Gentlemen, I am so happy to report that the Variax worked flawlessly tonight. I am anxious to see if it works tomorrow night, as well before I get too pleased.. If all is good then only thing I can put the battery failures down to was the heat, which was near 40dgrees on Thursday.. Anyway, if all goes well tomorrow, I will be very relieved. I will report again. But this has given me a wake up call to get a spare Variax... Again, thank you all for your thoughtful replies.

Both batteries are 0009.. I set up in the afternoon and put a battery in the guitar. I am back now and it's about 8 hours later and the battery is still full.. It's looking positive.. I will report after my show tonight. Glad you guys are here

My roadie did suggest that it might be heat related, as it is extremely hot here in Greece at the moment.. I will test tomorrow, my next gig, to see what transpires and report... Btw, total bad move discontinuing the Variax..

I don't have the batteries to hand, but it was working great last night and today it's giving me palpitations. Could it really be the batteries? Also, the map you linked isn't showing any repair centres near Greece...

Hi, I have a JTV59. It was working perfectly yesterday, however today not so good. I use two batteries for my live show. One charges while I uses the other. Today, both batteries would only stay charged inside the guitar for almost exactly the same time, about 20 minutes. They are both charged fully according to the charger and the battery gauge on the guitar shows them to be full, as well. However, they go from full to zero in 20 mins. I believe the problem is the guitar, as I cannot believe both batteries are kaput. Can anyone help?

Gentleman, unbelievably helpful... Radatats, you make an excellent point in going without the DT25.. It is heavy.. There's the other thing of the wife seeing it sitting around, not being used and me getting asked the inevitable, "What the hell did you buy it for?" that wives seem to ask with regard to music gear... I am taking your suggestion onboard... ColonelForbin, you mention the L2T's and I thought about them, but was told that for my sound the bass speaker would probably be needed, however, if I went with the L3T's the extra 10's would compensate.. Am I making sense... In any case it seems that --however sad-- that all the Line 6 items cannot be linked together, as I had hoped.. I'm still sold on the StageSource set up, however.. Thanks again to you all..

Apologies all around if this has been covered, but I have a question regarding L6 linkage.. I bought the guitar dream rig of DT25, HD500, and JTV59 just before I took seriously the prospect of buying another PA that did not have NEXO on the badge.. Anyway, I am really sold on the Stagescape/StageSource set up... I am going to purchase the Stagescape mixer and 2 L3M's this summer... I am a solo artist who plays outside venues (Large Hotels).. I use backing tracks that I create and it sounds like a proper band.. I currently use a NEXO PS10 PA, which sounds great all the time and I am playing my guitar through the computer via Logic 9... I have wanted to put the DT and the HD500 into the show and have even midi'ed guitar changes via Logic on some songs, but the rig is in the basement as I don't have the control I need for the volume and settings that my guitar through Logic affords me... It's a trade off, as the sounds via Logic a "good enough" so to speak, I am sick because the sounds are so much better through the DT25/HD.... Plus there's the thing of lugging the amp around with an already crowded wire crazy set up and gear trolley.. I guess I'm being lazy, but that's another story.. I am in the process of building a studio in my Garage and I want to retire the NEXO system to be my studio rig as I am getting a bit tired of the wires etc, which is why I am going with the LINE6 solution... My question is will I derive any benefit from Linking All of my Line 6 stuff via L6 link with special interest given to the DT25/HD500 (Will I be able to control the amp volume from the Board rather than turning around etc? ( Yes, I use a volume pedal, but it's not an ideal solution for me) Further, will the amp be redundant through the STAGESOURCE set up? Anyway, what it boils down to is what are the benefits, if any of having everything in my arsenal being LINE6.. Thanks for listening and sorry for the long post...
