It's modeling, best to use the speakers it was modeled for,... use the G12P-80's or Celestion's closest present day equal.

Online markets have them here in the US. Whether or not they ship cross border to Canada will be the question. There is product out there. Also check with the Facebook Variax page,... buying, selling and swapping is done there from time to time, with permission and okays from the Admins of the page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/VariaxUsers

What silverhead said. I the piece magnetic?

Could be the switch (solder point, failing micro switch), could be the bridge pick-up, or a solder point. Should be troubleshooted by a tech that knows and has experience with the product. Parts from Full Compass should be good. Update to that prior post,... it's been 15-1/2 plus years here and 2,800-ish plus Variaxes later,... best approximation.

Anytime.

Early 2011 build. There are about four different reasons for it to fail like that. Check with the authorized service center in your area. Have them check it out.

Maybe they can special order it.

Try Full Compass or your local authorized service center.

Tubes wouldn't make it come up on computer display as a DT112 instead of 212,... only the dip switches would. Even nudging them by accident (which I caught myself doing couple times). Makes it think there's only one 12" speaker in there and throws everything off. Mullards frying it,... maybe, doubt it, maybe stressed it some. Mullards didn't help. Might be recoverable. A Line 6 authorized tech could deal with and would have access to me for any specifics.

What silverhead said,.... Do not use any lubricant on that. Use a Line 6 VDI cable with the Canon housings.

You messed with the dip switches.

:)

1- Was it in "Standby" mode when you connected to check the Firmware? 2- Distorted sound could be tubes, could be a solder point on the processor board. Being an older product, solder points would be starting to oxidize by now. 3- Are the power tubes matched pairs, and did you change out the pre-amp tubes as well? Having Mullards didn't help. Taking it to a Line 6 authorized shop would have techs who know the product. If it's reading as a DT-112, then the shop messed up with the processor board setting. Have them check it out. They can contact us if they want, being an authorized service center.

Reset is done by re-Flashing using Monkey. https://line6.com/find/service_center/ At this point contact,...

May need to replace the main board.

All sounds the same,.... Last question,... have you been playing it using both VDI and the 1/4" jack at the same time, to make use of two outputs at the same time?

It's okay we will get this sorted out. Disconnect from Monkey and Workbench HD. Plug in to play, go to Acoustic, toggle-1, push Alt Tune knob to bring up the Blue level models. Does it come up as acoustic 12-string guitar?

Two green LED's on the VDI to USB interface device? Fully charged battery in the guitar? 14/" TRS stereo headphone adapter plugged in?

Check the Line 6 Downloads page, make certain the versions of Monkey and Workbench HD are current and match up with your Windows OS.

Something has to be in there, says it's connected to a 59, and the slots are labeled,... Are you using the correct interface device, correctly?

Dialing in and being more spot on with string tuning and intonation also helps.

Sounds like dual tone effect. That's when you hear the standard tuning coming off the strings, and the alternate tuning coming out of the amp. Turning up the amp a bit will minimize it, as would using headphones, depending on where you are and your set-up. Knob top,... very small dabs of Krazy glue on the knob rim, put the top back on, let it an hour before putting the knob back on the shaft.

Anytime.

Ah, right, sorry. I see you are outside the USA. See if one of these can get you one.
