kreator1972 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Anybody else got problem with the secondary expression pedal? I use my Pod hd pro with the Shortboard MKII and decided to add a secondary expression pedal, at first I bought the M-audio exp and was not detected correctly so I think it was defected, so I went and get the Line6 EX-1 and now got same problem: If I connect it , it gets detected and the volume and wah lights come on, but as soon as I change patch it stop working, I have to unplug/plug it back to make it work correctly again I searched in the line6 forums and no solution found but seam like other people have the problem since latest pod hd firmware update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikemike Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hello Kreator 1972 I have exactly the same probem than you. I will try to rollback the flash memory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikemike Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Alleluia!!!!!!! I rollback the flash memory (2.62 to 1.32) and for the moment it works. I hope it will continue. So if it is ok, it is a bug from the flash memory and not a problem from the shortboard... I invite you to do the same manipulation with line 6 monkey in order to confirm if it is THE problem. Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreator1972 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Since I bought the Hd model pack I can not rollback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikemike Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Normally you can... Open line6 monkey; Connect your device (mind is POD HD Pro X) Click on device firmware; Click on flash memory and the rollback button appears on the right; Click on it and choose 1.32 version Follow the instructions Power off your device Power on your device It works Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreator1972 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I know how to do it but what I mean is that sin I just bought the HD amps package at 99$ If I flash to lower version they won't work anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikemike Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I don't understand, you bought HD amps package? Is it flash memory because if it is, normally it's free. However, is it possible to do just a test please. Ok you will not enable to use the HD amps package but you will know if it works or not and to have a claim. Since I did that, no problem on the horizon. I think I'll try to explain all what I did to the lines 6 assistance hoping to have answers, and especially to have the last flash memory version with no bugs.

nostrad Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Not very helpful as an addition but I can confirm I have the same issue. - HD PROX with FBV Shortboard MkII - Mission Engineering pedal - HD Amps installed Second pedal needs to be unplugged and plugged in again every time a patch changes rendering it unusable in any practical situation. The change of patch also renders EXP1 inoperative on most / some occasions. I haven't done extensive testing though. Not rushing to rollback firmware to check due to HD Amp pack but suspect you are right this is a bug in new firmware, given when the timing of when I noticed the problem and your reported fix. I am going to open a ticket, if others do the same perhaps it will be addressed as a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondiedk Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've Got kind of The same problem, though it seems like I can avoid the problem by not using the toe switch, so that means no wah. Line6 please address this ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostrad Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hello all on the thread. I raised a ticket with Line6 about this. The upshot of which is they do not believe this is an issue with the Line6 EX1 pedal but they confirmed it is a known problem with the Line 6 Mission Engineering pedal. Apparently it is on the list of bugs to be fixed but there is no update on when this might be addressed. Not much really, but an update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newidentity Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Raised a ticket on this exact same issue. Like Kreator, I'm using the new HD model packs so not keen to roll back to previous firmware. I really hope Line 6 can fix this soon, as its a shame having the all singing flagship dream rig failing to manage something as simple as running an add on expression pedal. On a brighter note, I'm absolutely loving the new HD models, especially the vintage pack.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newidentity Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Reply from line 6 confirming that they are working on a fix for a future firmware upgrade. As with SJDKD's response, no time scale mentioned, but at least we know its on its way at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newidentity Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Anyone have any more info on this problem / found a fix? Any word on when update is likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreator1972 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 They probably are too busy with the Helix to care about us that have old hardware and make new updates for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostrad Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Sorry, no news from me. I am sure the ticket was closed with the "working on a fix" response, so I guess we will find out, if and when an update rolls out. I am not expecting any update until then.

trueNorth55 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anyone else still having this problem? Like many of you, I purchased the HD pack and do not want to rollback the firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kldk04 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have the same problem. i have the extra hd packs too. emailed them and the solution is I have to ship the fbv to line 6 for them to fix, and it cost $90 per hour because I bought the fbv used. or they will give me a near authorize line 6 service center to bring it to. this is the actual message : Yes, there may be a charge for repairing the Shortboard MKII since your board was purchased used and is not under warranty. We usually charge $90 per hour for repair labor, plus parts and shipping back to you. Depending on how long the repair will take will depend on your costs.Please let me know if you would like to proceed. I will need to forward your ticket to setup the RMA first. Line 6 POD HD PRO X + SHORTBOARD MKII + EX-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostrad Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Not from me. Looking at this thread is a reminder how long the Mission pedal has been in the cupboard. Time to sell! Moving to the rack version didn't do much for me in the end. Am also wondering about Helix now anyway but am struggling to part with the DT. I saw the Helix mission pedal has a toe switch not that it is a huge deal but that would hopefully give the classic Wah pedal feel underfoot as well.

trueNorth55 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 any solutions yet fellas? Nope, I'm still having this problem. Just like sjdkd, my pedal has been sitting on the shelf, with minimal use. There's no way this is a physical problem with the Shortboard or the pedal since restoring to the previous firmware fixes the issue. It doesn't seem like Line 6 is going to revisit this either, as they've moved on to the Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
