I hope I don't earn your further wrath.... but this is where you post directly to Line 6 for product requests: http://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/ .... so don't 'lose' any more of your time here.......

Yes - no problem using both simultaneously. Just be sure you assign the preset Inputs appropriately to get what you want in terms of signal processing.

I responded in your other thread. You generally only need to ask a question once in these forums.

You would connect the JTV 1/4" output to the stompbox chain input, and the stompbox output to the HD Guitar input. Also make sure your HD preset uses Guitar as Input 1. To power the JTV you would use the battery or the VDI connection. If using the VDI you would have the option to also feed the JTV output to the HD as a second Input. If you don't want that make sure the HD preset does not use Variax or Variax Mags as an Input.

Perhaps I misunderstood the question. I thought the OP wanted to know if you could connect the Mobile Keys as an input to the UX-1.

No, the Mobile Keys can't be used with the UX-1. The UX-1 is an audio interface; Mobile Keys uses MIDI.

Have you opened a support ticket for this? Sounds to me like it may be something Line 6 tech support needs to look at. I can't say I've ever heard any clicking with my JTV-59.

The tuner on the HD500 has a Mute setting. Check the display when the tuner is engaged. One of the little knobs controls the Audio setting: Bypass or Mute.

Like moondancer I have used both electric and acoustic guitar in the Guitar input along with a Variax in the VDI . For the electric guitar any feedback issues can be avoided by turning the guitars' Vol up/down as required. It's a little trickier for an acoustic that has no onboard Vol/preamp - it's best to handle that with the HD500 preset Input assignment. For presets that don't use the acoustic, remove Guitar from the Input assignment and make it just Variax.

Also try the tuner on the X3 - see if it is picking up the guitar signal. The tuner when engaged is the first thing that the incoming signal will encounter. Note that the Tuner only works with Tone 1. If the tuner can't see it the problem is likely external to the X3. If the tuner sees the signal the next check is the X3 headphones. If you don't hear anything there, problem is in the X3 - most likely an input or output setting but perhaps a hardware fault. If you hear the sound through the headphones, the next check will be the X3 outputs and downstream gear.

No - the HD500 update is done over usb with Monkey, either automatically with Monkey's help or manually using the update file downloaded to your computer.

I'll try to answer your questions, but in reverse order: 3) The Toe Switch is at the toe position of the pedal. You are right that it is activated by pushing the pedal to its full toe position, but then you need to press really hard at first (really hard!) to activate the switch. Once it gets broken in a bit it will get easier to activate but initially you need to really use your full body weight - you can't do it while sitting down. Stand up and press hard - you won't damage it. 2) When you activate the toe switch successfully as above you will see the EXP1 and EXP2 lights toggling on/off with each press of the switch. This is how you manually switch between them. 1) From the Signal Flow View, select the FX or Amp Block that you want assigned to one of your footswitches. Then Press and hold the ENTER button to display the Footswitch Assign screen. Use Multi-function Knob 1 to select the footswitch to which you want this FX Block assigned - choose FS1 through FS8, the EXP Toe Switch, or None to remove the Block’s assignment. (See Advanced Guide pages 3-11 and 3-12.) To set up a preset using the Wah FX, you should: - Select the Wah FX and position it in your signal chain (normally pre-amp). The Position parameter for the Wah is automatically assigned to EXP1. Check that the pedal is set to EXP1. If necessary, use Toe Switch to set it. - Check that the Wah FX is ON, and that the pedal is controlling its position as desired. If necessary, manually turn the Wah FX ON (with the Enter key in Signal Flow View or in HD Edit). - Assign the Wah FX to the EXP Toe Switch. Check that the Toe Switch turns it On and Off as desired. - Save the preset with the WAH FX either On or Off, depending on what you want its state to be when you recall the preset.

I also think it sounds like a defective unit. I would return/replace it.

See the 'Backup and Restore' section on page 9-6 of the M20d Advanced Guide. Setups and Scenes are saved in this process. You will find the manual under the Support tab at the top right of this page - product Manuals sub-menu.

Sorry - can't have it both ways. When the Looper is in PRE position, it records the dry (unprocessed) signal. Then during playback all processing (amp, FX, tone stack, ...) of the preset is applied to the recorded signal. When the Looper is in POST position, it records the fully processed signal, including all processing (amp, FX, tone stack, ...) of the preset. Then during playback no further processing is applied to the recorded signal.

Are you using the HD500 Looper, or are you recording to a computer? If you are using the Looper place it in POST position.

<p>Yeah - the noise gate is kind of hidden in the Edit section of the HD device. However, it is much more accessible using the computer-based editor (HD300 Edit). It's in the bottom section of every preset window, along with Reverb, Vol, and Wah.

The HD300 and 400 both have a selection of compressors and a noise gate. The compressors are bundled into the FX1 group; one at a time is selectable. The noise gate is not bundled into an FX group; it is separately assignable in all presets.

I agree with BigChas52. The dry signals from the X3L over USB to Cubase are Input 7 (Tone 1) and Input 8 (Tone 2). Record these signals into mono tracks in Cubase. While recording, use the X3L to monitor the wet (processed) signal using whatever preset you wish - the processed sound is not being recorded. After recording, if you wish you can use Gearbox to transfer the X3L preset into the Pod Farm 2.5 tones folder on your computer so that you can use this preset as your starting point for tweaking the sound in Pod Farm 2.5.

That really sucks...... but look on the bright side - I bet you will save your setlists/presets more frequently from now on.

Please see my reply in your duplicate thread: http://line6.com/support/topic/623-please-help-i-lost-my-bundle/

When you press the Send Setlist button in the HD Edit program, the contents of the selected Setlist in HD Edit (presets and Setlist Name) are sent to the HD device, overwriting the existing contents of the HD device. That means the presets stored in the device are replaced by the presets currently stored in the HD Edit program memory on your computer. There is no recovery from that operation if performed mistakenly unless you have a backup of the Setlist that was stored in the HD device prior to performing the SEND command. Carefully check the presets (not just the Setlist Name) in the setlist on your HD device. It's possible that a change in the Setlist Name can make you think that the presets have disappeared when in fact they have not.

Thanks to stumblinman, TheRealZap and Triryche for clarifying my mis-speak. I was referring to expressing our personal opinions. We are indeed under NDA re: non-public product information, and that is a specific gag order.
