I owned Three Variaxes - the Original No Pickup Model (uses AA Bateries), a 59 (uses a Line6 camcorder Battery), and. JTV (Line6 Battery). I have about six of the Line6 batteries. I moved in 2020 and took me a while to unpack my studio, set everything up, and then go through the process of checking and updating all my gear (lots of guitars, Synths, amps, modelers). I finally got around to playing all my quirky guitars. First up, a Les Paul Robot Guitar - original one with the original Tronical Tuners. I dug up my Robot charger, hooked it up, and it seemed to charge the guitar. It did, but the next day, the guitar was dead. I then ordered replacement internal batteries and after numerous tries, it charged and works. Next up, I checked the Variaxes. The JTV still had the battery in and showed three lights. Between 2020 and now, I periodically charged all the Line6 batteries. I tried all the other batteries in the JTV and no lights on all the batteries. I bought three new Line6 batteries (notmdelivered yet, but I was slightly pissed that they appeared to,be charged but the guitars showed they were dead. I watched a few Youtube videos on tricking the batteries and computer chip to have sufficient voltage. I then bought a volt meter and touched all the + and - poles which showed that all the batteries had the correct voltage. I then updated Workbench HD but Workbench would not recognize the JTV using batteries. I then dug out the TSR Cable and PowerBox, and Workbench recognized the JTV, Central updated it, and I backed up all my patches. Now, the JTV works using batteries for playing purposes. I did the same with the 59 - updated it and saved patches. While the JTV operates on batteries, the 59 will only work using the powerbox and cable. Does anyone know if there is a battery in the 59 that needs replacing (like a coin cpu board battery or the reason why the 59 will not recognize the batteries? The original Variax still doesn't work after replacing the dead AAs. I'm going to see whether the powerbox works, but I have to dig out my old MBP2013 to use the 32 bit Workbench. Any advice would be appreciated.

Batteries for JTV
AdInfinitum replied to fairleas's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
I have a JTV-59 US and Korean and several Official L6 LiOn Batteries (two are relatively new rarely used batteries). All the batteries are fully charged and work in the USA but none work in the Korean. The Korean does work when using a TSR into the Line6 power supply box. Any ideas why or any potential fix? Is there a reset for the battery? -
Sonic Port VX USB port broken
AdInfinitum replied to mferrero's topic in Sonic Port devices / Mobile In
I have 2 Sonicport VXs that have the same issue with the USB to iPa/iPhine jack. Writing support. -
I'm only playing at home (pretty much every room in the house where I'm allowed) and once in a while forget to remove the transmitter. The G10 charges pretty fast, but it is nice to have a spare ready go. Glad Line6 sold an adapter/charging cable because that is a reasonable solution. I significantly prefer the G10 over my G30 which battery cover NEVER STAYED CLOSED. I had to wrap a rubber band around the battery case to get it to work.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just got my Line6 charging cable today. Luckily there was a workaround to charging 1, using the other.

Actually, i meant two G10 transmitters and one base station. I bought an extra transmitter so i can use one and charge the other, but if i have the extra charging in the base, then the one in my guitar doesn't work. If i pull out the backup and put it in the guitar, then that transmitter works, but start charging the first in the base station, the backup doesn't connect. How can i charge the backup while using the other transmitter and not have the base disconnect the one in my guitar? Or you can't have a transmitter charging and use a second transmitter at the same time? Any ideas? Is it merely setting both to the same channel? If so, how do you do that? AdInfinitum

Why do some third party patches have both a Cab and IR block??
AdInfinitum replied to AdInfinitum's topic in Helix Native
Thanks, sent Glenn an e-mail and will report back. -
I dowloaded some third party presets to load in the user slots. For example, i downloaded a Spirit of Radio patch (awesome patch although should use a Hiwatt). I changed the flanger to EHEM model (used live on tour, but not in the studio of TSOR (in fact, when i asked Terry Brown what he used a Loft Flanger. Any how, the save function allows one to save to library, save to disk. I save the patch to disk and library and then i try copying and pasting in the user list to a free spot, the patch shows up in the new slot, but it is the original unedited patch. A little help here!

I have an Amplifi 75 with 24 banks of custom presets. Is there a way to backup both the Amplifi and Spider V and then move the Amplifi presets into thr Spider V? Or, do i havento into "My Tones" and import 1 at a time?
-
Yes. Also rebooted after several tries of reinstalling my patches.

There is defintely something amiss with backing up User patches. I backed up my User1 setlist and individual patches, loaded new firmware, did reset. Factory patches updated, but whn i tried to import setlist, it did upload them, but borked Factory 2 Presets. Only half loaded and they seemed to be the old set. Tried saving that user setlist and rest, same thing. Any solutions. Luckily i only had about 8 original patches, so not a huge loss.

First, I'd just like to thank Line 6 for borking Mobile Pod, so that I had to delete it from my iPad and iPhone, which resulted in deleting all my user presets. Second, I would appreciate getting step by step instruction on reloading my presets them because, frankly, your presets suck balls. Mi tried via iTunes and while it supposedly loads the priests, they don't show up in Mobile Pod. Ain't that nice.

I'm sorry to hear about your issues. I had/have the same issue . . . AGAIN WITH MY Variax. Battery charged, authentic battery, and also new authentic battery. Plug it in, green lights. Play a little, slam the guitar select switch to get it to actually engage, play a strat in position 4, then guitar goes silent except on the mags, which still work. Re--charge the battery. nothing. Leave bateery in overnight, green lights, it works, for a little bit. Same problem. Nothing except mag pickups. Leave it in again, now it works. Line6 - how about letting us know what the issue is.
