Line 6 POD Farm 1.01 – Troubleshooting
8•11
USB connection to your Line 6 hardware is required in order to use the audio features of POD •
Farm in Standalone operation and/or POD Farm plug-In. So make sure your device is connected
to your computer via USB and powered on if you want to use these features.
Note - POD X3 and PODxt devices can utilize POD Farm Plug-In as an optional Add-On, but
POD Farm requires a connected POD Studio, TonePort or GuitarPort device to be launched
in Standalone operation.
If you believe that your USB connection is OK, try re-installing the Line 6 device’s Driver •
or POD Farm software. (Reinstalling POD Farm will not affect any Tone Presets that you’ve
stored). The easiest way to do this is to run Line 6 Monkey with your Line 6 device connected
and go to the Updates tab. Here you will see if you have the latest device driver and POD Farm
software versions installed. You can download and install any available updates here by selecting
them in the Monkey Updates tab, or choose to re-install the same versions to make sure all is
configured correctly. Just follow the steps as prompted by Line 6 Monkey.
