presets Tone Load: Unable to load tone; Reason (Code 8000A009) Unsupported patch type

[euie68]

Hi all.... I'm a noob to the game. Bought a used POD X3 Live and am running the learning curve to get the most out of it.

 

After installing Gearbox on my Mac Book Pro running Sierra (v10.12.6) I noticed a few folders in the Line 6 directory created in my Doc's. There's plenty of 'presets / patches' in there but none of them will load into Gearbox's 'Hardware Memory Window'! The message displayed is always "Tone Load: Unable to load tone; Reason (Code 8000A009) Unsupported patch type". 

 

Are these 'registered patches' that I need to pay for or is there something wrong with the file extension (.l6t) .... if so... why does Gearbox provide these as 'available' when you install it but then block them from use?

 

I've looked for this 'error message' in other treads here in the Line 6 Community but the few I found have 0 responses and are over a decade old!

 

I'm currently reading the Gearbox_Help.pdf but there's a LOT of info in that and is taking some sweet time to get through.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

The filetype *.l6t is used for many Line 6 products, not just the POD X3. Some POD X3 l6t files are incompatible with other devices and vice versa. In other words there’s no guarantee that any specific l6t preset file will load properly into a POD X3. It’s likely that you are encountering this incompatibility rather than a license/payment issue.
