    Sounds like you have a bad solder joint in there. I would send it to Line6 for repair.
  2. Charlie_Watt
    Yes - it is surprisingly quick. Only a few seconds. The HD500X Edit takes much longer - but it is loading much more stuff.
  3. Charlie_Watt
    Reason I say that is that I believe that the Mags are directly switched by the 5 way switch on my 69S.
  4. Charlie_Watt
    My guess is that it blends the pickups based on the selector switch position so you might have to move your models around to get the blending you like.

    The guitar comes set up for 10's and that is what I prefer. I think I get less string Squeak with the Elixir strings and they do last longer but I like the D'addario's as well. I have them on my JTV 69S.

    I've been playing with it a couple evenings now with no issues. The updates went without a hitch for me. I updated my JTV on my Windows 7 PC but I use WB and Edit on my very old Laptop with XP. The HD500x connectivity makes WB useful. I have not tried it but I assume that we can now update our JTV FW with the Pod too instead of having to dig out the Dongle.

    Sounds like either a bridge or Piezo problem. I would replace the piezo on that string.

    Win7 does have an XP compatibility mode. It's most likely Java that is causing the problems.
  9. Charlie_Watt
    Battery is not used or even necessary when using the JTV with a pod through the VDI cable. Lithium batteries often require a separate charger. Proper charging is critical.

    Switching is quieter for sure. Not sure about quicker but they seem quick to me when turning the knob or moving the 5 way. Having WB work with my HD500x is a great improvement. I wasn't ever using WB because it was a PIA to use the separate interface. Now I can use Edit and WB while playing through my HD500x!

    And your volume knob turned up. Sounds like he might be missing the 1/4 inch jack.

    Vista is too old to support. Microsoft doesn't support it either.

    Lots of folks have swapped pickups. There are wiring diagrams posted in this forum. Search for them. It's not hard to do if you know how to solder to the board where the pickups connect.
  14. Charlie_Watt
    I have not tried this and I don't own an SG to copy but I would Start with Lester and try changing the pickups to match your SG.
  15. Charlie_Watt
    Go back to your old FW and SW and see if they go away.
  16. Charlie_Watt
    I doubt that it's a FW problem since not everyone is complaining about it. These are obsolete products so Line6 is unlikely to release any changes to them.

    I used the USB dongle to update the JTV because I did not know if it would work through my Pod. I copied the flash file to my PC before doing the update and I had Monkey update from the file. That takes the internet out of the update picture. It worked fine first time. WB works great with my HD500x connected to my Dell Laptop running XP. It is very responsive even though my Laptop is a dog. I had Edit running same time and everything was playing nicely together just as it should!

    I agree that rig and playing style make a huge difference but I have found many tones from Custom Tone that were a good starting point and sound far better than the presets from the factory. I happen to like and use clean tones - and tones geared toward the JTV acoustic models. I have found several good ones.
  19. Charlie_Watt
    Many of us like the newer FW. I also like the features that came with it - WB HD. If you don't like the changes then stick with what you did like. There is absolutely no problem with sticking with older FW. You can change forward and back whenever you like. Line 6 tries to make everyone happy but that's not reality when it comes to personal likes / dislikes of the changes to the models.
  20. Charlie_Watt
    The newer trem doesn't need that clip.
  21. Charlie_Watt
    It is really unfortunate that Line6 did not do a better job with the factory presets. Most are not at all useful. I recommend pulling some of the Custom Tone ones to start with until you get comfortable making your own. That's how I started and I found a few that I like. I now feel that I understand the methods of making my own tones.
  22. Charlie_Watt
    Strat issues are fixed! And the biggie is that you can now use WB with Pods including the HD500x which did not work even with old WB.
  23. Charlie_Watt
    What a nice surprise! I could not wait to see what kind of issues others had. I downloaded new workbench and new flash memory files and both upgrades went perfectly. It is so nice to be able to use WB and Edit at the same time while connected to my HD500x. The models sound fine and I do not notice any problem with string volumes - but I didn't with 2.0 either. I'm a happy camper. Thanks Line6!
  24. Charlie_Watt
    It's not an issue - just an unfortunate fact of life.
  25. Charlie_Watt
    Made in China is my bet.
