Dears,
just to give my frustration about this digital link issues to this thread.
- Stagescape with digital Link -> 3 Gigs done, two times a disaster. The link was interrupted several times in 2 gigs. (Yes I have used special super duper 110 Ohm Cables) At the and I have changed to Behringer X32 with analog to Stagesource. No problem till 8 Years.
- Variax with digital Link -> Same lollipop, frequently the Helix is not transporting the guitar information to the Variax. This makes a real WOW-Effect on gigs. Beside that, this is a known Bug (Yes, I am using always the latest Updates)
- Powercab with AES -> Same lollipop, the powercab frequently is getting the wrong data for adjustments. This makes the ears banging, today I have got 125 dB my ears are ringing. (Yes I have used a special super duper 110 Ohm cable) Beside that, I have seen some postings about the same behavior in different portals.
My personal opinion: Line6 is serving us with cool stuff, great ideas yes I love it. But this digital transfer lollipop is always a mess when it comes from Line6.
No, I will not change my gear, I will stay with Line6, but I am still frustrated to see, that they develop new things instead of making their portfolio compatible and RELIABLE.
Just have a look at the date stamp of the lates SW-Updates for Variax, Powercab & Stagesource, this will tell the same story.
Greetings,
Mike
