rwinking Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I can get most of the models on my JTV 59 to sound pretty good. I do have a question about the "squank" on the 12 string models and sometimes on a few others. I assume you guys know what I mean....no matter how I pick on the 12 string, there is this little "Squank." It is mostly on single note stuff. On a chord it is much less noticeable. Any ideas?

psarkissian Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Acoustic 12-string whistling howl would be tuning or intonation needs to be dialed in. Warbling is a result of pick-up height adjustments. Sometimes referred to as zwiggabibble or squank. And Squonk is a song by the band Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psarkissian Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I hear the term squank every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonSom1976 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I by myself managed meanwhile to dial in a good tone with the Martins by using EQs (and the Preamp) on the Helix. But I hear something strange using the F212 - do you mean that? Also I like the magnetic pickups of my JTV 69 S TS more than the Spank-Model.

rwinking Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 My JTV59-US has P90s and I have found that the Special is pretty spot on if I go back and forth between the mags or the digital. I think there is something about the digital not being able to do the upper octave on the low strings when doing either the acoustic or electric 12 string. I don't hear it much in the high strings or if I "capo" up to the 5th string on a 12 string model. I play it everyday but have not gigged on it as I am trying to program my Helix rack with the Variax. I know that I can use the guitar sounds (along with one "normal" guitar) but putting the Variax in setlists is taking some time to learn.

psarkissian Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The Workbench HD app is good for dialing in patches to where one likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
