...interesting... You're reporting for half a year of a guitar that your friend bought... Maybe it's time to make it a little more concrete, for example with a recording of the problem - otherwise it's hard to judge over it ;-)

I'm sorry that you can't be helped with your instrument! However, this says little about other JTVs and certainly nothing about Helix. Good luck again, cheers!

...well, did those tips help you?

Sorry, but I cannot agree with this at all (and I also have a 'Korean JTV'). Some folks talk about second hand guitars here, others mention very dubious fabrications... My new JTV was - and still is - in a very good shape ;-) Check these mods out (problems with plinging strings) - if you haven't already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJhdSczB-lI

NEW pod (go) Why is it a pod-helix - not a Helixpod?!

In fact, a rather tabular academic scientific approach... When I got my Helix 5 years ago, the first year I was mainly busy with playing guitar and tweaking ;-)

(@Nightsky1376) Who turned the clock? Is it Groundhog Day again? First of all: The (endless) debate about the 'amp-in-the-room' sound vs. the more 'mic'd recorded sound' filled this forum years ago already - (and leads systematically to ) An amp in a room is an amp in a room and logically will always sound different than a FRFR system (maybe more like an - amp in a room?). Maybe you should switch to a tube amp (Line6 DT series for example)? Nevertheless, with (Global-) Eq's it's no longer a problem to tastefully influence the more high-frequency sound of a FRFR system. This is NOT a question of IR's in the first place. Both ways lead to good sound results - but they HAVE to sound different (because you are using different hardware, speakers etc). Besides, Jason Sadites made this informative video (last year): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2JP8uXQZB0 Eagerly awaiting a more detailed description of your (hardware) setup and your recording ;-)

No wireless stuff (inluding BT) built into professional gear. <- Full stop.

??? Already have one. Nice. Even more LEDs!

Yeah, man. Good ol' stuff like Love it. Even the most useful hanging hook :-7

Follow and read these detailed update informations: Updating to 2.80 There's no need (anymore) for a MIDI connection to connect Helix and DT amps!

Come back and stay

Yep. L6, you make my day again

==> All presets suck...

I see. (But I was following these threads long time ago, fortunately ;-) ) Many people were able to fix this. I was able to fix this (irritating noise), too. The piezo Pu's, the bridge (esp. of the JTV) can be somewhat tricky - in combination with the very sophisticated possibilities of Workbench HD. When you are the proud owner of a high-tech guitar, it can sometimes be a little more complicated to find a solution to a seemingly small problem. Anyway, for some folks and their JTV a simple reflash of the firmware did it, for example. And we and should transfer the topic to the appropriate threads now, I guess: https://line6.com/support/forum/37-variax-instruments/

This ^^^. Are you one of those, Mark?!

Please - give me a link to "that part of the forum". I'm really curious who said so - and when "Line 6 has admitted they don't know how to fix this problem"...

Special attention to the underlined stuff ;-) If you choose an output block in Helix, you can change all these parameters. You (only) need the L6 LINK connection (from Helix to DT amp)!

Check this out: https://line6.com/support/topic/48600-thank-you-for-dreamrig-dt-helix-jtv/?tab=comments#comment-304239 The settings are made in the OUTPUT BLOCK

Right ;-) For the JTV (although this is really getting offtopic) check out these tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJhdSczB-lI And you were talking about the JTV's, not about (all) Variaxes, right?

Yep, and make your dreamrig complete with a Variax ;-)

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G . Best option: You can use Helix amps with no limits. Have HD500 too, will sell it now (maybe ;-) )

THANK YOU Line6 for giving me my dreamrig (back. Had Pod HD500 JTV and DT 'before'). Runs like a dream with Helix FW 2.80. Really great job, extremely appreciated!!!
