BTW thanks jakeman for your post of 16 March Peter

Just an update for the record, for the benefit of anyone who has the same problem and searches this forum. Line 6 recommended I update the flash memory on the guitar. I thought I'd done that when I first fired up Line 6 Monkey. I looked again and where I'd gone wrong was that I hadn't appreciated that Monkey was updating the HD500X and not the guitar, and that I had to "Change devices" and update the guitar in a separate operation. That has fixed the problem - now all working as I expect it to according to the manual. Peter

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will try again a bit later today. What's weird is that no matter what I do (even with the JTV attached with a DTI cable - I'm not using a regular guitar cable so I guess the DTI cable I am using is ok as everything else else works) I can't get the 8/10 settings page to show tuning. It just says N/a and when I turn knob 1 (which is the only knob indicated) nothing happens. I can see tuning in the Mixer section of HD Edit and can switch to custom and save tuning from there, but the position of the knobs on the JTV still seems to override everything. Does anyone know how to make 8/10 tuning say N/a? If I knew that I could probably not do that thing and get tuning control in the HD500x. I don't know whether the Variax Control knob 1 in 7/10 on the HD500x has anything to do with this - it has choices Preset and Global - I don't really understand the difference between the two, though whichever of those two settings I use it doesn't seem to help with the tuning problem.

Hi I have an HD500x - brand new - trying to get it to save tunings to a preset and override the tunings knob on the JTV, but whatever I try I cannot get the preset to override the knob on the guitar. The only way I can get the right tuning (and guitar model) to sound is to dial it up on the JTV alt tunings (and guitar model) knob(s). What I want is to be able to select a preset with a footswitch and have the tuning (and model) change without having to change the knob(s) on the JTV guitar. if someone could give me a step by step guide as to what settings to make in HD Edit / on the guitar / on the HD500x, i.e. an idiot's guide, I would be grateful. I have spent hours looking a manuals and on forums and have not been able to make changing tuning (or model) by footswitch happen. Peter
