JScotty317 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hey Guys, Bought a windows machine over the weekend so I could run Monkey and some other apps that aren't supported on Mac OS these days. Just tried to update my JVT-59 and I seem to be stuck. The variax is plugged in via the ethernet-usb adapter that came with the guitar and with the same cable (in case that matters) itself. Both lights are green on the adapter but I can't seem to get it to connect to Monkey (v1.77 on Windows 10) or install the necessary drivers to update anything. I tried to select a device to connect but the Variax USB interface doesn't seem to connect all the way. And the guitar is not recognized in Workbench even if I rescan. See my attached screenshots and if you could provide any insight or next troubleshooting steps I would greatly appreciate it! I'm trying to get some factory settings back on this guitar and my Shuriken SR250. Cheers, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkyboy Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Do you plug a Jack on the guitar? you need to plug a jack to power up the guitar And don't forget to put the battery inside ! and set the Volume knob full open ! I recommend you to install WORKBENCH HD he install drivers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the guitar hooked up to my Helix LT using a standard 1/4" guitar cable and I press the Model knob and see the lights under the knob turn on. I made sure to fully charge up the battery beforehand just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkyboy Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Do you have the VDI cable to connect the Variax on your Helix? In this case you can launch Workbench HD trought the Helix without plug the usb Interface ? To see if it works If not Uninstall Line 6 monkey and Workbench HD Reboot your pc and Install WORKBENCH HD ONLY ; I think during the installation you gonna have the option to install Monkey at the same time (don't remember exactly) Try again I see , you say that monkey and workbench don't work ? Maybe try to launch with right admins ( right click) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I notice on one of the Monkey page it says there are no drivers installed for the Variax. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
