danlee Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 If connected by Jack to any PA my JTV does a loud SSSSHHHHHH. When in pick up mode. 2 years ago the cap covering the VDI input broke, so its always open. Maybe it's full of dust now? How to clean? Thanks!

You might want to try just blowing some compressed air in it first. But if I'm reading this right, I don't think that would be the issue if I understand you correctly.

danlee Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yea I tried contact spray but without compressing air in first. I will try that. Meanwhile setting NR noisereduction to about 1/3-1/2 helps a lot. Boss gt1 But anyway, the modelled sounds sounding less then the pick up sounds. Might one mix them more and buy workbench HD. With workbench it can be done very well but not saved( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well, workbench is actually free for Variax owners and can be saved to the guitar directly along with modifying the Variax directly within the patch on Helix. In fact you can switch between the mags and the models or use both at the same time in Helix. This would be a good test to determine if there is more damage to the VDI ingterfcae to the guitar than initially thought. If Helix or workbench can't communicate or see the guitar than there is a bigger problem with the interface especially after cleaning contacts.
