  1. After waiting a VERY long time we finally have an update to Pod Go, which is extremely welcome! However, the one key feature I was really hoping for (and with all the hints around a re-written cab engine, we had good reason for hope) is still missing - no stereo cab block! This means that the Pod Go can't be used for stereo effects into the PA if you still want to hear those effects on-stage - the pre-cab tap point for on-stage monitor would be really useful, but all stereo capable effects have to be placed AFTER the cab block, so you can't hear them on stage!! - this is a huge limitation of the Pod Go and should have been fixed in 2.0, with the re-written cab engine - is there any hope at all that this feature will come soon in an update?
  2. Hi All Do we have any POD repair experience on this forum? My POD 2 (FBV) is flashing a particular sequence on start-up and the voltage on the DC regulators is oscillating up and down. Interestingly, if I put into Test mode and run all the tests it has stable DC voltages and passes most of them bar the potentiometer range tests. Any help appreciated from anyone who has done low-level POD circuit troubleshooting. Cheers
  3. Gotta 2.0 Pod and I wanna combine chorus, delay, & compression. I only know how to save one effect at a time though. How might I save all 3 at once? Thanks for any help.
  4. Update Instructions Available HERE NOTE: For X3 Live and X3 Pro users, see notes on subsequent firmware releases at https://line6.com/software/index.html. POD X3 Product Family Flash Memory v2.0 RELEASE NOTES: If you are a POD X3/X3 Live/X3 Pro owner, please download and install the latest version of Line 6 Monkey software and use it to update your POD X3 Live to this latest version of Flash Memory. For best results, calibrate pedal after update] POD X3 v2.0 is a FREE update to all POD X3 Product Family customers. It includes 12 additional FX inspired by the sounds of sought-after stompboxes and rack gear! What does it include? Vocoder: Our 14 band Vocoder is based on the classic rack units employed by recording studios and modular synths since the early '70s. Use the decay knob to slow down the Vocoder's responsiveness to create some haunting drones. Dynamic Delay: Made popular by the T.C. Electronic® 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay. While you play, the Dynamic Delay keeps the volume of the echoes turned down, so that the echoes don't overwhelm what you're doing. Dimension: Based on* the Roland® Dimension D. One of the first true stereo chorus units. Relatively subtle in its nature, it became an industry standard for double-track effects. Pitch Vibrato: Based on* the Boss® VB-2. It contained a circuit that produced bubbly vibrato, but was popular for its 'rise time' control that when engaged, sped up to where you last set it. Voice Box: Inspired by Vocoders, Vocal Tracts & Surgical Tubing. This model gives your guitar a sound that's typical of a classic talk box. V-Tron: Voice Box meets Mu-Tron® III. In this model your guitar again 'speaks' with an almost human voice, but now it does so in response to your playing. Octisynth: Inspired by eight armed denizens of the deep. Everyone knows that all you need is a bottleneck and a reverb tank to get whale sounds, but how about our friend the Octopus? Q Filter: Your very own parked wah! You've heard it before from Mark Knopfler and from Brian May of Queen's a wah 'parked' in one position. Pattern Tremolo: Inspired by* Lightfoot Labs Goatkeeper. This effect is what you'd get if you could hook up a vintage keyboard sequencer to a tremolo. Frequency Shifter: A ring modulator gives you both up and down shifted frequencies. Here you can select just the up or down shifted frequencies. Barberpole Phaser: A classic effect from the world of modular synths. This phaser either sounds like it's always going up or always down depending on how you set it. Set to stereo you get both! Script Phaser: Based on* MXR® Phase 90. Just like the original our model only features a Speed control * All product names used in this webpage are trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated or affiliated with Line 6.

  5. POD HD Flash Memory v2.62 RELEASE NOTES POD HD v2.62 is a FREE firmware update that includes additional features and optimizations. It is highly recommended that all POD HD users perform this update! It is also recommended that you back up your current presets by using POD HD Edit to create a preset bundle, allowing you to include installing new presets as part of the update process. The easiest way to perform the update process is by installing the latest version of Line 6 Monkey. Once you've connected your POD HD to your computer via USB port (hubs are not supported), Monkey will recognize the unit and take you through the update process. It's important to update both the USB Firmware (1.04) and Flash Memory (2.62). The Line 6 Monkey application may be downloaded here. What's New? Global EQ - Global EQ is used for compensating for the wide disparity in acoustic environments on tour or when traveling from studio to studio, and is applied to all setlists and presets. Global EQ features three fully parametric bands plus variable low and high cut filters. To access Global EQ: Press and hold the VIEW button to open the Setup Menu. Using the four-way, cursor right until you see the Global EQ screen. Turn Knob 1 to select the desired EQ band (Low Cut, Low, Mid, High, High Cut) and turn Knobs 2, 3, and/or 4 to adjust the selected band. To bypass or enable Global EQ, press ENTER. NOTE-Due to L6 LINK’s flexible routing, Global EQ is not available at this output. Support for optional Model Packs-Firmware 2.62 supports three new Amp/Cab Model Packs: Metal Pack-includes models based on* modern heavy gain amps like the Peavey® 5150® and a remastered JCM800 Vintage Pack-includes models based on* classics like the Vox® AC30 Fawn and the Orange® OR80 Bass Pack-includes models based on* an Ampeg® SVT and a GK Gallien-Kruger 800RB Model Packs can be purchased here.

  6. Hey there -- I've been using the POD for a long time for live sound and have had a hard time finding a good, crisp clean tone. A friend suggested I download tones from the website. I bought a MIDI -> USB cable and plugged it in, used monkey, downloaded the software... and now it's not recognizing that the POD is plugged in. Any steps I'm missing? Do I also need to plug in the ethernet cable? Set the pod to midi? Do I need a second cable? This is the cable I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360671860164 I definitely need this explained like I'm 5. Thanks! Jeff
  7. Hi, I want to buy a spider jam. I notice that they were released in 2008. Is the current version for sale in shops still that version? or is there such a thing, spider jam 2.0? I have seen some youtube videos with the 2.0. There is one for sale in the local music shop in Kuala Lumpur that is the authorised distributor but I am unable to to determine if it is an old stock original or a newer 2.0 version. If the 2.0 exists, what is the difference to the original? Thanks!
  8. I posted this on TGP, and I figured I should post here as well. I think others are having the same issue, so maybe we can help find the cause; I was unsuccessful with the Helix 2.0 update today. After using the Line 6 Updater on 2 different computers (both running Windows 7), my Helix is bricked. I get either a blank screen, or I get alternating Helix and Helix Rack logos. I finally called customer support. The guy I talked to walked me through the update process again with no success. Then he had me try to revert to 1.10 using the Updater software, but that didn't work either. Apparently, multiple people have had this issue and they have not been able to determine the source of the problem. The service rep said it doesn't seem to be a Windows/Mac thing. Unfortunately, I now have to send my Helix in to Line 6 and wait for them to find a fix. He said it may take a couple of weeks to resolve and fix the issue. I've got 2 gigs next week, so I'm going to have to go back to analog. Luckily, I haven't sold any of my pedalboard (I was thinking of doing exactly that!). I've come to really rely on the Helix, but I'll manage just fine. I just wanted to warn people about the issue.
  9. I want to get ride of a split and merge in my signal path and cannot figure out how to do so, either on my Helix or in the editor. Please help :)
  10. There are plenty of new factory presets in 2.00 release. In fact, there are 53 new factory presets. I catalogued them all on my site. There were also 17 old factory presets eliminated. FACTORY 2 was not a full set list which is why fewer were deleted than added. You can find the full list on my site as well as a download link if you want the missing factory presets back (they've already been converted to 2.00 patch file format by import/export to the new Helix app).
  11. So I have just recently bought a XLR microphone for doing livestreams but I want to have control over multi effects in games as well so I can have a reverb while I talk to people to sike them out. The problem is the mic works for chatting live, but not when I am live with Pod Farm 2.0 open. The needles on the meters do not move when not in pod but do once I am in pod but the mic is dead for the computer. All drivers were reinstall so I am at a standstill.
  12. Hi there, I gut aware that with the big floorboard one can adjust the volume pedal so that it constantly works like in a send.return mode (to not affect the distortion); I seemed already but it seems monkey (?) does not mach with the Pod 2.0 device...(well I´m not quite acquainted to programming either- got a MacBook OXMarivercks.) Thanx for assistance!
  13. After reading a topic, "Putting 11's On Jtv 69" about going to heavier strings (10's to 11's), people thought that it improved the acoustic models but made the overall volume louder due to the increased downward tension on the piezo's. Many feel that release 2.0 firmware improves the acoustic models, and most of the electric models, but has decreased outputs. What if you do both. Bump output up with 11's, and take it back with 2.0 while getting improved models. Just an idea. I would try it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately I went to 11's already at 1.9 for improved acoustic sounds. I play in a church band and I save a different preset for each song with the HD500, so I don't want to load 2.0 and throw everything off at this point. And no, I don't want to switch to 2.0 and 12's (ouch). 11's were not bad to get used to after 10's. Someday I'll play with string volumes in Workbench.
  14. Hello, I'm new to the forum and to Line 6 products. I just bought a used DT-25 from GC and would appreciate some assistance regarding the version 2.0 Firmware Update. I also own a HD500X & JTV-69 HSS if that helps with assisting me. I'm really a novice when comes to MIDI, DT-25 & POD HD500X and ask that your assistance be as detailed and complete as possible. I really appreciate it! How/where can I find which firmware version is currently installed in the DT-25? If I am satisfied which amps are assigned to voicings 1-4, do I really need to do this firmware update? Do I need to buy a MIDI to USB cable, and two MIDI cables to do this firmware update (if I find it hasn't been done)? If I do need to buy the cables, where would I find a cheap MIDI to USB (the one I found on Sweetwater is $50!) Is there any other device, cable, etc I also need to buy? In the DT Firmware Installation Guide I find the following confusing... 'Connect your MIDI interface to your computer, and ensure that it functions properly. Then connect your MIDI interface to your DT amp via the two MIDI cables. The MIDI “Out†of your interface should connect to the DT amp’s MIDI “Input,†and the MIDI “Output†of the DT amp should return to the MIDI “Input†jack on your MIDI interface.' The statement above is completely Chinese to me! What is the 'MIDI Interface' (is this another thing I have to buy + the cables)? And how would I connect it to my computer? Thanks in advance for all who assist me. Dr. C
  15. I have a JTV-89 (korean - stoptail) running 2.0 firmware. Strung with DR Pure blues 9's. I don't play metal so this isn't the classic palm muting scenario, but I just have a habit of resting my hand across the bridge saddles when I play (pick or fingers). This results in the occasional pop and click at random when the modelling is turned on. I am not actively putting pressure on the saddles, it's just a comfortable place to rest hand that developed over years of sitting on a couch with a les paul. The further away I keep my right hand from the bridge the less it happens but it's still annoying. I have tried lowering the global string volume to -3db and -6db but neither made the problem go away. Are the piezos that sensitive to direct downward pressure? Any info would be helpful. Problem number 2: I'm a bass player. Problem number 3: I like to occasionally slap/pop on a guitar as if I would on a bass. The modeling system REALLY doesn't work with this technique. The mags work fine. Again, I suspect it is an issue of the direction of the force. All the modelling seems to pick up are the harmonics, very little fundemental and no attack. It is an interesting phenomenon to me because I have an NS CR4 electric upright wich also uses a piezo system but has a variable control for how the system deals with attack (bowed or pizz). Since guitars largely aren't designed for this sort of anything perhaps there should be no expectation that in the future this would be a consideration but I wouldn't complain as I like using bass techiques on guitar from time to time.
  16. Q: Will PODxt or X3 tones work with the POD HD series? A: No. The POD HD tone architecture was built from the ground up and is different then our XT ands X3 series of PODs. Q: Will POD HD500X/500 tones work with the smaller 300 and 400 HD PODs? A: No. The POD HD500 routing capabilities make it far more flexible than the HD300 and HD400. Because of this, tones created in the HD500 will not translate over to the HD300 and HD400.
  17. Q: What is the warranty of the original POD and POD 2.0? A: The warranty of the original POD/POD 2.0 is twelve (12) months from the date of purchase when bought new from an authorized Line 6 dealer. Q: Where can I download a manual for the original POD/POD 2.0? A: Line 6 Manuals Note: If the pedal jack of your POD is labeled "pedal" than it is NOT compatible with our FBV line of foot controllers. If the pedal jack of your POD is labeled "FBV" then it WILL work with our FBV line of foot controllers. Q: Which foot controllers are compatible with the original POD/POD 2.0? A: The original PODs and POD 2.0s that are labeled 'Pedal' above the RJ45 pedal connection are compatible with the older Line 6 FB4 and the Line Floor Board. Those PODs that are labeled 'FBV' above the RJ45 pedal connection are compatible with the current FBV series of foot controllers. Q: Is it possible to upgrade my POD 1 to a Bass POD? A: Unfortunately, there is no upgrade path between the Pod and Bass Pod. Q: How do I upgrade or check the Firmware/EPROM version of my POD/POD 2.0/POD Pro? A: Firmware EPROMs are no longer available from Line 6. Please check out the EPROM Upgrade and F.A.Q. document for more information. SECONDARY FUNCTIONS Hold down the TAP TEMPO button and press MANUAL. This will "virtually latch" the TAP button in the depressed position so that you can access the secondary functions without holding down the TAP button. This leaves both hands free for playing the guitar and auditioning the changes. Press TAP again to deactivate it. Q: Does the POD have a MIDI through? A: The POD does not have midi thru, only midi in and midi out. Q: How do I connect my POD's MIDI In and Out to my computer? A: Please check out the Original POD Computer Connectivity document. Q: How do I record the audio signal of my POD 2.0 directly into my computer? A: In order to record the audio signal of your POD / POD 2.0 directly into your computer, you will first need the proper type of software that is capable of recording audio loaded into your computer. You will also need a sound card that has an audio input. If you have a Soundblaster type of card, you will need a cable that has two 1/4 inch mono plugs on one end and one 1/8 inch stereo plug. This cable can be found at most major music retailers. The two 1/4 inch mono jacks on this cable will need to be inserted into the POD's Left and Right Outputs and the other end of the cable should be inserted into the audio input of your computer's sound card. Make sure your sound card and audio software are configured to receive audio input and you should be ready to record. If you are using another type of soundcard, like a unit that has an external break out box, you can plug directly into that box using a regualr guitar cable of a balanced (TRS) cable. Be sure to check the documentation that came with the unit to configure it correctly. Q: Can the Pod Pro be used as a mic pre? A: The POD Pro does not have a XLR, balanced input which is what is needed for most low impedance microphones. Technically, you could use an impedance transformer to convert a low impedance mic line to high impedance or use a high impedance mic and then use the POD as a mic pre but you may not get the greatest, most noise-free results as the POD Pro was not really designed for this application. That said, you may try it out and find a sound that is quite interesting and useful so let your ears be your guide! Q: Is it possible to use the preset amp models with a different speaker cab model other than the pre set one? If so how do you do it? A: Just hold down the Tap Tempo button on POD while turning the Effects knob to switch cabinet models. You can view or download the owners manuals for all Line 6 products at our User Manuals Page. I noticed that when using POD without a MIDI editor on PC, you're not able to control your feedback on delay effect. POD version 1.4 (or earlier versions) will not store the delay feedback. This has been addressed in POD 2. Not only will 2.0 store delay feedback but you can also adjust it from the front of the POD. Please contact us directly for an EPROM upgrade of your POD. Q: How can I control the "Delay Level" on my POD when using the Delay in conjunction with another effect? A: When using the POD or POD Pro, the Delay Level and Delay Feedback can be adjusted by holding down the TAP TEMPO button and turning the MIDDLE knob for Delay Level and the BASS knob for Delay Feedback. Also, REVERB Decay can be adjusted by holding down TAP TEMPO and turning the REVERB knob. More information can be found in the EFFECTS section of the POD manual. How to correlate delay knob settings to Milliseconds Here is a chart that correlates Effect Tweak knob settings to delay time in ms. Please remember that these are estimates and you may need to move the knob a little to get the exact setting. Knob setting Milliseconds 0-75 1-76 2-100 3-146 4-225 5-350 6-625 7-850 8-1400 9-2600 Q: Did you create a pitch shift or harmonizer effect for thePOD PRO? If so, can I download it from your web site? A: No. There is no harmonizing/pitch shifter patch to download into the Pod Pro. Q: How do I install a new EPROM upgrade chip in the POD/POD 2.0? A: To install the Pod EPROM, take the four screws out of the back of the pod to expose the main PC board, it would be the largest chip on the board. Remove the chip with a flat screwdriver and replace with the new one. There is a notch on the socket on the PC board, line up the notch on the chip with the notch on the socket. NOTE: We no longer have any POD PRO EPROMS. You may be able to find a user on our forums or elsewhere online who has an extra chip that they would be willing to give you. Q: Why isn't POD 2.0 equipped with an XLR direct output jack? Instead you have equipped it with left and right 1/4" jacks, making it still necessary to use a DI box when running it directly into the snake/mixer when playing live. A:The POD's output jacks are TRS connectors. If you use standard mono cables, you will get -10, unbalanced signal. If you use TRS connectors, you will get +4 balanced signal. Q: What are the differences in features between all of the Firmware versions of the POD? POD Version 1.x differences from POD version 2.0 4 More amp models - line6 twang,crunch# 2, Blues, and insane. Can access all 32 amp models from the front panel - without midi. With Tap Tempo held down the following dials change: Drive - Distortion (on/off) Bass - Delay feedback Middle - Delay Level Treble - Presence boost (on/off) Channel Volume - Drive Boost (on/off) Reverb - Reverb Decay Effect Tweak - Tap Tempo Speed Amp Models - Other 16 amp models Effect - Cab Models [*]The Marshall off axis cab sim went away and was replaced with Marshall w/greenbacks. [*]Amp and effects customization feature was added: [*]Ability to store your favorite settings for amps and effects, so that next time you turn the dial, they are how you like them. Set an amp model how you like it (or effect). Hold down save and Tap Tempo (Manual, Tap Tempo, A, and B start to flash) Hit (A) to save the amp settings. And ( B) to save save the effects setting. Next time you move to that amp/effect it will be set how you like it. Does not work in manual mode. POD can be "tuned" to work with different amp setups Hold down SAVE while powering up Press UP and DOWN to select: A - POD feeding Power amp and closed back cab. B - POD feeding Power amp and open back cab C - POD in front of combo/head and open back cab D - POD in front of combo /head and closed back cab POD version 2.1 is different from 2.2: Latch mode was added. Hold down Tap Tempo and Manual at the same time for about 3 seconds. Tap tempo will flash slowly on older POD's. There is no visual indication of Latch mode on newer (v 2.54) FBV compatible PODs. [*]All dials act as if you are holding down Tap Tempo. [*]Press Tap Tempo one more time to disengage Latch Mode. [*]Delay spill-over was removed to allow latch mode. When you switch patches, your delay will not carry over, it turns off. POD version 2.2 is different from 2.3: Some amp models were slightly changed, most noticeably the Marshall sims. Some cab models were changed. Q: What is the difference between the original POD/POD 2.0 and the newer POD 2.0? A: The most obvious differrences are the display now have a different 3-digit LCD display and the POD is now labeled 'FBV' above the RJ45 connection to show compatibility with the FBV series foot controllers. These newer POD 2.0's are not compatible with the older FB4 or Line 6 Floor Board controllers. The newer POD 2.0 also has a different processor from the original and is not upgradeable via EPROM chip. Also, because of this new processor, the modeling of this POD 2.0 may sound slightly different that an original POD 2.0. Q: How do I bypass the amp models in the POD? A: Unfortunately, you cannot bypass the amp models in the POD. You can, however, set up some patches that sound as if there was no amp model being used. The most transparent model on the Pod is the "Tube Preamp" model. It is designed to be flat and uncolored, and does not have any cabinet modeling. Set your bass, mids, and treble to 12 o'clock for a "flat" setting. Q: What amps, cabs, and effects are included in the POD/POD Pro? A: Please review the cab models.pdf file below for reference. Q: How do I know what cab model I have connected to my amp? A: There are two cabinet setups in the POD 2.0: Cabinet Tuning: In cabinet select mode, simply hold the "TAP" button and turn the effect knob to scroll through different cabinet sounds. Cabinet Select: Your POD can be tuned for optimal performance with a variety of systems when the A.I.R. switch is set to its AMP position. By default, your POD expects be plugged in before an open-backed cabinet. If you want to plug into something else, you'll want to change the Cabinet Tuning Mode. To do this: Hold the Save button while powering up your POD. The POD's display will show a letter for one of the Cabinet Tuning Modes; press the Up and Down arrows to pick the mode, then press Save. Use Mode (A-D) when POD is (A-D) & your speaker cabs are (A-D) A feeding power amp closed back (ideal for 4x12 cab) B feeding power amp open back (ideal for 1x12 cab) C (default) in front of combo/head open back (ideal for 1x12 or 2x12 cab) D in front of combo/head closed back (ideal for 4x12 cab) Q: Is it possible to use a MIDI controller with my Line 6 device? A: All of the Line 6 products equipped with MIDI inputs and outputs can be controlled by another external MIDI device. The most commonly used are the Voodoo Labs Ground Control and the Behringer FCB 1010. Since you can not adjust the values on most Line 6 products that receive MIDI information, issues with communication are generally resolved by programming the sending unit correctly. Basically, the POD only knows that when you send it MIDI MESSAGE "A" it will do ACTION "A". Since this can not be changed in the POD (and most other Line 6 products) you need to make sure that your foot controller (or other controlling device) is sending MIDI MESSAGE "A" Please refer to the back of your Line 6 user manual for a list of all MIDI events pertaining to your product. For more on MIDI, check out this site: http://www.midi.org/ POD Input Levels Q: Will line level inputs into the POD destroy it? The manual says the POD is built for guitar level inputs, but can you run line level inputs from keyboards into the POD without messing it up? A: You won't destroy it, but the overall sound quality may leave something to be desired. You might want to try a buffer/direct box between your keyboard and the Pod to lower the level back down to instrument level settings. Tap Tempo Times Q: How do I set the TAP TEMPO button to a specific number? A: Remember that the tweak knob is an analog pot, so to get it exact, you may have to move it a little + or -. Refer to the Delay Time Settings chart below. Delay Level Adjustments Q: How can I control the "Delay Level" on my POD when using the Delay in conjunction with another effect? A: When using the POD or POD Pro, the Delay Level and Delay Feedback can be adjusted by holding down the TAP TEMPO button and turning the MIDDLE knob for Delay Level and the BASS knob for Delay Feedback. Also, REVERB Decay can be adjusted by holding down TAP TEMPO and turning the REVERB knob. More information can be found in the EFFECTS section of the POD manual. No Tuner Control via MIDI Q: Is there a way to use MIDI control to turn the tuner mode on and off? A: There is no MIDI sysex assignment of the tuner ON/OFF function. Switching Cab Models Q: Is it possible to use the preset amp models with a different speaker cab model other than the pre set one? If so how do you do it? A: Just hold down the Tap Tempo button on POD while turning the Effects knob to switch cabinet models. Delay Time Settings Q: How do I correlate delay knob settings to Milliseconds? A: Here is a chart that correlates Effect Tweak knob settings to delay time in ms. Please remember that these are estimates and you may need to move the knob a little to get the exact setting. Knob setting Milliseconds 0 75 1 76 2 100 3 146 4 225 5 350 6 625 7 850 8 1400 9 2600 10 3070 midigraphics.pdf cab models.pdf

A: In order to establish communication between your POD's MIDI In and Out and your computer, you will need a MIDI-USB Interface, such as the Roland UM-ONE or a MIDI interface, two standard MIDI cables and the cables necessary to connect the interface to your computer. If your computer is equipped with a Sound Blaster type MPU 401 sound card, you can simply use a Joystick Port to MIDI adapter cable. This cable will allow you to connect your POD's MIDI directly to your computers sound card and establish communication between your POD's MIDI and your computer. The cable should provide MIDI In and Out jacks on one end as well as a Joystick "Thru" connector on the other. The "Thru" connector will enable you to connect a game controller as well as the MIDI cable to your computer at the same time. Please be aware that some Windows computer systems have MIDI driver incompatibility issues that prohibit the use of the joystick port with MIDI products. These Windows machines will also need a MIDI interface.
  19. Line 6 no longer offers EPROM upgrades. Technology life cycle has made it not viable to buy the blank EPROMs through normal commercial channels any longer. We had small quantities of the EPROM for AXsys/AX2 Flextone II, POD Pro, Bass POD Pro, POD2 (original), and Bass POD to begin with, and we have run out completely. Q: What is a Line 6 EPROM Upgrade? A: An EPROM upgrade is a newer version of the firmware (flash memory) for a Line 6 unit that does not have USB capability to upgrade via the internet. Q: What are the latest versions of the Line 6 EPROM upgradeable units? A: The latest versions of EPROM are: POD: V2.3 The Pod 2.3 firmware upgrade includes recoded cabinet models as well as a few amp models. In addition, we added some test routines and addressed a minor bug or two. You should notice a little more detail, clarity, and presence in your tone because of these enhancements. The newer FBV version of the POD 2.0 will show 2.54 when checking EPROM, but these units are not upgradeable via EPROM chip. POD Pro: V1.3 Bass Pod: V1.5 Bass Pod Pro: V1.4 Flextone II: V2.4 Flextone II HD: V1.3 Q: How do I find the current version of the POD EPROM? A: To find the current version of software installed in your POD, press and hold the MANUAL button while turning on the POD. The display will first read "POD" and then the software version will follow. Continue to hold the button until the preset shows up and you will be sure to see the complete version. Upon normal power up, it will only show version 2.0. Q: How can I check the version of software on a Flextone II or III? A: Hold down the C button as you power up. The D channel will flash and then the SAVE channel will flash. The number of D flashes = X The number of Save flashes = .X So if the D flashes twice and the SAVE button flashes twice, your version is 2.2. Q: Is there a way to upgrade a POD to a Bass POD ("BOD") or Vice versa? A: Unfortunately, there is no upgrade path between the Pod and Bass Pod. Q: How do I install a new EPROM upgrade chip in the POD/POD 2.0? A: To install the Pod EPROM, take the four screws out of the back of the pod to expose the main PC board, it would be the largest chip on the board. Remove the chip with a flat screwdriver and replace with the new one. There is a notch on the socket on the PC board, line up the notch on the chip with the notch on the socket.
