brokenbones Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm starting to research the different Variax models and I just want to be sure what I want to do is available on certain models with my HD500x. I guess the most intriguing feature that i've read about so far is being able to have patches with certain alternate tunings and/or 12 string simulators built in to my patches. Is this only done through instruments or pods with a VDI connector? Also, which software allows me to change the tunings? Is it done in L6 Edit or Workbench? Which models available are compatible with the HD500x that will allow me access to these tuning features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 JTV, Standard and Shuriken work fine through the VDI connector of a 500X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenbones Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Can you leave a variax and non-variax guitar plugged into the pod at the same time? If the variax is running a VDI cable and the other guitar is your standard 1/4", technically you could set the patch input to whichever input i'd need for that specific guitar, correct?

psarkissian Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 " Can you leave a variax and non-variax guitar plugged into the pod at the same time? "--- Yes. And there is an input selector that allows you to decide which one you want to enable at any given moment. https://line6.com/support/manuals/podhd500x In case you want to do a deep dive into a owners manual for more details.
