    Sounds weird to me. Does the indicator knob near the battery enlights 3-4 LEDs? Do you have a 1/4" mono-jacked cable inserted.

    Hi. Just in case anyone like to have models of JTV-59' magnetic-pickups, here is my first try. This gives you the possibility to switch to custom-tunings with the sound of your mags. Of course the tone-results may differ from guitar to guitar, but with my '59 I am 95 % there. 2017-01-01 JTV59-ModeledMags.zip content of the ZIP-file are three presets, no bank or bundle HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

    Oh no, I can exclude that because it was the first thing I tested, after being aware of the ringing ;) I will get back to you after some major investigations…
  4. Smashcraaft
    The nut could be a good place to start investigations because there is also some ringing sound on or near the nut on the g-string. I will take a closer look using my ears and a magnifying glass.

    Has anyone a tipp for fixing the G-string on a unmodified JTV-59. Everytime I bend, it noticeable loses some cent. Maybe there are some kind of seashells to use or a hack on the tuners? Of course I had bent the string after putting on new strings, two weeks ago.

    Need some help

    OP, why do you ask your questions three times? :/

    Hey, Nico. I do not know why you deleted your guess but you where nearby. Some minor adjustments to the tone of the reverb and amp-wise, switched to Drop-D and… magic :rolleyes: Thank you very much! and of course I delete your quote, if you like

    Hi everybody! Who can guess which signal chain was chosen to create this chunky sound, I really love? Chime Based on* 1966 Rickenbacker® 370 Middle Pickup http://line6.com/variax-modeling-guitars/sound/

    Do you know the Peter Hammer Videos about dialing out fizz using the PEQ?

    Sorry, I was a bit in a hurry. Nope meant, that there is no blending value added. Mags are at 0,0. But it is no problem at all. Just a meaningless miss-indicating light,which can easily be overwritten pushing the modeling-knob and saving the patch,without any change in tone.
  11. Smashcraaft
    Try using Lowpass/ Highpass on global EQ (100 Hz - 5500 kHz). If it works try to roll out similar settings per patch.
  12. Smashcraaft
    1: Nope 2: I use setlists for a traditional e-guitar and my Variax, su unfortunately going global is no option 3: Thank you nevertheless

    I should have mentioned that I was using a VDI RJ45 connection. The thing is, that I can hear, that I am using the mags but somehow the light indicates usage of modeling. If I press the modeling knob the sound does not change at all but the POD indicates a change to save. After saving the patch the light stays off, so no big problem but still a mystery.
  14. Smashcraaft
    Weird... took me a while to understand, that correct selection of the input-path depends on the "cable". So Mags can be configured "Variax", which always means VDI-connection but you can drive the magnetic-PUs via input "guitar" as well. So if I choose to play a Variax f.e. via Relay G10 the only working input is "guitar", no matter that you play a Variax with mags or modeling. Same on a Variax connected via 1/4 cable. So it's the cable type connection you define, not the type of sound source. And to answer my Mags-fallback question: Mags-fallback only works on "guitar" (cable or wireless) just because in case of VDI there is no need for a fallback (battery is unused). But I'm still unsure about the knob-thing described above.

    Did you open a support-ticket?

    Turn all knobs to zero, except the master-volume, which indicates your monitoring-level. Do not save the patch with those so reduced knobs! Recall the patch. This protects knobs from being tickled somehow by minimal vibrations or things like that.
  18. Smashcraaft
    Okay... I found out, that pushing the enlighted model-knob not only disables the knob-LED but causes an * on HD Edit, too. After sending the patch, the LED remains disabled. But I am still unsure what is happening?!

    Hi. I switched from Variax 600 to JTV-59 TSB and find some problems for which I hope somebody can enlighten me. Using input 1 "Variax Mags" and input 2 "Variax" seems to lift the signal, so I have chosen "Aux" on second input path. Same on all patches which are using the modeling exclusively (bank 2). I use just one centered path, so path B is muted at all. But there are questions appearing... is "Aux" the best choise for a deaktivated signal-path? what happens in case 2 when I play 1/4 and batteries are weak? Is there still a mags-fallback, even if the second input is deactivated? My first bank is optimized for the mags. My 2nd bank is optimized for modeling. Both banks are configurated path-wise as described above... ...but why is the modeling-knob on the JTV enlighted, when I chosse patch C and D in my 1st bank? They seem to be configurated the same way as A and B :wacko: In my 2nd bank it is patch B where the light is off :unsure: :wacko: :blink: I am really confused at the moment :mellow: This behavior can be reproduced with or without USB/HD Edit connection.

    There are many videos on you tube showing the standard tones. Please compare those to yours first.
  21. Smashcraaft
    Go Variax ;)
  22. Smashcraaft
    Thank you. Might be useful because of the poor design of the USB power-connector, which will surely break right after end of warranty.
  23. Smashcraaft
    It's not a matter of income, more of ethic and moral. To be honest I could afford a Variax / Helix-Bundle every month but that's not my style of doing thing (nore am I good enough to justify such spendings). I love my POD because it works for me and if it would break today I would get another one tomorrow. But I like the idea to play loved physical instruments a lifetime and I'm esoteric enough to believe, that these wood with strings attached recognizes my love and gets some good tone and inspiration back ;)
  24. Smashcraaft
    Are you able to ducument this taking some photos of the procedure?
  25. Smashcraaft
    For me and for many other guitar-players a very good and pretty guitar, which is fitting every need is so much more than a device. In the best case is it something I love and something that is getting even better by age. I could compare this to a good wife if this comparison would withstand reality. But to stay in that comparison... why don't spent good matured mama a pair of nice new ... from time to time?
