Hello
I have a pod xt and want to use it for things like reamping. I'm working on a macbookpro snow leopard. I can't connect the pod via USB, I have an error message on the preference panel. The gearbox tells me to update the usb firmware, but I can't do that with line6 monkey because ot the version of the firmware that does'nt allow to update with usb!
I found this workaround but I don't want to spend money just to update the firmware. Is there another way to get my pod xt working on snowleopard?
Q: My unit cannot update via USB, and I have Flash Memory 1.01. How do I update from Flash Memory 1.01 to a newer version?
A: First, verify if you have 1.01. Please hit the TUNER button and scroll using the SELECT knob to the last page. If you have a version later than 1.01, you can use your USB connection.
In order to update your PodXt from version 1.01 to the latest version, you will need to download Line 6 monkey (as described above) as well as a MIDI to USB interface. We recommend the MIDI SPORT UNO from M-AUDIO. Install the drivers for your interface, then run LINE 6 MONKEY with your POD XT unit connected to your interface. Click on the CONNECT USING MIDI CABLES button, and make sure that you see the MIDI IN and MIDI OUTS set to your interface. Then go through the FLASH MEMORY installation as described above. After this is done, you will be able to update your PODxt series unit using USB. See the following link for more information on connecting to your Line 6 unit via Midi:
