I hate iLOK

Hey ChrisMetal86, I had the same problem. Be sure that the Pace License Services is running (under services.msc) and that the iLok is run under an administrator account. For odd reasons, the service often fails to start (esp after software updates). That's been the fix for me..

If the firmware update gets corrupted, it won't boot. The only solution is to order EPROM from FA and you have to open up your unit to install it in the motherboard. Since a number of people are obviously having these issues I think FA should seriously consider including the $1 ROM chip with...

Are you using Line6 JTV guitars? Any good?

Why not use your present git to get the benefits of the Variax: just need a hex pick (Graphtech Ghost is best) and the RackVax (rackvax.com). I have four gits outfitted and they sound awesome. You can even split the signal from the hex or mag pickups to run different processors or amps.
