Not to rain on anyones parade but, typically it doesn't end well for the company being purchased. Every time you read about an acquisition like this they say "operations continuing as before and its management team remaining in place", 6 months out this is seldom the case. Curb your enthusiasm until you see how it shakes out. Something like this is never about improving the quality of the product, it's purely money. I've used Line6 products for quite awhile and it sure would be a shame to see the ship go down. I'm trying to think of a Yamaha guitar product I've been jazzed about and I'm having a hard time coming up with a single one. Anyone?

I posted earlier I couldn't get hd workbench to recognize my guitar. Not sure what I did differently but it finally connected. I was using the usb interface instead of the hd500

I updated to the jvt59 firmware, updated the audio/midi driver, updated monkey, installed hd workbench. Everything went swimmingly EXCEPT the HD Workbench cannot find the Variax. I've tried connecting using the HD500 and the interface that came with the Variax. Still didn't work. I've rebooted, reinstalled HD Workbench..nothing. The Old Workbench connects just fine and recognizes the guitar. I know the firmware installed because the difference in the models is noticable. I'm running a Macbook Pro 2.2GHZ I7 16GB Ram, Mountain Lion, I do have Logic X installed and use a Focusrite interface, however that shouldn't have anything to do with it. Any ideas? I'm out of them.
