audiotechnician Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I just bought a Laney VC-30 210, a really clear sounding amp that has highlighted an issue with my JTV59. When I first power up the guitar using the PUPS the top end clarity, especially on the bridge PUP is superb and bright but switching the Variax cct. on and off makes the PUP top end clarity go dull like using the tone knob. Removing and restoring power, (i.e. pulling the jack plug out and in as I dont use a battery), cures the problem until I use the Variax cct. again. Has anyone else noticed this problem or is it my guitar at fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Has this always been the problem? Are you using the HD 2.0 firmware or old firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstar1960 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am confused by your post. What is a Variax cct? How can you switch anything on if you are not using a battery with the JTV59? Surely, no battery means you can only use the JTV59 as a standard guitar with mag pick ups, and you cannot switch on any of the Variax circuitry. Please can you clarify? Thanks.

audiotechnician Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Found that "bright" sound on passive PUPs occurs initially after switching on the mains power supply but stops after using Variax active electronics, doesn't do it with the battery, thanks for comments.
