the one on the unit as effects/parameter control, but it must be compatible with the main unit and also selectable from the internal program. Is this possible? Can you suggest me the right model? I saw a demo video where there is an external Pedal close to the HD500X.... This medal as a sort of M on it...... I don't know if it's the right one. Anyway... tanks to all from Italy and I hope to be a New LINE6 player soon... very soon... Rino
