paulbisson Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi all, For 2 days, the guitar has been majic, I love it. Playing with my band in rehersal last night, I went to change the Chamellion tone, then something went wrong! Some lights came on that were unsual, on the MCK, then I went to just go back to Les Paul setting, went to double check I was in tune and it stopped tuning, went to go to Open G, nothing, Back to normal , nothing. A Yellow symbol appeared in the middle of the MCK, a quick look at the manual said, there was something obstructing the strings, preventing the tuners to work, but there was nothing obstructing the strings. After the rehersal I raced home and looked up on this forum for some solution, and fundermentally, taking the battery out for 15 seconds, and replacing to seemed to work. I also put it on the charge over night. Another recheck this morning revealed it is working just fine again. Questions : Potential causes?? Any help? It might have been me touching the strings during the tuning, hence causing a short, or touching the bridge causing the Dark fire to think there was an obstruction on one of the strings,with this in mind, I will be carefull not to touch them, Question ; I:-k s this common? I hoped to get this guitar so I didn't need to cart around 3 plus guitars to each gig, but now I am thinking of taking it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raine Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi, Recently I see several things: -I have this symbol is appeared "| ll |" in yellow on the MCK guitar did not tunning. After some checking the battery had enough charge to do the job. After charging all work again. -If during the tuning you touch the strings and then stops the sound that allows a guitar check the point, the mechanics may be blocked. I had the problem twice with my sixth string. If you're lucky you scrape the strings and the tuning again. I am not lucky man that my mechanical blocked twice. When I start a new tuning, the engine running in a vacuum and makes a strange noise. When I try to move the mechanical with my hand it is very hard, I would not insist for broken nothing. The it becomes scary because you wonder if the guitar will work again! To solve the blackout to me, I request a new tuning, and while the motor turns in the void I activate the mechanical with hand. It hangs the engine and fits properly. After that I have had no problem with the tuning. But I am now careful to not disturb the guitar for the tuning and I verified FREQUENTLY the level batterry. Because if you play too long with your DF, or so if you tune it often and frequently and uses a mixture of pickup-Specific "piezo + pickup on phase" + the chameleon tone in rock for example, I see the battery decreases quickly. In drawing up the potential of the guitar autonomy does not exceed 4 or 5 hours. (as described above) If you have a long rehearsal with your band "full afternoon" or a major concert, it is wise to bring another Gibson with you. -1 Load the DF, and tune it under the first songs played before leaving. -2 Predict another Gibson, a case of low battery or blocking DF. But if you use more different tuning on the same set that may pose a future problem. In repetition nothing serious. But in concert disaster, if the DF has a problem and that you should tune your other guitar in hand... Unable between songs there should be a plan B. The public can not wait for your troubles. I hoped to get this guitar so I didn't need to cart around 3 plus guitars to each gig, but now I am thinking of taking it back. I also think the same in the first time. Since I have a hardcase has taken over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronical.member Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 - Yellow dot matrix on the MCK = immediate charge required - NEVER touch the pegs during robotic tuning - NEVER fret a string during robotic tuning (unless you knoww what you are doing) - Make sure to have the guitar completely charged prior to a gig or rehersal session Tronical You play. We tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbisson Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 I had to take the Guitar back, for a refund, it was just too unliable for a gig guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raine Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I do not understand why? Once the function property acquired, if you paid attention to what we have said earlier, the guitar works very well. I've already served a live several times and all is well, an odd effect to the public forefront when he sees the guitar tunning alone. No worries with my chameleon tone quine never been a problem.

paulbisson Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 With the guitar fully charge (battery) I still had it Freeze on me.... when I was changing strings, and no battery changin or charging could remidy the situation. I had to play a gig that night, and I need a working guitar, it had to go. I took it back and got a beautiful 335, in its place, I am very happy with the new guitar, Maybe the Dusk Tiger is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
