I think I found a glitch in the alt tuning w/ 12 strings


Recommended Posts

So, a lot of you know that I've tried out 2 JTVs now.

Both of them have this symptom. 

 

Doing Acoustic-2 then simulating a 7th fret capo causes the A string to crackle randomly.

 

Switching out from a 12th string instruments, as well as changing the tuning from a less high tuning causes the crackling to go away.

 

The crackling kind of sounds like what happens when you set the buffer too low in an audio program.

 

You can hear me changing the tunings as well as model, and then I hit the whammy bar and it stopped.

Is it warble or is the DSP being overloaded by doing so much work?

I think it is warble, I have the same symptom!

 

You got it to happen too?

 

It takes a really long time for it to happen, but I played that riff for a while and it kicks in on the A string. It's always the A string for me.

 

It's a crackling noise instead of the pitch going crazy and swinging all over the place.

 

Thanks for testing it out as well.

I also like to report that the issue I had with using a neck pickup and having an all octave up tuning exists on this guitar as well just like my 600.

 

Playing notes near the 12th fret on any string when having an octave up tuning causes the note to phase out when you play a certain frequency that's usually on the 12th fret or a little below or above.

 

I can live with this, but I do believe it's a glitch as well. 

 

Is there any way to report glitches to Line 6?

FWIW - Under these DSP Alt Tuned 12 string circumstances as the note decays all my Variax's warble same as yours.

 

What - you were expecting perfection?

 

Well, it sounded like buzzing, not warbling. That's the problem. Warbling is more of the note going off tracks and changing the pitch to the wrong pitch, or in some cases, wavering really fast.

This sounded like the right note with buzzing on top of it.

 

I assumed it was an electronic issue and sent my first guitar I got back. I'm starting to regret that now since the one I currently have has a legit issue in the sound.

 

Frankly, I can live with this issue, but if it was an electronic issue, that could mean that it could get worse over time and my guitar to become functionless modeling wise. You know?
