Hey psarkissian, I already did that 2 times. I first went to 3.10, then to 3.05, and then back to 3.10. It was a success every time, but the sound is broken nonetheless unfortunately. Any other ideas? I cannot see anything that would solve the problem except finding the original/old firmware, or tuning up the strings for 2-3 steps (which is a non-option).

Hi man, and thanks for your reply. Yes, I was talking about the Variax 700 electric, but somehow missed to mention it explicitly. The old/original firmware version was 1.31, the new ones are the ones you mentioned: 3.05 and 3.10 which both have the identical problem. The thing is that the update process itself went well—on a MacOS through Pod HD. It was a 'success' as a process, but definitely not as a result. Just for notice, I am using a significantly-dropped tuning from A: a e a d e a. But it was the same tuning before the update as well, and there was no muffling or distortion whatsoever. Now all 12-string patches are broken, regardless if I choose one from the factory ones or make one myself from scratch. I think the chime sounds are also broken a bit. Can anyone help with the original firmware version please?! I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't know what possessed me to update my Variax 700, but all the acoustic and 12-string sounds are now broken and distorted beyond repair. I tried to find the old version of the firmware, but it's nowhere to be found. Why is this the case?! I mean, it's not like they take thousands of gigabytes of memory (more like few hundred kilobytes really). I would appreciate your help--both from Line6 and from other users. Could you please let me know where can I find the factory version (and other versions) of Variax 700 guitar firmware, or if someone has not updated their guitar, can you please upload the file somewhere? I would really appreciate it. Please help, I have to record and now my guitar is broken! Regards
