12-string model noise

On my JTV-89 I'm getting a lot of extra noise on all of the 12-string models (positions 2 and 4 on Acoustic or Chime).  None of the other models seem to have it that I can tell, but with modeling turned off, the magnetic pickups have the same thing going on at positions 2 and 4.  It's kind of a whistling noise.  I've tried different outlets/power strips, I've tried at home on studio monitors and at church through an amp, and I've tried both the Variax cable and a regular 1/4".  None of these things seem to have any effect.

 

Could any of you with a JTV in-hand take a listen to these positions for me and see if you experience the same thing?

    I just checked my JTV69- the 12 string models do have a very slight higher level of noise, but not anything that would make a difference.

    Re: RE: 12-string model noise

    I didn't hear a "whistling noise" on the current flash memory install of my JTV89.

     

    I do remember an earlier install of the flash memory where something like that was going on with the modelled sounds. A re-flash (via Workbench USB) of the system software correct that issue for me. This was sometime earlier this year.

     

    I'd recommend a re-flash, if possible. Then re-check.
