  1.  

    http://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3d63a058e7eb2d0d632/file/zip/varaix-shuriken-bundle.zip

     

    For the Shuriken default Bundle.

     

    As for the truss rod,... the SR270, 27" scale has the rod nut access at the body side of the neck, the SR250, 25-1/2" scale has it at the head stock.

    No particular reason. But it is a good way to tell them apart from one another, and the truss rod pull tension on the 27" seems better where the body

    and neck meet,... a mechanical tension thing.

     

     

  2. No, because you won't be using the server, so login is useless. Monkey would simply be the conduit.

    Go to Downloads page on the Line 6 site, get Firmware, save to your computer.

     

    Open Monkey,... select what you want to install or update. Lower right in the window it will say "update from file",

    click on it, then open the file from your computer (not the Line 6 server) for what you downloaded earlier.

     

    It has to be the file for what you selected. If you selected Flash, then DON'T try to load USB driver, that won't work.

    It would have to be the corresponding file for the update selection.

     

  3. Never needed Monkey to 'use' Workbench (or Workbench HD), as they are two different applications.

    Monkey is for doing Firmware updates. Workbench is for doing custom patches and tuning to 300, 500

    and 700 series Variax. Workbench HD application for custom patches and tuning for JTV, Standard and Shuriken.

  4. 1) Sony A7III camera charger,... don't go there. He's correct, it's a slight difference that makes all the difference.

    Some of the Sony are two contact, or the charge/discharge rate is not what it should be. And Sony charger not

    compatible with a Line 6 JTV/Standard/Shuriken battery.

     

    2) XPS (wedge or soap bar) is an external powered DI box, used in place of battery, using a 1/4" TRS guitar cable. It won't charge the battery.

     

    3) He's correct, "Stick with the official charger or a third-party charger that is explicitly designed for Variax batteries. "

     

    Yes, use the official Line 6 battery and charger kit. I've had issues with Variaxes coming my bench for repair with 3rd party batteries and chargers.

    In some cases, they were the source of the problem. Not good.

     

     

     

     

  5. I'm thinking of downgrading my Vetta Combo from version 2.50 to 1.05 or 1.10 because 2.50 has already given me several bugs and I see that everyone who has this version has had some kind of problem Can anyone with an older version of Vetta tell me if it crashes or something?

     

    Google Translate.

  6. Something I've been doing recently,...

    Download page, then download it to your computer, save it to a folder.

    Once that's is done, connect the guitar or bass and open Monkey.

    Select portion you want to update, "update from file" will appear, click on it, go into the

    folder with the downloaded Line 6 file and open it in Monkey from there.

    Follow the prompts and update or "reinstall".

  7. First off, do not use camcorder batteries in the JTV's, they are not as compatible as you may have been lead to believe.

    The JTV Line 6 battery is getting old and spent, and is not charging the way it should. 98-034-0003 is an older part number

    on the battery, whereas 98-034-0009 is the current number.

     

    Or, a failed solder point on the battery box circuit sending a false low volt signal to the main board. The JTV-59, battery

    and charger should be checked out at the nearest Line 6 authorized service center.
