    Unfortunately loops are only temporary and not storable within the POD., so you have to record your phrases externally.

    As I am not a native speaker I am willing to learn what your comment means, even if It was just for ironic reasons.

    Thomann: "Due back in stock on 23.08.2017" Unusual, but at least a good thing :)
  4. Smashcraaft
    Can't say I would be sorry. It's such a bargain unit <3

    I am pretty sure that the POD HD500 will disappear at all big sellers very soon. Pricing for the 500x was stable for years and now prices drop enormously and the POD disappears at the biggest seller in the EU. After the release of the Helix LT there might no need, to sell a unit only cannibalizing sells of other units. However... only time will show!

    After some price-drops in the last few weeks Thomann offers only the Line6 POD HD Pro X. The POD HD500x is no longer online and there is no upcoming stock information. Seems that the HD-Line is going to leave the market forever now. A pity especially after this surprising comparison… https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/ax8-headrush-helix-hd500x-shootout.1852940/ I will keep mine until it's death (and already bought a backup for 170 USD) :wub:

    Someone with the skills should build this adapter and sell it. I would buy one for sure if it comes within the 20 USD price range.

    Cloud-handling of patch-backups is a pain in the @ss. Every time you import a backup, to keep your devices up to date (tone-wise), the backup creates duplicates of the tones you like to update with the tweaked ones. This wouldn't be o problem if the date of the last editing would be displayed in the patch list. So the only proper way to import tweaked patches from fe iPad to iPhone is to know exactly which patches you are importing so you can delete the old ones before you import the tweaks.

    Just choose "used" and type in the date of your own purchase. As you bought it used, it is most likely that there is no warranty to loose so the date of the initial purchase is useless for you and Line6. You would even need the bill to get warranty services so the date of purchase is useless.

    Hi. I am new to Mobile POD and only got real experiences from Apps like JamUp, ToneStack, AmpKit. So far I use a App called iFile Organizer to play along over audio-tracks from my bandmates. iFile Organizer offers the ability to loop parts of a song and lets you decide the tempo up- and downwards. As the Mobile POD App offers similar features I thought about using these when jamming, but there is a big disadvantage, which seems to be the "import possibilities". Regardless to what other App I refer, all those others can be feed by using the "open in...", "Import to...", "send to..." feature of the cloud-services like iCloud, Drive and Dropbox where Mobile POD only seems to support the iTunes library as a source for imports into it's setlist. But this library itself can only be feed by purchasing tracks or syncing the music in your iTunes-Desktop library. Does anyone have a solution for this? How do you import playalong tracks into a music-setlist of Mobile POD?

    ... much more than Customtones I would prefer exchanging MY tones from iPhone to iPad via iCloud or similar Cloud-Services (like in JamUp). Is there already a petition for this on idea scale? Can't find one â˜ï¸ EDIT: Found the tone-export feature. The GUI of mobile POD seems a bit tricky compared to JamUP f.e.
  12. Smashcraaft
    There is a big difference if strings are older than weeks or EOL. The tone comparison I had recorded is no fake and you should hear the difference recorded on a V600 too, don't you?!

    Hi. A friend of mine plans on using the Helix as a Bass Preamp for Live usage. He does not want to go In-Ears or some silent-stage-stuff, rather he likes to get his massive analog bass-tone on stage, using the Helix and some kind of speaker-system. The tone should be amplified over his Gallien-Krueger Bassamp, using the Effects-Return to feed the solid state output stage. Which FRFR speaker-system would a Bass-Player prefer for the look & feel and the most versatile bass-sound? Is it best to go 2x15 passive PA-System Speaker or will a 1x15 do the job for bass? Or shall he still use his two 4x10 Trace-Elliot cabs driven from out the GK-Amp? A active FRFR would be no alternative, because he likes to have a amp on the cab for optical reasons ;)

    So why don't give hurghanico some good Karma back by using the green "thumbs up" arrow?And please mark the most helpful post as the solution, just to help others find the answer the quick way ;)
  15. Smashcraaft
    I had the BIAS Head for some testing and was (after some tweaking) very impressed of the Orange, GK and Ampeg. It is a different concept and lacks of any effects but the amp sims and power of the Class-D is very good. But a POD HD500 with additional amp-pack and a decent amplifier might do the job too.
  16. Smashcraaft
    Did you put new strings on it? Here is my comparison dead vs. alive https://soundcloud.com/sascha-ballweg/variax-600-spank-1-deadstring-vs-elixir
  17. Smashcraaft
    I am not sure if the Variax Bass was supported by Workbench at all. Never had one but I remember that only the stored instruments are available and there is no possibility to create own models. Might be right or wrong... I am very unsure about that?!
  18. Smashcraaft
    Nope, because when I change f.e. a spank I can not A/B it against the default without recording (if all 10 custom slots are occupied). There should be at least one invisible slot which could be loaded with a temporary patch from the playground-area I would like to see in Workbench. Do you get the point? Not sure if I explain the right way.
  19. Smashcraaft
    That´s what I know, too. But why not offer a playground-area (which could be stored just local)? It is something the Positive Grid BIAS Head is offering and without a doubt… it does make sense. So in their software you have a small amount of slots which are synced with the HEAD (in our case the Variax). And you have this big and funny playground-area, where you can play around and hear chosen patches only temporary loaded into their HEAD (Variax), if you like. I do not understand how someone could not want this feature <_<
  20. Smashcraaft
    Please show me the way to store and audition custom created models via POD and my Variax without exchanging presets in the custom banks? I only know the way to load my tries in a custom bank and try it there. If I like to try some creations against each other, the amount of custom banks is not really overwhelming. Even if I like to try a bundle with a modified list of default-presets I am not able to compare them the easy side-by-side way.
  21. Smashcraaft
    Sorry for the clickbait-title but it is true! Never understood why the slots are so restricted and there is no playground-area which could be used to try custom models. https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/An-area-to-store-unused-presets-within-Workbench-HD/902175-23508 Please give your vote to this idea :)

    I had the same issue on the g-string of my used Variax 600 backup guitar. So out of a simple intuition I pulled the string and let it slap on the piezo some times. I noticed the piezo came back to live but not for long so I repeated this procedure over the first week and from then some more single days until the problem disappeard at all (until today, 10 month later).
  23. Smashcraaft
    JTVs work with the 500x, former Variax models just with the non-X version of the POD HD.
  24. Smashcraaft
    First I do hope that you have a recent backup? Second, I am really sure that your POD needs a visite at an official L6 service center :(
  25. Smashcraaft
    I had a similar issue after purchasing a V600 last year. The G string was weak at my first attempts. So I pulled the string and let it snap down on the piezo several times and afterwards, it worked short term. I had to repeat that over the first week and after that it never appeared again. Seems to me that the piezo did not sat well or wasn't straight.
