Go into the device manager and audio configuration set-ups in your computer. Check the settings.

First suspicion would be a sample rate discrepancy between devices, one them is not set at the same rate as the other.

Current and time lag specs have to be considered. Whatever the Littelfuse number is, use that exact same number. Or whatever the other company's equal is, but preferably the Littelfuse number,... especially with a hybrid (analog/digital) valve amp like this.

Actually a lot of them come back for cosmetic issues from dealers or someone bricking a program board trying to do an update, miscellaneous electro-mechanical, or just don't like the look or feel. Yeah, and the odd plink thing when palm muting on the Strat patch. Yeah, yours is almost done, I'm just dialing it in. Passing it around to the CS people who are better at palm mutes than I am. Mine sound like White Snake/Tony Iomi/Ronnie James Dio trying to do a pick/string scratch while palming. It's why I don't do it much outside of classical guitar music.

"I have heard they are on par with Suhr, Anderson, Melancon, Tyler and the like, and the folks I've heard that from give me no reason not to believe it"--- The guy who builds the US versions, is one of James Tyler's people. I own 10 guitars, 4 are JTV's,... and none of them were purchased new.

For Spider Valve, with 5881WXT,... +35mV(dc) +/- 2mV. It's in the Knowledge Base somewhere.

@ Peter,.... Yes. I know the guy that does these, they are fine works.

@ PierM,... almost $4K for one? Must be a seriously customized, or ultra fine, or tricked-out US made one for that price for a refurb. But then, the guy that does the US builds does really fine work.

Either would be fine. The 59 has the added feature of having pick-ups, so there is that extra versatility there. Never had any service/repair issues with 59's and 69's with Fishmans on them. Sometimes come in with just the mounting bracket on only, so the unit doesn't get my way. Considerate of them, but not necessary, I work around it.

Daivd Gilmore,... niiiice. V&A,... go by there sometimes. Haven't stopped in yet. Quite a building though. If you need servicing of Line 6 gear, and don't want to go all the way down to E&M Electronics in Milton Keyes, there's Mark Wright Music in Northampton. Mark was one of our techs at the Rugby location we used to have. Now he's got his own shop. Have some friends and colleagues in Yorkshire. Also in London at QMUL (C4DM), Surrey, Cambridge (ARCAM) and Uni of Essex (ARL). Guess I'm well covered. Cheers, -P

Haven't been there yet. I hang about in Chelsea, Earls Court and The West End. Sometimes Daventry and Rugby. One of our techs hung out his own shingle in Northampton when we closed our UK location. Still stay in touch with my mates there (and the ex-pats here). I normally say valve, but there are some of us yanks not gotten into the habit the way I have. UK, my fave place. The Bard, The Theatre there, can't get enough it. :)

PX-2 supplies from the Line 6 web store is the best bet, that's what is used when not using batteries.

Where abouts?

Have a Tobacco-59 and a Cherry Sunburst-59, both from early 2011. No problems, love 'em both.

Choppy audio is usually a sign of sample rate mis-match between devices. One of them is not syncing up.

Register your gear and log a ticket, we can narrow it down better. An authorized service center or Line 6 is the best bet for getting it up and running. We aim for a 14 day turn time, once it lands here.

Uncle_Os is correct, the scale on the Shuriken is different, so that will have an affect. Best bet for pitch shift accuracy is to tune to standard pitch and make sure the set-up (and especially the intonation) is dialed-in.

:) Too busy repairing these things to do that. But thanks anyway.

89F doesn't use locking tuners, because it has locking string nut and tree.

Got the specs off of the 89F drawings. Slight correction, borrowed calipers from a lab-mate,... 24.4mm was at the end of the fret-board, just before the head-stock flare. 20.2mm at fret-1 (not including fret height) 20.15mm at fret-12 (not including fret height) ... measured from a spare 89F neck I have here, with a more recent serial#. A more recent spec.

And nicely sculpted to boot.

"You're not including the fret wire are you?"--- No. "I'm having a hard time believing there isn't a mistake with those measurements. That would be baseball bat size, not "fast and flat"---- Those are the specs. There may be some slight variation of tolerance from guitar to guitar as would be expected, as they are not perfect clones. And it's wood, so it breathes, along with the way its set-up is done. I have four JTV's, they each have a feel specific to its own. Glockster,... yeah, being the JTV/Standard guy here,... Jelena double checked a couple things with me earlier about that. specracer986,... I would think the width would play a role too. Not sure what Tyler's width-to-depth ratio design criteria was at the time.

24.4mm at fret-1 24.9mm at fret-12 ... don't know off-hand what that is in inches.

Every time I get an amp back with something other than specified tubes, its failure end up turning out be the reason for the failure. These are not all analog amps, these are hybrid analog/digital amps. You can get away with doing the kind of tube swaps like we used to back in the 1960's and 70's, with all analog tube systems. Use the specified set of EL84 (matched pairs) and 12AX7 Electro-Harmonix tubes, mediums. If The Tube Store tells you that EH is just a Sovtek with EH painted on it, and that you don't need the EH's. Mike Matthews of EH has told me on more than one occasion, that EH owns the Sovtek factory in Russia. The EH tubes go through extra scrutiny and testing, required for our products. The Tube Store knows tubes, they may not know our amps or what they require,... I do. Best to use the specified tubes, so that I won't have to see your amp on my bench.
