AlfonsMallgan Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I have a Line 6 Standard Variax-guitar which I bought from a private person some time ago. However, the battery driven pickup of the thick sixth string does not work. It does not catch the string vibrations. What to do? Try factory reset and/or firmware update? I live in Sweden.

cruisinon2 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It's not likely a software problem, so resetting, and/ or reflashing the firmware probably won't help. You can try cleaning around/underneath each individual bridge saddle... the ground connection for the piezo saddles relies on solid contact with the bridge itself. If there's a bunch of accumulated dust and crud under there, then that connection can be interrupted. If that doesn't help, then that individual piezo is dead and will need to be replaced, and it's time for a service ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Try alcohol on a cotton swab, drip it onto the piezo, then blow it clear with canned air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
