aed1421 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 More and more I am experiencing a drop out of output/volume from the bridge pickup (toggle down). It stays weak for a bit and then after a few seconds I get full output again. It happens with happens with the magnetics as well as the piezo’s. Luckily I have gotten it to come back to full output after a toggle up and down and wait a bit. Any thoughts on what is going on here?

silverhead Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The symptoms suggest it’s just a faulty switch rather than a fault with the Variax electronics because both mags and piezos are affected. That’s a good thing. You can probably just have the switch replaced by any guitar tech, although there may be some special Variax considerations in doing so. I would open a support ticket for clarification and advice. Edit: It might even be as simple as a bit of dust/dirt in the switch. Try using some contact cleaner. Use the proper stuff - not a household product like WD-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Yes that looks like it would be OK to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aed1421 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Can't open a ticket becuase the drop down box does not have the JTV59 as an option and using "other" choice and then entering the serial number doesn't work either.

psarkissian Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Position of pick-up height to strings or a solder point in the toggle assembly.
