JM4 Looper Aux input

support@line6.com — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:24:47 GMT

Hope you can help and that I am just being a Muppet!

I am using the main input for a guitar and all is OK, I am also am using the Mic input again all is OK. I have now plugged a Bass into the Aux input but get NO output. I have switched the cable to the guitar input and its fine. Could I have switched something off in error.

Cheers Richard

Thanks for the quick response, shame it could not be preogrammable to do this as it would be quite useful

Line 6 G50

Hi,

I am looking to get a G50 and an AB switch but thought that there might be a way to get rid of the AB Switch. If I take the output to amp A and the tuner output to amp B could I switch between the two via the switch on the transmitter?

Cheers Richard

JM4 features

support@line6.com — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 12:21:11 GMT

Only had the JM4 a few weeks but already could not do without it, fantastic bit of kit.

I might be missing something as it may do some of the following already, please confirm if it is possible. If not, here are some ideas that could easily be implemented with the addition or amendment of the menu structure.

Guitar Preset Mode

When changing a preset you have to repeatedly press the "A" or "B" footswitch to change the preset. It would be better to press once and if held it should scroll through all the presets displaying them for a second or two. It operates this way on the bank footswitches on the xtl.

Stored Guitar Mode (new menu, that operates when pressing the "D" footswitch as per the other menus)

Allow the "A", "B" and "C" footswitches to have saved tones. The "D" footswitch will exit the menu. This will allow you to jam to songs or make recordings and be able to switch your tone easily, for instance, Lead, Rhythm and Clean tones.

Loop FX Mode

Allow the "A" and "B" footswitches to be assigned to saved loops, i.e. Verse and Chorus. Or another menu completly allowing three saved loops to be called up easily.

I wait with interest to hear your thoughts

Thanks for the further update, pleased to hear that I am not going mad and that you experimenting with your setup has shown the difference too.

I have changed my set up now. It was:

Guitar to xtl to jm4 to Marshall half stack. I had hoped that this meant I could practice when I wanted or Jam without changing the setup.

My setup now is:

Xtl to half stack. Next to that I have the JM4 connected to a microcube. I then plug my guitar into either the JM4 for jamming to the microcube or into the xtl for practice via the marshall. Shame as it is a bit of a nuisance and I loose the wah wah pedal when jamming. However its still a great bit of kit.

I have set the parameters back to default and can get most of the sounds that I want from the JM4 for jamming.

Great that you can toggle via the far right footswitch between effects, amps and recording mode. I think I have seen this posted but it would be a great idea to have a further menu where the first three foot switches are saved loops, chorus, verse etc. This would be a fantastic option and I am sure others would agree. Is there a place to log such a request. It must be possible as its just another menu structure on the 4th foot switch.

Cheers for your help Richard

Hi,

What a great site this is. I have used it once before and am impressed with the help that is at hand from the line 6 guys and users of Line6 gear and the speed of response.

I think I maybe getting there. Although I had everything switched off in the settings I have knocked the amp knob which kicks everything back in. I now ensure that the settings are off as described in the thread and ensure all knobs are fully off. Things are much better but I need a proper session with the new kit, this will happen this weekend with the purchase of a new guitar, I hope!

I will play without the JM4 and then compare the sound with it in the chain. I will let you know how I get on

Cheers, Richard your help is much appreciated.

I appreciate your help.

I have made these changes but there is still quite a difference.

Your post suggests that you are going from guitar to JM4 to XT pod to amp. I am going from guitar to XTL to JM4 to Amp.

I also tried changing the setting from "Normal" to "Performance" but I got no sound from the amp at all?

Cheers Richard

Hi Line6miller,

Thanks for the response. I have tried switching off all effects in the setup menu on the JM4 but it still has a large impact on my tone. I had hoped to be able to have my set up as described above and jam when I wanted and also be able to play without it and assumed that my sound would be the same. The only solution appears at the moment to be to plug into the JM4 and from there to the amp when jamming. Then plug into xtl and from there to my amp when I want my gigging sound. A bit of a shame if this the only option and also means that I would not be able to record using the wah wah pedal. I was going through the effects loop on my amp but have tried going into the front but still no joy.

I am beginning to the think that the issue is that the JM4 has the guitar tones built in that I have on my xtl. Other loopers, Jamman and boss rc20 dont and perhaps would have been better in my set up. Strange if the Line 6 products are not geared to work together seemlessly.

I hope you can help.

Thanks again Richard

JM4 Looper used with XTL

support@line6.com — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:11:32 GMT

I have just got a JM4 looper and already have an XTL. I want to use the XTL to control my tone and the JM4 just to record and play along with the pre-recorded jams. However the JM4 takes over the tone as well. What am I doing wrong! I have my guitar plugged into the XTL and the output of the XTL goes into the guitar input on the JM4 and the left line out is connected to my amp.

I am probably being a muppet but am new to this, thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers Richard
