  • Line 6 POD 2 Repair

    Hi All

    Do we have any POD repair experience on this forum? My POD 2 (FBV) is flashing a particular sequence on start-up (POD -> 2.0 -> Tap Lights) and the voltage on the DC regulators is oscillating up and down. Interestingly, if I put into Test mode and run all the tests it has stable DC voltages and passes most of them bar the potentiometer range tests. Any help appreciated from anyone who has done low-level POD circuit troubleshooting.

    Cheers

    Have you tried a factory reset?

      Hi Mate

      Yes I have- it briefly shows Sys Int (or similar) as it should, and then quickly goes back to the above sequence. It will not connect via MIDI/USB either, even with the recommended cable.

        Can anybody help? Any Line 6 or ex-Line 6 Techs out there?
        TIA

          As there is not a schematic readily available I would suggest that you contact Line 6.
          $90 /hour labor may make the repair unfeasible though.

            Yes definitely not worth a Line 6 repair. I have a full schematic, I was hoping for any experience of common faults on this forum, or the possible diagnosis of areas to explore from the behaviour.

              I've fixed these but was bad solder connections on the power jack, etc. Check electrolytics near the regulators.

                  This is marked as POD/2..looks slightly different to mine which is a POD 2 FBV but may be close enough to help
