" It is really the sound of the magnetic pickups coming through the speakers at the same time as the modelling is on "--- Magnetics are turned off when the Modeling is on and vice-versa. Yes, exactly. That is how it should be but it is not and hence all the posts reporting about it. I mean, I am open to be proven wrong and I wish the solution was as simple as fixing a "set-up issue". The height of the strings / pickups look good to me but I am willing to give it a try and lower the pickups. That way, the magnetic pull should not interfere with the vibrations of the strings. I will get back with the results.

Thanks for the quick reply! It's not the acoustic sound of the guitar. I cannot even hear that. It is really the sound of the magnetic pickups coming through the speakers at the same time as the modelling is on. The problem becomes more obvious when using alternate tunings. This has been reported already by other clients, for instance, this current post (more recently) or https://line6.com/support/topic/2382-variax-ghost-notes/ https://uk.line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/66211/ https://line6.com/support/topic/9837-my-new-jtv-69-has-bad-modeling/ Googling by "variax ghost notes" or "variax magnetic bleed" will lead to more results. Unfortunately, no post has given any proper solution to the problem. Some users even told they have contacted Line6 and Line6 being aware of the issue. I have tried the Variax Standard at my local music store and worked like a charm. But both JTV-69 I ordered online don't. Like in other posts, I can provide sound samples recorded directly (no mics) if necessary. Any help will be more than appreciated!

@smty627 any update regarding the ghost notes? How did the story end? I am asking because I bough two JTV-69 from different stores in the last month and both have the same issue (ghost notes, magnetic bleeding). I already returned the first one and I am on my way to return the second one as well :((
