mferrand Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hey All, Is there any way to adjust the volume of the individule strings. The low 'E' on my JTV59 seems to have less volume then the others. If I turn up the bass on my amp it affects all the strings which I don't want. I thought there might be an internal adjustment.

LarryLion Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Try using a string with higher steel content, failing which, a higher gauge, or raise the action on that string slightly, or a combination of all three (steel+gauge+action).

LarryLion Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Damn, I should have added, that's for the mag pickups. If you are just using modeling, I'm not sure my suggestion will make any difference at all - you might find something in the Variax WB software, cannot remember.

rlumpkin Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 There is a universal string volume setting in the Variax workbench for the modeled tones (Larry is correct). This will apply for all models - unfortunately you can't set up different volumes for different models. I wish I could set up a five-string, "blues-G" tele for Keith Richards' songs by setting the 6th string to 0 volume, but this currently isn't an option.

mferrand Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 To All, Yes - this is for modeled versions. I was hoping maybe on one of the boards there were six tiny adjustments! Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Keith Richards you could (virtually) tune the sixth string up to G and the rest to regular open G. That way, if you hit the low E string while doing Rolling Stones impressions it will sound pretty much the same - better for that use than the standard low "D" in open G tuning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delahoya Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Any solutions... I have the same problem on my JTV-59.... Low E less volume than the others. Please help?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorneven Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 In Workbench HD, pulldown menu Edit > Global String Levels. AS has been said previously, that adjustment is for models (string saddle piezo pickups), not the magnetic pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Any solutions... I have the same problem on my JTV-59.... Low E less volume than the others. Please help?? Individual string volumes are changeable, either globally or on a per model basis, in HD Workbench. If your low E is not loud enough with all 6 string volumes set to 100% (which is the default), then you could try lowering the others to compensate, until everything evens out. Will likely be a trial and error thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could set up a five-string, "blues-G" tele for Keith Richards' songs by setting the 6th string to 0 volume, but this currently isn't an option. With Workbench HD you can set individual string volumes for each model - and that allows you to set the low E string to zero volume so it can't be heard if you so wish. You have to be on firmware v2.0 or v2.1 for Workbench HD. If you are on v1.9 or lower then you have to use the old Workbench which does not allow you to do this.

delahoya Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I solved my problem. In another post someone mention "be sure to put the fat side of the string facing up" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You'll have to explain that one to me... my strings are round in profile and don't have a "fat side" :huh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinon2 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Found the thread still not sure what they are talking about http://line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/79793 That's because it doesn't make any sense. I've been looking at guitar string for 25+ years. They're round...round things don't have "sides". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
