jacko1 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Just bought a JtV69 and love it but would like to play the guitar through my computer instead of an Amp. I have downloaded Monkey and Workbench and connected the Guitar and I get the Workbench screen and when changing through pick up the guitar picture changes so I know its connected but no sound. If this is not an option then does Line 6 offer any suitable unit for my variax that I can buy. One more thing is when I first connected my New Variax I saw a bar download screen, I take it this is how I update the latest software onto my Guitar am I correct or do I have to click elsewhere. Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rich If you're using the little VDI interface that comes with the guitar, it only passes data - not power or audio. So you won't hear any sound through your computer from the Variax. To hear the affect of the changes you're making in Workbench, you need to have the 1/4" out connect to something. The other thing is that you actually need to have something connected to the 1/4" out so the Variax powers on when using the VDI interface.

silverhead Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 To update the Variax firmware, connect the Variax to the computer using the interface device, then run Line 6 Monkey. It will indicate whether any updates are available and guide you through the update process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
