Du hast recht, am Donnerstag (9.4.15) kam dann wohl später, nachdem ich geprüft hatte, das Update für den HD500.
Es wird empfohlen, da wohl auch Fehler behoben wurden.
Zusätzlich zum globalen Equalizer (drei Band parametrisch + Bass und Höhencut) gibt es auch eine Bank mit "Variax-Sounds", also Sounds, die auch die
JTVs und auch die bald rauskommende
Variax Standard passend mit Sound und Stimmung abgespeichert haben und entsprechend beim Anschluss per VDI-Kabel umstellen.
Letzteres wird mich das Update jedenfalls ausprobieren lassen, da es wohl die besten Werksounds bisher sein sollen.
Morgen Probe und dann das Update am Mittwoch
Hier die
offizielle Beschreibung:

POD HD500 Flash Memory v2.62 RELEASE NOTES
POD HD500 v2.62 is a FREE firmware update that includes additional features and optimizations. It is highly recommended that all POD HD500 users perform this update!
It is also recommended that you back up your current presets by using POD HD500 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 HD500 to your computer via USB port (hubs are not supported), Monkey will recognize the unit and take you through the update process. It’s important to update both the USB Firmware (1.04) and Flash Memory (2.62).
The Line 6 Monkey application may be downloaded
here.
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.
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 LINK’s flexible routing, Global EQ is not available at this output.
Support for optional Model Packs—Firmware 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
here.
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 here. 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
