Can we expect some videos featuring the JTV soon? Always enjoyed you Pod ones. Cheers, jayson

Does Yamaha have forums equivalent to what Line 6 hosts? When I owned a 01x mixer, Yamaha did sponsor a Keyfax forum but once they discontinued the product the forum shut down shortly after without any notice as Yamaha pulled the funding. Left a bad taste in quite a few user's mouths. It would be nice to know what the plans are for this forum. Any experts have any inside info? Cheers, jayson

Let's hope Line 6 doesn't abandon the current Variax owners like Yamaha did with their mLan products. Cheers, jayson

Can't say that I'm happy about this based on my experience with what Yamaha did with the 01x and mLan. A lot of people invested in their systems and were abandoned by them so I'll be sitting on the side line for any new technology they come out with. Cheers, jayson

I think you have to register for their newsletter to see the blowout price. I got a 705 bass from them for $499 when they where discontinued so it's worth it to sign up. Cheers, jayson

JJRshop has a 50% off blowout sale on US JTV-69 right now. Cheers, jayson

Does your JTV function correctly with 1.9? If so, then just upgrade again to 2 but watch the lights on the dongle. If your JTV is not functional with 1.9, then try reflashing to 1.7 and if that gives you a working guitar then reflashing back up to 2. Again watch the Workbench USB dongle as I believe the timeout errors might be due to it either not working correctly or having a bad cable. Have you contacted Line 6 support? They should be able to assist you much better than this user forum in tracking down what your issue is. Cheers, jayson

I don't think you would have to go back to v1.7 but it might worth a try. During the upgrade watch the dongle to see if it the status lights flip from green to red. When I got the midi timeout error I noticed that the RJ-45 end flipped from green to red on its own. I reflashed to down to v1.9 and then back up to v2 and didn't experience any more time out errors during the reflashing. Cheers, jayson

Try rolling back to an earlier firmware and, if that takes, flash back up to v2. Cheers, jayson

So if I'm understanding this correctly, it seems that these ghost notes are only occurring if you change one of the preset tunings on the alt tuning wheel with the WB software? Anyone have any ghost note problems after saving an alternate tuned guitar to a position on the model dial? Cheers, jayson

I still don't think it's a memory issue. The JTV's have enough memory to load 12 banks with 5 patches each for a total of 60 distinct HD guitars. I think the problem with the old models are that it's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole; the structure of the new HD engine is too different to simply port over old models so Line 6 had to re-profile each guitar. That would also explain why the acoustics all had to change when they went to HD versions. To the OP I'd say, if you have the time, try out the new version. While there are a few issues I have experienced, overall I'm sticking with v2. Cheers, jayson

I don't think that's it. I think the reason the old models are not included is that they don't have access to the guitars anymore so couldn't re-model them with the new HD modeling technology in v2. Instead they found similar guitars and replaced them hoping users would find no difference or prefer them to the old models. Cheers, jayson

Your not alone. Cheers, jayson

For those of you having MIDI time out issues make sure your volume isn't at zero and that you have a charged battery. I got a time out error when attempting to upgrade through my HD500 but resolved it by turning up the volume, plugging in my battery and using the Workbench USB interface to upgrade. Not sure what change I did got it to work but it worked. Cheers, jayson

How much for 15 footer shipped to Canada? Cheers, jayson

That's a bit of a bold statement! Guess us regular peons just have to wait for Line 6 to get their dung together and release the upgrade! :-) Cheers, jayson

Thanks for the info Phil. Hate having to wait for this upgrade but would prefer it's bug free when released. Would have been nice if they kept us more informed especially after the original announcement way back when. Cheers, jayson

Bump. Anyone at Summer Namm get an update? Cheers, jayson

Also do you keep charged in the charger? I have kept mine in the JTV but use my HD500 to power it all the time as I thought that leaving it in the charger would eventually limit the batteries ability to hold a full charge. Cheers, jayson

As other's have said, it is possible but one thing to consider is that the tuner only functions with whatever is connect to input one. Cheers, jayson

Just make sure the second input is set to guitar in and you should be able to use both. The only thing you would lose would be that the tuner won't work on the non Variax guitar; it only works with the first input. Cheers, jayson
