Segomil Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi ! Since i bought this Guitar the problem is still there (JTV-69 HSS Sunburst) The Alt Tune roller knob for easily accessing instrument sounds and alternate tunings (problems) ect ... WHAT IS GOING ON ? VIDEO UPDATE : OCTOBER 7 2015 VAriax=VArious problems here https://youtu.be/RDJFAqsnueo or here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDJFAqsnueo&feature=youtu.be **The Electronics seems to be a mess** ... the Variax is almost unusable ! I use the Variax very rarely ...this is why i am late to show all the mess on this Guitar JTV-69 ... **The Alternative Tuning doesn't work at all** ... the normal tuning is heard at the same time that i use all the alternatives tuning ( 2 string sound at the same time)...a mess that i can't fixe ! **The cap of the selective button has fallen to the ground for nothing** ... i fix it but at the same time, by pasting the selection Cape button, **I glimpsed that the pickguard is not well bonded and lets a lot of light of the electronics pass through** (just below the pickups selector) ... again shame on Line 6. **The Selective guitar button doesn't work at all** ... when i switch it off by pressing on, it stay illumined or it flash !? It's difficult to Switch it off or to Switch it On at the first try ... i have to try many time with a lot of patience !... its make me crazy: A LOT ! But the most strange thing OF ALL is that i do not have acces to monkey & TO my email adress in Line 6 website : WHAT IS GOING ON ! ... & we are on a ticket since 3 weeks : BRAVO ! Everything is up to date ... i even buy yesterday the line 6 hd fully loaded bundle thinking that maybe the problem could be solved : NO ! Video demonstration : Thanks Daniel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well that is dreadful...my sympathies. Sounds like you have the mag pickups blended with the modeling. Workbench can show you one way or the other if this is what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segomil Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I guess people who works at Line 6 have no such problems ... is that right? Thanks for your sympathies ! Anyway it's for sale now at Kijiji ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it's for sale now at Kijiji ! My point was that blending the models with the mag pickups is a feature of the guitar...it can be turned on or off, and this may have been enabled inadvertently. Your problem could have a very simple fix, so selling it off may be a bit premature. Plus, nobody will want a malfunctioning guitar. Try re-flashing the firmware, and when it asks you if you want to keep the existing models, say "no". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snhirsch Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'll second Cruisin's statement. Don't assume there's anything wrong with that guitar before you do a complete reflash. Do NOT pay any attention to mention of a built-in reset! That does not apply to the 2.x firmware. You need to connect to a computer and run Line6 Monkey.

shawnmx Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm just thinking of troubleshooting 101 here. The re-flash has already mentioned, and should be done. After that, test the alt-tuning function by plugging the guitar via 1/4" (not Variax) directly into an amp and then try it. This'll ensure that there's nothing like a Pod patch or something else engaging the modeling and magnetic pickups at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It really does sound like the mags are blended in with the models. You should check this with WB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segomil Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 HI I have to sell this Variax ...but not in this situation : i really need help ! My patience is over with the Variax product ! & it's impossible to send the guitar to a luthier because it's an electronic mess ! So i am stuck with it ... mmmm ? Oh man, YOUTUBE WILL BE MY FRIEND !
