You do have a speaker plugged into the correct output for the speaker load?

Weak output from bridge pickup
psarkissian replied to aed1421's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Position of pick-up height to strings or a solder point in the toggle assembly. Contact Line 6 Support regarding problems registering your guitar. https://line6.com/find/service_center/ for authorized service centers in your area. -
Each Model will sound different according to the guitar it was modeled from, including any quirks associated with that model of guitar. Changing toggle positions will change the sound, check the Model Gallery in the manual for that. Set-up can play a part in it as well, you may want to have that checked and dialed-in if needed.

The way the neck sits in the neck pocket of the 69, and how the bridge orients to it, verses the on-the-deck mounting of the Standard bridge, the slight difference in strings spread, make it a bad idea. The two mounting cavities would leave you with a problem of clearance for good tremolo use. The way the cable mounts from bridge to main board would complicate that even more. Unless you have a lot of experience working on these two guitar, it would be ill advise. Also,... mods like that would be an unsupported modification. So if this ended up on my bench, chances are I would have to return it untouched.

Variax randomly stopped working and won’t turn on
psarkissian replied to liamjmicallef's topic in Variax Standard
Full Compass sells Variax parts, including present generation jack plates. Some items may be out stock at this time. But there is product in the pipeline. There are minor differences in the fit, as the curve of the plates will be different to conform to the curve of the different bodies. The cable harness and chassis ground wire are different lengths for each model as well. Part# 50-04-0126 jack plate assembly. -
Renewing Variax JTV 69s-3TS Sounds

Apparently not. It lists Mojave as the most recent. -
Renewing Variax JTV 69s-3TS Sounds
psarkissian replied to RonSom1976's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
First use Workbench HD to save any models to your computer that you would want to keep. If you reset to the factory preset models, you would use Monkey to re-Flash the firmware. Follow the prompts in Monkey to do that. -
JTV-69 Acoustic Model Issues

Thanks. You're catching me while I'm at work. After work,... it's hit or miss if I'm at the coffee shop WiFi. -
JTV Volume Knobs Becoming Extinct?
psarkissian replied to Nos402's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Extinct? No. Like everything else, CoVid related supply chain bottle necks. Don't do any modifications, it just creates more problems for you.- 1 reply

JTV-69 Acoustic Model Issues
psarkissian replied to changingparadigm's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Whistling and howling is typically the set-up needs to be dialed in,... intonation, action, being on the verge of fret buzz, wearing of the nut slots. See my prior posts here. -

Variax JT batteries
psarkissian replied to NoCoolUserName's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
DO NOT use those. Have had nothing but problems with those. Your timing is good, had a JTV come in today, guitar was fine, the battery failed. And it was one those. Use the actual Line 6 battery, or you're taking a risk with your Variax. -

Compatible devices with Variax Acoustic 700
psarkissian replied to rantpolicy's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
Floor effects board products with a VDI connector. Preferably a still support one. I still use a POD X3 Live at my repair bench for checking and testing old and new Variax guitars. -
Variax JT batteries
psarkissian replied to NoCoolUserName's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Out of stock, hung up in all this CoVid related supply chain bottleneck stuff. Like I always say, "Rumors are like rainbows and unicorns, they look pretty, but you can't touch them because they aren't real." -
Variax JT batteries
psarkissian replied to NoCoolUserName's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
It's a safety regulator circuitry common in the safer legitimate Li-Ion batteries. Ours geared for our product, and prevents the inconsistency of knock-offs from being problem,... which they are. Thankfully keeps fewer Variaxes from showing up on my repair bench for such reasons. -

psarkissian replied to sornord's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
TRS engages the battery, TS can dribble away charge if what would be the ring, is not there to isolate +Vdc from the ground/return pin. Most all, if not all of our amps use TRS on the input to accommodate either one. TRS has become something of a de-facto standard for guitars with active powered circuitry since (at least) the mid 1970's (when I was doing guitar mod's with active, mostly battery powered) circuitry. -
Cannot Connect Variax to PC

Make certain there are no USB hubs connected. And what brue58ski said. -
Strange Noises coming out of my old Variax 700
psarkissian replied to Snackbar's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
Something I prepped for the Admin for the Knowledge Base for cleaning pots, switches and piezos,... Use cotton swabs, don't spray, just gunks things up. -
Variax JT batteries
psarkissian replied to NoCoolUserName's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Because they are not compatible. Return them. Two contacts on them??? Do Not use 3rd party or knock-offs, they are nothing but problems. They might say they are compatible, but they are not, don't use them. Use only the Line 6 version. -
