wilson69978 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hello friends. I have several questions if anyone can answer one or more I would be thankful. I am thinking seriously of buying a variax guitar and I am having trouble finding some info. I see many people are having software issues, so I need some answers before I take the leap. 1. I want to load the new L6 monkey version onto my mac book pro running OS X version 10.6.8. When I check the link on the software install page there is an error on the line 6 web page. I am hesitant to install not knowing system requirements; especially since monkey has worked fine with my gear so far. 2. Does the modelling work thru a regular amp, not a D25 or D50s etc. ie. Just a 1/4 inch cable? I thought I saw a guy on you tube just just the guitar cable. 3. will it work without the pod hd 500. 4. I have a pod hd 400 is there any functionality with this and the variax thru the line 6 link port. I would like to use if (if I could) with my present set up,which is modest. A pod Hd 400, A fender superchamp x2 head, with a home made cabinet housing a 12 inch Celestion G12 vintage 30 speaker. The amp is a hybrid tube amp. It has amp modelling, A 12ax7 and 2 power amp tubes. 18 watts I am a very avid player but not a pro. Also Heavy amps are out after back surgury.

wilson69978 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I forgot to mention I have a G30 wireless transmitter, would that work on a Variax? Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tboneous Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Question 1: Can't help on that one Question 2: Yes Question 3: If by "it" you mean a Variax then Yes Question 4: L6 Link is for hooking up the pod to a DT or L series amp &/or speaker Question 5: Yes, if you use a 1/4". If you plan to use the VDI, then No. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson69978 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks for your help Tbpneous. I really appreciate you taking time to answer my questions. Looks like it will work fine for me without the fancy amp and pod hd500. I still need to sort out the software issue as the workbench software seems very nice indeed!

I had my JTV for a while before I took the plunge into the whole Dream Rig. It's well worth it! Your JTV takes on a new life as apart of the HD and DT. Take care T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson69978 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks Again Tboneous. I got the software issue settled too. The latest version of Monkey will run on A mac with Os X version 10.6.8 installed. (in case anyone else was wondering) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
