DJCSMC2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hello everyone. When I bought my V120 I was instructed to NOT update the software because of issues Line6 was having. Has this been resolved yet? Should I update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traphillman Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I am in the same boat and have the same question. Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADBrown Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hello everyone. When I bought my V120 I was instructed to NOT update the software because of issues Line6 was having. Has this been resolved yet? Should I update? It is fine to update to the latest firmware, there are no issues in doing this. I've been running the latest firmware since it's release with no problem (also with g10t and FBV3). I'm wondering where you heard this and if they provided any other reasons/info?

The guy at my Guitar Center told me not to until further notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traphillman Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 What is the latest update to the 120W now? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCSMC2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 What is the latest update to the 120W now? Thanks, Scott The website 1.04.0 I'm not sure which version my amp is at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traphillman Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wow, I just bought a brand new 120W and the version is 1.02. I have downloaded the Updater but I am waiting to receive the right kind of usb cable to get the new update down loaded to the amp. Thanks!

DJCSMC2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I updated mine earlier right through my iPad. Took about 5 minutes. So far so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Just an FYI, you can also update the amp using the Spider Remote app on a phone/tablet as well as the Line 6 Updater on a computer. You will find the update option in the settings menu on the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the employee told you to hold off updating, but there should be no problem in using the latest firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traphillman Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thank you. I wish my tablet worked with the Spider Remote App but when I tried to download it I got a prompt that said it was not compatible. But the cable I need to do it through my computer arrived today. So I am set! Thanks, again. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCSMC2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Good to hear! Not sure why the employee told you to hold off updating, but there should be no problem in using the latest firmware. I actually called up there right before I did the update and talked with one of the other salesman and he said he never heard to not update. I was like ummm ok thanks. Plugged in my iPad, opened the spider app and updated. I did however unplug my shortboard just in case. When I was ready to play I got no sound at all. I was like uh oh, I was so excited I never put my g10 in 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
