I had mounted my Helix Floor to a flat board with the feet still on it using Dual Lock and it held great. Never had an accidental release. I got a roll of it from Amazon but this set would probably do the trick. I think I used 6 1.5-2 inch pads and it held great.

Wow! She's a beaut!!! -
Warmoth neck for JTV69
theKennyG replied to patgiff's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
I didn't plug anything, just drilled the new holes. Yes, the top holes (or the two at the very end of the neck) were fine. I had to drill the offset hole (obviously) and the other one. -

It's the stock tuners from the JTV. On the Warmoth necks its the Gotoh size. -

I also don't care for the blank headstocks. I had it custom made by some company in the UK (i forget the name of it...). You can specify what text you want and they print up the decals for you. You can choose from a few different styles as well. -
Ibanez neck on a JTV 69 HSS
theKennyG replied to roscoe5's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
One thing to be aware of is that the mounting holes do not all line up. I wound up needing to drill two of them on mine. Not a huge deal but good to be aware of before you order. -

I put a Warmoth neck on my JTV-69 as well (the standard thin with a CBS-era large strat headstock and a compound radius...). I just couldn't get used to the narrower nut width on the stock neck. The Warmoth neck is just phenomenal! -
Curious about this myself. I'm really hoping it works. I've love to get my OS current again.

This was great and I actually really enjoyed the science-y first part!! Thanks for putting this out there!!

Have you checked the intonation? I found that to be the biggest issue on both my 59 & 69. When I set the intonation, the warble almost* completely vanished. I say almost because, as it has been said, pitch shifting comes with some artifacts however, they've been hardly noticeable to me since setting the intonation correctly.

Alternate Tune sounds weird
theKennyG replied to leemh's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
The thing that I've found to make the biggest difference on both my JTVs (59 & 69) is proper intonation. I got both of them used and noticed a lot of warble I the alt tunings until I did a good setup and set the intonation correctly. After that, they have both been solid! -
Unless you want a shorter cable?

Don't break the tabs off. Get these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VM5H9YW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3RL5M00VAQCZL&coliid=I2XER4NCDZHNG9 One benefit of these is you can use the same cable for connecting to something like the Helix (which doesn't currently support Workbench) and to the USB interface for connecting to Workbench.

There are no "secens" on the Helix. It's a feature in the AxeFX units. Basically, each "scene" is just a collection of settings values for all of the blocks in a patch. Changing scenes just instantly changes all of the settings (including a blocks bypass state) in the patch. Since this doesn't actually change patches it allows for delays and verbs to spillover when you change scenes.
-
I think the 2101 is one of the only units that does it. I also believe that was the device sited in that convo I mentioned that uses a separate processor to handle the spill over.
-
Oh, for sure! I should have included that it's not likely we'll see spill-over between patches because it'd most likely require a hardware change to facilitate. I also agree that "scenes" functionality would probably cover this for most users. I'd LOVE to get that!!
-
I don't believe any others do. I recall a discussion about this from a while ago (on the gear page I think...) and it was mentioned that it almost requires a separate processor chip to handle the spill-over. I think where others MAY have the advantage is in patch change times but, I don't have any experience with Kemper/AxeFX so I don't really know for sure.

Digitech Drop. Done.

I, for one, would be just fine with a release with NO new stuff and just a fix for the tempo issue! :) Of course, new stuff would be awesome too! ;)

Cable choice
theKennyG replied to musicimpossible's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
One warning though. You'll need a charged battery to connect to the Variax Workbench. At the moment, Helix doesn't act as an interface for workbench.
