FYI. I was able to download and reflash to 1.71 with no issue. One side note 1.71 doesn't not support controlling tunings from a POD directly. Tuning knobs etc... all work properly just can't set directly on the POD. I'm in love again. This sounds more like I expect my Variax to sound, no odd quacks. I know it's up to individuals but this to me is the pinnacle. Just missing some minor stuff.

Yes, I explained that on the video. You also cannot turn on or off the modelling from the pod on a preset basis. That's what basically sucks about 1.71, other than that I love it. I really don't care much for workbench

Good video and I agree with you on the acoustics, for the most part.  One question for you, who position did you have the tone control set for the acoustics?  I found the least amount of ambiance with the tone on 10, with more being rolled in as the tone control is turned down.

Everything was recorded with tone knob on 100%....or clockwise, whatever you prefer.

I checked if I had the same option to rollback my 89F and I got the same thing as with my 59!

I don't think I did or have any special condition to enable me to rollback to 1.71...the 89F is brand new, the 59 is a little over a year old, I'm running the latest monkey on a macbook running el capitan.

I used a jtv-59 but I guess it would work the same with any other of my jtv's. I just rolled back with the monkey in the most standard way. 1.71 was the oldest firmware on the list when I clicked "rollback".

I'll check today if the same thing happens with my 89F

You had to remove the whole bridge to tighten the screw? That suck. I have some play too, gotta check it it's the mount too.

Well, some people have been talking about rolling back and not being satisfied with the latest firmware. Many revert to 1.9, but I thought I'd do a video comparison with my favourite, the 1.71

Check it out

could this help?

The question is in regards to the possibility! Can you? If so, how? JTV guts aren't exactly your everyday  standard guitar wiring!

The topic says it all...

I saw this parker fly signature model, by adrian belew or something, and the guy had variax guts (not jtv) and a sustainiac...I was wondering if anyone had done it with a JTV...I got a sustainiac layin' around and i'd love to fit it to one of my JTV's

Hey guys

I've tried to use my HD500X to act also as my vocals processor, but I always get the same problem...when changing presets, the mic sound is briefly cut, which is very noticeable when singing, so I've been using a separate vocal pedal.

But it seems this could be easily fixed if they had a separate signal path and maybe also a separate output (although not crucial) for the mic that wouldn't get affected by this sound cut when changing presets.

So I created this idea http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Separate-signal-output-for-mic-voice/773878-23508?submitted=1

All in favor, please vote +1 ! :)

Did it always happen or just recently? 

Neve mind my last post...

we traced the problem to something else...try this - Connect everything as it should, then pull the jack out just about 1 or 2 milimeters. That solved my bassist problem. 

Hey guys

I recently got the G50, so I thought I'd do a video review on like...

let me know what you guys think

Have you tried wiggling the jack on the guitar? My bass player had volume drops, and it happened when he touched/wiggled the jack...some kind of bad connection or bad soldering inside the jack going from the bass to the transmiter...it was NOT his bass!

Not exactly a live performance, but here am I and my 69!

Here's a gig I did with my band when I had a TSB 59...now I got a black 59 and a red 69

Firmware:

1 - Why would a GLOBAL EQ work on a preset by preset basis?! It's GLOBAL, and if you want to EQ your different presets, just had an EQ to them and tweak it!

2 - That would be nice!

3 - Also, a good idea!

Variax:

1 - Don't think so

2 - Maybe...don't know

My dear JTV...this standard one is horrible imo!

I can only see a 2 negatives in the press release.

1 - I really don't like the "pacifica meets variax" guitar, just for the looks...I really think the pacifica is a really dumpy looking guitar...I'm soooooooo happy with my beauuuuutiful JTV's!!!

2 - Still no VDI wireless, which would be heaven for me...

I don't care about the firehawk, I love the new HD update with its new features, specially the global EQ, and the new wireless seems pretty wild!!!

Nicely done Line 6!!! 

I don't know about ableton, but maybe this will help:

Yeah, I guarantee my suggestion will work as you want, it's just a matter of programing the dual amp preset as I mentioned!

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but here's my 2cents

there are 3 ways to clean the sound, either by lowering the guitar volume, or pedal volume, or lowering the drive on the amp. If you've got a JTV, you can do the 3 options either on the guitar, or on the expression pedal.

It seems you're trying to lower the volume on the pedal to clean up the sound and would like to just lower the drive! You can assign the drive to the expression pedal instead of volume. Just navigate the arrow and put it on the amp, double click "MOVE" and you'll the the assign screen. Select "DRIVE" on the PARAMETER, select the desired controller, like EXP pedal 1 or 2, and then select the min and max value you want! Voilá! 

If you have a JTV you can do the same thing but set the JTV volume or tone knob as the controller.

You can't set a parameter like DRIVE to a footswitch, but I have an idea for you to do that! I'm assuming it's a single amp preset...

on the AMP block, put 2 amp, exactly the same, but with different drive levels as you want them to be (clean and distorted). Have one of the amps ON and the other OFF. Now press and hold ENTER and assign the footswitch you want, and do the same to the other amp. This way, that footswitch will turn ON and OFF both amps at the same time, so you'll either have a clean or distorted one working at one time!

Hope these directions were clear enough...let me know!

cheers

looks really really good!!!!!! I love it!!! Nice job

Y'all,

new to HD500X and have never used midi - so please excuse and correct or question any statements I fail on...

So, the HD500X can be programmed to send CC commands when FS1-4 is pressed.  

If I assign a CC msg to FS1 and have FS1 default "on" for a given patch, does that CC command get sent when I select that patch?

 

My goal: to have my HD500X control my amp's channel and boost, which are controlled by CC msgs.  I want a patch in a given bank to be my "lead" patch - add compression, EQ, AND tell my amp to enable boost.

 

Thank you!

-Bob

1 - You can assign midi commands to any button

2 - Are you operating the HD to use ABCD or FS from 1-8? If you want to send a midi message at the time you change patch you just program that midi message to the button assigned to that specific patch...let's say you want to change your amps channel when going into preset "C", you just program footswitch C to send that midi message, so once you press C it will change both patch on POD and channel on AMP...

This may also help, but let me know if you still have issues and I'll try to help!

This is great

I just bought a pickguard for mine and I was trying to figure out how to install it without drilling...how did u do it?

Hello Pugdealer,

It makes more sense what you explain I haven't thought about it. I'll definitely send them an email to ask if disaster area can communicate with my pod HD 500.

Want to like to do?

Like to keep the HUD 500 for the modulation and delays effects.

If that's all you want then a simple programmable MIDI foot controller will do!
