jalevinemd Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 In Performance View, only the category of the blocks is displayed. This gets confusing if you have several different pedals in the same category in any particular scene...as with the photo below of one of mine. Without memorizing every single preset I've created, I've no way of knowing which of the DIST blocks is the fuzz, which is the Tube Screamer or which is the Tube Driver. Similarly, I don't know which MOD pedal is the chorus and which is the flanger. Does anyone know if there is a software update that will allow the blocks to be named for the exact effects pedal they represent or if this is something that's coming in the future. My apologies if this has been discussed already. I'm very new to this forum. Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I doubt if something like this will be coming for POD HD. The best you could do is make physical labels for each switch. In fact, there's someone on this forum who makes labels for purchase: http://line6.com/support/topic/8544-custom-magnetic-labels-for-hd500x-any-interest/?hl=custom+labels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example in my 1A preset, foot switch #4 is a Chorus. But in my 1B preset, switch #4 is a Rotary Drum. I'm really enjoying the HD500X so far but, in my opinion, this is a major design flaw. I'm no computer programmer, but I can't imagine this would be difficult to rectify with some sort of software update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 You're probably right. The good thing is the new Helix fixes this by having an LCD for each switch, if you're looking for a new, more expensive, modeler. But don't get your hopes up for them putting out another update for the POD HD series. You could always try by putting the idea up on http://line6.ideascale.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexKenivel Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 it might be the way my brain is wired, but if I had every one of every kind of effects pedal in the world in front of me, I think I would know which order will be going in for any given situation, & I base it's on that when I run into a problem like this when just the category is shown and not the specific effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvaladez74 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Realistically, in a stage scenario....you can't really read that far down anyway...being how small the text is. Moot point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
