Speaking for many of the lazy guitarists on here, it would be nice if there were some cross device compatibility but apparently there is not. I had posted a while back hoping for such asking about if I upgraded from my current POD HD 500X to the POD GO. Again, it was a negative response. There was a conversion utility available a couple years back but I do't know what it convert from and to.

Now that, seemingly, all the new release hysteria regarding the POD Go has subsided I am wondering about changing from my HD 500X to the POD GO. Should I do it? A Guitar instructor that I follow has quite a few patches for the POD Go for sale. Those are almost enough reason to change. But I am concerned about the huge learning curve I wrestled with for the 500 X. But then I suspect I now have a lot of the terminology and concepts mastered and perhaps those will provide a basis to start with the Go? What say you? Is the POD Go enough of a technology upgrade, better sound, etc., to justify changing? Am I going to face a huge learning curve again and maybe i should just stick with my HD 500X?

Is it possible? I know there is a thread here on converting presets among different POD HD? but it is not to convert from POD Go. Jeff McErlain is one of the top educators at Truefire. He and Keith Williams of Five Watt World fame have made a bunch of presets for the POD Go of Eric Clapton tones. I have a POD HD 500X and would like to try them. Any ideas?

Can one copy an effect from one preset and save it to another/different preset? Of course, one can jot down the settings of the effect one likes. Then just load the same pedal in the new preset and duplicate the settings. But I am wondering, purely as a curiosity item, if one can copy and paste effects. One would think you can but it doesn't seem like it. I have a Hard Gate that came in a preset that I downloaded from here, "Clapton-Saldano". This noise gate works perfectly cleaning up the hissing I constantly deal with in my system. I'm probably going to use it a lot!

And Thank You @hurghanico

I didn't see faint line dividing amp controls from cab ones. Thank you!

The Title probably fully explains entire question. On the Fender Twin Reverb amp (BlackFace Dbl Nrm) what is the "E.R." knob? I can't tell that it actually does anything.

The title is probably self explanatory.

@hurghanico, @pianogayy and @Punkyboy, thanks for those suggestions. I didn't know there are patches in the " "Bass-Aco-Voc" factory setlist, that's how ignorant I am about my machine. So I'll look at those. And I'm not wanting to add a reverse ping pong, just a little amplification, maybe a little reverb? And I didn't see that 2008005, so I'll try that. Thanks you guys.

There was a thread recently for using the POD for classical guitar. But that's not what I am looking for. I am looking to use my POD HD 500X as an amp for my acoustic steel string guitar. Anyone else do this? I did try and find some presets in the CustomTone section but couldn't find any. Actually, I found one and it was terrible. Any suggestion or point to a download or two would be appreciated.

@Triryche and @hurghanico thank you. I found it via the "Start" menu. It was already "maxed" in the "Record Send" level. I clicked the +18 option but have not tried it yet with recording. I will. Thanks again to you both.

How did you get to that window? Are you on Windows or Apple? If I go to Device Manager, in Windows, I get this: Then clicking on Line 6 POD 500x, I get: No where there can I find a record send level:

Thank you. I'll try that.

Recording into Reaper the waveform in the track from my POD HD 500X is almost flat. It sounds acceptable. But if I want to do any editing or such the visual waveform makes it difficult. Posting on the Reaper forum a guy suggested there my be some settings in the POD that attenuates the signal out. Is there such settings? I have the Master and the Volume both up fairly high. Anyone else have any suggestions on getting the output higher?

No, I can't help you with a preset. And since you're a Neil Young you probably already know about this. But in case not, this is all things Neal Young. Nothing about equipment but it has to have just about every song of his tabbed.
