  1. I'm satisfied this problem doesn't happen anymore in my computer. As regards as to reversing or proving that this is the definitive solution; it's not my job, it's Line 6's job. Instead of criticizing, you should thank me I took the time to explain what was my solution to this problem. It would have been way easier for me not to share it because I already solved it in my computer. As regards to my profession, it's what puts money into my pocket.
  2. I think I've found a solution to this. I've done 3 steps, and so far the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED blue screens have disappeared. 1.- In Control Panel, select Sound and choose the HD500 (Or similar model) as the default sound device, for listening as well as for recording. Check that sample rate is the same you're using in your DAW. 2.- I have a desktop, so I plugged the usb port to the back. USB connections coming straight from the motherboard are more stable. I don't know if this step helped in any way, but I think it's worth trying. 3.- I THINK THIS STEP IS THE DEFINITIVE SOLUTION: These blue screens began to appear when I started working with Bandlab Cakewalk, but when I used FLStudio, they never occured. I've looked through thousands of forums and websites for a solution, but never found one. One day I noticed that when I opened Cakewalk, Windows 10 showed in the notifications panel below to the right that an application was accessing the microphone, something that hadn't happened when I opened FLStudio. When I double-clicked the notification, a Windows 10 panel opened where I could select which applications had access to the microphone, and I blocked access to all of them if I recall correctly, or at least Cakewalk. This procedure doesn't block or disables by any means any input in the POD that goes to the DAW, in this case, Cakewalk, since the inputs and outputs handled by the DAW are done using the POD ASIO driver. So, blocking the access to the microphone in Windows 10 doesn't disable recording using the inputs of the POD by any means, as long as the POD ASIO drivers are being used in the DAW. After doing these procedures I haven't had any other BSOD mentioned before. I suspect step 1 solved the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD meanwhile step 3 solved the SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD. I'm into the IT business, but I have no way of proving which step was the definitive solution, or which is the real culprit of them, being Cakewalk or Line 6 driver. I suspect there's an issue with the latter when it's not the default audio driver or when an application is granted access to the microphone in Windows 10. I hope Line 6 notice this and fix the driver, since it made me lose a lot of time finding a solution, and I almost had to cancel the recording of my new album.

  4. Ok... now I got another BSOD "System thread exception not handled" Windows 10 1903, up to date drivers selected as default in Windows. Don't know what else to do...
  5. Could be. I'll give it a try, now with Windows 10 updated to version 1903, and up-to-date reinstalled HD500 drivers. I'll try to keep the system light, without anything else open rather than Cakewalk. Also, I'll disable the network port. Hope this doesn't happen anymore.
  6. You're right. Thing is that in FL Studio, both 4.2.7.7 as well as 4.2.7.6 seem to work fine, while in Bandlab Cakewalk, it gets the BSOD. I thought that the new update addressed these kind of problems with newer versions of Windows 10. What would be the point of releasing a new driver version then?
  7. Sadly, I got this problem. It's the first time it happens after I've updated POD HD500 Drivers to 4.2.7.7. Also, it happened while using Bandlab's Cakewalk (latest version). I have all drivers up to date, as well as HD500's firmware. I'm using Windows 10 1803. So far it was working fine while using 4.2.7.6 drivers on FL Studio. I've checked Windows update and it's now available 1903 update for my system. I'll update and give it a try tomorrow, but I'm afraid it does nothing...
  8. We're talking about the especific POD HD ASIO drivers which are written by Line 6. Sadly, I've encountered the same issue. EVERYTHING is up to date and working fine. What is causing it? When is Line 6 going to fix it? It was supposed to fix it with driver version 4.2.7.7, but it didn't....
  9. Weird suggestion, but when I had set Studio/Direct output into a combo amp (by mistake) it sounded like crap. Of course, it was a preset made for other output mode. I wouldn't be too radical as regards as to the output. No wonder Line 6 made an output designed not only for each kind of amp (Combo/Stack) but also for the type of input you'll be using (Front: through the preamp of the amp, Pwr Amp: to the power amp section of the amp). If your amps are Combo, I'd select Combo Front as the output, as radacats suggested. He forgot to mention there are hi and low frequency cuts which by default they are at -50, cutting serious low and high frequencies. I'd start setting those to Flat and solve highs or lows problems from the EQ of the POD's amp or from the EQ of your real amp. Of course, what's been suggested in here is the best way to start a patch; clean patch and adding an amp. There are lots of tutorials on how to build patches or tones, and I'd suggest you go through them. It took me like 2 years to start making decent patches and changing my mind on how to build them. At first, I used to think I should use only pedals in the pod since I had a real amp in the end. But then I learned I was losing great tones by not using the POD's amps. Of course, when you use POD's amps with a real amp as output, disable Cab emulation (Which also disables mic emulation). It'll be kinda hard to work with a Cabless sound coming from the POD, but when you fine tune the sound you aim for, it'll sound great. I know the HD500 is kinda hard to use, but I've found the good things this board can give. Previous to this, I only recorded guitars micing my amps in my home studio, and I'm good at it. But this board was good enough to make me record my latest EP using amp/cab/mic emulation and no real amp or real micing. Also, the good thing is that if you can get the grip to this things, it's almost limitless in the variety of effects and amp combinations you can get, something that you may feel limited if you trade it for just a couple of stompboxes.
  10. I used to have the same philosophy as regards to building patches the first months owning the HD500. Since I have amps, I always used effect processors with my amps for rehearsals, live or studio. The chain was only effects and I thought everything else was useless. But I think you should change your way of thinking as regards to this. You have no idea how good amp emulations sound. I first changed mine when I decided to record my new EP by emulating everything (amp/cab/mic) instead of micing my real amp. I'm into Metal mostly, so in that way I learned how good the distortion of high gain amps is, compared to pedals in the POD or my real amp's distortion. Then I started making patches using the amps distortion. You can make the best of the POD by using amp's emulation but disabling cab (thus mic) emulation. Send the output of the POD to the power amp in of your amp, so then you use the POD's amp EQ and sound features. Set the 1/4" output of the pod to "Line", so the signal goes preamped. I think Line 6 has recently released a simple multi-effect processor to use along an iPad, if you're looking for something simpler, or as someone mentioned before, an M13 which is a stomp pedal modeler. I consider the HD500 a pro unit. Perhaps is not as good as or complex as an AXE FX, but definitely has all the options and features I look for to use with my live band in rehearsals, live shows or studio. Besides I also have a personal project which songs are recorded at my home studio. Believe me when I say I was against line or modeled recording (I used to love getting different tones by using different real amps and microphones), but the POD made me record my last EP completely modeled. The tool you have is that good.
  11. Besides having a good selection of drive pedals, the pod also has excellent high gain amps to choose from. When I got the POD, I used to think I should make pedal-like patches since I was using a real amp for live sound, but now my patches have amp emulations and distorted patches use high gain amps instead of pedals in the POD. I use them combined as well (Screamer+high gain amp) and it sounds even better. Still, if you prefer to use external pedals, there's a loop available in the POD, so you can connect anything you like and add it to the chain within the POD.
  12. 1.- When I had a Korg AX3000G, each song had one bank lollipopigned. 4 combinations were enough back then, and when less, I just repeated the last preset from left to right. Currently, I use the same method in the pod, but I feel I'm wasting lots of preset space using this method. Still, I only use 3 setlist effectively; 2 setlists with the same presets but tweaked for 2 different amps and one setlist to work with my monitors. 2.- By having each bank lollipopigned to one song, I don't mind if we don't play songs in order. Changing banks is not that hard, and even if I'm the singer of my band as well, I can manage between songs and still talk to the audience. 3.- Setlists are lollipopigned to the type of output I use. As I explained above, I have one setlist tweaked for a combo amp I use at home and rehearsals, and another tweaked for a live stack amp I use on stage. The 3rd list I use is tweaked for my studio monitors. Edit: You should revise your forum rules as regards to the word asign with 2 s. Replaced where lollipop appears should make my text have sense.
  13. My HD500 works fine and all and I know the 2 differences between HD500 and HD500X. I hardly use dual-amps but I was interested in knowing if footpedals on HD500X endure better. It's my belief that the changes are only aesthetic; just more light, different footswitch but the microswitch in the board is probably the same one. Does anyone know if footswitches are actually better?
  14. Cada vez que se actualiza el firmware del POD, hay que resetearlo y recalibrar el pedal para que no suceda esto. Primero que todo, hacé un backup de tus presets. Después, siguiendo los procedimientos que podes encontrar en el knowledge guide, resetea el POD a su estado por defecto, y después procedé a recalibrar el pedal de expresión.
  15. I guess you've been lucky; I had that feedback issue happen 3 or 4 times in the 2 years I've owned the pedal. I'd say it rarely happens and when it does, you can get rid of that by changing patches. That's why I've played live with the POD, otherwise, if the problem was persistent I wouldn't have used it live. But the thing is it will happen sometime in the future so I'd recommend you update following all the procedures (backup, update, reset to default, calibrate pedal) so you don't have any issues.
