Take the card out and see if it does the same thing. Get yourself a 2gb class 2 or lower SD, stay away from SDHC cards. Reflashing can resolve problems but I do it only as a last resort. I've had to reflash mine quite a few times, lost count although I've had it since '08.

i use a 1 gb SanDisk class 2 SD Card. They come in 2 gb also around $20 maybe even less.

How you play the guitar is very important.The tone can come later. when I feel like trying different cabs and other settings i go with the flow and let the tones inspire me to play the guitar. I'm using the DT50 Head, DT25 Cab and the tones you can get from this is mind blowing to say the least, so if you try to swallow all it's possibilities at once you'll choke, lol. According to my calculations I'll never get tired of this thing it will only keep me interested. Heck, I still use the Spider Jam, am only getting to like it more & more and I've had it since 2008.

The disconnect happens to me sometime but not most of the time. Sometimes It stays connected for hours on end. For me the positive out ways the negative.

Come to think of it I may have improved the noise floor a bit when I replaced and biased the power tubes. Maybe the tubes got rattled a bunch during the 3000 mile trek cross country. I read somewhere the tubes are vibration sensitive which is one of the reasons I wanted the head.

YIKES!!!!! LOL "None Shal Pass"

Kinda funny, I was thinking similar as silverhead. I thought maybe your power source is fluctuateing and causeing the issues. Obviously no way to know unless your recepticle is probed to see what's coming out. I hear a bunch of people are starting to use an "Uninterupted Power Supply" in order to thwart problems with these kind of devices, and I'm starting to think that way too.

Your right, it's an unusual problem. You should find out what someone from Line 6 thinks, might be a quality issue that's above the user or it could be nothing to worry about.

That generator failure must've been scary man, smoking keyboards and all WOW!!. I'm not an expert and my DT50 Head has never left the house. I've had to replace the power tubes (originals) in this one after approx. 100 or more hours (around 5 months). It has always had a tiny noise floor if you sit right in front of the cabnet, if I'm 10 feet from it I hardly hear it and when I'm playing I don't hear it. I tink it's normal for this amp just my opinion of course. I only have expereince with this amp, a spider Jam, Spider III 75w, some smaller amps, and amp modelers. When this amp was new and I switched to Topo III, I heard an increase in noise but quickley ignored it and started playing and tweaking. While playing it in Topo III, it sounded good so I just chalked it off as normal for this amp configuation.

That's a good question. What if more pixels starts poop'in out? You might might want to say something now, do a support ticket so at leat there's a record or take it back and return it for an exchange now. From my understanding once a pixel is dead or dying it never gets better and is eventually gone forever.

Sounds Great, I record with my X3 Pro all the time. Nice touch with the video.

I have the DT50 and topo III has more noise (not sure about hum) than the others and I think in both A and A/B and this is when I go into the front with my strat. I think it's the same when I L6 the HD500 into it. Now I'm going to have to pay closer attention next time I fire it up, lol.

If your playing your guitar with the pickups facing your computer screen expect some RF related noise to be injected into your sound. Also be aware RF comes from many other sources as well, such as cell phones (is it in your pocket?), TV's (are you in front of one?), cable modems, home phones VOIP and many others. The guitar in essence is an antenna, in fact years ago ham radio operators used a single wire to recieve and send signals between stations of course the wire had to be the correct OHM value so the length and the gauge of the wire was very important to obtain the proper standing wave ratio. What goes IN must come OUT thus the balance. If your balance was off it usually meant burning out the finals of your radio. Check out this link as it shows the very basics of wire antennas About single wire antennas

I have IE11, it comes with windows updates if you let it. Recently, I had to uninstall flash 'cause of strange stuff that was going on. I agree with duncann about flash and java, they really need to be updated more often. I suppose to fix bugs and security issues although I'm no expert. I won't change IE11 as long as firefox does the trick.

I have "History of the World" Part I, just love the way it opens, hahahaaaa.

I use firefox and things work. Firefox isn't without it's occasional glitch, but ones easily lived with.

GearBox took me sometime getting used but in the end I became more fluent controling it and came to like it. Still use it to this day. It's not a bad thing to read the GearBox manual from time to time. You should strive to be able to build a patch on the fly and as you do you'll find less need for customtone. Whatever you do never let a computer program get the best of you.

I think I have to watch the Holy Grail soon dang it, hahaaaa. Imagine if Mr Fudd ran into those unwooly waskils.

LOL, this computer is perty old, I can only imagine what kind of digital poopy is floating around in it's coconut. Every now and then I give it some penicillin, lol. I have to say it's serving me well. With the "Knights of Ni!" guarding my digital threshold I shall have plenty of shrubbery. Hahaaaa

I downloaded that file and unzipped it.......took while to for my centrino duo 'puter to handle. lol. Thanks

Not a bad idea. I've been thinking about this for quite a while just haven't acted on it yet. I realize now with life experience that not all places have the same quality current, lol. I've always used power strips.

I agree it's a good idea to check the voltage output of the PSU since the op says it got zapped. I've reflashed all my devices countless times with success everytime. I'm of the opinion that sometimes while your making patches something goes wrong during a particular setting change and it just messes up the digital brains so to speak. Suppose a power outage or spike could cause the same scrambling of the brains. Everytime I've had to reflash, it happened while making a change either by using the GUI (HD Edit or other) while connected to a computer or even just making changes way too fast on the device itself.

I understand about being motivated to look hard for the causes of this sort of thing it becomes a drag real quick. When I run into this sort of thing I reflash my pod to eliminate any firmware issues that can easily arise at no real fault of the user. That way I have a fresh start to diagnose my set up with. Good Luck hope your successful. I see what you mean, it does sound like it the preamp section of your tube amp. Maybe a better quality preamp tube would fix it.

I don't think this has anything to do with your hum but here it goes anyway. Do you have the Pro X going into a computer via USB? Is there a tv or computer screen very close to your guitar? RF from tv's, some light bulbs, dimmer switches, any kind of fan, cell phones, home phones, fax machines, cable modems, and a slew of other devices out there can wreak havoc with your sound. If you stay clear of those you'll get a cleaner signal. When I record directly in front of my laptop i get quite a bit of noise with my single coil strat unless I unplug the power cord to my laptop and record on battery power. If I move away from my 'puter and tv I get a cleaner signal but still may have a bit of RF in there if I listen closely. If you put your guitar pick ups right up close the screen or any of these other devices you'll hear what I mean. I was fooling around with my cell phone and decided to record the RF from it while recording once and called it "Digital Dookey". I think there's a 50Hz or 60Hz selection in the settings of the pod maybe try changeing it to see what happens.

I'm not an expert but have read on the subject and from what I can gather the higher sample rate is like taking a bigger picture on a camera in essence more information about your music is being collected (recorded) so it would seem that if your going to do alot of editing after you record you would want to use the higher sample rate which is a very large file because of the massive amount of data collected. I don't hear any difference between the low sample and the high sample but when I record something I do it at the highest sample rate my computer can handle and then compress it into a smaller sample.
