For anyone interested, I've just submitted a new petition or campaign to the ideascale site to bring back Customtone. If you think the download of custom tones was a useful feature from v1 that should be in version 2, please go to http://line6.ideascale.com/ and add your vote. The campaign is called: Bring back Customtone.com to Mobile Pod 2 Thanks.

Gate is in the first effect to the left, Input I believe it's called (I downgraded back to 1.7 so I can't check, but I'm pretty confident that the name was "Input") Click on that and you will find the gate.

Also: Custom tone.com access is gone. So if you like downloading other user-contributed tones, try to do it before "upgrading". But beware: In my case, I tried or tested the upgrade in two different ways: "upgrading" without user tones, only with the factory ones (clean upgrade), which went OK. BUT upgrading with my favorite downloaded user tones resulted in crashing while opening the app. It would begin the updating/migrating tones process and crash. Every time. Had to delete everything and begin again. And by this I mean, deleting everything "Mobile Pod" from my devices and computer, getting an old copy of version 1.7, downgrade, download EVERY tone again, and try to upgrade to v 2 again, to no avail. And, since you cannot add custom tones after the fact, there is no way to troubleshoot by adding a few tones at a time... So, if you do not want to lose your custom tones, do not try to upgrade for now, or at least, backup them to your computer with something like PhoneView or other utility before trying. And keep a copy of version 1.7 handy. And, if I remember correctly, there is a "Share" button! So Line 6 wants me to share my tones, but there is no way to benefit from the sharing??? I contacted Line 6 about the loss of customtone.com (hoping that it was an omission, that it would come back) but received an answer that confirmed worst case scenario. It's gone, at least for now. Hopefully they change their minds. Most other amp sim apps have some kind of sharing enabled. On the interface issue, I really like the way things are distributed now and how I can access tones in a kind-of split window. I would compromise: keep things distributed on screen as they are, bring back the "real-ish" looking amps and effects. I concur with OP about having the possibility of switching effects by tapping.

Thanks for the info.

Hi all Just received official answer about this from Line 6 and it's not good news: I believe it is time for everyone interested in this feature to get in touch with Line 6. Hopefully they could reconsider and bring it back. I already answered to the ticket asking if they were willing to bring it back, if enough people asks...

For anyone interested, I've opened a support ticket asking Line 6 about this issue. Hope to get answers soon. Will keep you posted...

Thanks for your attention to this issue.

So what you are saying is that this feature was removed from the update? Because we were able to import directly via the app from Customtone.com in the previous version, as fuentesjoe stated. If that is so, it is a huge step backwards.

silvered, are you referring to the Customtone link on the website menu? It does not work. When you select a custom tone to download, it asks for a registered product. There is no entry for registering Mobile Pod. I have some Line 6 gear registered but it does not seem to work with those. Am I missing something?
