Jtv Models - Factory Vs. User

[marcp]

Forgive me if this has been discussed previously - but I'm trying to sort out the following:

 

1] made changes to a JTV Variax in Workbench JTV (volumes, pickup selections, etc.)

2] applying these tweaks to the POD HD500 model page for the JTV - both Factory and User JTV patches are shown there.

 

My question: do the tweaks made in Workbench affect both the Factory and User Model selections in HD500 Edit, or just the User selections? 

 

thanks,

marcp

With early versions of the firmware of the JTV, (or the previous generation of Variax) yes there was a Factory Bank (read only) accessible through the POD where you have the original intact models (but which are not accessible without the POD).

 

But after a certain firmware version, there is no Factory bank in the JTVs anymore. Just the User bank.

 

Therefore, to preserve this function in the JTV you will have to stay in a previous version of firmware.

If you make a change to any JTV model, any patch that calls that model specificly (not set to "Do Not Force") will use the changed model stored on your JTV. It doesn't matter if it is called by a "Factory" or a "User" HD500 patch. The guitar model, changed or unchanged, depending on whether you modified it & stored it on the JTV or not, is stored on the JTV itself, not the HD500.

makes sense - thank you!
