I have this setup for home/practice use. Works great!! Alt Tunings can be set in the workbench software and assigned to your custom bank on the variax, but I haven't had much luck getting it to switch to the custom patches on the HD500. Maybe I'm just not doing it right. Anyway, you can always switch to the custom patch on the fly, on the variax if the alt tuning is needed. Saving my pennies for the JTV59P, which I plan to buy around tax time, and an Lt2 or Lt3. Haven't made my mind up on that yet.
