That's really good to hear overdub! My 600 have mostly just been sitting here the last few years. But I had a need to record a Gretsch model with drop D tuning in some parts of the song. So I thought I'd give it a go and see if I could get Workbench up and running again. Now I'm so happy that I did cause my 600 got a revival. I realized how much I like this guitar for its build. It is a really good guitar to play. And the drop D... well, the flick of the switch on those parts makes it so easy now that I customize it once again. Now I'm thinking about putting in some Tonerider singlecoils in it to get some good Strat sound. Cause I don't think Line 6 nailed that model very well...

Here's how I got it to work with my Variax 600 and X3 Live on Windows 10. I downloaded everything including Java, but as soon as I started Variax Workbench it said that it required JRE 1.6.0, 32-bit in order to work. I installed different versions of Java but nothing worked. The breaking point came when I finally realized that it said 32-bit... So... during the install of Workbench you might be given the option to download the latest version of JRE. You need to SKIP THIS. This is where I got stuck. You will be sent to a download link that installs the latest version of your operating system. If you, like me, have a 64-bit system, that is what will be installed. But Variax Workbench requires 32-bit and will not work with 64-bit. NOTE: Variax Workbench and Workbench HD is not the same thing. Download Line 6 Monkey on https://line6.com/software/. It's available for Win 10. Download Variax Workbench from the same place. NOTE: You need to choose Win 7 or 8 to find this download. Download JRE 1.6.0 32-bit (Java Runtime Editor). https://www.filehorse.com/download-java-runtime-32/6037/ Install all mentioned software. I don't know if order matters but I installed JRE last. Run Monkey, log in and see if you need any updates. Run Workbench and enjoy. Hope this helped!
