I find it sad that Line 6 has known about this problem for awhile and still haven't corrected it in their new products. There seems to be 2 Line 6's and I've experienced both. When it comes to support, they've been spectacular for me. Often going above and beyond. BUT when it comes to actual products and keeping the overall product in good repair, they seem to drop the ball. Here's a few examples of what I mean by this. Vetta was abandoned dumped with several known issues. JTV was advertised to work with the X3 and Vetta. Well they do but just barely. You have to jump through several hoops to get it to work with them and they don't work at all with the computer programs each product uses (Gearbox and Line 6 Edit). I'm quite sure it would be a matter of spending some time updating the code of the two programs but they don't seem to be interested in doing anything about it. I normally program the X3 and Vetta with the computer and one big reason for purchasing my JTV a year ago was X3 and Vetta compatibility. The fact that with the JTV, I couldn't use the computer to program them anymore was VERY frustrating. This kind of thing happened with the Variax bass. It was supposed to have Workbench compatibility. This was advertised and in the Variax bass manual. Never happened. There are other examples that lead me to be a little wary of Line 6 products. I am definitely a Line 6 boy and have stuck with them since Pod XT and Vetta, but given their history I am always wary of Line 6 products and there are some I will just avoid. I refer mainly to the Stage Source products. They seem like a fantastic idea but I can't help but wonder when Line 6 will dump those and you'll be left with several $1,000 doorstops. I'm waiting to see how the JTV and HD500 pan out and whether eventually they just toss them to the side of the road like they did with the aforementioned products or at least see them out to the end. Like they did with the X3. The final product worked the way it was supposed to and had no lingering issues that I'm aware of. Well enough of my ranting. I guess I just have to let off some steam every now and then.

Here's what you need to read to set it up. http://line6.com/media/support/toneporthelp/GearBox2_TonePortUX2_Footswitch_Control_Rev01.pdf I'm not sure whether that footswitch will work or not. The footswitch inputs are looking for a Tip/Sleeve connector connected to an On/Off switch. You have two footswitches conncted to a Tip/Ring/Sleeve connector. Having said that, I believe that is to a Peavy Rockmaster (I have one) and is worth trying. It will only switch one thing but I think there will be enough of a connection that one of the switches will work but only one. I'm pretty sure you won't get both fooswitches to work. Wait, I just had an idea. Try using an adaptor. Female 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve to two Male 1/4" Tip/Sleeve connectors. Something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hosa-1-4-TRS-Female-Dual-1-4-Mono-Male-Adapter-YP-136-Stereo-Breakout-Cable-/330896928860 I'll bet if you connbect both male TS connectors to both of the UX2's footswitch inputs, they will act like two seperate switches. Try it. I'm very sure you can't hurt anything.

It will accept and on/off footswitch like this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/live-wire-lws21-universal-latching-footswitch And/or an expression pedal like this https://www.globalfulfillment.net/gfsnet/line6/10Expand.aspx?ProductCode=99-040-0201 I believe it needs to be a 10K ohm expression pedal if you don't choose Line 6. You'll need this too http://line6.com/media/support/toneporthelp/GearBox2_TonePortUX2_Footswitch_Control_Rev01.pdf

In regard to SG's, I find the LP junior's body more in line with the SG than a regular Les Paul. Have you tried that?

OK it didn't take the last post. Here it is. Vetta II Post FX Routing.doc

This is a document I worked awhile on but never quite finished. Though I never completed it I thought it was a shame to put all that work into it and not put it out there. It has to do with how th post FX aren't exactly parallel and why and what the signal path actually is depending on what you do. It was pretty much done but needed a major editing job since it is a bit wordy. You'll see what I mean. Stick with it, it should answer any questions you may have had about the post FX routings.
