Sorry, I must have quoted the wrong post. I meant to respond to the question somehone had as to what the acoustic amp was. Sorry for the confusion, and sorry you are having problems getting it to work. Hope it gets straightened out for you soon.

It is a model of an amplifier used for acoustic guitars that have pick-ups. No noticeable break-up even with the drive set to 100, four EQ knobs, amp level, speaker, etc. So no, not an acoustic guitar SIM or model but an amp model.

Just ran through the new Variax model specific presets that came with 2.6. There are some really useful tones in there. Way better than some of the rediculous presets that originally came with the Pod. I will actually use many if these. Thanks!

I'm fairly new to the Line 6 community. Picked up a JTV69s last April and just recently bought a 500x to go with it. I had been using a Boss GT-8 for about 8 years prior. I really like the Pod HD! It is much easier to program than the Boss. Now I just loaded the new flash and the new models tonight. Everything went smoothly with no trouble at all. I haven't messed around too much with the new amps yet, but I am happy to have.a Jazz Chorus model again. I also like the acoustic amp. It is a bit easier to get a good sound than tweaking preamps and eq. That Orange and the Fender Champ are pretty sweet, and also the new Vox models. Fun stuff.

I just recently bought a JTV-69S on Ebay. It is a 2013 model. The action was a bit high and when I checked the neck it looked like there was too much relief (bow). So I figured I would tighten the truss rod a bit to straighten it out. Now I'm no luthier but I have a fair amount of experience setting up my own guitars, making some minor adjustment and such. So I figured I'd start with a 1/4 turn and see what the result was. Well, the result was that by the time I reached the end of the quarter turn there was virtually no resistance at all on the allen wrench. When I turn in the opposite direction I do get resistance, but it also seems like the bow may become more pronounced. But I haven't tried going too far in that direction. I've tapped on the neck and I don't believe the truss rod is loose or broken, but this is the first time I've ever experienced sort of a backwards response. To be clear, when looking from the headstock toward the bridge I have assumed that a clockwise turn would tighten the truss rod and straighten the neck (reduce the bow), while a counterclockwise would loosen the rod and allow more bow. I don't want to damage the neck/truss rod, but I would like to straighten the neck more. Yet, if I continue to turn in the clockwise direction it feels like the rod is just freely turning and nothing will happen. I realize the best advice will be to take it to a pro, and I may end up doing that, but this has me puzzled. If I'm doing something wrong I'd like to know. I'm assuming the thread is not reversed. Anyway, thanks in advance for your input.
