I've tried the different sounds on the jtv with different presets on the HD500 and it sounds good when playing soft or finger picking, but when I strum hard it seem too muddy, like it's peaking. Even some of the HD500 presets sound horrible with a very distorted sound on the acoustic presets. Ive checked the outputs and everything on the hd and can't figure it out. Anyone gotta clue?

Also, I've played some hours yesterday using only the VDI cable and the battery level stayed the same, shouldn't it have charged during those playing hours???

I've tried all above, but the most helpful thing seems to be tweeking the parametric EQ. Still don't understand why most acoustic presets on the HD500 (1.4) sound so distorted, makes no sense to me!
