sherimehmood Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I am trying to update my JTV 89 F using my Helix as the interface through line 6 monkey. I have both the line 6 cable and the quarter inch jack connected to the guitar. Every time I try to update the firmware from 2.21 to 2.23 I am getting the following 2 errors (screenshot attached). Can anyone help on how I can get over this issue? ryi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specracer986 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I don't have a definitive answer for you, but if you're going through the Helix, then you don't need the 1/4" cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb7170 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Unfortunately, the L6 Monkey does not work for updates of the Variax guitar firmware through the Helix. You'll have to use the usb interface you got with your Variax. I hate it, but hope some future Helix fw update will remedy that. I still have my HD500X and 500, so I use that rather than the usb interface if I have to update the Variax. The HD Work Bench works fine for adjusting the Variax models with the Helix, though it took them about 2 years to get that going. Was a big step forward...

Dave Thanks for that piece of information I had tried pretty much everything else nothing worked. My USB interface wasnt working either but then i realised it also requires the battery to be charged and inside the guitar in order to get it to update. Btw the new update didnt make much of a difference. Everything sounds the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
