xrayjohn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just bought a JVT-59 and love it! I am looking at an XPS Pedal to a/b between the PA & Amp, but mostly want it to power the guitar instead of using the battery. I am unsure about how this works... It appears that there is only a 1/4" input on the box - does a standard 1/4" guitar cable work? Do you need a special cable? Am I way off and this does not power the guitar? Thanks!

silverhead Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The XPS box will power the JTV but you need to use a TRS (stereo) cable. It will not recharge the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay-man Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Basically the ring will be the line where the power is transferred. You can also power via VDA and a POD (X3 or HD500) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayjohn Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I just bought a new XPS a/b pedal, but with no power supply. I picked up a cheap AC 9V 2000mA adapter and here is what happens: It does power the JTV 59 But, the power light never comes on The XLR & 1/4" lights work But, no matter which of those is lit the signal is always coming out the 1/4" So, bad pedal? Or, bad power supply that isn't allowing the pedal to reach its potential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a regular guitar cable, you're only sending audio from the pedal - not power from the pedal to the guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a proper Line 6 power supply and we'll see if that was the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayjohn Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Does it matter if the TRS is balanced or unbalanced? Mine is balanced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 No it doesn't matter. The TRS is only to supply power as well as transfer the guitar output. It's not stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
