Since I'm about to embark on a transplant project, would you please share with me your warnings of what not to do? :) I understand that the models won't sound like L6 intended them.

From Ben Adrian over on TGP:

Something's definitely not right there. Do you mind posting pics of the signal routing and clips of the recordings?

I haven't tried since the update, but even pre-2.0 the Pitch Wham effect was *significantly* more warbly if I set both heel and toe at -1 than if I simply set heel at -1 and toe at 0 and made sure the patch was set to default at full heel.

Here's an Editor bug I ran into last night: I took an existing preset X and edited it and saved it as a new preset Y. I then dragged and dropped preset Y in between presets C and D, but that resulted in preset X appearing both there and in its original location and preset Y disappearing completely. I turned the Helix off and on again, and then saw that the new preset X in between presets C and D had some of the edits that I had made in preset Y. FWIW, I also had Garageband open and was making all of my preset edits on the Helix itself. I only used the Editor for preset ordering.

Not I.

Here's the direct link to the Ideascale page for others who are interested in this feature: http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/A-user-defined-scale-to-program-all-12-notes-for-Thin-Lizzy/780865-23508

Elantric over on vguitarforums hipped me to the fact that these are the same thread as the Fender import screws. So I have one of those installed as a temporary fix while I await the arrival of a permanent replacement. Here are the specs: thread: M3 x 0.5 length: 6mm point: cone I just ordered a pack of 5 from a UK seller on eBay. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Did anyone find out what type of set screw is used for the JTV-69S saddles and where to order it? One of mine popped out and I have to replace it by this Saturday. I've already started a support ticket with Line 6 but need to find a solution ASAP. If you have one you can spare, I'll pay you for your trouble and send you the one I get from Line 6.

I figured out a workaround:

Here's how the JTV-69S looks under the hood:

I raised the height of my low E string saddle last night, and it seems to have helped a lot.

I've been pretty happy with my JTV-69S, posted a few demos of it on soundcloud, and even did a recent gig with it. But at one point last night I brushed the side of my palm over the 6th string saddle and heard that surprisingly loud high-pitched ringing. Now I can't unhear it as I'm playing. My guitar has probably been susceptible to this from the beginning and I just never noticed it. I'm hoping that one of the damping tricks (felt, tubing, teflon tape) will help. I was using a low-gain Hiwatt profile in my Kemper and the Duojet model with Filtertrons in my JTV, if that makes any difference.

Oh well, that's unfortunate. Last night in rehearsal I tried to use the virtual capo function to achieve this tuning, but it sounded miserable: Time for an Ideascale suggestion, I guess.

Is it possible to change the modeled string gauges within Workbench? For example, can I edit a model so that all 6 strings are .09 gauge?

Thanks, ur2funky!

But Strats don't have that tuning selector on the bass side of the fretboard.

Thanks, I'm particularly interested in how big the tuning selector cavity is.

I'm curious how it's routed underneath the guard.
