Line 6 POD HD Thread

[JoshuaKaroshi]

So... At this point in the game, is it pretty much decided that Line 6 wont be giving us any more updates/models for the HD series?

If so... Those lil shits.

My bassist let me borrow his Schecter Hellraiser Devil 8, and this is what I did yesterday. Nothing fancy, but it's heavy as hell! What do you guys think? All the tones are 100% POD HD Pro!

Probably, yeah. I'm guessing we'll see more units with these same models on them for a while. Probably more effects and stuff. Maybe more models, but not on these units.

I've submitted ticket to line6 but hoping I might get some help here.

My POD HD is not working when I connect it to my PC, unable to use POD HD edit, etc. I can still use the pedal fine when connecting the guitar and playing, all other features besides USB seem to be working fine.

Normally when a USB device is connected to windows it will make the sound and windows will search for drivers, none of this happens. I've tried multiple computers/changing the USB cable and still nothing.

It's as if there is no power coming from the USB connection, like the USB port itself is broken/faulty. Is there anything I can do?

Are there any detailed schematics so that I can attempt to investigate what's going on internally? Is this a known issue?

Do some units have faulty USB ports? Please help as I really want to use this feature.

Are you using the S/PDIF out or via USB? If you're using the S/PDIF output, in Global Options there's a setting where you can set the output volume. If you're using POD's ASIO drivers, go to Control Panel and enter the settings of the mentioned driver. There must be options of input volume as well as monitoring level. Also, check Reaper's mixer to see if the input is leveled on 0 db.

I have it connected via usb and the volume is fine through my speakers, I'll definitely try changing control panel settings and check the mixer when I get home, thanks a lot

Is there a middle-square in the POD's USB port? That's where the connectors are and lots of people here claims it gets broken easily.

 

[AngstRiddenDreams]

I've been dealing with a broken USB port on mine for a year now. You aren't alone.

Just picked up a used FBV Express from GC to use with my HD Pro, so now I can Kirk Hammett as much as I desire.

 

[AaronGraves]

You guys are probably tired of me posting stuff haha, but too bad! I'm really digging this 8 string! So heavy! \m/

Thanks for the reply. No, there is no middle square, which comes on 99% of USB ports.

I'm guessing this causes a risk of the positive and negative touching? if they did touch could that be causing my issue? Is the USB screwed?

Freshly tweaked guitar and bass tones, new EQ techniques, here is the result

As you correctly guessed, your USB port is broken. I don't think it even gets into short circuit since connectors are gone. If you have the possibility, try to take it to Line 6 repair. If you're unable, a decent electronics repair shop can do the job. Or even if you're average skilled in soldering, and are a structured person when it comes to dissasembling something, you could gain access to the main board and replace it. Of course, I recommend the other solutions.

Good luck and let us know how did it go.

been thinking out jumping on the modeling train

The axe fx just look to complex for me

thinking of throwing a pro x, with a g90 and a matrix 800gtx in a nice little rack and saving my lower back deadlifting my 1960a+b cabs every time we jam.

You sir are defiantly getting better.

 

[Venerable Sir]

Does anyone run a separate eq pedal in the loop of their POD? I was thinking about running an MXR m-108 to shape the tone a little more.

 

[HOGANMW]

POD's FX loop is a shithole. I run my EHX,ECC82 booster, ISP D2 before POD and 31-band EQ in stereo mode after POD

 

[Venerable Sir]

Same idea I guess. Would running a 10-band eq in the loop or before sending to FOH be worth the price tag of the pedal?

 

[jimwratt]

I'm thinking the HD line has about 12-18 months of current production life until it's replaced with something else based on Line 6 release history? Seem plausible?
