JTV-59 help to understand

[jcerrero]

I've bought a variax jtv59 model and I'm very excited about it. However, there is a point I can't understand so I wonder does somebody could help. The fact is everytime I change tune to 1/2 down, the sound gets octaved as it was in the 12 strings model for instance. Is it normal? Please help me! Thanks and regards from

Are you tuning down by the tuning feature or by physically retuning the strings?

 

It shouldn't do that. You might have the half step down tuning have parallel pitch on.

 

As for physically tuning, there is a limit of how low you can detune the strings until there's not enough tension for the piezo to pick up the vibrations properly, so if you're tuning down and it sounds weird you would need heavier gauged strings.

I found what the problem was. This effect only appears when I´m using the Guitar Rig interface for recording. I've tested pluging the guitar direct to the ampli and it's Ok. I don't know why indeed but it's probably related to digital issues.

 

suppose u solved it out, right?
