grandinq Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Whoops. Accidentally hit Post... So I was at the rehearsal tonight and I switched from an acoustic patch to a lead patch. So far so good. After the solo is over press the footswitch to go back to the acoustic patch and it doesn't switch back. I am stuck on this lead distorted sound when I am supposed to be lightly picking an acoustic. I look down and the display indicates the acoustic patch but that is not what I am hearing. There was a break in the song so I turned off the pod, turned it back on and it came back displaying the acoustic patch but I still heard electric lead when I play. When I press on a different footswitch nothinh happens. It still displays the acoustic patch while I am hearing electric. This was a nightmare scenario to have happen on a stage during a dress rehearsal. Of course when I get home and hook things up they work fine. Anyone know what might be going on here? Show is Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxnew40 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Unplug the Variax from the POD. Power up the POD. Connect the Variax to the POD. These steps fix a similar issue I and several others are having with the new firmware. Many of us are having a similar issue but Line 6 thinks it isn't a firmware issue. -Max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

line-6-user Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Did you sort the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandinq Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I am happy to say the technical problems did not happen last night at the show! Max, I followed your advice and powered up and plugged in things in that order. I only wish I had some audio or video to post, as it would have been a good demonstration of some dream rig fun, going from acoustic/Variax mags sound (with mags going throgh the new Roland amp) to a lead sound based on the 2204 amp.

maxnew40 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Grandig, I love my dream rig system too. I have two JTV variax guitars, HD500, and L2m speaker. Switching from acoustic 12 string to a distorted rock sound is real cool! -Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
