Will a Variax 300 work with the HD500? I am looking at a HD500 as we speak and need to find out so I know whether to buy it!Thanks!

Re: Why do people down L6 untill they find out how good they realy are

All that I use right now is Line 6.... Vetta II, FBV, and even a Variax 300 along with my ESP's. Having said this, the bottom row of switches on my board died this week and will have to be sent off. It's a good thing I kept my Behringer FCB1010 controller because it immediately ran everything except the stompboxes, amp channels and wah.

I keep my POD2.2 as a spare. I would not gig without it at this point because anything can crap out, as my FBV proved. Line 6 stepped up and got me in touch with 'local' repair centers and when I have the shekels to ship it off I'm sure it will be repaired perfectly.

I think people are biased against Line 6 because even after so many years and so much usage the analog to digital backlash is still in effect. It won't matter to some people what their favorite player is using because if it's not an all tube 'whateveryoucallit' then it can't really be all that good. It's too bad people still think that way.

I read a comment about affordability and honestly, that's what brought me into Line 6... an affordable way to get the Rectifier tone. Back in 2000, I was using the Crate Blue Voodoo stack and a Scholz Power Soak with a Zoom 4040 in the loop. I couldn't afford a Rectifier but I could afford a POD2.0 and Floorboard. Even after I got a Single Rec Solo 50v2 I missed all the flexibility of Line 6 and I wasn't playing huge places, so I got what I have now. No regrets here.

Thanks for all the info. I had forgotten I had asked that since my internet has been on a Droidphone. This puts great faith in the tremolo. Thanks again!

That's great news! Is the bridge flush mounted at the body or is it lifted up a bit for raising the pitch as well as lowering it? I know there is no back routing on the 69.

Thanks again!

This is the model I want because I'm pretty much a SuperStrat/Strat kinda guy. Hum/Sing/Hum is my favorite pickup design and the 69 comes the closest.

I've read about the tremolo having it's strings fed through the lower rear of the bridge. So, between the tuners and the bridge, how stable is the tuning, how responsive is the bar action, does it feel solid or have play in the bar, is it klunky and noisy, how easy is it to set up for string gauges, etc? In other words I'm looking for specifics and details. I've gone back to having Floyds after using the Parker vibrato and I have to tell ya, I sure miss that Parker bridge!

Thanks for your input, in advance!

I'm in Beckley WV. I do have a PayPal account. How about $10usd w/ $2 for shipping? ($12usd total). I don't have the AC adapter, just the XPS Mini.

I have an XPS-Mini that I tried to Ebay off and everybody seemed to say I was asking too much. Flawless condition. Message me and make me an offer. I use the A/B version with my V300 and it works like a charm so I can part with the Mini.

Who's giving the clinic and who here is planning to attend? I'm leaning heavily towards going.
