Pod HD Pro firmware update!!
Helena Choo
It is also recommended that you backup your current presets by using POD HD PRO 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 HD PRO to your computer via USB port (hubs are not supported) Monkey will recognize the unit and take you through the update process. The Line 6 Monkey application may be downloaded here.
What’s New?
- Variable Input Impedance – This feature affects tone and feel because the guitar’s pickups are being “loaded” as they would be by an effect pedal or a tube amplifier. There are eight selectable options which can change the analog circuitry affecting the impedance of the Guitar Input. The options include seven discrete resistor values: 22k, 32k, 70k, 90k, 230k, 1M, 3.5M. There is also an Auto setting. When set to Auto the input impedance can automatically change depending on which amp or effect model is first in the signal chain of the current preset. Impedance settings are saved as part of each preset’s input selection.
- Preset or Global Input Selection – When set to Preset, recalling a preset automatically selects which of the device’s audio inputs are used as the “source” – sort of like a built-in, programmable patchbay. The saved input impedance value will also be recalled with each preset. When set to Global, the input selection and impedance value saved with each preset will be ignored as presets are recalled; allowing presets with a variety of saved input settings to be heard from a single source without having to manually reprogram each preset’s input settings one at a time.
- Hard Gate – An advanced gate capable of extremely quick response. With controls for hold time, decay rate, and separate open/close thresholds, Hard Gate is ideal for any genre including Metal. It can even be abused to create erratic “sputter” and “splat” effects.
- Enhanced MIDI Control – Offers control of POD HD500 and POD HD Pro from external standard MIDI controllers. A variety of functions including Footswitch 1-8, Tap Tempo, Tuner, Looper Controls, and Expression Pedals can all be accessed via MIDI. For more details please refer to the latest version of the Advanced User Guide.
- New Presets – This firmware includes lots of new presets. Many of the pre-existing Set Lists have gotten new presets and reordered based on customer feedback. The “BASS/ACO/VOC” Set List includes presets which provide a starting point for bass, acoustic guitar, and vocal processing. The Set List titled “L6LINK <-> DT” provides a starting point for users connecting a POD HD Pro to a DT Series amplifier. Note in this Set List presets 7A-D may not produce audio without a Variax connected and/or monitoring the FX Send output – these particular presets were created to illustrate just one of the approaches to getting amplified electric and direct (FOH) acoustic instruments from a single guitar and preset.
- Global Tempo Sync – Setting Tempo Sync (Setup Page 6) to Global does not function properly - FIXED
- Tuner Mute – When Tuner is set to mute sound is still audible from FX loop send and digital outputs - FIXED
- Tap Tempo MIDI – Rapidly sending MIDI assigned to Tap FS may drop messages - FIXED
- Delay Model Signal Boost – Many delay models provide undesirable volume boost when enabled - FIXED
- FX Loop – In a mono configuration the FX loop does not sum left/right signal properly – FIXED
- Frequency Shifter – Frequency Shifter model skips 1Hz setting - FIXED
- Multi-Head Delay – Presets do not recall correct delay time when Time is set to note value - FIXED
- POD HD PRO Edit – The current version of POD HD PRO Edit (v1.06) does not provide provisions to control Variable Input Impedance nor Global Input Selection parameters. These features are currently only accessible within the POD HD PRO hardware GUI.
- AC Frequency – When connected to a DT50 or DT25 amplifier, POD HD Pro may have its AC Frequency parameter (Setup Page 2) automatically changed. Be sure to check this setting after turning on a connected DT series amplifier.
- Set List Names – If during the update process new presets are optionally loaded to over-write 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:
- 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.

good advice to set the Z impedance to auto (hold View, then go to page
3 on the unit, not in Edit)

HD PRO. I have downloaded the presets and I like what they have done.
I found the ones I liked before and many more that sounded good right
off the bat. I admit that I spend 5 times as much time with LP and
higher gain nowadays, than U2 tones (I blame that on the LP which just
sounds so good with some of these presets). So I don't know about the
U2 tones. I think they have raised the volume and improved the presets
that are named after amps, makes them easier to just play. If you're
lazy you never really five them a chance when they are so low in
volume and anemic.

You can use this (Jedi) trick : download HD500 Edit and install it to
open the HD500 presets you want to reproduce on the HD Pro. Now open
the HD Pro Edit software and simply reproduce, by hand, the patch
displayed in the HD 500 Edit Window. Not very convenient, of course,
but at least it can help.

No spillover function at all? am I right?
Matt
switch effects within a preset on and off via a midi controller or
automated midi track ? I don't see anything of that in the
description.

Yes you can apparently. The new manual explain how the CC are
assigned.

don't have preset to preset spillover, just spillover when you turn
off delay block within a preset.
