I have not used this POD HD500X much since I bought new 6-7 years ago. I ran into few issues: 1- I just found that the UP-Footswitch that is located far left stops working. I tried to press several times and was not successful. If I tried to twist the locking ring or push the stem sideway it would work but after few times it would not solve. Last night I learned that if I just turned on, the UP Switch would click and work but after 30-45 minutes it would still click but stopped Up function again. If I turn off, wait 15 mins and on it will not work. Other switches are Ok. Right now I have to use Behringer FCB1010 to help. 2- Troubled maintaining revised Presets. I noticed that many presets that I changed or adjusted levels of subcomponents will not remain updated (Amp disappeared, Mixer lowered) I had to redo again and again. Does it have to do with saved directories of files? Or problems with internal memory? 3- View BIG LETTERS: It is a must for playing and it should be default. Why this can't be activated by foot? Why if I use HD500X-Edit on PC and send down, then the Pedal View will change to small letter and stay small? Next thing I have to kneel down with guitar on my neck to tap the view to get back to see BIG 1A....16D. 4- I need full instruction how to program Midi controller, such as Behringer FCB1010. Can I program FCB1010 to resume BIG LETTER and retrieve all other presets? Most position now is the HD500X on desktop. There is a small section in the Tech manual about it but very short and abbreviated. With the price of all gears raised up 100-150% and quality trimmed down 200%, I need to keep and maintain my old collection. Thank you very much,
