richie2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Hi Just got a second hand Variax and loaded the software. When I plug the guitar in to the PC via a USB/ethernet, one end of the connector blinks green but the guitar end ( ethernet to guitar) blinks red and the software says "not connected" As a complete newbie I am clueless as to what I've done wrong! I did look on the tutorials but this question is too basic for those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Is the battery fully charged? Do you have a 1/4” guitar jack plugged in to activate the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie2 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Yes battery fully charged. Do you need to have the jack plugged in as well as the ethernet then? Didn't do that. Second hand so no manual, relying on goodwill from the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Yes. The plug activates the battery, like an ON switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
