Welcome to the POD HD500X Edit Pilot’s Guide. This guide contains details of the POD® HD500X
Edit application’s features and functionality. All behaviors are the same on Mac® or Windows®,
unless otherwise noted. It is recommended that you also read the POD HD500X Pilot’s Guide
and Advanced Guide for details on using your POD HD500X device. These documents can be
downloaded at http://line6.com/support/manuals.
This Guide covers POD HD500X Edit version 1.0 and POD HD500X hardware with Flash Memory version 1.0
installed (or later versions). POD HD500X Edit is compatible with Mac OS® X 10.5 and later, and Windows®
XP, Vista & later (all 32 bit and 64 bit versions). For the latest available software and Flash Memory versions,
please see “Using Line 6 Monkey” on page 7•1.
What’s in it for Me?
POD HD500X Edit is a simple, but powerful, Preset editor/librarian application. It allows you to
easily see and tweak all the individual Amp, Preamp & FX Models’ parameters, as well as edit the
Models & parameters of any connected Line 6 Variax® guitar, all within one attractive Graphical
User Interface (or “GUI”), to create, customize, manage and backup your Tone Presets & Set
Lists. You can also tap into the Line 6 CustomTone™ site to share your POD HD500X Tones and
download from the huge library of artist & user Presets! In this chapter, we’ll focus on some of the
common tasks you’ll perform with the POD® HD500X Edit application.
Workflow Overview
Once the POD HD500X Edit application is launched, it automatically “receives” the complete
contents of all 8 Set Lists from your device’s internal memory, allowing you to view or customize any
Preset’s Amp & FX Model settings. While connected, communication between the application and
your POD HD500X device’s internal memory is instant - move any Block or adjust any parameter
within the application and the modied settings are heard on your device. Likewise, adjustments
made to your device’s controls are visually reected in the software.
Two-way communication exists between your device & computer via the USB connection
This interactive communication allows you to tweak any individual Amp or FX Models’ settings
within the application GUI and instantly hear and preview the changes, before committing them to
the internal memory of your POD HD500X device.
TIP: It is also possible to use POD HD500X Edit simultaneously when using POD HD500X for (USB) computer
recording, or when using an L6 LINK™ connection to DT50™ and DT25™ Ampliers! When using the L6 LINK
connection, USB audio is muted, however, but you’ll still hear your tones through the DT amplier and other POD
HD500X outputs.
Settings changes made to your current Preset within the software are temporarily stored on your
POD HD500X - that is, they do not overwrite the device’s current Preset until you perform a save.
