This sounds very interesting! I assume you mean one of the covers on the back? is it the bottom left, bottom middle, bottom right or top right? Or several of them? Thanks, photo below.

I’m convinced it’s a software issue because if you roll back it’s not there! If enough of us complain maybe they would do something about it?

Hi guys, sorry for taking a couple days to get back to these new replies. to be honest I had given up on it but would love it to be fixed. i still have the guitar but don’t play it much partly because of the click noises we are talking about. one thing that I always wondered was that if you go back to 1.9 and it’s fine, then doesn’t that point to a software issue? If it can be fixed by different software then wish they would fix it!

I found this fthis version 2 onwards: “Variax HD is a free firmware upgrade for all James Tyler® Variax® guitars. Variax HD delivers a world-class collection of HD guitars rebuilt from the ground up using Line 6's next-generation modeling technology. The team captured more detail than ever before, resulting in unprecedented sonic character and a more natural playing experience. From rare vintage electrics to classic acoustics and exotics, each HD instrument delivers superior articulation and exceptional feel - prefect for capturing inspired performances.”

Hi, yeah I could roll back to 1.9, but aren’t the sounds better in 2.0? I thought I read the sounds were updated for 2.0 or am I imagining it? I can’t do the service thing because my guitar is now 3 years old so definitely not under warranty.

Hi srvtsk, No unfortunately I never solved it and just gave up! Have not tried looking deeply into the grounding problem though. Would seem strange that it were a grounding problem if it only happens on some models? Would love to know if anybody finds a fix as it puts me off playing it.

Hi there, It's not the bridge pieces because you can literally move your thumb/fingers over the strings as light as a feather and you get the intermittent click noises.

Hi guys, I phoned Line 6 support here in the UK & they tested there support guitars and they confirmed they have exactly the same problem with there 2.0 guitar, not with the older, so they suggest it is a problem with 2.0 and it would be up to Line 6 in the USA to solve the problem with a software update. I guess what we need to do is have as many of us as we can emailing line 6 support to point out the problem and get the tide of complaint enough for them to fix it. I shall do this myself & please everybody else do the same!

Hi there, I have Static/Clicking noise on jtv59p when playing with fingers For me it is most evident while quietly finger-picking on the acoustic and rockabilly models. It is definitely since v2 as I have tried going back and forward between 1.9 and 2 and it is not there in 1.9. I have seen it on a couple of jtv59p models (they are the only ones I have played). It is completely different to piezo quack, it is more of a static/clicking noise when playing quietly with fingers. I have noticed it is not there when using a plectrum, just my fingers, especially my thumb. Makes me wonder if it is a ground/electrical problem? (Complete guess). Considering returning the guitar and giving up as it is very annoying and has been on all the ones I have tried. I am vey surprised not many people have complained. Thanks,
