    Good thing the glass didn't pucker-in. Those connection show some carbon scorching. The plate resistors, load resistors, and output transformer will need to be checked by an authorized service tech who know the product.

    https://line6.ideascale.com/ Create an account and log in and make a suggestion. People here will look at and review it. Helix was a result of Idea Scale postings.

    Are you able to read the Ip and Gm numbers on the power tubes?
  4. psarkissian
    That tube is "red plating",... shut it off, keep it off until it goes into the shop. Output transformer and relays, plate resistors will have to be checked by a factory authorized tech who knows the insides. E&M in Milton Keyes, or my mate Mark Wright Music in Northampton. Mark used to be my opposite number at Line 6 Rugby, when we had a location there. He knows this stuff as well I do. What tubes are in it? The Brand and numbers, what are they? What are the Ip and Gm numbers on each of the power tubes? -->These power tube sets need to be biased.
  5. psarkissian
    Do an Idea Scale submission on that.

    The FBV mod jack RJ45 is for FBV only, nothing else is compatible with the same pin outs. Use only FBV.

    Yes, what phil_m said. Active pick-ups at a different supply voltage can also have an affect. An intermittent solder point allowing voltage bleed-off is a possibility. In this case should be taken to an authorized service center for that, lots of very small parts on the board you don't want to mess with.
  8. psarkissian
    Yes, what Triryche said.
  9. psarkissian
    XT Pro,... a product that that old, I would expect some intermittent solder points or switch by now. Should be taken in for servicing, preferably by a Line 6 authorized service center that knows the product and has access to service info.

    He logged a support ticket some time ago. I'm just following up, unless he prefers I don't. "... L6 claiming to not monitoring this forum ..."--- huh? Another mis-characterization. "You will also notice that I'm NOT the person who posted a Amplifi problem in this thread. Just a response"--- just responded? Really? "You will also notice that they had no rebuttal to any of the facts posted..... "--- I have none because you're off topic.
  11. psarkissian
    And I'll relay the Amplifi problem to the right people, bsewart shouldn't have gone thru that. I'll look into that further.
  12. psarkissian
    Snide? No, maybe rhetorical. Asinine? Maybe, but then this track is going that way. It's just that I've met the guys from Down Under and know what they are capable of. You're extrapolating a generality from one or two negative posts and painting the entire group with the same brush. If you're going to be judgemental, look at all of it, the satisfied and dissatisfied customers. At least be even handed about it. This post starts out with someone with a problem on his E-string and you're going off on a tangent. And the Amplifi posting ought to with the Amplifi, and not the guitar stuff, so can we stay on point? Someone here has a problem with his JTV-59 guitar, let's stay on point and see if we can solve that one, shall we.

    Chuckie,... ever send any L6 gear to Yamaha Australia (or other authorized L6 service centers there) for servicing? There techs shadowed us for a week, got to know their skills, they know their stuff.
  14. psarkissian
    Wonderful. It's all my fave place to hang about,... London, the Midlands and all. Have a friend and colleague in Colchester at University there in Essex. Cheers.
  15. psarkissian
    Mid Sussex, as opposed to Middlesex? Been to Greenford. Enjoy.
  16. psarkissian
    Nice.
  17. psarkissian
    Just make sure your Stonehenge is full scale and not 18 inches high. Rockin'.
  18. psarkissian
    Exactly. And Gibson was getting away from what it knows, and the fines over CITIES violations was a financial set back. I wouldn't buy a pick-up truck made by me either. I'm a circuit geek. Hershey chocolate factory still smells good from highway, a mile and a half outside of town.
  19. psarkissian
    Some prior post I vaguely recall. JTV-59, Spider IV 75 with FBV,... nice combo. What it cost us to fix, I don't know, I just fix them. If I did know, I wouldn't say beyond what would be published. No company publishes internal info like that anyway. Whatever is on the reg card/warranty card regarding terms is what the terms are. There's some wiggle room, but that's a case-by-case thing that the support people do. I'm a circuit geek. A month sounds a bit long. Warbling is typical a result of pick-up height adjustment. Pick-up pole piece pulling on the string makes it warble, gets amplified in model mode. 68 LP with a tube screamer,... nice.

    "I can get my cat fixed at any local animal shelter"--- But you don't go to a VW mechanic to fix a Pantera or Maserati. These aren't the usual stomp box with a couple op-amp circuits and a couple of knobs. My boss runs the shop. BTW,... I thought you sold all your L6 gear. "How about a repair price guide/service cost posting for all of this "Unique Stuff"? "--- interesting idea. Sometimes what a customer thinks it is and what it turns out to be are two different things. I see this with guitars and with my auto mechanic. So I'm aware of the pitfalls of going down that road. Interesting idea though. Just out of curiosity, when was the last time you paid for a repair here?
  21. psarkissian
    Hershey is no longer owned by the family, the y got bought out buy a big food and snack conglomerate years ago. Aside from going into audio areas they weren't prepared for, Gibson also got nailed twice for CITIES violations regarding wood used in their products, and the hefty fines that went with it.
  22. psarkissian
    It's not the usual cat, have to cuddle these under the chin a little differently.
  23. psarkissian
    "Pack IT UP and SHIP it to Calabasas" and "... nobody in the entire world could possibly fix it"--- I'm still here to fix it. And if you're in the UK, then there's my former L6 mate Mark Wright Music. "Imagine living abroad and trying to deal with getting your instrument repaired ?? Or being on the road and needing help??"--- In the Euro is Yamaha in Germany and Asia and Australia is well covered. Advantage of being part of Yamaha. "EVERYTHING is "Special" and needs "An Expert" ..."--- it's not the usual bill-o-faire of guitars. If you want to be the usual guitar player, get the usual guitar, want to be something else, get something that does something else. I own a few myself, plays great and does what I need it to do.
  24. psarkissian
    Log a support ticket through your Line 6 account and they can go through the options with you. Send it to me here at Line 6 might be an option. Check with support first on that.
  25. psarkissian
    Piezo problem, solder point, action on the hi-E side too low and rubbing a fret can attenuate it. Connector to the main board cocked to one side. An authorized Line 6 service center should look at it.
