Component Question for HD500X

They are tone reservoirs. Before they ship the Pods, Line 6 fill them with mojo from big tanks they have in Calabasas, CA. The tanks themselves are kept topped up via automated collection of vintage juice that comes from their cache of amps kept in storage. The more you play via the Pod the quicker they run out, so be careful!

 

More seriously, my guess would be oscillators to provide clocks for the integrated circuits (chips) that need them, like the processor. If you still have the Pod open and can take a higher-resolution photograph we might be able to look up the numbers.

 

Out of interest, why the question?

Well, if they are intended for the circuit, then whatever they clock wouldn't do anything, which would be bad.

 

Are you sure they are missing from your board? As in, where they ever there? There are different revisions of the main board and perhaps you are looking at a photo of a revision that is different to the version in your Pod. They might be in a different place or not even in the version you have.

Relatedly, what revision is your motherboard? It will be printed on there.

 

Or just post some high-resolution photographs of your board. By high-resolution, I mean so we can read the numbers on the parts.

 

Where I am going with this is that you might be looking at a photo of an older layout and comparing to a newer layout. For example, Line 6 may have simply moved to a smaller package for those oscillators, so they look different but are not actually missing.
