Oh yes, I tried everything! It's one or the other. If they would have kept all the old models and offered some new ones that would have been ideal. I don't know what they did in regards to sampling with the HD software but it's overall not good. Some of the new features are cool, but nothing I can't live without. Just happy I was able to get my old sounds back! I was already looking for a replacement ax that had the old firmware... Also you would think the HD would be faster, but it's not at least on my Mac.

To be honest, overall the HD samples are no where near as good as the originals, especially the acoustic guitars. Pretty much all the electrics were better before the HD imo, except for maybe the 335. The strat pales in comparison to the old one. Also the I found no need to adjust the individual string volume with the old software but neede it big time with the HD, and still after spending hours working with the HD and a/b'ing with my old sounds, I was very disappointed.

It does work. You just have to rollback the JTV to v1.9. The only way to do this is to make sure the workbench apps are closed, as the monkey won't give you the option while they're open.

It worked like a charm, once I closed the workbench app. Thanks for your help.

Is the flash v.1.9 called something else, cause I can't seem to find it anywhere? Thanks.

I'll give it try, btw but I did have both guitars on HD when it first came out, and was able to switch back to the original, just not sure how I did it. Thanks!

So can you tell me what is the last date that the JTV69 was manufactured to run on the old workbench? Could a licensed tech install a used or older "hard drive" into my guitar to make it compatible with the old workbench? Thanks, Hank

It opens on the old workbench but when I go to save a sound onto it I get this: see attachment

Can I "reboot" the repaired Variax to run on the original Workbench. Then I can just load all my saved sounds.

I just want to run the old version, not the HD.

I have one JTV that is currently using the original workbench.

I just had my James Tyler Variax repaired at Line 6 in L.A. as the hard drive failed. Does anyone know of a way I can get it to work on the original Workbench? Right now it will only work on the HD workbench. Thanks, Hank
