  1. 1- Intellectual Property rights issues. They are very protective of that here. So I would not want to

    see anyone get in trouble over that.

     

    2- Even if you could, the program IC would be blank, so the board would not do anything. And no,

    can't use Monkey for that. Monkey just load and updates models, does not have the core program.

    So Monkey would not be useful for that. Getting that program,.... well, see #1.

     

    3- If such a guitar with this board in it were to come across my repair bench or bench of an authorized

    service center, it would be returned untouched, as a product with an unsupported modification.

     

     

    Mr Legler being in the EU, Full Compass won't do, maybe an equivalent supplier over there. Or as I

    mentioned before, get a used one to pull parts from, that has a good program board in it

     

    Hope you find it,... fröhliche Jagd.

     

     

  2. Tunings have to be part of the custom patch you create and name, so when you do an Upload All,

    everything uploads with it, including the Alt Tune strings. As far as I know, there is no way to do a

    Global Alt Tune. That would need a virtual Alt Tune knob for that. So, Alt Tunes are done as part of

    each custom patch. 

     

    What is the Flash version you have in your JTV?

     

  3. It is not a Line 6 product. It has not been tested or scrutinized here at Line 6, therefore it is not a Line 6 endorsed device.

    Use at your own risk. If a Variax gets damaged by it or is used improperly, it may void any warranty on the Variax. 

     

    Looking for cheaper shortcuts,...

    There is a Murphy's Law that says,"The shortcut is the longest distance between two points."

     

    Be careful, be safe.

     

  4. GK3 on JTV's seem to work fine. Have had a few JTV's with those come across my repair bench.

    They have to be run as a separate external circuit and and signal path. They can't be incorporated

    into the JTV circuit or signal path.

     

    Multiple signal paths, multiple amps,... good opportunity to do interesting things in regards the spatial

    acoustical variety of sounds. Have your audience swimming in a soundscape you create.

     

    BTW, regarding Lazlo's blog,... my music partner used to work at 360 Systems and was a tech/engineering

    on the Slave Driver. Our friend Shawn Phillips used one when he was with the band Cosmic Debris back

    in the day (late 1970's and early 80's). I worked at 360 Systems later (1979-80), to build LM-1 drum computers for

    Roger Linn and his Linn Electronics.

     

     

  5. What silverhead said, he knows his stuff. 

     

    Nice thing about the X3 Live is that it connects fine to both. Own a 300 electric and a JTV-69 and they connect fine to X3 Live. 

    Still use one at my bench at Line 6, because I can use it to test and check both original and current Variax guitars when I finish servicing them. 

     

    The main difference is that the JTV-69 looks and feels more like a Strat than the 300 electric. Both play fine,

    I like and use them both when I record. 

     

  6. Log a Support ticket in your account, they can tell you what your option are.

     

    "My JTV serial indicates 2020,... ", close,... early 2019.

     

    Stripped rod nut,... option-1, I would pull up the fret board and replaced the rod. 

    By typically, they would have me do option-2,... just swap out the neck for another one,

    as it doesn't take as long waiting for the glue to dry on the fret board, for a rod replacement.

     

     

  7. First off,... keep your fingers out of the insides of it. Even with the power off, there some high volt capacitors in there,

    and it really hurts when you get zapped by them.

     

    Second, self repair of these tube amps is ill advised, unless you have lots of experience with these,...

    ... because third, if something goes wrong, it could get further damaged beyond anyone's ability to fix.

     

    https://line6.com/find/service_center/  , so go with the authorized service tech with experience with our products.

     

    "Can I scavenge parts like a control board or other things from the 40w combo to use in the HD100 head? "---

    No. Different boards,... especially the main boards as they are programmed different for 112, 212 combos and the heads. 

    And output load boards and UI boards are different. Combo parts are NOT interchangeable with head parts (and vice versa).

     

    "General oddness ",... when was the last time the tubes (valves) were replaced???

    Are the specified 12AX7 pre-amp and matched quartet Sovtech 5881 medium tubes?
