Thanks. I have the interface for workbench connectivity, have yet to use that however. As you can see I am still figuring out the basics. My understanding is that is how one develops custom sounds and tunings, correct?

Hey thanks all for the responses. I am not the original owner, to answer one of your comments. I got it from a music store in NY, they had never sold it but it had definitely been played. It's definitely an 89F, to answer another comment above. Triryche, I've read that section of the manual a few times and like you I think the answer is *mostly* there. Let me ask you Variax experts a basic question....Ignoring alt tunings for a moment...If I simply want to select, say, one of the Chime models, and I'm in standard mag pickup mode (no models or alt tunings), I need to (a) quickly depress the guitar selector knob, then (b) rotate the knob to the desired model, and © use the 5 way selector to potentially select from choices within that model. Yes? I think that's correct, and I wish the manual would be as clear as that.

I am a new owner of a JTV 89F. I am in two bands and bought it mainly for the ease of handling tunes within a set list that require alternate tunings but to some degree the modeled guitars also. I have found the support/user literature to be lacking, in particular the "basics" of how to engage the model options for tunings and guitar. My biggest question is, why do I sometimes get blue light vs. white light on the knobs, and why do they sometimes flash? It almost definitely means SOMETHING, but what?
