Convert & Modify POD HD Presets
Submitted by zab on Mon, 16/04/2012 - 15:09
This tool has grown over the time and has the following features:

For the POD HD 500 / POD HD 500X / POD HD Desktop / POD HD Pro / POD HD ProX:

Convert presets, bundles and setlists to each other model. It literally "converts" them , i.e. does not modify any Amp/Cab/FX Setting.
Edit bundles, presets and setlists:
Independently change inputs, impedance, amps, cabs and mics without changing their parameters. For example, change your live setlist to a studio setlist by changing all pre amp models to full amp models with cab without losing your settings.
Translate POD HD 300 / POD HD 400 presets to POD HD 500 / POD HD 500X / POD HD Desktop / POD HD Pro / POD HD ProX presets. Click here for more information.
For the POD HD 300 / 400:

Translate POD HD 500 / POD HD 500X / POD HD Desktop / POD HD Pro / POD HD ProX presets to POD HD 300 / POD HD 400 presets. Click here for more information.

If you find any presets that do not work, please give me a note so that i can improve the application.

Next Features to come:

Update 2014-05-20: Add/Modify a MidFocus EQ (maybe later also a Studio EQ) to setlists, bundles and presets(Preview):

POD HD MidFocus EQ
If you use different external setups (speakers, etc), you can add a MidFocus EQ at any position and/or change its values for all your presets (setlits, etc.) at once. Works for presets so far, i've opened a new github branch with newest, unfinished changes for people who want to try things out. (Thanks to Raf Gys for suggesting this!)

Translate HD 300/400 Presets to POD HD 500/500X/Desktop/Pro. work in progress
Browse the whole Line6 Custometone database and automatically adjust Preset to desired device.
Support for HD ProX.
Support for HD 500X.
Support for HD 500.
Support for HD Pro.
Extended 'Advanced'-Tab for the Translator where you can choose the mapping of the missing effects on your own.
A switch to convert pre amp presets to full amp presets. If you change the amp model on your device, all the amp parameters are gone and restored to the ones last used with that specific amp.
Usage:

On the Top, click on the Tab named after your desired deivce. So, if you own a POD HD Desktop, click on HD Desktop
Below, click on Browse and specify the directory that contains your (downloaded) Presets, Setlists or Bundles that you want to convert to your device or modify.
Now choose what you want to do with the files in the chosen directory. The settings are grouped in convert, translate or modify for a better overwiev. Apply everything you desire. For example, if you downloaded a POD HD 500 Preset and want to run in on your POD HD Desktop, checkmark the box Patch HD 500 Presets to Desktop (.h5e -> .hbe).
On the Bottom, Click Run.
Update 2015-05-01:

We now save checkbox / combobox states and the path of the selected directory.
I've also uploaded an uncompressed windows build, which is exactly the same as the smaller one, just not compressed with the binary packer upx. My virus scanner sometimes detects compressed .exe files as false positive viruses.
