Connecting jTV to a keyboard with midi
psarkissian replied to danlee's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Use 1/4" inputs and the Tyros as an effects device,... looks promising. Start by trying the 1/4" Line In. -
Variax 300 sound turning off until I replug
psarkissian replied to Vx300's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
Are you using a cable with tip/ring/sleeve plugs on both ends? If so, then there is either a loose ground return or an intermittent solder point somewhere. If you don't know the insides of this product, then it's best leave it a Line 6 authorized service center. -
Spider II 212 weird whine/hiss issue
psarkissian replied to BigDLarry's topic in Spider I / II / III
Older product like that, probably likely it's an old and oxidized solder point on a surface mount component, allowing a partial ground lift, resulting in the clock frequency to demodulate into the audio band. Not a user repairable issue. Should be served at a Line 6 authorized service center that knows the product. -

Don't think that can be done, two different kinds of data. -
Charger or Battery Problem with Variax Standard
psarkissian replied to bclarke675's topic in Variax Standard
Either there is a loose connection inside, or the battery compartment on the guitar has failed. Log a support ticket from your account, sounds like it will need some servicing.- 5 replies

Variax 700 Acoustic Low-E String Volume
psarkissian replied to WildVines's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
The saddle is the chassis ground, there's probably some dirt in between. Cotton swab, 70% isopropyl alcohol,... drip it into the saddle, blow out dry with canned air. If that doesn't do it, there's a deeper problem and will need to be service by a Line 6 authorized service center. -

JTV89F selection switch
psarkissian replied to malriley's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Check the top left corner in Workbench HD to see what the guitar label is, to be certain it is correctly programmed for the guitar you have. -
JTV69s Pickup swap
psarkissian replied to jakeman19's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Looks good from the photos. Clean off any flux, check for solder beads and shorts. Plugin with a VDI cable, tap on the pick-up with a small screw driver (volume not too loud), tap on all tree pick-ups in all five toggle positions.- 1 reply

Removing Volume Knob - JTV-69
psarkissian replied to GeeTah's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Loose nut under the knob can result in an intermittent chassis ground, and that can lead to a host of minor issues. -
Yes. Never turn on an amp without a proper output load on it. Fuses will go open, more than likely the output transformer,... maybe the power transformer as well. Needs to be gone through by a Line 6 authorized service center, and have it checked through properly by a tech who knows the in's and outs of this product. Don't do this yourself , the shock hazard is too great. One slip-up and it hurts like hell if you get zapped.

Take the batteries out when using the external supply,... if I recall, page-4 of the manual on older Variax.

Variax 500 not visible in Workbench
psarkissian replied to carlsonic's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
Take the 500X out of the path. Use the interface device. HD-500X won't acknowledge old Workbench, only Workbench HD. -

Variax Acoustic - wrong note output
psarkissian replied to gasamuels's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
Original Workbench should be able to bring up the settings, then you can adjust them where you want them.
