Distortion has vanished on all presets

[LuciferHimself]

ok i did backup system and reset parameters. Its still the same. i dont think its the cable. Lemme check that as well

 

[Manny Fufish]

Try different cable, different guitar, and check instrument input level in the I/O settings.

 

[LuciferHimself]

instr input level is 49.8%. Im getting irritated now. I even tried restoring it to factory settings but nothing changes.

 

[LuciferHimself]

ok one question. In I/O on page X/Y it says X Quick jump assign set to Amp1 and Y QUick jump assign is set to Amp1 as well?? Could you guys check those in your axe?

Same here. Did you try different cable and different guitar? Coincidence can be a troubleshooting nightmare.

 

[LuciferHimself]

i dont have access to one right now but leme do that and get back. Its frustrating :s

 

[MrGuitarabuse]

You dont by any chance have active pickups on your guitar? If the battery run dry, it might cause something similar to this.

 

[rickboot]

Did you have active pickups? If so, check batteries or a different guitar.

 

[LuciferHimself]

the point is that i didnt even do anything. I didnt use my axefx for about 10 - 12 days and now when i turned it back on, the distortion was gone. I updated it to 5.01 and thought it might fix this problem but it didnt.

 

[LuciferHimself]

yes it could be the guitar. Im gonna check it up thanks guys will get back soon

 

[LuciferHimself]

yes it could be the batteries.

 

[DonPetersen]

yes it could be the batteries.

did you use EVIL batteries?

 

[vAmp]

The Axe-Fx II detects evil and thwarts it.

You mean 5.01 has a secret Kemper blocker...? I guess that wouldn't be too difficult...

 

[LuciferHimself]

hey guys thanks for your help and yes it was the battery

 

[symphx]

Hahaahahha , * while falling down from my chair *.................................hahahah

I have read this whole topic fully interested and than comes the slot..............hahaha BATTERY..........By now Cliff can be completely grey haired .............

Anyhow , thanks for the fun !

 

[javajunkie]

yeah, in all our troubleshooting. We forgot to ask what do your input levels read

 

[LuciferHimself]

yes thats right. The input levels were quite low. I should have mentioned that....my bad I left the chord in when i left the studio and i completely forgot about that it could be the battery. Thats what happens when you play a guitar with no active pickups for too long :s

 

[chris]

can you update the thread title with "Solution: Dead guitar battery" or something like that?

 

[nateb]

I have noticed this with Seymour Duncan Blackouts. They sound better but, are less forgiving when it comes to batteries. It seemed like with EMG's you could substitute the battery with a shunt and they would still work.
