sono tre giorni che provo a scaricare tutto il pacchetto per la variax standard e non riesco a completare.(line6 Monkey 1.76 oppure 1.77)

qualcuno può spiegare perchè lo rendono così complicato?

neanche se dovessimo accedere a delle informazioni bancarie o del governo.

 

How are you connected to the Variax Standard? It works best if you use the Line 6 interface supplied with the guitar,

Hello, I'm attempting to make the best pickup height adjustments on my JTV-69s with stock pickups as I find them to be reasonably good-sounding as is. I'm aware that height differences are often simply a matter of personal preference, but I want to avoid the risk of impacting the Piezo pickups sensitivity if the pickups are set poorly.

Accordingly, can anyone tell me something about the stock 69s pickups, such as:

• are the magnets AlNiCo (II, V, or other?) or Ceramic?
• what is the average output impedance (I believe they may be in the 6.5k range).
• any ideal height measurement found to be ideal.
• anything else that might be useful to know.

With kind thanks in advance for your reply.

I've swapped out some of my pickups in my JTV-69s

According  to Sweetwater's specs on them, they are Alnico, not sure II, IV, V.

Bridge pickup impedance is 7.18k, Middle is 6.29K, and Neck is 6.16K 

Before I swapped out I measured the heights neck pickup: Low E side-.1885" High E-.2330", Middle: Low E-.2100" High E-.2405", Bridge Low E-.2025" High E-.3195"

Hope this helps you.

Where can i find DTedit? I need to know what firmware my DT25 is running on. It's now working with the new Helix 2.80 or 2.81 updates and the Monkey is not recognizing the DT25.

DT Edit is pinned on the top of this forum. If Monkey is not recognizing the DT25 it's possible using DT Edit might show the same results not seeing the DT25

Bonjour

je voudrai branche une pedale wah  externe et un loopper jamman exterrne sur mon pod hd500x et pourvoir les placer ou je veux dans ma chaine d’effet 

es ce possible? Quel sont dans. Ce ca s les connectiques a utiliser?

 

merci d’avance

You would have to use the effects loop of the pod 500x, you can then put the effects loop anywhere in your effect change.

I just bought a POD HD PRO X rack system with a FBV3 foot controller.   How do I change the pedal from volume to wah? 

You have to push down on the toe of the expression pedal to switch from Volume to wah or back to volume( or what ever you've selected the exp pedal to control)

also note you'd have to have a wah in your list of effects for this to work.

POH HD Model Gallery  https://line6.com/data/6/0a06434c087052430f5d6523b/application/pdf/POD HD Series Model Gallery - English ( Rev E ).pdf

In that model gallery it says:

 

However, in HD500X having only 5 bands, and highest is 2.2kHz. Am I missing something how to use it, or is it really that way?

Kind of lame, but yes it's limited to only 5 band. Some would say it's all you really need for the frequency range of a guitar sound, but to fully shape it EQ wise with one instance, block, it seems limited. Guess it was all they could squeeze into the programming back then.

My JTV-59 won't turn on. Old user of the product. Doubt if the battery is also not connected to the workbench? I'm very sad and I don't know what to do.

 

I checked with the multimeter and the battery and charger are working. Normal charge. Why doesn't she turn on the selector light? Very sad. She has no single, flawless scratch. I treat it as a precious and delicate crystal.

You should start a new topic as this one is dealing with pickups and not dead guitars. Better chance of people seeing your questions/issue. 

Jd

@srl01 I think @cruisinon2 might be complicating this more than I thought your original post was, or maybe I'm not understanding things. 

If you want to have the JTV/Standard variax as a acoustic guitar(modelled) on one path and on the other path the JTV/Standard pickups going into an amp model that is possible on a POD HD500(x) or Helix( I don't have one of those but it's more powerful routing wise than the HD500 so I'm sure it's possible on it).

You would have to have both tuned the same as in no funky DADGAD tunings on the acoustic as this wouldn't sound right. 

If you want to have a Les Paul on one path and a Fender Strat on the other, then cruision2's comment is correct that this can't be done. It would always have to be Magnetic pickups on one path and the Variax modelled guitar of choice on the other. 

Hope this makes sense. Any questions, let me know. 

Jd

Either the Helix family or POD HD 500 with either a JTV or Standard can do what you need, the caveat to this is you'd have to use the VDI cable.

You can say that, but I got an email from L6 saying.... I don't remember what it said. 

But, to paraphrase, it said don't do it. 

 

Interesting. So why would it state on the download page it's supported and I have both running fine on my MacBook with OS X.

I want to upgrade Mac OS.  It is 64 bit only.  I see that two Line 6 programs will not work.  

 

Line 6 monkey

 

and

 

Line 6 license manager

 

How can I upgrade these so they will work?

I don't think should be an issue as when I looked up these 2 for download is just states on the right what versions of OS X the current version is supported. If you've tried it and it's not working then give us some more details to try to help you out.

Hi, 

In the sound setting (in Win10) there is no 48hz - 24 bits option anymore...only 16 bits 44 - 48hz & 44hz-24 bits ... i reinstalled the last drivers for the HD500X but it's still the same options !

Why ? ,, the HD500X is yet a 24 bits - 96 hz interface ?! ... 

The sound of my recording audios have change (in a  bad way)... this is why i looked all the setting of the HD500X ! ... My Cubase 10 setup is at 48HZ-24 bits as always ! 
I changed the USB cable without succes + the drivers !
Is this a dream or there is never had a 48hz-24bits as option in the Windows sound settting ?
Thanks

You issue may be related to what driver you are using. Got this info from the manual.

I just bought a DigiTech Freq-Out pedal but can't figure out how to connect it to my dream rig.  I'm using the VDI cable from the Variax to the POD and POD to the DT25.  And I'm already using the effects send on the POD to a DI box to a powered frfr speaker for the acoustic models.  How do I hook-up my DigiTech pedal?

Welcome. Since you are using the effects send already and are also using the VDI cable, I don't see any other way of connecting your DigiTech pedal. I know this will sound like I'm plugging Line 6, but you might consider upgrading to a Helix as it has multiple effects sends/returns. Then you'd be able to connect your Free-Out pedal.

Plus, it both mystifies and slightly aggravates me that Warmoth will drill holes for free, but charges an extra $15 to not drill them. I wouldn't expect a discount or anything... but an upcharge for doing less work just smells funny, lol. ;)

I've wondered that myself, it's less work for them. But guess we have to live with it.

This ship sailed long ago. It's a business decision, nothing more. There are two hurdles:

 

1) Only a small percentage of guitar players actually get on stage on front of an audience, thus creating the need for a wireless, and

 

2) Variax is hardly a household name.

 

Until a significant percentage of the guitar playing world has one sitting next to their Strat and Tele, there simply won't be enough of a demand for a wireless for them to bother with the expense of developing one and bringing it to market... that might change one day, but till then it's a waste of resources.

Agreed. Here is another product you'd think would be out by now. A wireless guitar pack with in ear monitors for those playing the same guitar all the time.

Assuming you are referring to Helix, controllable input impedance is only available on the 1/4" guitar input, it has no effect on VDI input.

That was my point, the VDI is a set value and the Guitar Z input is changeable so unless we know what the default # of the VDI impedance one can't make a proper comparison of both ways of connecting the guitar. 

Jd

It may also depend on what settings you have for the Guitar In-Z input impedance.

where can we find the custom tone for boston pitch. 

line6.com/customtone/

then search POD HD 500x for either Boston or Tom Scholz

Jd

Frac82,

"dual mono" as it would be summed to mono as the DT25 is a mono amp. 

Jd

Dave, the Lt2 would be last in the connections using L6 Link. 

as per 2-18 of the POD HD 500x manual:

I've been using this cable for a while. It feels/acts like a regular guitar cable. Not to expensive either.

someone can tell me if changing paramentros IN-Z guitar in the pod, for those who have Variax, change anything? here seems to not change anything . people say that my sound (Variax / pod hd / mixer) is a bit sharp(treble), and I was wondering if changing this changes anything

 

 

thanks

How hard could it be for them to write it into a patch / update? and make the Helix workable with these monster amps?  

That is what I figured, and yes extremely short sighted.  Old school guitarists want to hear / see a decent valve rig on stage.  Whether it is purely a placebo or what I am notes debatable, but when I spent the money buying all this stuff, and the previous models were totally integrated, I think dumping the idea is retarded at best.  So basically I have the choices of going back to a HD rig, or getting rid of the DT..., and after they spent so much time and money convincing us how this Dream rig concept was really the best of both worlds.   The amp itself is fantastic, and I guess I could just try to connect one of my midi controllers to it and use it that way, but then I lose all the Helix gizmos.   They definitely dropped the ball on this one, because having all the Helix sounds available through the DT would pretty well blow any other rig out of the water I think.  They obviously think we all have money to burn,  "Oh they can afford to throw these expensive toys in the back room, and buy the latest FRFR system, to accommodate our newest (probably also short sighted) direction."  We use valve amps for a very good reason, we crave that warmth and the feeling we get when the air is thumping out at us.  Sure we might be able to get a similar experience with a FRFR system, but you can't gig with just an FRFR, you need the Helix... to go with it, where as I can walk out the door with just a two channel amp and not be worried about the lack of fx.

With the new v2.8 firmware update they've added L6 connectivity and control. I'm still trying to find out to what extent that is without having to go out and get a Helix. Don't want to make the purchase if it's not going to work like it does with the POD HD 500x. Check out the DT amps part of the forum as they have a few post on it there.
