Variax tuning problem

support@line6.com — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:40:55 GMT

Hi, my problem is this: When i pull/bend the E string it detunes a semitone, then i dive the whammy bar and it returns exactly in tune, and it affects also the A string but a bit less, and the D string a bit more less, so it must be the bridge.

If i don't bend the strings, and give the trem a good bump, the tuning remain rock solid, no problems with that.

This happened yesterday when I changed the strings. It was perfect before and never had any tuning problems. This is a new set of strings, Rotosound pinks 9-42. The previous set was exactly the same but without this problem. I changed the string twice with new ones from different brands but the problem remains exactly the same so it's not a string problem. I also put some string lube in the nut and in the pivots.

I think it has something to do with the cables attached to the tremolo as one of them seems flattened between the tension spring and the trem block.

The video quality is bad and volume is low but you'll get the idea.

Hi, you need to turn the whammy bar clockwise until it tightens, there's a screw at the bottom, the little allen on the side is for tightening the 'feel'

Thanks Crusty,

In fact on the back of the xtl it says 9v DC 2000mA minimum.

I'm curious to know if this will actually help when the electricity is low.

If it won't then i'll try the ups.

Cheers

Pod xtl power problems

Hi, can i use a 9v AC 3000mA instead of a 2000mA transformer on a pod xtl?

I've been having power problems and someone suggested this. I also bought a stabilizer but didn't solve my problem completely. Sometimes the lcd display light gets dimmer with every bassdrum kick, and sometimes it reset the program or totally shuts down and restarts.

Oh! And I have a variax connected to it.

Any help please?

transfer gold bundle licence from pod xtl to kb37

Hi, I purchased the collector classics bundle for my XTL, and recently purchased the gold bundle for gearbox to use with my XTL, but I'm thinking of buying the KB37 with pod farm.

Can I transfer the gold bundle licence to the KB37 / pod farm? but keep the collector classics in the xtl / gearbox? Are they compatible?

Thanks
