Yes - typo - meant to say if plugged into an amp and using it as is without the models every string is clear as a bell. I'll try cleaning as you've suggested - it'll be this weekend before I have time.

I haven't performed the cleaning step - I'll give it a try but it seems very strange that cleaning it would have anything to do with it if the strings all sound normal except for when using the modeling - ie if plugged into an amp and using it as is with the models every string is clear as a bell.

I have a similar problem with a JTV-89F but with the "A" string - I thought I had the problem resolved but it's back again. I have noticed that if I have the guitar plugged into an amp without turning on the modeling all the strings are even / balanced. As soon as I turn on the modeling the "A" string has less output/volume. All the others remain as they should. I've checked all the global volume settings and everything is set to 100%. Did you ever figure out what was causing this for you?

Thank you - I just found what was causing the issue after rolling back to the oldest firmware and then installing the latest firmware. There was a setting in the Menu called "Global String Settings" and the "A" string was 1db off from all the others. Unfortunately I don't think we have a Line 6 authorized service center here in Okinawa...looks like Tokyo is the closest...I guess I could have sent it through the postal system.

I appreciate the advice - I'll give it a try but changing the toggle positions doesn't seem to have an affect on the "A" string's volume regardless of which model I try. It does change the sound...just not the volume. I'll take it to a local guitar shop and ask them to take a look if I can't figure it out. It was definitely an interesting hour or two just tunning it for the first time after I put the strings on. I watched about 10 or 15 different videos on setting up a guitar with the Floyd Rose Tremolo.

I'm new to electric guitars and got a used (JTV-89F) from a musician who barley played it. It looks like it just came out of the original box. I restrung it with new strings just to ensure it was ready to play and have it paired with a Boss Katana 50 MK II (sorry - it was the best amp available locally in Okinawa ;) ). I'm pretty sure I reset it to factory defaults following the steps outlined in the forums. I rolled it back to the original firmware and then updated it to the latest. The Line 6 Monkey shows all updates current. When I strum the guitar it sounds great/awesome - when I pick the strings individually the "A" string just sound like it has lower output/volume regardless of which selector I have it on or which model I play. I've tried multiple settings - even tried modifying just the "A" string with the Workbench HD and nothing seems to help. At first I thought it was the pickup but then it seems if that were the case I would get different results when I change the selector switch from 1 - 5. Appreciate any feedback/recommendations.
