musicimpossible Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 If anyone has a USB interface that they are not using, please give me a shout. Thx !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Look on Fleabay, etc for a used one. There have to be a bunch of folks that have them and never use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Brown Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I guess you know that you can use a POD HD too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, Found an older version here but for the life of me I cannot figure out whether or not that will work with my 2015 Standard and the WorkbenchHD?

Matt_Brown Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 As far as I'm aware that would work but the cable appears to be wrong. The one I have comes with a Ethernet cable that is shielded on end to go in the guitar and not the other. I don't think a shielded end will fit in the interface....

Could you post a pic of the cable if you get a chance? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 That interface will work but that is the wrong cable. IT can't have a shell on the end that goes into the interface. Price is too steep to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Thx, Found an older version here but for the life of me I cannot figure out whether or not that will work with my 2015 Standard and the WorkbenchHD? Based on the pictures in the link I don't think this package will work. The cable connecting the guitar to the interface device seems to be a full VDI cable - it has the shielded housing on both ends. The housing will prevent th connection to the interface device, which has no room to accept the shielded connection. The proper cable has shielding at one end (for the guitar connection) but no shielding at the end that connects to the interface device.

Fretburner Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Does anyone know for sure if the Variax will operate Workbench HD through Helix yet? I purchased a used JTV-59 but it did not come with the interface. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Helix does not yet operate as an interface for Workbench HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretburner Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well that stinks! Do you know if there are any future plans to make this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well that stinks! Do you know if there are any future plans to make this happen? L6 won't divulge the color of the bathroom tile at corporate HQ... That being said, I cannot fathom that they would leave this out forever...it would aggravate too many Variaxers.

The Helix is physically setup really well to be an interface for the Variax and Workbench. It has the VDI cable point and a Usb point - perfect. Just need some code and its rolling.

stevekc Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I cannot fathom that they would leave this out forever...it would aggravate too many Variaxers. I own both HD500 and HD500X and a Helix. Had to keep the HD500 around because they didnt get Workbench HD functional on HD500X until April 2014 (or 2 1/2 years after HD500X release: find Workbench HD in the Software downloads area http://line6.com/software/index.html Workbench HD currently works with these : POD HD Pro POD HD Pro X POD HD500 POD HD500X Variax USB Interface If you need the USB Interface buy it here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Workbench or used here https://reverb.com/au/item/1331115-line-6-variax-workbench-usb-interface-w-both-cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
