Thanks for the suggestion! I had already set MIDI PC Tx to off in global settings. However, I had set the global base channel to match the amp. I changed the base channel to something other than what the JP2C was receiving and that fixed the problem for me! I don’t think I should have to do that after following your suggestion of turning MIDI PC Tx to off. Maybe that is a bug or I just don’t understand how it’s supposed to work. Anyways, for me the issue is solved. Thanks for the help.

Hey, I’m running my HX FX 4CM and using midi with the JP2C. Seems to work well, except for one obnoxious issue. When changing presets, the JP2C changes channels. Presets 1 and 2 seem to default to ch 1, preset 3 defaults to ch 2, and preset 4 defaults to ch 3. So I’ve placed instant commands on each preset so it will switch to a particular channel. The issue is If I want all 4 presets to stay on a certain channel eg ch1. If I select preset 3 or 4, the JP2C will briefly select channel 2 or 3 before going to channel 1. This results in obnoxious preset changes with the JP2C jumping channels. Is there something I’m doing wrong or any suggestions? I’ve tried PC and CC. Yes, snapshots work correctly and there is no channel jumping so that’s all well and good. It’s just obnoxious to me that when I’m changing presets to get to my snapshots I get this channel jumping. This also limits the usefullness of presets for me. I’m assuming this has to do with the delay in changing presets with the HX FX dumping and reloading DSP, but maybe there is a fix? Anyway to at least have it always jump to ch 1?

I can confirm the HX FX is able to switch between all 3 channels of the Mark V properly. However. I was running this setup in 4CM and I had such a bad hum/groundloop when using the trs to ts cable that it made the channel switching function completely unusable. After reading other forums it appears this is a common issue with the Mark V and other amps. There are a couple work arounds, but they are not worth it to me. The representative I spoke to from Line 6 aknowleged there is a compatibility issue, but currently there is no fix as of yet unfortunately. The unit does work great in 4CM with the Mark V. I have been planning to switch to the Mesa JP2C and just ordered one. Hopefully the midi channel switching will work better or sadly the HX FX will get returned.
