mcdookus Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ive had nothing but trouble with the switches in my hd500x. I should say now that im a 42 yr old that treats all my gear with cotton gloves (so im not a 16yr old that goes jumping all over my pedals) Firstly, 2 switches broke after about 8 months use and it started jumping between patches. I returned it to thomann and after 3 weeks they returned it. Went to the studio and it still had the same problem. Contavted line 6 that put me in touch with one of their service centers. I took it to them and they replaced all 12 switches...... now after only 3 months a switch has died on me again!! I spoke to the service center and was told that what keeps breaking is these little generic cheap micro switches and im not the 1st person to have this problem. I could get it done under warranty but was wondering, has anyone upgraded theae switches to more expensive,durable switches. I know i'll void the warranty etc but id rather have the piece of mind that a switch wont break at a show. I love the unit apart from the switches. I used to play through eventide and strymon boxes for 3 yrs without any problem and not a single switch problem. Surely line 6 beed to up their moving parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
