    This is THE FIRST modlisation guitar. It is made in Korea, it uses wood equivalents of those guitars under license or some kind Epiphone Squier, gave an ide of the quality of violin making. A round mat, 22 frets, no pickups apparent, everything is in the bridge (but not a piezo). Rglagles worthy of a telecaster: one volume, one Tone.

A round mat, 22 frets, no pickups apparent, everything is in the bridge (but not a piezo). Rglagles worthy of a telecaster: one volume, one Tone. The five positions slecteur reminds one of a stratum, it seems of good quality.
    The mcaniques oil bath are also reliable. Brief on the CHARACTERISTICS al the equivalent of a guitar 500 euros, the electronic diffrence prs has nothing to do: two jacks, one for a jack Stereo (yes you read that right!) and the other hidden by a plastic cap to allow the APRS Line6 updates. Moreover, the troisime knob to select the custom presets are two areas likely to store two new sounds.

    First contact, the stick is fine. If the design of the guitar lovers will frmir gibson beautiful violin, one feels trs comfortable as a good standard fender.
    In fact the guitar lacks personality but no default Submitted significant, it is lgre, easy to play, the finish is perfect. The sound as it surprises. One would expect a lag well as a MIDI guitar but is not a MIDI guitar! The more difficult it is to ignore the lack of corrlation between the violin and its product. That produce sounds fender still happening, one of his Les Paul pais the limit, but that of an L-5 3 / 4 body fucks a bad, those of a more sound .. .

    For a list of presets see the site, any Manir I think that those who consult this notice are wondering how the sound can be modlises Fidler on guitar. First I want to talk REALLY prciser that the sound quality should be good in all styles: blues, rock, rockabilly, funk, jazz, jazz-rock, pop, metal, country . This is not my case, so we test the guitar two, but one amp electric. Moreover, the comparison is meaningful only when the guitars well connate origin. I had a telecaster 90, a strat rdition 57, an epiphone 3 / 4 Cash Joe Pass, a Les Paul Studio, a Les Paul custom, some electro-acoustic number with a 12-string, but not enough to talk of his Gretsh, the Les Paul Jr., the Super 400 and other vintages.
    Apart from the musicians or a journalist I do not specially be able to give my opinion on everything. Anyway, the sounds of tele seemed to me identical to those strat perfect on micro acute central considerably less compelling for both positions dernires central / serious. The sounds of Les Paul are really good, we find that if its fat CHARACTERISTICS, sounds jous with L5 Wes Montgomery's plans are quite convincing. The bluff me acoustic 12-string including (without killing the sound of fingers or play with a harmonizer). I have all felt the same as rendering the best silent mdium and acute than in the bass. I also think that the principle of modlisation acoustic shows some limitations when we go on an agreement, in fact, is now in gnral that the quality of violin playing in the most sustain and amplitude of continuous tone. As the violin in the Variax is probably not included in the production of sound, it lacks a little something. Fan I was considering to buy a slide dobro, as saying that given the quality of the presets I will not. For the rest I do not be habilis comment.
    I have tried sr saturated rock sounds and your exact trs is good.

    Difficult to get an objective opinion, I think all of dpend which Manir Whereas the guitars. Here there is no passion! The violin is not like there are more enjoyable to play guitar. For me, the gibson but they make me RVer cotent too expensive these days. Same for the fender, the look is timeless, the legends, the image we give of oneself with a tele natural wood finish or a white Stratocaster. briefly forget the look. Think in terms of sound and price. A 1150 euros, I think Line6 made every effort to draw attention without gouging the clientle, they provide an AB box, a bag, a manual consquent they promise new sounds. These are in addition to people who have proven themselves in the field with the POD.
    For me, the Variax is not the ultimate guitar, but it is certainly the ultimate second guitar! As Premire take the guitar makes you vibrate you to explore the sound up more thirsty and in a form never tire. For the second guitar, the Variax opens all the possible fields for forays into other styles without breaking the bank with guitars mid-range and above register.
    For me it is a palette of his supplmentaire with more than one guitarist rve, the ultimate studio guitar but no scne.

    My style: Jazz / Bossa / alternative rock (pink floyd ...) and Folk (Simon & G, Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman ...) and many other styles!!

    The sounds are infinite (of the crystalline (type telecaster) trs sounds fat (Gibson type).

    The folk guitars (Martin .. I Always play an RV Martin) is impressive (especially connected directly to a table via XLR available on the pedals that came with the box) .

    I prfere all sound except the 12-string with whom I have a little trouble (by setting the tone knob I manage to get a proper sound).

    I use it for 15 days (and yes ... only).
    I became an insomniac.

    I prampli couple with a Mesa / Boogie (studio pramp 350 used) and then the!! It's a slaughter. The perfect combination of vintage sound and modeling lamp: I get a harmonic balance made me shudder.

    The models are all the more ... Fidler I assure you. To have tried a Pod XT ... Well DSOL Line 6 has has nothing to do.

    The pots are nice, a strangely reminds those of Tl
    A knob particulirement draws our attention ...

    It gives me the size that is most important:

    I still remember my FBRIL when I connect the instrument and operates the knob magic!
    Warning: do multiple play the instrument like the original, if you close your eyes more, the illusion will be perfect

    Position T-model:
    It is the Tl mule. The Fidler is to go, it's impressive. We find the soft bass and treble foil. Each position (1,2,3,4 or 5) has its own personality.
    Warning: the 4-position: unplayable because compltement tufts. Spcial favorite for the position 5 and 3!

    Position Spank:
    Our good old Start: Always the same, very very good copy. We find the cot incisive "original" by attacking the strings frankly. Position 4 is vintage, it was believed widely amricaine a 1300 euros.

    Lester Position:
    The inevitable Les Paul. It is believed, there is the dominant gibson: The fat and powerful sound. Line 6 amme pushed the deputy returning the power of humbuckers over single coil is actuated when the knob!
    It's very good, I jou dj gibson on and I still do not see the diffrence in terms of sound ...

    Special Position
    Matrise I do not have enough instruments to be able to parler.Cependant I like the glitter of the cot in position firebird 2.A find the CHARACTERISTICS of Gibson.

    Position R-billy
    Wow!
    position 1.3 and 5 mule a gretsch 6120. What a chest! This guitar has a very impressive personality. The sound is vintage, a little too powerful sometimes overwhelming ... but what charisma! Position 2 and 4 is Rock n 'Roll. Some riffs well arranged and we would really say in the 50's!
    I like this feature because of the magic knob these days it is very rare to find sounds like it ...

    Position Chime:
    The Rickenbacker, I do not know ... I can not judge the relative similarity of original equipment, however the personality j'apprcie mule. There is a fairly simple guitar, powerful but again compltement Rock N 'Roll, ideal for the rhythms.

    Semi Position:
    The slap!
    regarding the position of 1,3,5, we find a E335. I laugh but I'm not mistaken for Chuck Berry Johnny be good by scratching. Fidler to the cleat. we feel safe and well rsonances of the original. Specially mentioned for the position 3, which gnre foils pleasurable ...
    Position 2 and 4: This is a piphone Casino. More felt that his partner in clean, it has a natural saturation when the volume knob is all lovely background. I think a c'tait ftiches guitars of John Lennon. Me too I adopted especially for rhythm parts.

    Position Jazzbox
    I do not know these guitars mules. So no big speeches.
    Position 4 seems to me quite unplayable because the bass are invasive.
    But atmosphre General for this function Jazzbox is involved, the focus is easy provided you have a game suited.

    Acoustic Position
    It is the function of which everyone speaks. I find it very very Russian. The three folks have their own personality is stirring the gibson, country western atmosphere is not far ...
    On the ass for 12 strings, I baba, what an easy game made quite optimal.
    It must function acoustic prciser that gnre Unlimited capacity allows for a knob to vary the brightness of the sound for each Gratt '. I like, I spend hours on tape MY sound!
    Madam palm mute makes divinely on this machine that is the Variax.

    Position Rso
    Good trip!
    Never j'achterai of Gratt 'type rsonators but the j'apprcie, like the sound is stunning. I will say that even this kind of play sue Gratt 'inspires an original game, you come out of the box but with a truly honorable quality!
    Specially mention the banjo is that fun!
    The sitar is haunting, oriental wish!

    Custom functions allow the guitars want to arrange in the order you want

    I use this Gratt 'for a month and I am a fan.
    The modlisations are up to my sprances.
    I am short height for a small budget like mine.
    Take Whereas this guitar you will optimize the coupling with an amp consquence. The acoustic guitars sound better on an amp carrment electro than a conventional electric combo.
    I had this guitar for 800 euros and I will not leave me too pasdonnez your review keulkeul7@caramail.com

    Not much to add on what has been said about the features. So I will summarize by:

    - A volume, tone and selector type of guitar

    It's really a shame not to find models like (-1 point):
    - A Gibson SG
    - A big well nag Ibanez

    It comes with an instruction manual well done, a pedal / power to choose a jack or XLR out (to return to practice direct console) and the keys to adjust it.

    Unlike many people, I like the neck of this guitar. Yet I have little fingers. Access to treble is good, ok shape. One can easily play standing or sitting.

    Unlike many people, I like the neck of this guitar. Yet I have little fingers. Access to treble is good, ok shape. One can easily play standing or sitting.

    To choose a sound, it's easy! Just pick the guitar with the selector!

    The tone knob is a bit feeble for some models: the sound does not vary much between the min and max (ie the LP). (-1 Point)

    The fact of not having a microphone in the strings is very handy I think!

    Ze slap. Fabulous ... Ultimately, I care about whether it is the copy of the original but what it sounds good!
    Start: very good
    Tele: very good except for one position with a sound too muffled
    And gibson les paul special: very good! large saturation in sight!
    Gretsch: it smells good rock!
    jazzbox: even if I play it, the sound is very nice and I was wondering if I'm not going to
    Semi and other electrical I know if it's the original but I like!
    Acoustic: not bad! Surprise! is not first class but it sounds good anyway
    Reso: I liked Romeo and Juliet on the National
    Banjo and cytar: I is not but it's fun

    Gors positive note, there's no any sizzling as the electric pickups! When you record yourself, it's own!

    The guitar responds well to different forms of play: palm mutting, harmonics ....

    It's been two weeks that I have. I was quite reluctant at first but everything is gone after 1 or 2 hours!

    His +:
    - The incredible number of sounds
    - The feeling of playing with a "real" guitar
    - Ease of use
    - No crackling when recording, even next to a PC screen
    Its -:
    - Lack an SG guitar and a big nag .......
    - Tone knob does not have much influence on some scratch

    Like I said earlier, to 700 € the Variax, it's € 25 Modeling ...

    At that price, how to do better? Some would say it will never be worth a real Start, a real TV, a real Gretsch ... and he prefers to play with the original! Certainly ... But it's not the same budget. And even if today I afford to buy more guitars, I prefer to have my good and my custom Stratocaster Variax next. It's true that it's chic to play less of Elvis with a Variax, but it also takes up less space than have 28 guitars at home ...

    A € 700, I do not see how to resist ... If: not having money

    Bon ben first she is prettier one might think. A handle or too thick or too thin, which allows a very nice game. The violin is the mechanical quality and do not move, only problem for some, of course no vibrato!

    You have a knob that selects the type of scraper (Telecaster, Stratocaster, Les Paul, half box, dobro, Rickenbacker), a volume knob and one of tona.
    Besides you have a 5-way switch. For the Start, it corresponds to the usual five positions. Les Paul for example, you have three positions of a skyscraper and two others in a different scratch.

    The handle is very nice, it's a good gartte. The sound is killing precision and incredible realism. You close your eyes and you hear the Les Paul, stratum 2 position, and the same thing for electroacoustic guitar!

    For violin against the scratches of my poor ... same set, the sleeve shows some falsehoods, and mechanical beaucuop disappointed me recently ... vazy I'll spend my time to connect the G string ("/> (" />

    It is suitable for almost any style of music, but we would love to have a PRS PEIT or other metal guitars more ... Shame when you think "enough" to Line6 to model ...

    The value for money is very good, plus it comes with a terrible cover!
    This will scratch card!
    It makes me laugh guys who tell the forums with the "it's a scratch in queer, etc ..."
    Who do I invest in synthesizers, software, cards, bass, bat, amplifiers, speakers, and the list goes on, I can not afford to pay me a Gibson, a Start and a semi-hollow jazz. For € 600 I have 22 others, and not low end.

    28 models of electric guitars, acoustic, 6 strings, 12 strings, banjo, sitar, dobro. There's plenty to do. Depending on the model, the models have the color of the simulated models, but not quite the same flavor. Having been comparrer the Variax with a les paul and a Start, I find the best strat returned, it said the simulation is excellent paul (same for all remaining models). The acoustic sounds were grown with the latest update. Get Connected in a pod xt live via the Variax input planned for later in the decision to return an additional Flextone 2 + hp + breath = no direct selection by the pod model guitar that is well. Anything is possible with all this: the big sound that task to the pure clean sounds through the sounds of acoustic piezo typed too. Anyway I love this guitar madness, my JS and JEM to draw a face 10 feet long!

    I've since its release, that is 2 years and a half. Well it is clear vousavez read this far if it's a massacre at his. The violin is good but I think transplant piezo in a standard vibrato. Go - you in a while for the rest if it interress someone. I owned a strat US, an Ibanez EX 370 model, I still have a jem 7v and customized JS 100, then mail I can no longer get this scratch. The price / quality ratio was already interesting when I bought it (1150E to 28 guitars), but when it became allucinant line6 prices fell by half next year (tanpis for me). When to take the same choice is YES but I would take when the Variax 700 or 600 to get the vibrato (to taste).

However, the warranty is short. But who can fault a rpar lctronique for a fair price?

    Some imitations are convincing trs. I compared with a Les Paul Standard, an ES 335, it remains close trs, in which the strings DPIT n'taient not same. For acoustic modeling, it remains more Drout, because you have to anstraction that is played on a guitar lctrique. The feeling is really weird. The very first time I test this guitar playing, I found the acoustic sounds not great at all. But when I heard them playing with another guitarist (and therefore without the Variax hands), I found it much better.
    Attention, the use of certain sounds dlicat remains: for rsonateurs, difficult to play on a guitar bottelneck whose action is low trs.
    Nanmoins, lots of fun to see her change what happens on a particular piece.
    Overall is great fun, especially when the possde Workbench, which allows the guitar of disagreement or a monster CRER (micro Gibson Fender box).
    I plugged into a Fender modeling. Attention must be impractical to use an acoustic amp for the sounds ... Acoustic otherwise we lose everything.

    I use this guitar for eight months. I find the report quality price plutt good, but he left it a little silent CHRE. I think it opens up huge persepctives (especially with the work bench and alternate tunings). It provides access sounds that would not otherwise be because the instruments are too expensive (Super 400: more than 12 000 euros) is too SPECIFICATIONS (Who wants to buy a Gibson banjo to play three times a year?. I regret that many people dnigrent this guitar without having tried, or simply taking part. I think part of the future of the guitar through l by the fact that we can dsaccoder virtually anything that nenlve pleasure that I use my Gibson, my Fender or my Martin ...

    See the posts and records from the manufacturer .... While the violin is not a super top, but the whole bill is honorable and is very solid ... great, gigbag and packaging delivery: the guitar came without even being out of tune .....

    As for the handle, it is nice if not easier to play than my fender strato us, good access to acute, well-balanced guitar, reminiscent of a little Telecasters.
    As for sound modeled, they arrive on their own virtual and the selector knob type of guitar (TModel, spank, etc ...) and the pickup selector can switch from one to the other models and / or micro configs (if you have a single type of scraper emulated on a given position) ... easy to cry!

    tt tite a note of the same: the acoustic emulations, the treble control knob becomes a "positioner" (distance variable) external microphone: it's as if you engage in tests of an acoustic sound approaching or moving away from the body microphone ...
    In summary, ergonomic top

    For sounds, well, it really tears .... course to play on a jumbo or a hollowbody provides physical sensations that are not found here .... but the main thing is to say the sound is really ...
    except for the banjo or resonator little suitable to the style of cal I play, I use almost all models (with a slight preference for the t-model-pêchus Telecasters well, the central position spank-plus crystalline my fender deluxe Us! -, the Lesters and two 3-oh gibson sound with sustain for the big mega rock! - but I also really enjoy with the jazzy, semi, the rockbilly-which can do much more than the 50s-60s rock because they are emulations of legendary Gretsch Brian Setzer-played by even the sound is interesting, although I prefer the variax700acoustic-and twelve-string sound pretty good if you take the time to settle a bit. ..)
    brief is not much to throw about the presets ...
    I even now the workbench (virtual instrument making workshop that integrates in any position presets invented hybrid models with alternate tunings) in short my Variax 500 has become a real laboratory instrument making shop guitar by itself .... is created, it loads and after we play .... if lack of space, can be stored on computer ... or buying other Variax to board his favorite configs anywhere! lol
    I would add that, seduced by line6, I ended up acquiring the Variax Acoustic 700 and Vetta II combo amp legendary: modeling already on top is scratch, but I do not even explain the modeling of amps, speakers and effects ......!!!! a killing ...
    one final note: these VETTAI the Variax and communicate digitally (which allows for specific presets: for example such as model scratched with amp and effect settings such ...); this is compounded by the sounds typed (or group of songs known) can be integrated via the Vetta .....
    short, it's almost too ... but who loves and wants to hack easily find the big sound or personal, can not be happier ... except a big fat lottery and store gutar amp and effects of your own!! !!

    1 year of using the Variax
    3 months for the workbench
    1 month for the Variax Acoustic and VETTAI

    The +: ergonomics, ease and price
    le: it is not the coffee! it does not turn into the original model ... well then line6! Efforts must be made here of the same tt !!!!! LOL

    Start my, my mouth on ovation make their stands! but I do not forget ... even though the lab model called my attention ...
    I resign without pb ... for all the products mentioned above (and yet I have no action at line6! damage for that matter!)

    take about 670euros for variax600 (replacement for the 500), a larger budget for a 700 (1150euros about vibrato ... but apparently is not great!), the workbench can be found on the net within 90euros and finally the VETTAI is trading at less than 1900euros ...
    short, it is far from a budget gibson, gretsch, fender, marshall martins .... .... vox ...
    to years Lumie same: the big pro is the scope of an average grant!

    I'll just get a game with a stronger pull.

    Bought from thomann for 380 euros ...

    Channel pleasant for the novice guitar player I am. Easy to ring.

    The simulations are very realistic, I love the acoustic sounds ...
    All types of sounds, Brilant the mast, I use it in a studio config for me is ideal.

    Excellent value for money, even entry-level, the Variax is a really good guitar sounds varied, I could not expect better price / quality ratio.

    The handle is a little thick at first touch but after a few hours of play, the handle quickly becomes enjoyable especially when you are used to the handle of a Stratocaster.
    Access to acute is relatively easy, but less than a SG than a Les Paul or a Start. The shape is very classic type Strat but lighter weight.

    The Variax 500 represents all styles of music except metal. I would even say she has a penchant for the blues. Plug in my Pod XT Live, I have a really great range of sound. Ideal for groups of recovery. The guitars are customizable with the software provided free for Workbench posséceurs a Pod XT Live or Vetta II. This software allows you to configure his guitar but also open to Tune a guitar or even to play on any tone that you want (eg instead of putting a capo on the second box, you can set it up) .

    Here is a list of all the guitars offered:

    - 1960 Fender Telecaster Custom
    - 1968 Fender Telecaster
    - 1968 Fender Telecaster Thinline
    - 1959 Fender Stratocaster
    - 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard
    - 1952 Gibson Les Paul "Goldtop"
    - 1961 Gibson Les Paul Custom (3 PU)
    - 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior
    - 1976 Gibson Firebird V
    - 1955 Gibson Les Paul Special
    - 1959 Gretsch 6120
    - 1956 Gretsch Silver Jet
    - 1968 Rickenbacker 360
    - 1966 Rickenbacker 360-12
    - 1961 Gibson ES-335
    - 1967 Epiphone Casino
    - 1957 Gibson ES-175
    - 1953 Gibson Super 400
    - 1959 Martin D-28
    - 1970 Martin D 12-28
    - 1967 Martin O-18
    - 1966 Guild F212
    - 1995 Gibson J-200
    - 1935 Dobro Alumilite
    - Danelectro 3021
    - Coral / Dano Electric Sitar
    - Mastertone Gibson Banjo
    - 1928 National Style 2 "Tricone"

    Very good guitar overall but it is no longer manufactured, it will move on a Variax 600 (the equivalent present in the body and sleeve). It is used between 400 and 600 euros cases with rigid, footswitch XPS A / B to switch between two XLR / Jack. I do not think I will have bought new for more than 1300 euros, I much prefer a Stratocaster or Gibson SG and other PRS. Otherwise I recommend a Variax 300 for new.

    NB. Guitar ideally made for the posséceurs Pod XT Live or Vetta II.

    The acoustic gtr are pretty cool and playable in all (useful I think in concert). The 12 strings are cool in "scratching" but forget the arpges I got.

    I've had qques months and I must say that I will integrate the trouble my game (rock-progressive rock instrumental). So I use my Start with humbucker and my Ibanez RG 550 prsentent that sounds more "modern". I think this should trs gtr good lovers rock / blues who like Gibson.

    The "porn actress" should spend their way to me. I'm not going Sparer given that it offers many opportunities as necessary. This is a good trs gtr qualitprix report. A MODEL when the accumulation of experience guitars (Ibanez, Jackson, etc. ...)???

    Oh, I care: the sound "dbranchquot; is good. It's the same basic right!

    I purchased this guitar 2 years ago (since it is no longer manufactured) for modlisations. And yes: I did not sub for a Strat L SERIES, The Paul'59 or a Gretsch 5150.
    And for 700, I 26 MODELS of legends.
    What a sound! I did not expect it to be as convincing, dynamic, ragissant subtilis any game! I bluff.
    However, choosing among those on offer A model is an exercise! This is a combined effect of rotation and slecteur slecteur 5 positions. C.. D: can, for example, move from a P90 in a SPECIAL Gibson Firebird movement slecteur microphones. Used to it, but need to know ...
    I love all the sounds except the 12-string, really not nice.
    My hearts? Moving from a Les Paul or a dobro Tricone in two rounds of a button!

    A final aspect but not least: it is a guitar numrique. It does NOT gnre parasite ...

    I've had two years and is a real bomb.
    Particular feature I like: 26 MODELS collector! The history of rock guitar.
    Minimum: 12-string sounds.
    Quality-price ratio: excellent.
    I do it again this choice without hsiter. However, I advise those who are looking for vintage sounds, trs typs.
