Footpedal/Stomp/Controller for JTV Variax

[jeremystern]

Hi,

 

I have a JTV-69 that would like to be able to control (change models/programs) with a footswitch similar to the POD HD X with the Variax input. Does Line6 make anything simple, like the M5, that would allow the Variax to plug into it and have program changes with the footswitch?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeremy

Hi Jeremystern, 

 

We have several processors with a Varaix input where you can change presets with different guitars and/or tunings. 

 

Such as: HELIX Family, POD HD, Firehawk FX, Firehawk 1500, and Vetta II.

Thanks, Nick. I'll check it out.

what is the cheapest option.

Probably a secondhand POD HD 5000 nowadays. Added bonus, no need for a battery in the Variax and you get a cool processor too.

So if you want to buy a Variax and use it on, say, a Kemper because you want amp modelling, you're stuck doing changes manually on the guitar?

Would it be an idea for Line 6 to make a unit that took midi and Variax cable in, and audio out? So that the Variax can still be controlled? On the fence about the Variax, but I need to be able to control it, and unfortunately the Helix wasn't for me.
