Need Recommendation For AntiVirus Program That Runs Well With L6/Monkey

support@line6.com — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 05:48:51 GMT

Can someone recommend a good and FREE antivirus program that works well with Monkey and L6 stuff? I don't want to use McAfee or Norton...I'd like something that is as unobtrusive as possible. Someone in this forum recommended a freebie a few weeks back, but I can't find the post. The name of the program mentioned had 3 letters in its name...I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using the FBV Express MKII With POD HD (bean)?

support@line6.com — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:03:41 GMT

I hooked up my FBV Express to my POD HD bean and noticed the toe switch didn't work as a volume control, but it did work as a wah. Do I need to program the POD HD bean so it recognizes the FBV Express? I know the FBV Express is limited on what it can do, but for the time being it's all I can afford at the moment. I can make decent patches, but man when it comes to programming this to work with that I am out of that league.

Thanks.

Copying A Patch To Another Location

support@line6.com — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:14:00 GMT

I have dialed in a Stevie Ray Vaughan patch that I like and would like to copy that exact patch to the next location available. I would like to further tweak it to alter it slightly. Is there a way to copy and paste a patch from 4A to 4B? Can't seem to find anything on this subject. Thanks!!

BTW, I have the POD HD (bean).

What exactly is a compressor "supposed" to do ?

support@line6.com — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:40:31 GMT

Ok...been playing for several years and I have yet to really hear any thing significant regarding compressors. No, I am not knocking them, I just can't hear it. Someone told me it was to help sustain notes, but I don't hear that either.

So, here's what I'd like to get: A long, sustained note using my HD bean, either my Zakk Wylde Gibson LP or my Fender Strat (with a humbucker in the bridge), and either my studio monitors or my Tech 21 PW60. I am going for something SRV-ish with some long sustain. Is this where the compressor comes in?

Thanks.....JB

Is This Possible With the HD Bean?

support@line6.com — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 02:31:16 GMT

I am loving the HD (bean) thus far and enjoy dialing in some great Stevie Ray Vaighan tones. I also own the FBV Express MKII and would like to know if I can do the following:

1) Use it as a volume pedal or a wah?

2) Use it to hit either A, B, C, D to engage a tube screamer effect?

3) Use the volume pedal as a way to increase an effect ( a la Glenn Deluane) sp?

4) Or is it limited to just cruising through patches?

5) Can a real wah pedal like a VOX be used in front of the HD Bean?

Thanks, I'd love to get the FBV Shortboard, but I was just laid off and can't afford it at the moment. Thanks!!

Can Dual Amps Be Set Up In POD HD Edit?

support@line6.com — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 22:23:47 GMT

I tend to use the HD Edit much more than dialing in a tone using the POD itself. I haven't been able to find where I can set up dual amps in the Edit. Can this be done? I was going to print out the manual for easier reference, but I'd go through ink cartridges like crazy !!

Thanks!!!

Re: OK TIME FOR SOME TONE REQUESTS!

I would really love for someone with POD experience to dial in the tone Randy Rhoads had on his signature "spotlight solo" as recorded on the Ozzy Tribute Live CD. He performed the lengthy solo during the song Suicide Solution. I'd be forever grateful for this tone !!

Loading HD 500 Tones Into Pod HD (Bean) Help

support@line6.com — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 02:46:47 GMT

I would greatly appreciate some guidance on loading patches that were made for the 500 into my new HD bean. I've seen some posts regarding this, but it seemed like I would have to know how to program my computer, and coming from the older generation I am not that computer literate. I use Windows 7 and when I save a patch a window opens up giving me the opportunity to name the patch. When I name and save the patch, do I put a dot after the name followed by the "bean extension"?

Does Line 6 have a support document on how to load 500 tones into the bean? If not, it sure would help out big time. Thanks for any help. I've seen a lot of HD500 patches on the custometone page, but I've read that they don't work unless converted for the bean.

Thanks!!
