POD HD500X Flash Memory v2.62 RELEASE NOTES
POD HD500X v2.62 is a FREE firmware update that includes additional features and optimizations. It is highly recommended that all POD HD500X users perform this update! It is also recommended that you back up your current presets by using POD HD500X Edit to create a preset bundle, allowing you to include installing new presets as part of the update process. The easiest way to perform the update process is by installing the latest version of Line 6 Monkey. Once you've connected your POD HD500X to your computer via USB port (hubs are not supported), Monkey will recognize the unit and take you through the update process. Its important to update both the USB Firmware (1.04) and Flash Memory (2.62). The Line 6 Monkey application may be downloaded at http://line6.com/software/. What's New? Global EQ--Global EQ is used for compensating for the wide disparity in acoustic environments on tour or when traveling from studio to studio, and is applied to all setlists and presets. Global EQ features three fully parametric bands plus variable low and high cut filters. The 2.62 release addresses a previous issue in which the Global EQ did not function after tuner mode was accessed. To access Global EQ: Press and hold the VIEW button to open the Setup Menu. Using the four-way, cursor right until you see the Global EQ screen. Turn Knob 1 to select the desired EQ band (Low Cut, Low, Mid, High, High Cut) and turn Knobs 2, 3, and/or 4 to adjust the selected band. To bypass or enable Global EQ, press ENTER. NOTE--Due to L6 LINKs flexible routing, Global EQ is not available at this output. Support for optional Model PacksFirmware 2.62 supports three new Amp/Cab Model Packs: Metal Pack--includes models based on* modern heavy gain amps like the Peavey® 5150® and a remastered JCM800 Vintage Pack--includes models based on* classics like the Vox® AC30 Fawn and the Orange® OR80 Bass Pack--includes models based on* an Ampeg® SVT and a GK Gallien-Kruger 800RB Model Packs can be purchased at http://line6.com/shophdmodelpacks. Variax Presets--Firmware 2.62 adds an additional VARIAX setlist of 64 presets, optimized for use with Line 6 Variax guitars. Selecting a preset from this setlist may recall a particular guitar model and tuning in a connected Variax. Known Issues Set List Names--If during the update process new presets are optionally loaded to overwrite the previous set, Set List names may not correlate to the new presets appropriately. This is because renaming Set Lists is not a part of the firmware update process. Set List names may be changed in the hardware using a variety of methods: System Reset--Pressing (and holding down) the four-way navigation pad to the left while powering up will perform a Global Settings reset. This action will reset all settings to their factory default and requires a recalibration of the on-board expression pedal. Instructions for pedal calibration can be found at http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/pod/pod-hd500-hd500x/pod- hd500xhd500-pedal-calibration-r161. Due to the pedal recalibration, it is generally recommended to update the Set List names using the manual method described below. Manual--Set Lists may be renamed manually by simply highlighting a Set List name and pressing the SAVE button. Use the four encoders beneath the main display and press SAVE to complete. The presets in firmware v2.62 correlate to the following Set List names, as seen in the main display from left to right, top to bottom: BEST OF HD FX HEAVY SONGS / STYLE BASS/ACO/VOC L6LINK <-> DT VARIAX USER 1 USER 2 FAQ For more information about POD HD500X, the POD HD FAQ can be found at http://line6.com/support/.
