I hadn't thought about that, but i'll try it.  Thanks!  If it works I'll post a follow up video as well. 

Hey Pol2711, you were right on the money.  I rolled my JTV back to 1.9 and the tone has returned.  The modeling is so much closer to the magnetics now...just like I remembered it.  

Thanks again for the tip, I owe you a beer.

roll back to firmware 1.9 and try again. Had the same problem with firmware 2.x and above. Rolled back tot 1.9 and my spank models were back. What it is, I don't know. Unfort you will losse the workbench HD functionality.

 

Maybe you can try this, just my 2 cents

I made a quick video demonstrating the difference I am hearing between the Piezo and Magnetic Pickups.  Again, I don't remember there being such a big difference between the 2 with the guitar magnetics and the Strat model.  Maybe it's my imagination but the B and high E stings sound very dull and lower volume than before.  The demo was done using the #4 position on a Strat for all.  The only thing different is that I pressed the modeling knob to engage the modelong and pressed it again to use the magnetic pickups. 

BTW: This demo was done after I re-installed everything on my JTV-69 as per the suggestions in this post previously. 

When I first received my JTV69, the difference between the piezo modeling and the magentic pickups was so close to being the same.  After a few years of plenty of gigs my modeling tones have lost a ton of high end.  The difference between the piezos and magnetics is huge now.   

What can I do to restore the original shimmer and detail of the modeling tone?  is this an easy maintenance issue?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
