Dream rig or Amplifi
brue58ski replied to Woodstack's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
One more Amplifi thumbs down, HD500 FRFR speakers thumbs up. -
Mine goes to 11. :P Anyway, mine will go to 100% and 0% when I adjust it from my JTV69. I have the 500 not the 500X.

Supposedly there are two versions of this pedal. Version 1 which didn't work well and had a 20k ohm pot and version 2 which now has a 10k ohm pot. This works better supposedly. Can you new purchasers cofirm that it works well now?

So I Finally Jumped Ship, Dumped My Hd500 And The Last Of My Line 6 Gear.

The resistance of the pedal is critical for proper operation. A voltage is sent through the pedal and the postion of the pedal changes that voltage. That voltage is sent back to the HD500. The HD500 uses that voltage to determine where the pedal is. The resistance of the pedal's potentiometer affects how the voltage changes over the pedal's movement. It is my understanding that 10K is the optimum resistance for the HD500. There is a pedal from Mission Called the EP1-L6 that is made for the Line 6 Pod's inclucing the HD500. See here http://missionengineering.com/?product=ep1-l6 Even they got the resistance wrong based on this quote regarding the pedal: What is the importance of stating that these are version 2.0 pedals? The original EP1 Line 6 pedals (version 1.0) used a 20K Ohm pot. There were some Line 6 devices that did not work well with that design. The pedal design has since been updated and all v.2.0 EP1-L6's are fitted with a 10K potentiometer that is compatible with all Line 6 devices. Bottom line: if you need an expression pedal for your Line 6 device, THIS is the pedal for you! From this website: http://www.selectsoundsllc.com/mission-expression-line-6-pedal-red.html I'm also pretty sure the taper has something to do with this. There are two that I know of. Linear and Audio. The Linear taper changes to voltage smoothly but the Audio taper does not. The Audio taper works well with volume pedals but in the case of an expression pedal it would not. I think it would work the way I hear people describe how it's not working. So two things to consider before completely writing off the HD500. Don't give up yet. Even the cheap plastic pedal Line 6 sells works well in regard to this. -

Where do you get that from? I can assure you of one thing. There is no policy "protecting" Christian people from any "bad" words. The "bad word filter" is in no way connected nor is it there for, from or by any religion or group, let alone Christians. It's just some Line 6 official policy. But I guess people like to point fingers at certain groups. Even though there is no evidence to confirm their claim. Let alone the fact that the word D I C K has no overtly religious connection that I know of and is not considered religiously correct or incorrect. You seem to have some gripe against Christians that you might consider getting over. -

At least that's what we thought until the singer showed up. We're the second tier. -
When you go to upgrade the X3, do you tell it to save your presets or over write them. I do remember issues when you tell it to save your presets. Save your presets to your computer and then when it asks if you want to save your presets during the upgrade say no. This may help uncorrupt any corrupted patches by deleting them from your X3. Hope this helps in some way

Absolutely. One thing motorcycle riding taught me is situational awarness. Constantly knowing and watching what's going on around you. Saved my a$$ more than once in car and on bike. Now, about that AC/DC tone......... :D ;) -
Rollback From Flash V2.1 To V1.9

Actually, it is. But limited. The choices are audio or linear. -

brue58ski replied to EOengineer's topic in POD HD
I actually like trying to get a patch to sound "spot on" (whatever that really is) to a song and it seems in many ways, because of the improved models, easier than before. With the X3 and the previous Line 6 modelers, I couldn't just read about somebodies rig and then use those models and get close. I often had to use a different model than what the artist originally used. Now I can use what the artist used and generally get very close. Not always but at the very least the HD500 gets me closer than the previous Line 6 modelers. Although I STILL can't get that elusive AC/DC sound. It's so frustrating!!. I mean for something that sounds so raw and pure amp, you'd think it'd be easy but I've never gotten close and have tried many times. I don't care what Angus says, I think his amps are modded in some way ;). -
Yes. There's an option in Line 6 Monkey to update from file. Click on that and then it will have a box for you to go to where your file is.

Jtv Factory Models Available In Hd500?
brue58ski replied to brue58ski's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Oh well. I mean I realize, since I can't get it back, that it was an anomaly and not the way it was meant to be. But I sure got a little excited for a moment. -

brue58ski replied to brue58ski's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
They were there though if only temporarily. And the F choices were different than the choices with no letter in front i.e. the models I had changed. I know what I saw and heard. -
God bless ya both. Worked great!

I had both the HD Edit and HD Workbench going when HD Edit stopped responding. I closed all the programs and now when I power up my HD500 all I get is the Line 6 logo appearing disappearing and reappearing on my HD500 screen. I've reinstalled everything and tried numerous times to reflash and go back to different flash versions to no avail. I seem to remember this happening to someone else but don't remember if there was a fix. Any ideas? ARRRGH!

Jtv Factory Models Available In Hd500?
brue58ski replied to brue58ski's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Well they're gone. I did mess with the HD500 screen and noticed it only had U in front of all the JTV models. I changed a few from the HD500 itself and then went back to the HD500 edit program and they weren't there anymore. I have tried numerous things to get them back but to no avail. I will keep trying. When the "F" models were there, the user models had no letter in front of them. Now they all have the letter U with no F models at all. -
I haven't seen that anyone else has noticed this but in the HD500 edit program, You can choose from the models you have (or have not) changed or you can go to an area where all the models have the letter F before them. Those are the original models. In other words, in an HD500 patch, let's say you've changed the Spank 4 position to something you like but there was one patch where the original Spank 4 model sounded awesome. You now can program that into your HD500 patch. AND still keep the changed Spank 4 model on your JTV. I LIKE it! In playing with it, if you change the JTV models from the JTV itself it shows up as a factory model in the HD500. I'm curious if when changing guitar models on the JTV when using a 1/4" cable if the same is true. Do you get the factory models or your custom models. I see no way to swap between the two without the HD500. Including in the Workbench program.

Yeah it's too bad. With earlier Pods you were able to do that. VERY handy.

Sg Sound On Jtvariax
brue58ski replied to MatB39's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Yes try the Les Paul Jr body for the SG. Or any of the other flat solid bodies in the "Special" category. That's your first stop in recreating an SG. I have an SG, and have gotten close with the old Variax models. Haven't had time to try it with the JTV models (HD).- 20 replies

"Unless you're handy with electronics and have the knowledge and equipment to repair it, I don't recommend that anyone buy a Vetta at any price. Not unless you're into collecting boat anchors." Do you know if it was that pesky battery issue?

The Pod HD500X connected to one of the Line 6 DT amps with the Line 6 Link. See this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amvfNmHbdw0

Bottom line. Best if impedances are the same but if not, make SURE the cab impedance is greater than the amps impedance. Burnt out amp will result if you don't.

I ALMOST got one because of that. they seem flimsy on the HD500. They are the same ones on the X3 Live with which I have had no problems. So because of that and I've got to watch my pennies I'll be patient and wait for the next major upgrade.
