My JTV-59 was delivered about a month ago and the more I used it the more I realized that anything after Drop-D tuning on the selector nob was useless.
I was getting very loud ghost notes from the high E and B strings and none of the positions sounded anywhere as good as the standard and Drop-D tunings in any of the models.
I put a dampener under the strings behind the top nut and that did little to help. I also adjusted the string volumes in Workbench HD.
The problem was getting worse so I called Line-6 and the only thing they had for me was to re-flash which I did several times and it didn't help.
Because I'm on the road my incredible friends at Sweetwater sent me a replacement Overnight to the location I'm at. I received it and after the rehearsal I had
this afternoon I unpacked the new guitar and put my fully charged battery in it and what a surprise I got. It was worse than the original. The ghost notes were louder than the note it should have been playing. I have it plugged directly into my amp with no effects. I cant believe Line-6 is letting something like this get to the shelves. I know the replacement is from the same stocking shipment as the original guitar. I'm wondering if Line-6 in Korea ended up with a batch of bad circuit boards and used them anyway.
I love everything about the original guitar so I'm probably gonna send back the replacement.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
