My first Live experience with the JTV-69
I took the Variax JTV-69 out to play yesterday. I sent the variax output into the POD HD500 and the 1/4 regular guitar out to a TC Electronic Nova.The 1/4" out also had acoustic emulation on it. I had the variax set on an acoustic Martin setting(the bridge acoustic setting). The plan was to get a little grit from the pod and control that with the pedal and the nice clean acoustic tones over The Nova which also had a volume pedal control.
I sent both boxes via 1/4" stereo line outs to the built in mixer of my mini 8 channel 12" PA which doubled as a stage monitor.Everything was summed to mono in the Mini PA.
From there I took a line out from the PA box into a stage DI box and on to the big PA system. I would have preferred seperate channels on the big PA but they are short of channels.
After balancing the mixer I had things sounding pretty good and was happy overall with everything. The whole thing went well until I accidentally stepped on a foot button on the POD that changed my clean setup into a high gain driven distortion sound. It was loud......... luckily since it was at the beginning of a song, I had a chance to explain what happened and it all went well after that.
So the only problem was human error.......
