Did the reflash on the Variax (JTV firmware re-install via Line6 Monkey), and it worked! Upgraded from version 1.7x to 2.x. Thanks for the suggestion! It was fairly tricky to save and reload my presets, but I eventually got that to work, too. Now ALL of the features between Variax and Firehawk are working - and I didn't have to reflash or update the Firehawk at all. BTW, the gig Friday night went great. I went straight from the Firehawk into the PA, but also used my amp just for monitoring. Sounded awesome. Thanks again! It's a new era now... Next week's gig should be even better!

Thanks for the reply. Was hoping I wouldn't have to do that, but... I have a gig this weekend (and a lot going on otherwise), so I'm a bit nervous. Will try before next weekend's gig and let you know how it went.

Thanks, but I already mentioned trying that in both of my posts above.

Tried that, and all other alt tuning knob selector positions. Tried iPhone AND iPad (all settings point to "Firehawk" global control). Tried 2 different Variax (VDI) cables. Same results no matter what. Guitar models are changing fine with Firehawk control, just not tunings. String-specific "sliders" in app have no effect, either. BTW I have a JTV-59. Tried it with and without the battery installed. No difference. Tuner works fine (shows up on iPad and everything.) Then I tried connecting both 1/4" AND the VDI cable simultaneously, still nothing. (One cool thing I did notice here, though - you can connect 2 different instruments at the same time! One via VDI and one via 1/4" at the GUITAR INPUT jack - both are always on!) Have also tried all the 1/4" and XLR outputs in both AMP OUT and LINE OUT modes. Thanks

I'm having success with the Firehawk changing my Variax models, but I can't get the Firehawk to change the tunings at all. I see the different tuning on my iPad, and I have all the "Controlled By" settings set to "Firehawk." I know it's working to switch guitar models as I change Firehawk presets, but it's not working for the tunings. Variax tuning selector is set to "model." Any ideas?
