Contact the authorized service center in your area. Something that old may have some

intermittent solder point or loose retainer nut causing an intermittent ground point.

Circuitry in there won't allow for that kind of modification. Can't just splice into a circuit like that.

Would require a re-design and some serious impedance matching.

In a nutshell,... don't do that!

No, the clipping light will come on too easily. That would stress the input circuit.

And would have the "unpleasant distortion" that sliverhead mentioned.

Yes, still on the L6 site Downloads page.

You will need a Windows 7 computer to go back that far.

And Workbench HD won't work on anything earlier than Firmware v2.00, and you have to use original Workbench.

404,... it's because you are outside the USA and our web store does not ship across borders.

And unfortunately, neither does Full Compass. Contact Yorkville or Long and McQuade, maybe they can be of some help.

Yes,... PierM remembered.

"... hope they design new magnetic pickups that capture each string's signal separately, "  

" It is not possible to use a magnetic pickup for individual strings. At least I don't know any that can do that. " 

Actually, it is possible. They are called "hexaphonic pick-ups". Hex being six, and phonic being sound source. Not enough magnetic field isolation

between strings because of magnetic mutual coupling of the magnetic fields between pick-up elements.

And what goes into it verses the results you get from it,... was thought of as diminishing returns for the effort put into it. Nice idea, just didn't work as

well as it was hoped.

Mostly used in some of the early guitar synths. Still used on certain Roland guitar synths and Fishman guitar MIDI products.

Beyond that, hardly anyone uses hexaphonic pick-ups much anymore.

69 jack plate won't work in a 59, cable lengths are all wrong.

See if you can special order it from Full Compass. Also log a Support ticket in your account.

They are the authorised service in the UK, contact them and see if they can get you the part,

or point you to a supplier who can.

All of them. I've looked at fret specs of our different guitars as I service them and they all

use the Jescar 57110.

Retailer serviced it. Is it still acting up? If so, log a support ticket in your account, it could be something deeper.

All Variax guitars have Jescar 57110 frets.

Upside for a luthier is that when working, leveling and round frets, there's enough material to work with.

smaller frets wear down to where you can't work them anymore. Then you have to re-fret, or swap out

the neck,... if it's a bolt-on neck.

Down side is that Jescar 57110 is a bit much.

I'm fine with anything, I adapt, so I'm comfortable with whatever it is.

I know this one. He does good work. Consulted me, as I had done a left hand transplant mod for Line 6 artist Carlos Rios (circa 2014).

And like Carlos, this one is also left handed, matching a 500 electric bridge (flat on the deck) to a JTV board.

Last I recall, this one by Hamsterdan was a one-off project, and said it work pretty good. Being a former rep for us,

he well was acquainted with our product.

Both were challenging and not for the inexperienced. As the saying goes, "These are professionals. Don't try this at home."

Very good.

Been hearing these rumors since the beginning of JTV's. If or when that happens, there will be official word on that.

In the meantime, just rumors,... rainbows and unicorns.

300 with random model changing,... intermittent solder point, loose connector or a loose ground.

Have the authorized service center in your area that can deal with Variax take care of it. There is a

mini pull down sub menu for general service and those that also deal with Variax.

"... are the Piezo’s unique to different strings" --- no, but the saddles are. Saddles are grouped in

pairs (outer, inner and mid) to conform to the neck radius spec at the bridge. Same piezos in each

saddle, but each saddle pair height is different.

"... the low E volume was crazy low" --- it is probably connected to the incorrect connector pin. Each

string piezo has to got to the correct connector for that string.

"... I might have the connections to the board the wrong way around on the multi pin. " --- more than likely.

As stated above, they have to be in the correct order for that string. Yes, it knows which string is which.

And can't go any deeper than that,... it's an NDA thing.

Find the Line 6 authorized service center in your area that does our guitars and

have them do the set-up and give it check up.

Make certain that they are medium (as in soft, medium or hard) and matched pairs.

There are still batteries out there. Supply is slow flow, due to limits on how many can be shipped at once, for safety reasons.

SR270 should be physically tune to standard tuning, then go to alternate tunings using the Alt Tune function knob.

Right, no WB for the nylon, forgot that. Haven't serviced a nylon in a while.

Service center would be good. An older product like that, I would expect a solder point or two to

go intermittent, or a connector not seating in all the way. And they can check and/or adjust the set-up as needed.

No broken string ends in the cavities messing with the electronics? 

You have v2.23 program, good. 

It may need a going over by a Line 6 authorized service center. 

Find me on the FB Variax Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/VariaxUsers ,

... then personal message me, with the "W" and the first four digits,... only.

I can check a few things quick. Will be able to check deeper once back at work on Tuesday.

What silverhead said. 

Hmmm,... the model knob should stay blue while you a in that mode. 

Can't do a 3-way to 5-way conversion, the program won't know how to deal with that. 

Board is programmed for the guitar body, pick-up and switch configuration it's in. And

not enough space in the cavities if you could do a conversion.
