The difference in output from mag more to Variax more is dependent upon the pick up hight. If it's not loud enough try raising the pickups and if it's too loud lower them.

One thing about the new models for the JTV-89... They aren't really a completely new model. They're models of the JTV-89 itself. So the JTV-89 contains a digital model of its own magnetic pickups.

well....i think they should make some modifications in latency cause with acoustic models and alternative tunings i feel a little of latency in particoular

on the bass strings....

and i'm very disappointed with the new models only for jtv89's users.

I can't either but Google Translate does:

In addition a total of 28 types of electric, acoustic, instruments supremo tick, you have five dedicated model also Haigen JTV-89. Each model is based on the difference of the pick-up position, you can access the configuration and custom Dream Rig tuning and drop using the high-gain guitar tone.

The combination of these models and custom tuning, that it is suitable for a wide range of instruments and metal and jazz, to classical music the JTV-89 is possible. You can simulate a range of 8-string guitars and 10-string guitar by lowering the tuning of the three string bass, raise the three treble strings.

High-gain model, which is based on the following:

     Rear pickup
     Single coil sound on the rear position of the coil tap
     Front pickup
     Single-coil sound of the front position of the coil tap
     Front + rear pickup

I love how the "read more" link for the new patch doesn't work and under the actual 89's description for the new models you get this;

Five High-Gain Models

計28種類のエレクトリック、アコースティック、エクレティック楽器に加えて、JTV-89専用のハイゲン・モデルも5種類用意されています。各モデルはピックアップ・ポジションの違いをベースとしており、ハイゲイン・ギター・トーンを使ってドロップ・チューニングやカスタムDream Rigコンフィギュレーションなどにアクセス可能です。

こうしたモデルとカスタム・チューニングを組み合わせることで、JTV-89をメタルやジャズ、クラシカル・ミュージックに適した広音域の楽器とすることが可能。低音弦3本のチューニングを下げ、高音弦3本を上げることで8弦ギターや10弦ギターの音域をシミュレートできます。

以下をベースとするハイゲイン・モデル:

リア・ピックアップ
コイルタップによるリア・ポジションのシングルコイル・サウンド
フロント・ピックアップ
コイルタップによるフロント・ポジションのシングルコイル・サウンド
フロント＋リア・ピックアップ

Good post! I've noticed the same exact thing. The JTV is definitely an improvement over previous Variaxes but, I've often wondered if the low-mids were a bit too much. Maybe I should mess with workbench to correct this?

If I understand this correctly, the new 5 models in the JTV-89 are based on it's own mag pickups? If so, I guess that the 59 and 69 owners will get something similar in the future? If so, I don't mind waiting for v2.0.

Have to agree. Why do i as a 69 owner not get access to these new models.

I prefer a strat shape and the trem, but woudl still like to experiment with the high gain options.

Come on Line6 this goes against the idea of the variax and just doesnt make sense.

Hang on a sec , WHY are the high gain models only available for the 89 ? , why are 59 and 69 players not been offered the same options ? why are we being discriminated against ?

We have all forked out our hard earned pennies on the product and just because we prefer a more "retro" design doesn't mean that we don't want an option of a higher gain model of guitar or the option to put a high gain pickup in the preset models within workbench .(a suggestion i put to line 6 months ago)

Its not exactly unheard of for LP or Strat players to stick EMGs or Dimarzio / SD / or whatever in their guitars to get the sound they want while they retain the looks of a classic instrument , otherwise Slash, Zack , Malmsteen etc would all be hanging Ibanez or Charvels round their necks

The JTV is supposed to be the one stop guitar , with only the body/neck design seperating the benefits available to the player .Get it sorted Line6

I would like to share my experiences about the 1.9 firmware. I've got a JTV-69, so I was a bit sad when I saw that the 5 new model is only for the JTV-89. I hope Line6 will make this available for us too.

I made some records before and after the update. I was very curious about the developed palm muting, as I regurlarly use it.

Unfortunatelly I didn't notice differences, maybe very little. The magnetic pickups are still better in this situation. The virtual ones don't give the short, dynamic pluck. I think this is partly caused by the tone of the virtual ones. In my JTV-69 my magnetic pickups sounds much brighter and there is not as much low-mid tones as the virtual ones (anyone noticed that?). When I palm mute the strings it still give some boom, instead of the mentioned short, dynamic transient (pluck).
