  1. 1. No.

     

    2. Re-Flashing v1.7x should work with old Workbench,... up to a point. JTV-69 being newer, features that work

    better in Workbench HD, than with old Workbench.

     

    -The neck won't affect the acoustic sound patch on the 69 beyond intonation. There is no portability between

    old and new Variax patches, even going back to v1.7x, using old Workbench. There is no interchangeability like

    that between old and new patches. People have tried that early on, it didn't work.

     

     

     

  2. I don't.

    But then I have Variax and a couple of the kind of real guitars that are modeled. But nice to jump through some different guitars

    during the course of a piece of music when using Variax. I try my best to give them all equal playing time.

     

    Beginning to see the fun that Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin have doing that, as they both have their collection of guitars,.... and Variaxes.

    Mr Howe has a 700 Electric and a JTV, and Mr Rabin has a blue JTV-69.

     

     

     

  3. See if you can exchange them for mediums. Sales people in retail stores don't always have tech background.

    I tend to seek out those that do when I deal with retail.

     

     

  4. No. The gas to vacuum ratio won't be right.

    I'll need to compare data sheet in the morning. Shuguang might be,.... might be a substitute, but I need to confirm the data sheet curves first.

    Panic buying is the worst.

     

    Check with Full Compass, I'll have to dig out the Line 6 part number in the morning.

     

  5. Mini bar good.

     

    DO NOT use those other two. They are NOT Line  6 supplies.

     

    Will it damage the guitar,... maybe, to some diodes or transistors on the main board. They are mainly unreliable over time.

    DO NOT use it.

    229 Kronen is a lot for that AC supply, and it's not even a real Line 6 supply. DO NOT use it.

     

  6. -No portability of Models between old and current Variax.

    -May have a 1st generation bridge, so be certain there is a tremolo bar with it, as there are no more replacements.

    Gave the last one to Sinbad. Current bridge is 3rd generation, a change in how the piezo cable is routed to the main board.

    -Current fret end dressing spec was implemented in 2012.

    -Firmware updated,... after v2.00 it became HD series of product compatible, so it communicates more smoothly with HD products.

    -Main board version was updated for hardware in 2012.

     

    Have a JTV-69 from 2010 myself, and it's been just fine, no problems. Keep it maintained and Firmware up to date, it's great.

  7. 1) Is the Alt Tune engaged? If so, it may be 'dual tone effect', where you hear the sound from the strings in standard tuning,

    while hearing the Alt Tune sound from the amp. Using headphones or turning up the amp minimizes the effect.

     

    2) Do you have the Shuriken bundle loaded? If so, select User III, toggle-1, and tell me which string is sounding.

     

    3) The intonation may need to be checked.
