ThreeDogNate Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I bought a new JTV-89F from Sweetwater a couple of weeks ago and it's been great... BUT... Thursday I used it at rehearsal via VDI cable with my HD500X. About halfway through rehearsal the thing went dead. Red light on the Model knob and a Blue Light on the tuning knob. No sound from the Variax over VDI... check over 1/4" nothing... unplug and wait a few minutes made sure my battery was installed. But nothing but a clicking noise (Relay) from the Variax. No lights on the Variax knobs or anything... I've got a support call in at Sweetwater... hoping to just get a replacement since it's just been a couple of weeks. Anyone else have this issue? I've not turned up anything except one other thread that referenced a stuck model select knob... and I've confirmed that both knobs do not appear to be stuck in a pressed state.

ChrisCT Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Not sure about that, but I got my 89F right after new years, and I had to send it back to sweetwater. The 89F was being seen as a 59 by Workbench. Line6 Tech said it was the wrong board on the 89F. Sweetwater was great about the return. I'm hoping the new one will not have issues.

clay-man Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sweetwater is the best place to go for the Variax, so I've heard. They should always be up to work with someone getting a bad Variax, so just be patient and swap it for a proper working one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
