djams957 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 A couple years ago I bought a Peavey AT-200 Autotune. I used it with my POD HD500 and after just a few minutes the electronic features of the guitar stopped working (I mean no signal at all when features were engaged). I sent the guitar back and got another thinking maybe it was bad out the box. I called Peavey and was told there should be no compatibility issues with the POD. I got the new one, plugged it directly in to an amp to start with and everything was fine. Ran it through my POD and the same failure occurred. Sent the ax back for a refund. Now I'm thinking of getting the Variax JVT-69. Before I do I thought I'd throw it out here to see if anybody has had any issues or some advice on what to be alert to. Since both products come from Line 6 I am not anticipating a problem but need some reassurance. Any comments? Djams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The Variax and the HD500 work great together. So the question becomes --- why isn't the pod and the guitar working together, and will the same issue occur with the Variax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djams957 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 That's the million dollar question (or the several hundred dollar question). Why would the Peavey not work with the POD. Any ideas? Is it possible that whatever caused the Peavey to fail could cause the Variax to fail? I don't know to much about sampling instruments.

Rocco_Crocco Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 How does the Peavey hook into the POD? Regular guitar cable? If so the POD has no effect on the AT-200;s electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djams957 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 The AT200 is similar to the Line 6. It has a TRS connection as well as proprietary multi-pin connector the goes to an external adapter. The connection I used to run to the POD was the standard TRS.

BigChas52 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Possibly a conflict between the HD500's wiring and the TRS adapter. I would have tried a standard TS cord before sending it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djams957 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Sorry. I mispoke. It was not a TRS cord. It was a standard TS cord...the normal 1/4" mono phone plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
