  1. Be careful, one false move and it's curtains for one or more of the devices. They were not designed to do that, or handle. Proceed at your own risk.
  2. From the Knowledge Base--- http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/effects-controllers/fbv-mki-mkii-controllers/fbvshortboardexpressfbv2-mk-i-and-ii-fbv-3-r506 Q: Can I use a CAT-5 data splitter from my Line 6 unit(s) to run multiple FBV controllers on stage (or run multiple Line 6 units from a single controller)? A: No, The FBV controller was designed to work on its own with a single amplifier. If you feel this is a feature you would want to implement, please submit a feature request. Each amp has a supply line voltage for powering FBV controllers. The over-voltage going to the FBV would wipe the program, or damage the FBV pedal, the FBV circuit in the amp or both. So please don't do that.
  3. No problem, it did need an adjustment or two just the same.
  4. Thank you for that link, I had forgotten that I had added that to the guitar section in the Knowledge Base.
  5. For Line 6 guitars,... neither. There is a hex wrench kit that comes with JTV's that are specific to the particular JTV that you have, that are used for adjusting different items on your JTV (a good idea to let the tech use them, not for novices). Good to know there are some experienced people here.
  6. You have a support ticket in, then you are in. Someone will get it soon.
  7. Check these out,... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=line6+shuriken Had the pleasure of checking out, adjusting and playing both Stevic's Australian prototype Shuriken and adjust and pre-NAMM prep his Line 6 Shuriken,... awesome guitar! His NAMM demo at the booth was informative, and his use of Workbench HD was enlightening. I also saw somewhere here on the Forum, a Pilot's Handbook that gets into some of Stevic's Artist Model patches.
  8. Log a support ticket in your account, someone should be able to help you with that.
  9. Stevic is a sharp guy and knows how to get what he wants out his gear. Good guitar player, and cool guitar designer. Sydney guitar maker Charles Cilia did a great job with the prototype that I check out for them. Plays great. Also checked and tweaked the L6 version Stevic demoed at NAMM,... nice!
  10. When up-ing to a new OS on any computer, all the preferences and software have to be re-loaded all over again, with just about anyone's product, not just L6. Log a support ticket through your account.
  11. If it's a whistling sort of howl, then the intonation needs to be dialed-in a little tighter. If the string gauge was changed without having the set-up checked afterwards, then that would be the source of the artifact. Changing the gauge had an affect on the set-up,... which includes the intonation.
  12. I sort of get what he's trying to say,... sort of. Been in choral groups and learned theory and composition myself. Use a keyboard for most composition, orchestration and arranging. I use guitar for guitar compositions. As far as Baritone fixing that, you can get baritone from the guitars Alt Tune function.
  13. You would be skirting the edge of pitch tracking capabilities by physically tuning down that far. That's what the Alt Tune is for. Also be sure to have the set-up checked by a guitar tech if you change string gauges. When you change gauges, that changes the string tension, which in turn has an affect on the set-up.
  14. Log a support ticket in your Line 6 account. Intermittent contact underneath. If it isn't done right, then it can throw off the alignment on your Model knob.
  15. "Would it be ok to test if a little electronic cleaner/contact spray can fix it?"--- NO! Don't do that. If it's the Tone (or Volume) control that's doing that, then it's not the problem, spray won't solve it. It's physically a little loose?
  16. Most definitely radatats. I've been dealing with tubes (valves) since my teens, 40+ years,... ... I still get zapped from time to time. And it hurts. Can't emphasize that enough.
  17. Rain Song and Run Like Hell (et al) sounds nice now.
  18. The mags are off, but the mag field from the magnets are still there, and pull on the strings if the pick-ups aren't adjusted correctly. They may be off, but the field is still there. It's in the mp3's and CD. Yeah, it's fixable. Intonation was off on three strings, so I adjusted that. And that can add to things as well.
  19. Dual tone: a result of,... 1) hearing the notes coming from the strings in standard tuning, and also hearing the Alt Tune strings through an amp, at the same time. 2) a set-up adjustment issue. Warbling: results from set-up, in particular, the magnetic pick-ups not being adjusted correctly. When Modeling is engaged, this can be amplified and made more obvious.
  20. Might be the touch screen itself. If he's an authorized service center, the tech can get in touch with us for further guidance, if he needs it.
  21. Check on the links with the old posting, there was mention of that with the ones that Stevic McKay and his guitar maker were planning on. Not certain what the status on that is at this time. Check with them. I've worked on and played both versions, Stevic's prototype (cocobolo neck and it was either ebony or dark rosewood fret-board) and the Line 6 version,... both very nice!
  22. I'll check that too thanks. Just in time, got it on the bench right now, just getting started on it.
  23. Best to have an authorized service center do it, as they will have a VariAC and service info to properly calibrate and bias with.
