danlee Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 So, my e string sounds low volume. Im using pod xt live. It can't be sorted out by lowering the other strings. The signal is just weak as well. Im in Bulgaria, no service there. Also saving from workbench to the JTV is not working by HD. Using a mini laptop. To weak? What can I do.. Order some parts? Which, where..

Which, where.. It's probably the piezo. Try looking here: www.fullcompass.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertokia Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Try cleaning all the piezos with alcohol/cotton swab...if that doesn't fix it, you may need a new piezo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlee Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks a lot! How, where I find the piezo? By removing the sadle? I dont have an idea what it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have an idea what it looks like The saddle itself is the piezo. The inner part, where the string actually rests, that is. String tension is the only thing keeping it in place. Remove the string and it'll be obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlee Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 So if nothing Works one has to help himself right. Here's the solution. In fact worth a lot of money. TURN THE PIEZO 180 degree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 This is an old post of mine to show where to clean the piezos. The base of the pocket that the piezo sits in is how the piezo element contacts ground. So you want to clean underneath it. Just put the red straw that all these sprays come with as close to under the piezo as you can get (but be gentle. Watch out for the piezo's wire.) and spray. Keep a paper towel with you to wipe off the residue and then wait about two minutes for the rest of it to dry. Here's a picture. Notice when you take the strings off, the piezo is kind of loose in the pocket it's in. I spray in the two places indicated by the arrow in the picture. The arrow pointing up is where I can get a little under the piezo with the spray to clean it out. This is the best stuff for this https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-D5S-6-DeoxIT-Contact-Cleaner/dp/B00006LVEU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=deoxit&qid=1563284355&s=gateway&sr=8-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 The lollipoping thing won't last. Opened it up, sprayed the piezo and the sound was great. Till next day. Again business as usual. Low e string volume. Also I hear the pick up string sound in the same time. So impossible with alternate tunings. What a horrible line6 service network. No repair anywhere whatsoever.

danlee Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Total blame on me! Opened up the wire section in the back. Dustbin! After blowing with compressor: AWESOME SOUND :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
