Pod Hd Pro X And Old Longboard A No-go For Sure?

[drader]

Apologies if this has been beaten to death already-I did a search and haven't found what I thought of as an absolute answer (or maybe I'm naive in my hope) but I wanted to confirm that the Pod HD Pro X that I just bought is NOT going to work with that old longer floorboard ( http://line6.com/legacy/images/Floorboard.jpg ).  I had to replace a Pod Pro because it just stopped working one day and decided to just go for the HD Pro X, assuming that, because the floorboard connection was on the back that I'd be able to use the floorboard I already had but it seems to unlikely.  And it gets me, again, cursing and loving technology at the same time.

Well, I have the HD Pro and I use the old shortboard and that works very well. As the HD pro X is, apart form the more powerful DSP chip, the same a the HD Pro I assume the old longboard should work.

No the FloorBoard will not work with the HD series. In fact there has been the XT and X3 series since then that also do not work with the FloorBoard.

 

You need one of the newer series FBV boards, probably this one would do for you:

if it doesn't say FBV on it... it won't work.

and the one in the provided picture is not an FBV model (and wont work)

sorry.

OK, thanks for the replies.  I was hoping there'd be a way to make what I already have work, or at least that I could use one of the three expression pedals I have without having to buy all new stuff but that's not how things work anymore so I think that the quality of wah sounds, etc. isn't worth me paying more to replace something I already have.  I like my HD X but it's too frustrating to have to keep replacing perfectly good and working equipment.
