Woodstack Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Jtv69 Tuning Selector Problem. Hi I'm having problems with the tuning selector. When I select Standard tuning I get Drop D tuning and often the tuning seems to flicker between drop D and standard while the indicator flickers with clicking sound heard through my amplifier. When model tuning is selected it works in standard tuning only (eg, Custom 2 model with open A tuning plays as standard tune). Tunings from 1/2 down through to baritone seem fine. When turning the dial from drop D to standard or standard to drop D the dial does not light up although it does when switching between any of the other tuning selections. The dial does light when switching from model to standard and from 1/2 down to drop D. Fault is the same with VDI cable as well as 1/4" cable and with or without battery. When connected to POD HD500 with VDI cable I find that selecting custom tuning on the POD works ok. Firmware when this first occurred was 2.10. I have tried updating to 2.21, reflashing as 2.10 and as 1.90 and have restored all the factory presets each time. Can you suggest anything I can do to fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Since it works correctly when selected from the POD, I suspect that either the selector is bad or there is a bad connection on the cable between it and the main board. You will most likely need to send it to a service center. (after checking for loose connectors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustratingly, after spending hours re flashing it and checking connections, etc. it started working perfectly five minutes after posting the problem and raising a ticket with Line 6. Hopefully it stays ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I hope your problem is resolved permanently! I have a similar problem but with the modeling knob. I'm sending my guitar in to a service center tomorrow. I'll be sure to refer to this topic and suggest checking connections of the ribbon cables inside the unit if a pot replacement doesn't help out. Thank you for reporting back with information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
