Jtv69 And Pod Xt


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Does anyone know what happens if you plug the cat 5 type plug from a variax into the socket -marked 'pedal'on a pod xt (red bean type)? It says in the blurb about the jtvs that the have 'limiyed compatibility' with pod xt....what does this mean?

 

thanks

Thanks for your replies....Its just a bit odd that these two Line 6 products have the same kind of connector on them and it does mention 'limited compatibility'....and yet there is no specific warning anywhere in the documentation or product videos that warns you not to connect them.

Sooner or later some angry user with a ruined JTV will file a McLawsuit...then there will be a warning label just like on the coffee cups at the drive-thru...

the "same type" cable is an industry standard cable (cat5) with an industry standard connecter/socket (rj45)

it is used in many many things... including your computer and your cable modem....

neither of which offer any compatibility through that connection.

you did good to ask, now you know. it's that simple.

Yes - the connection will attempt to establish a power flow from your XT to your Variax guitar. If power begins to flow, the power will probably not match the voltage/type of power that the Variax is expecting to receive. This may cause internal damage to your Variax, and perhaps even to your XT.

 

Even if there is no damage the connection certainly won't do anything useful in terms of the XT and the Variax communicating with each other.

 

Do this at your own risk.
