markcsb Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have a Variax Std. just recharged the battery and cannot turn on the modelling. tried connecting to computer - guitar not connecting. The battery is showing charged (string lights on rear) - but the 'modelling switch' does not turn on. pick ups work fine - the modelling does work - either as stand alone or via computer. Any suggestions Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Not turning on Models using battery and 1/4",... 1- Use a guitar with a TRS plug, it's an active circuit guitar. 2- Could be the 1/4" jack in the jack plate, that would require a trip to the service center. 3- Could be a problem with the battery compartment power circuit, intermittent solder point sending a false "low battery" signal to the main board, in spite of all the LED's on the indicator. That too would require a trip to the service center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psarkissian Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Use the TRS, it works better. Tip = signal Ring = +Vdc Sleeve = ground return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
