Hi

I picked up a GT40 today. Great amp but the Bluetooth leaves a lot to be desired. I have trawled through some posts and cannot see an answer so hopefully this isn’t a duplicate post.

Basically I am aware that when connecting an iPhone to the amp you have to do this effectively twice - once via the Tone app to change amp settings and then again via the main iPhone settings to stream music. This causes certain conflicts and can be a pain to reconnect all the time.

Is there any fix for this that I have missed (I have updated the amp to 1.5.20)? If not will there be a fix for this? On my line 6 Firehawk FX, the iPad app that allows me to change all tone settings etc has a link to internal music and you can also play music via iTunes whilst also playing with the tone app all with one Bluetooth connection so it must be possible.

Also, is there any way of controlling volume of guitar and music that is being streamed via the iPhone (another great feature of Line 6 that I’d taken for granted would appear in the Fender app).

Thanks all!

No, you can't do that. You can't use the Tone App and Streaming at the same time. Bluetooth only allows two devices to pair with one another at any one time, the GT is effectively TWO bluetooth devices and the phone/table is another, so it's either/or. Invest in a 1/8" to 1/8 cable the quality is better and you know where you are. You will still have to control the streaming volume with the phone/tablet volume control, there is no volume controls inside the amp for that purpose.
