Re: JTV-69 neck replacement

support@line6.com — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:28:43 GMT

Anyone else tried this yet. You will have to trust me that this works. Despite what a few may think to the contrary, this Japanese made neck from my trusty old unused Variax 700 is much better than the original Tyler designed neck and feels very familiar in my hands with hundreds of hours of playing and gigging with it. It is still in perfect condition apart from a little fret wear but the action is great and intoned perfect. You may notice that these are not the original tuners but they do allow dive bombing and still she stays in tune.

No problems fitting, just the extra hole needed pre drilling with a 3 mm bit. Both E strings are pretty close to the edge but thus far with some pretty heavy testing have stayed put. I think in all probability this neck will stay on this JTV.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Re: My Rig is Too Damn Loud

What it really boils down to in conclusion is the L6 Link. Without that cable, everything is manageable albeit requires some thought about the cabling method you apply, depending on how you require the rig to behave.

Everything else, I totally agree with you, I cannot understand why the output via the L6Link is so extraordinarily hot like it is. I guess if enough is mentioned about the issue then Line 6 may spot this on here and do some magic with an update. It doesn't bother me in my situation but some users that rely heavily on the Dream Rig may well want to push this issue.

I don't think changing your speaker impedence to a 16ohm load will yield the results you might expect. It will still be painfully loud.

Just another point. If you do away with the L6Link, then don't forget to set appropriate output from the HD for the amp input type but I'm pretty sure you know about that stuff already.

Re: M13 not going into the FX-Loop ? 4-CM. HELP !

I agree, make sure the effects loop is after effect 1 and before 2,3 and 4. It sounds very much like that is the problem so the delay is going before the pre amp rather than in the amp's effects loop.

You have my every sympathy. I no longer use the HD500 and most definitely not the Line 6 Link for gigging because of that very reason. I have the DT50 head and 4X12 cab so you will understand that my dilemna with volume was excessive to the extreme.

Because I have gone back to high end pedals of my own choosing and still using the DT50, I can set my master volume at full on with channel 1 at around 1 oclock and channel 2 at around 10 oclock. Both channels of the amp are midi programmed to be Soldano crunch and dist channels from a flick of the on switch. I do not have to reduce any output settings on any of my pedals to compensate for the high volume capability of the amp. Everything is pretty much set at default output and indeed when I A/B against my guitar and lead straight into the amps input jack the apparent volume is pretty much the same.

I play very loud at gigs and the way I have it set up just plain and simple works with no digital artifacts, drop outs, just plain old dripping tone.

I know it doesn't help you in your current position and I can tell you I gave the dream rig a fair crack before realising it wasn't for me.

Each to their own, but try the 4 cable method and ditch the L6Link, ok, so if you use a Variax, you are back to manual selects but it has to be better than excessive volume.

Re: DTxx amp when POD HD500 is NOT connected?

support@line6.com — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:26:15 GMT

I'm not sure I fully understand all of the above but you may find this useful info.

I connected HD500 to DT50 and using L6 link if I remember correctly and by using midi messages I have programmed channel A as a Soldano Crunch Model and channel B as a Soldano Distortion channel on the DT50. The changes in the DT50 are permanent unless I do a factory reset on the amp its self. I do not use the HD500 to gig anymore, I much prefer my own pedals. As for the amp, well it's a bit good now, not that it wasn't before. Sorry if I am way off track here.

Re: G30 Battery Door Popped Open and Broke the Clip

I use a couple of hair ties to keep the door shut which also keeps the unit attached to the guitar strap but I agree, it shouldn't have to be that way. It works but is downright awkward switching the thing on and off.

That is excellent work dude

Does an Alesis F2 controller work with HD500/M13?

Re: G50 and Rechargeable Batteries

I've just bought 8 Sanyo Eneloop XX AA batteries and an intelligent charger for use with my G30. I've followed recommendations for prepping the batteries and they're ready to go gigging tomorrow. Until now I have been using Lithium batteries and they are great and long lasting.

I'll let you know how I get on with the Eneloops.
