I just got a new MacBook Air M4, running Tahoe.  I was able to install Pod HD Pro X Edit, but the program doesn't see the unit.  I guessing you'll have the same problem with your HD500X.  I don't believe L6 has released any new Mac versions of any of their software to accommodate Tahoe.  I have a feeling the L6 crew is "all hands on deck" with the Helix Stadium release.

I think I'll stay on macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 for nwo then until I hear of any updates. I think the planned obsolecence will see me finally make the jump to the QuadCortex...

The Downloads section of this website shows that the first public release of POD HD500 Edit was September 30, 2010 - slightly more than 15 years ago. What do you expect the level of support for your new Quad Cortex will be in 2040?

I was able to get this working in Mac OS 26.1 Tahoe on a Mac mini M2. Here's what I had to do:
 

  1. Start the Mac in Recovery mode. This took probably 5 minutes
    1. Power off your Mac 
    2. Hold down the power button until you're prompted to select either your boot drive or Options
    3. Click Options
      1. Wait a bit while it scans your disk
    4. In the top menu go to Utilities...Startup Security Utility

    5. Select the system on which you want to install the Driver. If the disk is encrypted with FileVault, click Unlock, enter the password, and then click Unlock.

    6. Click Security Policy, choose Reduced Security and check the option to allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers

    7. Click OK. Enter the password for your account and click OK.

    8. Restart your Mac from Apple menu

  2. Download the Line6 Driver here: https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=11477
  3. Install the driver
  4. Run the following from a Terminal window (you can press CMD + Spacebar to search for Terminal if needed):

    1. sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/Line6AudioUniversal.kext
  5. Reboot the Mac

I hope that helps!
