Hi, My POD 2.0 power adapter reads: LINE 6 PART NO: 11-32-0932 AC/AC ADAPTOR MODEL: MKA-091200GS INPUT: 230V 50Hz / OUTPUT: 9VAC 1200mA MADE IN TAIWAN I've also used my POD 2.0 with my PODxt power supply, which reads: AC/AC ADAPTOR MODEL: SY-09200A-GS PART NO: 11-32-0003 INPUT: 230V~50Hz OUTPUT: 9V~2000mA 18VA MADE IN CHINA Hope this helps! - liet_

It's "N/A" because is an AC-AC adapter. The others are AC-DC and, of course, DC has polarity.

The model packs are still there, just at a different URL: https://shop-ww.line6.com/software/model-packs/standard-model-packs/

Try pod-ui, https://github.com/arteme/pod-ui/releases. It lets you edit all the controls on the PODxt, but doesn't support loading patches from files yet. BR, liet_

Hi Gascat, Of course I may have gotten ahead of myself and you may be having connection issues. To connect the POD 2.0 to the PC you'd need either a sound card with a MIDI port or a good USB-MIDI cable such as M-Audio USB Uno https://www.thomann.de/gb/maudio_midisport_uno.htm, unfortunately most cheap Chinese clones that look like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003373147519.html will not work because they don't transfer SysEx messages correctly (if at all). Let's start here. Once you've connected the POD to the computer, you should be able to just run pod-ui and it will auto-detect the device and download the patches. If this doesn't happen, them maybe you have MIDI problems as above. You can still connect to the device manually -- click on the gadget icon in the title bar and select the MIDI ports manually. Select "POD 2.0" and "omni mode". The app will try to connect to the POD again, but if that doesn't happen, try turning the knobs in your POD. If the controls in the app change similarly, then you definitely has the MIDI-USB-SysEx problem above. If that doesn't happen, that means that the computer is not getting even the basic MIDI signals. Try swapping the MIDI cables around (I could never figure out from the first go, which one goes to "MIDI IN" and which to "MIDI OUT") and repeat the process. If the app is still not responding to anything, drop me a line. If the app responding to some controls and not the others, or something else fishy is going on, do drop me a line. I might've broken something that used to work while making new features. BR, liet_

Hi Gascat, I'm glad you're using the app. Yes, there's a user guide over at https://arteme.github.io/pod-ui/pages/user-guide.html, I hope it clears things up. You should be able to load the patches into the app, modify them and store them back to the device. If, however, you mean saving patches from POD to a file, and loading them back, then that's unfortunately not supported yet. BR, liet_

Dear friends, Please welcome version 1.1.0 of pod-ui with multiple bug-fixes, especially for PODxt users. The app now correctly updates the UI when the "effects" knob is turned or when one of the effect drop-downs is changed in the UI. A couple of v1.0.0 regressions has been found and fixed as well: the selected MIDI channel was not being used and the PocketPOD MIDI quirk was not handled correctly. You will also be pleased to know that the on-disk size of the app has been greatly reduced thanks to optimized release build. Keep on rockin'!

Ha-ha, this is music to my ears! I'm really glad this thing is useful to people. L6T support is definitely on the wish-list. Back in '21 when I started toying with the idea of pod-ui, I dug into the L6T file format and got lost in the weeds. It's practically a SoundDiver .lib file with a few quirks. I'll definitely have a go at it again soon-ish unless I find some more legacy POD devices to support ;)

There's one more options for Pocket POD users: https://arteme.github.io/pod-ui/ The app works in modern OSes including Linux, Windows 10+ and macOS. Cheers, liet_

There are many more legacy Line 6 POD devices we can add support for with relatively low effort -- Bass POD, Bass PODxt family, Floor POD Plus. I don't have any of these devices, but if there is anyone in these forums that has one and would like to help the project, please read https://arteme.github.io/pod-ui/pages/how-to-help.html#how-to-help and get in touch. The full list of devices I'm interested in adding support for can be found here: https://arteme.github.io/pod-ui/pages/devices.html#devices. Cheers, liet_

@TheBeatnics I'm no expert in electronics, but I couldn't resist chiming in. I only have experience with a standard PODxt device, but it doesn't usually switch to this screen without toggling the "edit" button. Losing the tone like that, does it sound like you get into the tuner? My point, really, is that it is probably not a single control malfunctioning, but may rather be a current spike or a drop in current that messes with the board. I would advise you to look for a dead/dying capacitor. I've never had to open a POD myself, but given their age, I would definitely look at capacitors.

Dear friends, I would like you to welcome pod-ui v1.0.0 with PODxt/PODxt Pro/PODxt Live support: While pod-ui development is tracked in this thread, I feel like PODxt support is such a major feature that it justifies an explicit announcement. You can download the new version from the releases page and check out the aforementioned thread for further details. Cheers, liet_

'Tis the season to be jolly. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! Please welcome pod-ui version 1.0.0 with PODxt/PODxt Pro/PODxt Live support. What started as a feature request on the project's github issue page, with a lot of back-and-forth of MIDI message dumps, turned into a major rewrite or pod-ui culminating in this release. Big thanks to Eirik Z - this would not have been possible without you! This release also brings improvements for current users of pod-ui: device auto-detect has been improved, high CPU usage during test/auto-detect has been addressed, the settings dialog now stays square on top, etc. I noticed errors still being reported for older versions of pod-ui in use, so now there are in-app notifications of new versions. As usual, head to the releases page to download the new version and give it a try. If you have other POD devices with MIDI sockets and don't mind doing some testing, do get in touch, I'd love to expand the list of supported devices... Cheers, liet_

I'm proud to announce a new release, version 0.7.1 with multiple usability improvements, especially for Windows users. The new version adds extra logic to work around what seems like buggy PocketPOD MIDI drivers that would leave the app hanging if it is closed while PocketPOD is sending data. It also addresses the "Autodetect" and "Test" buttons functionality in Windows. As a last thing affecting stability of all platforms, I've rewritten the MIDI message parsing code to be more resilient against non-Line6 SysEx messages. The parser doesn't make any assumptions anymore and therefore doesn't crash. As usual, head over to the release page to download the new version and take it for a spin. Cheers, liet_

I would like to shamelessly plug my own solution here. I just released a version of pod-ui software for modern OSes (Linux, Windows, MacOS) with support for PocketPOD. Get a copy over at github releases page and take it for a spin. Positive feedback and bug reports are greatly appreciated. I also post updates and announcements in this topic. BR, liet_

Hi, PocketPOD has a USB port (mini-B), you can connect it to your computer with a standard USB A to mini-B cable (provided you have USB A ports), which will then show up as a "Line6 PocketPOD" MIDI device on your computer. If you connect your Midi Commander to your computer as well, you'll be able to cross-connect these in software. Otherwise, I'm not sure you would be able to connect the two. BR, liet_

Dear friends, Please welcome the version 0.7.0 with proper Pocket POD support. head over to the releases page to download the new release and give it a try. Besides the already-mentioned Pocket POD support, there was a whole bunch of bug-fixes and usability improvements. Version 0.6.0 broke the little panic indicator that comes up when one of the app threads crashes. It has now been fixed. Device auto-detect when there is 1 MIDI input/output port has been fixed. Delay time indicator was showing an incorrect value and the value loading from/storing to the program dump was incorrect. Fixed now. Most importantly, when changing the amp model or effects type, the app now requests a program dump from the device much like the official Line6 Edit & Vyzex apps. This is due to the fact that making this changes also may switch cab model, reverb type, etc. Now the UI should correctly show current device settings! Please don't hesitate to report bugs over at the github pages. A user kindly offered his testing help with his PODxt, so I guess that's what we're aiming for next... Cheers, liet_

Hot on the heels of the recent release comes a fix, version 0.6.1. Somehow I spent too much time working on the software and too little time actually testing it with my POD 2.0 device, but something was just not sitting right with me concerning the earlier "... an amp model drop-down received an out-of-bounds value ..." fix. Sitting down and turning the knobs made me realise that I had the original POD (as in POD 1.0) list of amps and cabs with only 28 amp models instead of the 32 POD 2.0 device supports. That is fixed in the new release. Also, the showing/hiding of the presence knob for POD Pro now follows the same logic as that for POD 2.0 (and how Line6 Edit does it). Ceers, liet_

Dear friends, I'm very excited to announce the release of version 0.6.0 with Pod PRO support. As usual, head over to the releases page to download the new release and take it for a spin. The internals of the app have been refactored to allow a module system, which means that we'll be able so see more hardware supported soon. I know, the app already kinda works with Pocket POD already by the virtue of POD devices talking the same MIDI, but it will soon support the device fully and properly since I have a Pocket POD device sitting on my desk ;) Hopefully, this will make Pod UI more relevant to a wider group of people... Among other fixes we also have a proper high-DPI/Retina display support for MacOS, which means no more grainy and aliased fonts! Also, another issue seen by some Mac users, where an amp model drop-down received an out-of-bounds value and crashed the MIDI thread is now fixed. Please don't hesitate to report issues at the github project issues page. - liet_

Dear friends, I'm pleased to announce version 0.4.0 of pod-ui, a cross-platform tool for controlling POD2.0 modelling app. It's an open-scource app available for Linux, Windows and MacOS. Please check out the release page and download the binary for your platform. I'm just one guy with one POD and would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from Windows and MacOS users. Currently, the app supports controlling POD in real-time as well as loading POD patches from the device and storing them back to the device. I would love to add lib and l6t file loading in the future as well as support for other Line6 device. The pre-compiled binaries on the release page include sentry support, which means that if and when the app crashes, a crash report will be uploaded to the cloud. Otherwise the app does not collect or send any data anywhere else. - liet_

Hi! I'm glad there are people that still have a POD 2.0 in 2022. Like many, I've been frustrated with Line6 Edit and the state of POD support, so I started my own project: https://github.com/arteme/pod-ui/ It is still missing many feature I would like to see, but you can already control most POD features with it. Check out the Windows release at https://github.com/arteme/pod-ui/releases/tag/v0.2.0
