Change your patch on the Spider 3?

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:40:46 GMT

Hey,

Do you mean changing channels and banks? If so I use FBV Shortboard Mk1 with my spider 3 150w and have no problems. You get a choice of four channels and 9 banks. Line 6 has a wide range of foot controllers that are compatible with your Spider 3. http://line6.com/footcontrollers/

Benefits of running latest Gearbox vs. an old version?

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:40:05 GMT

There might be addition amp models such as Citrus and the 18 watt Marshall, plus bass models.

As far as operation goes, I have had problems with past version of Guitarport, but things are running smoothly at the moment.

Check out our recording

DZG,

Overall great song. They only thing I can say is that an intro lasting over 2 minutes is a def no-no. Especially fort a slow tempo song. Production wise? I can can only say the vocals and guitars need more definition. One persons mix is one persons view of that song........ Overall...I like it.

Studio UX2 and Pod Farm - Freezes my computer

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:32:25 GMT

I was trying to install my new Studio UX2 and Pod Farm.

I downloaded the latest Pod Farm for Snow Leopard and it keeps coming up with an error message:

The System extension "/System/Library/Extensions/Line6Audio.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact the product's vendor for an update.

What does it mean? I downloaded the latest driver as well from the "Downloads" and it came up with the same message.

Also, as soon as I plug in the Studio UX2, it freezes my system straight and I have to Force Shut Down.

Can anyone tell me why it happens?

Thank you

Anything new out there?

CAREFUL WITH THOSE CAPS, EUGENE!

Download the Monkey software and run that. That will show you what is available, what updates you can make etc. You have to register you Pod on this site to access this. Also you don't say what computer you are using, which software you tried to install or your operating system

2x12 4x12 missing on pod xt pro

They're just renamed Combo Front and Stack Front, for user-friendliness i suppose. The FX Loops is there too. Press the "I/O & Dig Select" button twice (pressing once selects the input and digital settings).

It's all in the manual.

distortion on D string piezo

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:54:14 GMT

Hi Sam

The distortion you are hearing from the D string is almost certainly a piezo pickup issue in either that the piezo module is dying or the conection to the module is loose or otherwise damaged. When removing strings it is necessary to trim off the coiled string end that has been wrapped around the machine head post otherwise this can snag on the fine wires that connect the piezo module to the electronics as you pull the string out of the rear of the guitar. Nevertheless it seems that it's fairly common for the piezo modules to die across the Variax range. I haven't experienced this yet on any of my Variaxes, but I have dealt with Line 6 UK Support on the phone regarding knobs for my Spider Valve, and the lady I spoke to was incredibly helpful and put a couple of knobs in the post which I got the next day. Having seen reports from other people on these forums - specifically about piezo issues, the response has pretty much been the same across the board as far as I can see. There's two ways to get this resolved: raise a support ticket here and your request will be forwarded to UK Support who will probably contact you by private message through your account here, by phone (as they did with me) or by email. Replacing the piezo is fairly straightforward I understand so it is possible for you to do it yourself or to get the work done by an authorised repair centre/competent guitar technician - largely depends on your warranty I suppose.

Spider Jam questions

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:46:54 GMT

Hello,

Is the Spider Jam amp in the same family as the Spider IV line or is this a Spider III line? Is there such thing as a Spider IV Jam amp?

Also is the Shortboard (older version) compatible with the Spider Jam amp or only is the MKII unit?

Thanks

Variax Bass Pickguard Material

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:42:22 GMT

I have been to several sites MightyMite, Stewmac and allparts but it is very confusing. Looking at their caalogue pictures, on some sites, the black Pearl seems to resemble the color and texture of the Variax Bass pickguard and on others, the Silver Pearl. To start of I must make sure weher the color is Black Pearl or Silver Pearl. Maybe Line6 can help me on this because they will know for sure.
