So I just spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Tech Support at Line6. Unfortunately we did not find a solution, but the representative that I spoke to confirmed that the procedure that I did (deleting some specific folders/files) should have taken care of it. He also said that the GUI issue I am having is typically caused by 2.02 and 2.5 being installed at the same time. However, since I have deleted all Line6 files off the computer we cannot figure out why the GUI issue is occurring. He is forwarding it to their engineering team to see if they can figure it out, and opened a support ticket for me. *crossed fingers* The GUI issue I am having is this:
and
I do get sound, but it still has the crappy sound you hear in my POSTv250 clip. I'll continue to post updates in this thread, maybe the solution they find for me will help others out as well.
For those curious to which files/folders, delete these (sorry PC users, I'm not sure what the equivalents are for you):
Macintosh HD>Library>Application Support>Line 6
user>Library>Application Support>Line 6
Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Plugins>Components (delete all PODfarm components)
Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Plugins>VST>Line 6
Empty trash, reinstall 2.02. As you can see it hasn't worked for me but that is the correct procedure for downgrading to previous version according to Tech Support. I believe there are probably more files that need to be deleted off of the system, maybe some cached files or something I don't know, which is why I am having the 2.5 sound issue and now the GUI issue (which should only happen if 2.0 and 2.5 are both installed according to L6 support).
Also, I wanted to post a clip of the fucked up sound with an impulse on it. As I said, I don't think it is simply that the cabinet simulation is not working in PODfarm. The patch I loaded up is identical to the PREv250 clip, and this is how it sounds with an impulse (No Cabinet selected in PF):

Obviously something is still horribly wrong when you compare it to:
