Hello to you all, I'm owner of a POD HD500X, i had it since Christmas 2014. Still in excellent physical hardware conditions, majorly home-use. I've notice something very peculiar throughout the years, and is that the display has loose some "contrast" from its original parameters. For better understanding I attached a video showing what I'm referring to. In essence, the default LED CONTRAST parameter in the setup page 2, which is 28, On my POD doesn't look that great. Nevertheless, when you set it on the 40-45 range looks really great. Obviously I didn't perform a Factory Reset and no luck. I know some of you are maybe thinking "if your display looks great by just adjusting the LED contrast, whats the big issue here?" My question: It's not normal for a display present this rare behavior ¿its my display slowly "dying"? ¿is it a progressive issue where possibly the LED set at 40-45, right now present goog quality in the future will look awful, as it did one with the default led constrast 28? I'm not interested in spending on a new console unless this one gets faulty like a future bad display. Thank you in advanced, PODDISPLAY.mp4

So I just bought a Pod HD500X and it has this problem that many people seem to be having with it. Often, it will reboot itself randomly over and over again until I unplug it or, occasionally, until I stop playing. I am using the provided power supply and not only have I tried other 500x power supplies but I went to guitar center and bought a new one and it's doing the same thing. Basically I haven't seen this problem resolved so I'm posting this hoping to figure out a solution for everybody who's struggling with these faulty Pods. Notes: I've rebooted myself, holding down the left arrow while plugging in power, to no avail. I've tried updating using Line 6 monkey, but it doesn't show up in the list of devices.

My Variax 500 died and parts are not available to repair it. I am looking to buy a Standard or JT and see the battery is integral to for powering the new models. Will the old foot switch/power supply/stereo 1/4" cable from a 500 power the new models? I like not having to rely on a battery and also being able to route the signal via the foot switch to an amp and PA via the 1/4 and XLR outputs. Haven't been able to determine this from the product info.

Hi, My POD HD500 is great! The sound is good, and everything seems to be working well, except for the expression pedal. It's really not TOO big of a problem, more of a nuisance. When the pedal (whether a whammy, or wah, or whatever) is up it's fine, but when I push the top down to get a full whammy effect, it wont stay at the +24.0 unless I push down. For instance if I lift my foot off the pedal and leave it pressed down, the octave will drop to like +23.4 or +23.5. So the only way I can get the +24.0 octave sound is if I leave my foot pressed down on the pedal. You don't really notice it with the wah, but with the whammy it sounds pretty bad. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Thank you, Marty

Deutsch Français Important Notes: These instructions also apply to POD HD400 and POD HD300 and their associated editors. It is highly recommended that these updates are installed in a specific sequence. Please see the installation notes* below. Bug Fixes These updates address a bug which allows invalid data to be introduced to presets. The invalid data is caused by asynchronous communication between the POD HD/HD500/HD Pro hardware device and the POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit software application. In rare instances, recalling presets containing invalid data may cause intermittent high volume events. Installing POD HD/HD500/HD Pro firmware v2.62 and POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit v2.26 prevents invalid data from being introduced into presets. During synchronization between POD HD/HD500/HD Pro and POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit, the hardware displays a ‘Sync In Progress’ message and does not respond to any buttons or knobs until synchronization is complete. Additionally, any presets which contain invalid data are reset to an initialized state. These presets are easily identified as ‘New Tone (Reset)’. *Installation Notes Please follow these steps sequentially: Disconnect any audio connections to the POD HD/HD500/HD Pro, connect to the computer via USB and save a preset Bundle, Set Lists, or individual presets from POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit v1.06 (if you do not wish to save any existing presets you may skip this step) Quit the POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit app and launch Line 6 Monkey to install POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit v2.26 Complete the POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit installation and launch Monkey once again to install POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Flash Memory v2.62 During the installation, Monkey will ask if you want to keep your presets, click ‘No’, and complete the installation following the on-screen instructions. On the POD HD500, you *must* reset the global setup options which includes resetting the Setlist names and pedal calibration by: Disconnect the USB cable connection between HD500 and host computer. Power off the POD HD500. Power on the POD HD500 while holding the LEFT ARROW [*] If you do not do this, one of the tell-tale symptoms that may surface after a Monkey Flash Memory update is that the HD500 will be stuck in a continuous re-boot/power cycling state (you'll keep seeing the Logo and the unit keeps re-starting itself). Sometimes this may not occur, but a secondary telltale sign that a user has not performed a Global Settings reset is the USB communication between the HD500 and HD500 Edit software will be extremely slow/sluggish. ***NOTE: Please also make sure to re-calibrate the onboard expression pedal of the HD500 after performing the Global Settings reset. Instructions: How to calibrate the POD HD500X\HD500 Expression Pedal. [*]Launch POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit to restore any saved presets. **Please note that any previously saved presets that were corrupted in any way will be discarded and set to New Tone (Reset) once imported into POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit 2.00.

Instructions de la mise à jour version 2.02 de la firmware POD HD500X/HD500/HD/HD Pro et version 2.00 du logiciel POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit Note importante: Nous recommandons d'installer ces mises à jour dans une séquence spécifique. Veuillez visiter les notes d'installation* au-dessous svp. Corrections d'erreurs: Ces mises à jour corrigent des erreurs qui permettent des données non valides d'être introduits dans les presets. Les données non valides sont causées à cause d'une communication asynchrone entre le POD HD/HD500/HD Pro et le logiciel Edit. Dans cas très rares, l'utilisation des presets qui ont des données non valides dedans, cause des événements intermittents à volume élevé. En installant la version 2.02 de la firmware POD HD/HD500/HD Pro et la version 2.00 de l'Edit de POD HD/HD500/HD Pro, vous bloquez les données non valides d'entrer les presets. Pendant la synchronisation entre POD HD/HD500/HD Pro et le logiciel Edit du POD HD/HD500/HD Pro, l'appareil vous montre le message "Sync In Progress" et ne répond pas aux boutons jusqu'à ce que la synchronisation ait terminée. Les presets avec des données non valides dedans seront réinitialisés. Ces presets ressemblent à ceci: "New Tone (Reset)". *Notes d'installation: Suivez ces étapes une par une: Déconnectez tous les connexions audio du POD HD/HD500/HD Pro. Connectez à l'ordinateur via USB et enregistrez des presets Bundle, Set Lists ou les presets individuels du POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit de la version 1.06.

Aktualisierungsanweisungen zur POD HD500X/HD500/HD/HD Pro Firmware Version 2.02 und POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit Version 2.00 Achtung: Wir empfehlen, dass Sie diese Aktualisierungen in einer spezifischen Sequenz durchführen. Bitte schauen Sie sich dazu die Installationshinweise* unten an. Fehlerbehebungen: Diese Aktualisierungen beheben einen Fehler, der es fehlerhaften Daten erlaubt in Presets abgespeichert zu werden. Die fehlerhaften Daten entstehen aufgrund einer asynchronen Kommunikation zwischen dem POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Gerät und der POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit Software. In seltenen Fällen verursachte der Abruf der fehlerhaften Presets zeitweise Ereignisse sehr hoher Lautstärke. Die Installation der POD HD500X/HD500/HD/HD Pro Firmware Version 2.02 und POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit Version 2.00 hält diese fehlerhaften Daten davon ab, in das Preset zu gelangen. Während der Synchronisierung zwischen HD500X/HD500/HD/HD Pro und POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit zeigt Ihnen das Gerät "Sync In Progress" an und reagiert nicht auf Knopfdrücke bis die Synchronisation vollendet ist. Zusätzlich werden alle Presets, die fehlerhafte Daten bereits enthalten, zurückgesetzt. Diese Presets sehen dann so aus: "New Tone (Reset)". *Installationshinweise: Bitte folgen Sie diesen Etapen der Reihe nach: Trennen Sie alle Audioverbindungen von Ihrem POD HD/HD500/HD Pro, stecken Sie es nun an den Computer via USB und speichern Sie ein Preset für Bundle, Set Lists oder individuelle Presets Ihrer POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit Software V1.06 ab. (Wenn Sie keine Presets abspeichern wollen, dann können Sie diesen Schritt überpsringen.) Schließen Sie die POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit Software und starten Sie Line 6 Monkey um POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit 2.00 zu installieren. Beenden Sie die installation von POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit 2.00 und starten Sie Line 6 Monkey nocheinmal um diesmal POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Flash Memory 2.02 zu installieren. Währender dieser Installation wird Monkey Sie fragen, ob Sie Ihre Prsets behalten wollen. Klicken Sie "No" und schließen Sie die Installation ab indem Sie den Anweisungen auf dem Bildschirm folgen. Auf dem POD HD500 müssen Sie die Global Settings zurücksetzen. Indem Sie: Die USB Kabel entfernen zwischen HD500 und Computer. Das HD500 abschalten. Das HD500 wieder starten während Sie die linke Pfeiltaste ( [*]Wenn Sie dies nicht tun, eines der Symptome nach dem Update könnte sein, dass das HD500 sich unendlich oft neustartet/abschaltet. Manchmal passiert das nicht, aber ein zweites Symptom ist eine extrem langsame USB-Kommunikation zwischen HD500 und HD500 Edit. Achtung, Sie müssen nach dem Reset auch das Pedal des HD500 neu kalibrieren. Anweisungen dazu können Sie hier finden. [*]Starten Sie nun POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit um abgespeicherte Presets wiederherzustellen. Achtung, vorher abgespeicherte Presets, die korrupt waren, werden umbennant in New Tone (Reset) sobald diese in POD HD/HD500/HD Pro Edit 2.00 importiert werden.

Hi, I've been successful in changing patches on my Pod HD500 using Cubase LE AI Elements 8, but the Pod just doesn't toggle the effects on/off when a midi command is sent to it. The Pod is sending and receiving signal as I have even recorded effect toggles from it to a MIDI track, but the Pod only responds to the patch changes, not the effects toggling. I'm not sure if I need to change any settings in the Generic Remote Settings. Can anyone help please? :)

Deutsch Français If the Onboard expression pedal of the POD HD500 does not sweep through parameter values as it normally would, you may need to perform a pedal calibration to reset the functionality of the expression pedal: Hold the down the RIGHT ARROW button on the 4 Way Nav Pad while powering the unit on, until you see the Test Mode screen (Pedal Cal, etc.), and then proceed with the steps below: If not already selected, use on the 4 Way Nav Pad to select Pedal Cal as shown above. Press the VIEW button. Set the pedal to the minimum "heel" position, then press the A footswitch to set a value for the Duty Cycle. You'll see the value set to "100". Set the pedal to the maximum "toe" position, then press the B footswitch to set a value for the Duty Cycle. Again, you'll see the value set to "100",as in step 3. Press the C footswitch to prepare for automatic selection of the Scaled Pedal Value and move the pedal from min. to max. You should see the Scaled Pedal Values read "0" at the heel position and "255" and the toe position. If you get values other than 0 and 255, power off and repeat these steps, starting at step 1. Press the D footswitch to save the settings. You be returned to the Test Mode screen and the Pedal Cal item will show to indicated that the pedal calibration is complete! Power your device off and back on again to start using it. ***Please Note: Re-calibration of the POD HD500's expression pedal is necessary after performing a Global Settings reset. Instructions for how to perform a Global Settings reset is available here. Pedal-Kalibrierung des POD HD500 Wenn das Onboard Pedal des POD HD500 nicht mehr normal über die Parameterwerte geht, müssen Sie wahrscheinlich das Pedal neu kalibrieren um das Pedal wieder funktionstüchtig zu machen: Halten Sie den rechten Pfeil (>) des Steuerkreuzes gedrückt während Sie das Gerät anschalten bis der "Test Mode" Bildschirm erscheint. (Pedal Cal., u.s.w.) Fahren Sie dann wiefolgt fort: Sofern noch nicht ausgewählt, klicken Sie mit dem Steuerkreuz "Pedal Cal."an. Drücken Sie den "VIEW" Knopf. Setzen Sie das Pedal auf die minimale Fersen-Position (hinteren Teil nach unten drücken), drücken Sie dann den Fußschalter A um den Wert des Tastgrades einzustellen. Der Wert wird sich auf 100 stellen. Setzen Sie das Pedal auf die maximale Zehen-Position (vorderen Teil nach unten drücken), drücken Sie den Fußschalter B um den Wert des Tastgrades einzustellen. Hier wird der Wert sich wiederum auf 100 stellen. Drücken Sie nun den Fußschalter C um die automatische Auswahl des Wertes des skalierten Pedals aufzurufen. Bewegen Sie dann das Pedal vom Minumum zum Maximum. Der Wert dieses "Scaled Pedal Value" sollte hier 0 lauten auf der Position der Ferse und 255 auf der Position der Zehen. Wenn Sie hier andere Werte als 0 und 255 bekommen müssen Sie das Gerät abschalten und bei Schritt 1. anfangen. Drücken Sie den Fußschalter D um die Einstellungen zu speichern. Das Gerät wird wieder zurück auf das Test Modus Fenster gehen und "Pedal Cal." Wird ein "P" anzeigen, welches bedeutet, dass die Kalibrierung vollständig ist.

Hier können Sie eine Anleitung zur Zurücksetzung der globalen Einstellungen finden. Calibration de la pédale POD HD500 Si la pédale à bord du POD HD500 ne balayage plus les valeurs des paramètres comme normalement, vous devez recalibrer la pédale pour réparer la pédale: Maintenez la flèche droite (>) de votre navigation pendant vous démarrez l'appareil jusqu'à ce que la fenêtre "Test Mode" s'ouvre. (Pedal Cal., etc.) Maintenant faites ceci: Si ce n'est pas encore choisissé, cliquez "Pedal Cal". Avec la navigation. Poussez le bouton "VIEW". Mettez la pédale à la position talon, la position minimale (poussez avec le talon), cliquez le commutateur au pied A pour régler la valeur du rapport cyclique. La valeur s'adapte à 100. Mettez la pédale à la position orteils, la position maximale (poussez avec les orteils), cliquez le commutateur au pied B pour régler la valeur du rapport cyclique. La valeur s'adapte à 100. Poussez le commutateur au pied C pour ouvrir la sélection automatique de la valeur de la pédale mise à l'échelle. Déplacez la pédale du minimum au maximum. La valeur doit être "0" sur la position talon et "255" sur la position orteils. Si vous recevez d'autres valeurs, redémarrez l'appareil et commencer par l'étape 1. Poussez le commutateur au pied D pour enregistrer les réglages. L'appareil revient à la fenêtre "Test Mode" et "Pedal Cal." A est marqué avec un "P" qui veut dire que la calibration est terminée. Redémarrez votre POD HD. ***Attention, la recalibration de la pédale du POD HD500 est nécessaire après une réinitialisation de la configuration globale. Ici vous pouvez trouver des instructions concernant cette réinitialisation.

I have a Variax 500, the kind with the battery box for 6 AA batteries. I'd love to put a JTV-style battery into it. Does anyone know if this could be switched in for the stock battery box? -
At the moment I don't have an amp or any speaker to plug my pod into so I can't test my patch out with a high volume, and I have practice next week so I don't want to waste everyone's time trying to figure out which settings to adjust.... so is there a way to raise the volume on the patch and keep the same tone that you currently have? if not, then which settings(mids, gain, bass, etc..) should i start adjusting? higher or lower? I'm going to be plugging in the pod into the system, on the XLR out, should I be plugging it on both left and right or is plugging it in on one side fine? Is there a certain setting, besides the amp volume, that should be the same on all the patches in order to keep the same volume on all of them.

Hey guys, I thought I'd make this a separate post so that it's easier to find for anyone who might be having some issues. The patches for the HD500 do not import directly into the HD500X Edit software at this time. They use different file formats. There is a work-around that I posted earlier, and is being passed around now. All you have to do is change the extension on the patch files: For individual patches, change the extension from .h5e to .5xe For bundles, change the file extension from .h5b to .5xb For setlists, change the file extension from .h5s to .5xs I have found no inconsistencies among the patches from the HD500 Edit to the HD500X Edit using this method. I don't know if/when Line 6 will update the software to allow backwards compatibility, but in the mean time, you can use this method to get your 500 patches to your 500X. UPDATE: Someone else mentioned that you can drag-and-drop individual HD500 files into the tone slots in the 500X Edit software. I can confirm that this works. You will still need to change the file names for set-lists and bundles, though.

I know this is a legacy product, but any insight would be super appreciated. I have a Variax 500 that used to work just fine, but recently stopped producing any sound. For the record, I'm strictly running off batteries at this point but this Variax did use to also work fine with a Pod XT using the variax cable. When I noticed initially the 500 wasn't working, all I got was occasional weird wooshing, spacey sounds, but absolutely no guitar sounds. I checked all the connections, made sure the batteries are fresh, and now I get no sound whatsoever. It doesn't matter where the knobs and switches are, there's just no sound coming out of this guitar. The online research I've done points to "maybe" the bridge cable being bad (it looked fine when I looked at it), but is there anything else I can try and fix to get my 500 working again? thanks!

I have a Variax 500. Being lefthanded, getting a newer Variax isn't possible. But I look at all the new Variax's available, and I'm jealous of the fact that they don't require the VDI cable to power the guitar. They have rechargeable lithium ion batteries. I realize the battery housing is different, but in theory, is there any reason why a new Variax power supply couldn't somehow be retrofitted into a Variax 500?

Is there any way to restore the factory presets or (reset the Hd 400? Mine came with a. Broken preset toggle button I can get totheaction and it says press (enter) and the enter button happeneds to be the preset button that was broken before I bought it

I've had a pair of Variax 300's for quite sometime now. They have served me well, but they can be a little............ temperamental? I never liked the feel of the necks, so a few years back I put a Variax 500 neck (ebay) on one of them. Slight mod a neck joint, but it worked out great, Last year I found another 500 neck on ebay, got it changed the second one. My question, I want to get a JV series. I don't mind either style ( 59 vs 69 ), but would like to know which neck is closer to the 500 neck. If there is a significant weight difference, I may have to consider that as well. Thanks for any info you can share. Al

Hey guys, I am a bass player looking for a really good multiefect and I am a big fan of line6s PODs. Especially the hd500. Now, I didn't tried it out but I heard that the hd 500 is equally good for the bass and the guitar and has all sords of efects and bunch of amps is that true? I am not very in to it so that why I am asking. Also, I have a really good chance to buy the POD 500x, but I don't know is it that good for the bass as the guitar. Because I want to use it for my bass guitar, does it have a bunch of efects and amps? I saw that the POD pro has only one amp for the bass I don't know is it with the hd500x the same? Anyway pls help me :)

Hey there Please can anybody help me? I was always using my POD HD 500 normally with USB and Reaper and everything, but today I'm having this issue: when POD is not plugged in the PC I can hear my guitar normally through Unbalanced Output and headphones, but when I plug it into my PC, sounds goes off in those outputs. I can hear PC's sounds normally, and Reaper is getting signal from it, but very distorted. If I unplug the USB, the sound comes back (despite my PC gets a blue screen, but I've had this issue before when unplugging the USB, and no problems with sound). My PC is a Sony Vaio VGN-FW460J with Windows 10, not sure if it's a problem with it tho. I'm hoping this is not a big issue, I'm depending a lot of my POD for these days!! Any help is welcome, thanks! -
I have a Crate stack and head with an input, insert, and two jacks for a foot switch. Upon research I can see that the Insert jack is for effect pedals, and I need an insert jack or a y-cable (which I haven't gotten to try out yet) I haven't been able to find anything related to these insert jacks and the pod HD500 and I'm wondering if the pod would work if I somehow plugged it into the insert jack and where would I plug the two jacks on the Y side to the pod? Sorry if I don't make sense. I'm not sure I understand how the fx return stuff works on amps and the pod.

I have tried and re-tried but can't seem to get this done. My laptop runs win7. I've got Monkey at 1.71, updated the USB firmware to 1.04, re-booted both POD and laptop ad nauseum, even turned off my Norton... but whenever Monkey tries to update the FW, it thinks it's successful yet shows the driver at 4.2.5.1. My goal is to get my hd500 from 2.32 to 2.62, but I don't want to even attempt this if I can't even get the drivers to update. Anybody got any ideas? Also, when updating the POD Flash Memory, am I supposed to hold down a nav button and power it on somewhere in the process? THANKS (in advance)!

Just got done refinishing one of my 500s with nitrocellulose purchased from Guitar Re-Ranch. This is Fender "sea foam green". The pick guard is from Chandler. Not finished yet. Still need to c-sink the pick guard screws but you get the drift. Prepping another body now that is going to be TV Yellow with the original black pearl pick guard.

I really enjoy building great, weird and huge sounds using my pod hd500 and m5, but I feel like I am not as ‘free’, creatively speaking, as I’d like to be. I love the variety of sounds that fx modelers offer, but amp-wise, I mostly use just 3 sounds; clean, crunch and high-gain and I am happy with the settings I have for the amp models right now. However, the most important part of my sound comes from effects, using big reverbs, delays and often strange combinations of filters and modulation. These, I want to dial in fast. In this regard, I feel that there are two factors that sort of hold me back. Firstly, for every quick idea for a new sound, I have to spend some time getting the amp model right, either by copying an existing preset, or building a new amp, which holds me back from focusing on the core of my sound which, for me personally, are the effects. A second factor holding me back is the fact that as I set a new effect, all standard settings are used, so I cannot have my personal settings for certain effects that I often use. I would like to be able to call up effects on the fly as I like them. Basically, how I imagine it, my perfect setup would involve a pedalboard that is way too big, but with effects at my disposal, whenever I feel like using them. I am asking you for your advice on how to achieve the flexibility I am looking, by using the presets in a different manner, by using the fx-loop differently, by adding an m13, or some other advice that might change the paradigm through which I look at building sounds. My set-up: jtv59 -> pod hd500 -> mackie th12 (btw: I recently started using the pod hd edit software on my macbook, which does deliver a large part of the flexibility I am looking for) Thanks -
So while I had my 500 apart to fix some solder points, I modded it to have regular pickups as well. I routed out space for an HSS configuration, customized a strat pickguard and installed a balance/blend pot to go between the two. Took me a while but it works great.

Is it just me feeling that the latest firmware version 2.10.00 sounds worse? Anybody feel the same? Is it my ears going bad? Although it was released nearly a year ago, I just updated mine, feeling insecure about it. Well, frankly, after every update I feel like it sounded worse and worse. Thinking of going back to the first version back from 2010. My gut feeling is that, before the product launch they worked on it heavily, getting the sound right, then as updates came around, just a few minor group of people worked on the updates based on feedback and bug reports but ultimately breaking the soul of it's sound. If anybody replies with a yes, I'm going back to the old firmware.
