Variax 300 vs. JTV 69 modeling
psarkissian replied to p4player's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
What silverhead said, he knows his stuff. Nice thing about the X3 Live is that it connects fine to both. Own a 300 electric and a JTV-69 and they connect fine to X3 Live. Still use one at my bench at Line 6, because I can use it to test and check both original and current Variax guitars when I finish servicing them. The main difference is that the JTV-69 looks and feels more like a Strat than the 300 electric. Both play fine, I like and use them both when I record. -
Log a Support ticket in your account, they can tell you what your option are. "My JTV serial indicates 2020,... ", close,... early 2019. Stripped rod nut,... option-1, I would pull up the fret board and replaced the rod. By typically, they would have me do option-2,... just swap out the neck for another one, as it doesn't take as long waiting for the glue to dry on the fret board, for a rod replacement.

No diagram for the switch is available, intellectual property issues and such. But there is a pick-up connection diagram in the Line 6 Knowledge Base. Pick-up connect diagram is okay,.. the switch diagram itself is verboten. Check with Full Compass, may be a special order thru them for a 50-02-0121 switch.

Spider Valve 40w combo parts usable in an Spider Valve HD100 head?
psarkissian replied to indyj_son's topic in Spider Valve
First off,... keep your fingers out of the insides of it. Even with the power off, there some high volt capacitors in there, and it really hurts when you get zapped by them. Second, self repair of these tube amps is ill advised, unless you have lots of experience with these,... ... because third, if something goes wrong, it could get further damaged beyond anyone's ability to fix. https://line6.com/find/service_center/ , so go with the authorized service tech with experience with our products. "Can I scavenge parts like a control board or other things from the 40w combo to use in the HD100 head? "--- No. Different boards,... especially the main boards as they are programmed different for 112, 212 combos and the heads. And output load boards and UI boards are different. Combo parts are NOT interchangeable with head parts (and vice versa). "General oddness ",... when was the last time the tubes (valves) were replaced??? Are the specified 12AX7 pre-amp and matched quartet Sovtech 5881 medium tubes? -
JTV59 BATTERY ISSUE
psarkissian replied to drowner77's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Both batteries are -0009's,... Maybe the battery box. Have the 59 checked out at a Line 6 authorized service center. And if they want to pick my brain further, they can contact me thru our service tech channel. Thank you jerseyboy. -

JTV59 BATTERY ISSUE
psarkissian replied to drowner77's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Heat,... it can have some effect. Remember, you have 11 year old gear, and probably hasn't been serviced in some time. So more than likely your batteries are as old as well, as may be getting a bit spent by now. Even Li-Ion batteries need replacing at some point. -
JTV59 BATTERY ISSUE
psarkissian replied to drowner77's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
98-034-0009 is the current part number for batteries. Being what an early serial number it is, could be one or combination of what I listed. Triodo Service S.N.C. Via Caduti Di Nassiriya N .47 Bari, BA-70124 080/5013427 info@triodo.it ... would be the closest to you. -
JTV59 BATTERY ISSUE
psarkissian replied to drowner77's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
1-What are the last four digits on the battery part numbers? Could be it's time for newer more current ones. 2-Could be an issue with the battery box. 3-Some other thing deep inside pulling down current. More than likely #1. Contact the Line 6 authorized service in your area, they will have more experience with these. https://line6.com/find/service_center/ -
Will a POD HD500 not X power JTV-69?
psarkissian replied to Kenadams1's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
500 connects using the VDI port and VDI cable,... and will power the 69. But it can't be used as an interface for updating the 69. 500X connects and powers thru the VDI, connects to Monkey and Workbench HD app. -
Op-amp circuits in the guitar on a separate circuit board custom mod. Need someone good with op-amp circuits who knows how to buffer and impedance match the output, so that it can drive enough signal to whatever the effects or amp is,... without frying anything. Basically a booster circuit in the guitar. Or do the same, only with an external booster box, and a 9V battery. In both cases, using the 1/4" TRS output jack. Will need a custom guitar circuit person (someone other than me) who is up on this stuff.

Which voltage through TRS for Variax 500?
psarkissian replied to Khalm's topic in Variax Guitars / Bass / Workbench
Supply is 9V using battery power, XPS is the same. Inside, it sets-up what is need for the analog and digital circuits. But it isn't just the voltage. It has to be the correct current draw as well,... and each product has a different current draw. Best to get the correct Line 6 items for that. -
Early 2011. World Music, Korea.

First thing that comes to mind is the set-up, the pick-up-to-string distance. Solder point or (not very common) problem with the pick-up itself. Have it checked out at a Line 6 authorized service in your area.

"Regarding spare parts - I wonder if Line6 would sell to individual owners so they could perform their own work. " --- Some are available, some are not, and are acquired through Full Compass. Self repair is not a good idea with these, unless you have lots of experience at these.
