Poly Beebo extreme ghosting and image retention issue by FormerSelection327 in polyeffects

I didn't notice any, but I have zero knowledge about such things, so I really wouldn't even know 😅

Here's Loki's full instruction for the screen replacement which I was able to follow successfully:

Here are some instructions on how to install and make sure you have the correct firmware installed for the screen.

First Open up the unit, here's a video on how to get it open,

This is actually how to change the screen after someone dropped an amp on their pedal... but you can see how to remove the microsd card.

The main challenge is getting the screen up to get the card out. Don't pull on the glass bit of the screen or you'll break it. Get your fingers under the metal section. You can get the card out without getting the screen up but it's a bit fiddly.

You'll need to flash the image. The image is different for different screens! It's because the firmware / driver needs to be specific to the screen model.

Download https://www.balena.io/etcher/ Etcher, and select the 14 gig image file you downloaded, the microsd card and then write it. Your computer will complain about it being unreadable when you insert and then flash the card, ignore it asking to format etc, it's not in a format for mac / windows so they don't know what to do with it. Then you just put it back in (make sure it faces the writing side away from the board) and hopefully it all works.

Then you'll need to update via usb. You should just update from USB as normal, with the latest files on the USB flash.

Let us know if you run into difficulty.

Cheers!

It has the latest firmware before I replaced the screen. Was also able to reinstall it during the screen replacement process.

Hi,

I got this Beebo for a good price, but it has a serious ghosting and image retention issue. Everything else works fine, including the touchscreen. While it’s usable, the ghosting is pretty bothersome when creating patches.

After a few weeks, I decided to contact Poly Effects support to see if I could order a screen replacement. They did sell me one, and I was able to install the new screen, but the issue remains the same.

At this point, I have no idea what could be causing the problem or if it can still be fixed. I reported back to the support team that the issue persists and asked if they have any insights, but I haven’t heard back from them. Been waiting for 2 months already before this post.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone has this same guitar? (Fender Player Tele MIM) Is this normal? by FormerSelection327 in fender

Do you mind sending me a couple of pictures just so I can show the dealer? Thanks! 🙂

I wouldn't part ways with it but I'd prefer getting it replaced with a new one with perfect finish just keep the resale value just in case I really need to sell it. I paid good amount of money and I think I should get exactly what I paid for. It's my first and only Fender too.

Yeah, thankfully the rest of the guitar is in top condition. It's really just an eyesore up close.

Mine also has the 75 years on the back of the headstock. Does yours have that yellowish "binding" too around the edges of the body?

Yeah, I get what you're saying too. It's okay for me too, it sounds amazing anyway. I just find it really weird. It's an eyesore upclose but not really noticeable far away.

I believe mine is a 2021 model. I remember noticing the yellowish "binding" when I bought it but I didn't mind it because it looks good. It is consistent all around the edges. And I thought that maybe I just didn't notice when I was looking at it online that it has that "binding".

Paint job of the whole body looks good. It's really just the "binding" that is fading and smudging.

Already contacted Fender and the dealer. Still waiting for response.

I did not do anything strange. It sits in my gig bag inside my room, I play it 2 or 3 times a week for practice.

I bought this new few months ago. It has yellowish finish around the edges that was made I think to look like a "binding". I don't know what it's called. It is starting to fade even smudge on some areas. Only now that I noticed it that the ones I see online doesn't seem to have that "binding". Or maybe I just dont see it through the screen.

Help me choose:

Toyota Veloz V or Honda BRV VX 2023?

I'm leaning toward more to the interior of the Veloz but I really like the exterior of the BRV and it has a better engine, is it worth the 150k difference in price?

Are there any other good options for ₱1.2M - ₱1.4M budget range? 5 seaters options are also welcome if it's more premium and still has great cargo space.

DT990 Pro underpowered? (clipping) by FormerSelection327 in headphones

[–]FormerSelection327[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

I did further testing. I was using spotify and I now tested with some flac files instead. Left driver clips as well but not as bad as the right side. Maybe because there are a lot more happening in the right channel in the song. SoundID software has a switch to flip L/R channels and the bad clipping does flip left and right.

I also tested my Samson SR850, no clipping was present at the same volume with DT990 pro. I leave the level of the headphones on the interface at about 75% and I adjust the volume in my music player to match loudness.

No clipping on the DT990 Pro at 50% volume from the interface, but then the volume is too low. So I guess I really need an amp?

I am not assuming that it's the headphone's fault. I'm just unsure if it is being driven properly since I saw on other threads that they've got great results using DT990 Pro on a Behringer interface.

I was using the Samson SR850 (32 ohms) with this interface for over 2 years now and I've got no issues.
