Gentlemen, I was getting distorted sound on my GX, UX2, and UX8 that so many others have described in this forum using Win 10 and a Cherry Trail tablet. It would seem to play at the wrong sample rate and sounded like some bad 8-bit Atari video game noise. This may apply to those with a Surface tablet too. In my case the problem was with the Microsoft Driver for the "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller". Unfortunately Intel discontinued drivers and let Microsoft take over since Win 8. I downloaded the Intel driver 5.0.4.43_v2 for Windows 7, disabled driver signing and edited the .inf to make it work with Win10. After installing the old Intel drivers my Line 6 devices are working properly even through external USB hubs.

No please don't misunderstand he modded a modern PTP BB back to 60's specs and KT66 tubes and he got pretty close. And thank you. RAR

Love my E-Bow. It's absolutely essential for my sound palette.

Put the cab/IR block in your signal chain. Pull it down to create a parallel path. Pull down the mixer block to create a separate output. Assign the outputs per your needs.

It applies to single coil pickups as well. The peak resonance of a pickup makes a big difference to the tone and reaction from an amp. This is why an old school "fuzz" is debated so much... when first in line & engaged the impedance completely changes the peak resonance of the pickups on the guitar. The tone control does something very similar. You can dial in some really magical sweet spots with a little experimenting.

It's very normal with high gain particularly if you have other equipment running eg computers, lights, and it's worse with single coils than humbuckers. What guitar and pups do you have? Lots of things can contribute to noise e.g. earthing, shielding or lack of it in your guitar, your guitar leads, lights on dimmer switches, other devices plugged in on the same ring mains etc.

MF is actually Guitar Center, but the employees know LESS (impossible as that seems) than the typical GC employee. Caveat emptor!

Before attempting this procedure make sure that you have this same controller on your system. Open Device Manager and expand "Sound, video and game controllers" Highlight the Line 6 device At the top of Device Manager in the "View" menu select "Devices by connection" This will show you a tree where your USB device is connected so you can find your USB Controller. For me the tree was: ACPI x64-based PC Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System PCI Express Root Complex Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller The driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-for-Intel-8-9-100-Series-and-Intel-C220-C610-Chipset-Family After extracting you will want to edit iusb3hub.inf and iusb3xhc.inf (located in \Drivers\Win7\x64 if you're on 64-bit) as follows: Replace this text [Manufacturer] Intel(R) Corporation = Intel, NTAMD64.6.1, NTAMD64.6.2 [Intel.NTAMD64.6.2] With this [Manufacturer] Intel(R) Corporation = Intel, NTAMD64.6.1 Then restart with the Disable Driver Signature Enforcement option (hold shift when selecting restart/Troubleshoot/Advanced Options/Startup Settings/Restart/Option 7) Manually install the driver in device manager (right click Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller/Update driver/Browse my computer for driver software/Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer/Have Disk...) Let us know how that goes or post your USB Controller if it's different.

Hi, here we are at May 2020 with still no update... I've been trying to get my UX2 to work for MONTHS with my Mac Catalina OS... Usually I download Line 6 monkey and bam no problem but its unfortunate that we can't even download it because its not 64-bit. I miss using my tones and presets and especially with us all being in quarantine, I've been dying to record some stuff. I love some of these tones and fx, but it is rather difficult when nothing is being done about this. This is my comment, and only commenting on this because has anyone received any updates or know how to get the UX2 and Podfarm 2.5 to work on Catalina OS... what are some alternate options...?
