faisal6863 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 got a jtv 69 about a week ago 1. plays almost ok in normal mode.. problem : the 1st E string has a bit lower in volume than all other strings) 2. in variax mode the 1st E and the 2nd B string volume is much lower .. say about 4 to 6 db.. 3. the 1st E string is the lowest.. 4. the 4th D string is a bit low too but workable.. 5. the 3rd G string is the loudest.. 6. ****** this is happening consistently across all the models********. now, i know string volume can be adjusted using workbench..but adjusting all the volume of all the strings across all the models is an unrealistic solution how do i make all the strings sound equal ??????? please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidtjb Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 My JTV-59 was doing the same thing and as of three hours ago the variax modeling quit working. I noticed the string volume about 10 days ago, then about a week ago I noticed a "sputter" when playing, I thought the 1/4" cable was going out so I replaced the cable but still had the random "sputter". I tried it with the variax cable to the HD500 and still had the random sputter. Well, a few hours ago the 3-way toggle quit working only on the variax modeling, it still works with the Mag PUPs. I re-flashed the firmware 3 times with no luck. When I connected to the Variax Workbench and played the guitar you could see on screen the guitar switching between the three positions of the model I had it on. I went through all the models and it did the same thing. That was the "sputter" that I have been hearing. The thing is I bought this guitar on March 27 of this year, so it's only a few months old and it's already having problems. I don't want to think about what will happen in a couple of years. From reading the forums it appears that the Variax is plagued with problems. Oh well. Live and learn I guess. I'm fortunate that I own other guitars so I won't be without one while I send this off to get fixed. But I feel bad for the people who sold their guitars to buy a Variax who are left with nothing when the guitar has to be sent off for repair.

Palico Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 1. You might want to post in the JTV section. 2. I thought in Workbench HD (Firmware 2.0 and up) there was a way to global adjust sensitivity, since I think FW 2.0 is thin and generally horrid, I stay on 1.9 so I'm not for certain on that.
