Did you restart your computer?

The thing is ….. the JTV series of Variax guitars was released long after the POD XT and X3 series of processors and Line 6 has been very clear from the beginning that the newer JTV series is not supported by the XT or X3 processors. Anything that works (such as with your XT Live) is a coincidental bonus and does not mean that it should, or will, work with the X3. Unfortunately, there is no solution that will make your X3 Live support your JTV. It is simply not supported. If something happens to work, bonus. If it doesn’t there’s nothing you can do to make it work.

Are you specifically looking for a POD product? The POD HD500X and POD HD ProX both provide full support for the JTV-59. They are both legacy products, no longer being manufactured but still available in some retail stores and available in the used marketplace. Earlier POD models include a VDI connection, required for Variax support, but support earlier Variax models, pre-JTV. Current products that support the JTV series are not PODs. They are the Firehawk FX and many - but not all - of the Helix products. See Product link at the top of this page for details of each model.

Do you now have it back in working order, or is it still locking up?

The HX FX has two Send/Return pairs. Obviously one is used for your 4CM setup. You can use the other to do what you want. Structure your preset to use a parallel path as described in the manual pages 36/37. Create the path split anywhere after the 4CM FX Loop and place the desired IR in the parallel path. Use the method described in the manual for Setting Path B’s Output to create the two Output blocks. This will route the Output of the path without the IR to the Main Outs, which will complete your 4CM setup, and will route the Output of the path with the IR to a Send output. Connect those to the PA. Notes: 1. You may need to adjust either the hardware connection you use for 4CM (switch to Send/Return 2) or the Output block routing in the parallel path. The above description may, by default, have a single Send/Return pair attempting to do double duty, which won’t work. Just make sure you keep the 4CM pair separate from the parallel path output. 2. if you’re using any stereo FX blocks after the IR using just the Send 1 connection to the PA may not sum a stereo signal to mono.

I don’t know if this suggestion is already on Ideascale but I’d be surprised if it isn’t. It’s a nice feature to have, and was available in the POD HD product series. it caused synchronization issues and lost updates between the memory states of the Edit program and the POD HD device, especially in situations where users would make changes using both the editor and the device during the same session. This feature was not carried forward into the Helix or POD Go products. Not to say it won’t be done again, but just to say that Line 6 made a conscious decision to drop it.

You should be able to load the attachment using the Spider amp edit program. I’m not sure what it’s called but you should be a able to find it in the Downloads section.

The difference between home and gig is the volume increase in the amp. Following the signal chain routing, that suggests that the clipping is occurring after the amp’s FX Loop Send. I would follow the signal chain from that point on. The clipping could be occurring in the HX FX Return block or in any following block in the HX FX. Use the HX FX Output block which shows the output signal level either green (no clipping) or red (indicates clipping). You will need to do this at gig volume to trace the actual offending block(s). Start by checking the Level parameter of each block. Any block with a Level of greater then 0db could theoretically be causing clipping at the input of any following block. Set the Level parameter of all blocks to 0db and see if the problem persists. This will probably affect your tone, so the exercise will be to adjust the Level setting of the various blocks (some may need to be set to a minus-db level) in order to reproduce the tone without clipping. And have fun! …. addendum…. The problem could still be occurring in the HX FX blocks before the FX Loop, so if the above is not working well repeat this approach with those blocks. For instance, if your external OD box, or any HX FX block, is sending a signal that is too hot the clipping may not become apparent until you crank the amp. The overall issue here is called gain staging, and is important during preset creation. Every time a block is added to the signal chain there is an opportunity to cause downstream clipping. That’s why it’s best to create your presets at gig volume. I know that’s not practical for you but it does mean that your clipping issues will only be encountered at your gig.

Glad the dropouts are resolved. For an understanding of how to use snapshots and the looper I suggest (at the risk of a backlash) that you begin by reading the sections of the manual that cover these topics. The manual provides the most clear and concise explanations, written by professional technical writers, with information that is known to be accurate. That’s not always the case in responses here. And you have immediate access to the information. After that let us know if you have specific questions.

How exactly are you doing that? Try using the Global Settings to use the Up/Down switches for Next/Prev Preset, and set the layout to 8 Switches in Stomp Mode. Experiment with that.

I'm not a Mac person, but on Windows I would say this could be a permissions problem. Check for any folder permissions settings.

I think you need to be logged in to your Line 6 account within POD Go Edit to authorize your computer and recognize your license. Have you tried that?

Any wireless receiver is greatly affected by proximity to a wireless router. Even a few feet can make a big difference. Is there a wireless router in your room? If so, try moving the Pod Go and/or the router so that they are at least 6 feet away from each other. The farther the better.

Short answer - No.

I may misunderstand but it seems like you want a MIDI Out/Thru port to connect to an Audio In port. MIDI does not carry an analog audio signal; it carries command/control digital data. So what I think you’re wanting to do is just not possible.

No reason if you're happy with what you've got. I'm happy with my stock JTV-59 pickups and haven't swapped them.

Confirmed!! I am able to use the Staqescape remote app with my newer iPad running iOS 15.4.1. No changes were required to the Stagescape mixer or the Remote app installation, but..... Those using the Apple Airport Express router might find, as I did, that the router needs to be reconfigured to use wireless Channel 1. Took some head scratching on my part, and I can't explain why, but the router no longer was using wireless channel 1 which the Stagescape seems hardwired to use. The router channel change finally resolved the problem.

Correct - no guitar amp; just a Tube Preamp block. And I agree about the mic/cab/IR before the amp block. Not good.

To delete a patch or IR you need to overwrite it with another patch/IR. Most people copy/paste a New Preset (the default empty preset) or the <Empty> IR.

Open a support ticket.

Actually with my acoustic guitar presets I often put the acoustic IR as the first (or very early) block in the signal chain. My reasoning is that acoustic IRs are generally designed to emulate the tonal influence of the guitar body - which happens before the sound emanates from the sound hole where the mic is placed. All other signal processing comes after that.

V1.30 is the latest and current firmware according to the Downloads page. I don't know where you are seeing v1.30.30, but as far as I know it doesn't exist. No need to update.

You have several options, I think. 1) Open a support ticket with Line 6 and plead your case to have them offer you an interface for free or at what you consider to be a fair price. 2) Initiate the lawsuit you feel is a slam dunk. Let us know how that goes. Others may want to join you and make it a class action. 3) Continue to complain and berate people here. I guess I’m now first in line.

That’s normal default behaviour. Hitting the up/down switch is the first step in selecting a different preset. The flashing indicates that the displayed presets in the new Bank are available for selection. The ‘switch preset’ process isn’t complete until you have selected the new preset by pressing one of the A-D switches in the selected Bank. You can change this in Global Settings -> Footswitches using Knob 5 so that pressing the up/down buttons immediately loads the next preset or snapshot without displaying the flashing Bank queue. See manual pg. 68 for a full description.
