I have ALWAYS had this issue with this microphone. I tried to figure out what the issue was years ago, with no solution. I still keep it around, but mostly it goes unused for exactly this reason. If anyone figures it out, I'd love to have it sorted.

Any idea of a general estimate for the cost of this? In the meantime, I'll try and dig up an old computer and see if it will connect to that. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated Psarkissian. Cheers, David

Done. Both Registered just now.

Two Windoze laptops (thinkpads, if it's relevant) and an old mac laptop now as well. Workbench HD. I can't tell you the flash version of the JTV69 as it will no longer connect. I'm fairly sure it's the latest though. Green light on one side, red light on the other. I'm having no problem connecting the JTV89F.

Yet another can't connect to Workbench problem. I can't connect my JTV 69 to Workbench, suddenly. It always could before. I just picked up a JTV 89, and wanted to move some settings over. The JTV 89 connects perfectly, but for the first time ever the JTV 69 won't. I have two sets of everything, and have tried everything, and reset everything, and reinstalled everything, and even removed the battery from the JTV 69 for hours in the hope that might prompt something. I've looked inside and all cables are connected. I've looked at the ethernet jack and it looks fine. The JTV 69 still plays fine, no issues. It just won't connect to Workbench.

Your arrogance is astounding. Am I confused? Do you work for the company? I certainly hope not. Are MIDI to USB adaptors proprietary? Does only Line6 make MIDI to USB adaptors? Do MIDI to USB adaptors have other uses except for one product? Are they super expensive? Could a person lose or break a super expensive only does one thing and has no other use in the universe tool, which yet without it the actual product can not receive the most basic of maintenance? This is a consistent and common complaint about Variax guitars.

Just wow. And this is exactly why I avoid buying any more Line6 products, and god knows I've owned a lot of them. Imagine if any other device required a special unique proprietary super expensive thing, just for basic maintenance. Imagine if you needed to spend 100 just for a standard usb cable to flash any other device (computer in fact, and that is what a Variax partly is). Yes, it is absolutely Line6's fault, and I promise if people banded together and pressed the issue, the lawsuit would be won easily. I'm an ex computer industry geek. This happens all the time. So, do nothing about it. I really don't care. Not my circus. Not my Monkey. As a last word of advice though, companies actually pay huge sums of money for research into customer needs and complaints, and they understand it's of value. One of the best bit's of advice I've ever been given is to tell someone when they are failing at something. You don't do them any favours by keeping it a secret and letting them live oblivious to it. Have a nice day.

I don't even want to use the workbench software. The presets can stay at default. I don't want to use (buy another, sold long ago) Pod / Helix product. I just want to reflash the guitar. This is actually grounds for a lawsuit. Line 6 / Yamaha legally is probably obligated to provide a way to service a product that doesn't require buying another product. At the very least, it should be a matter of customer support.
