Not much to add on what has been said about the features. So I will summarize by:
- 28 modlisation guitars (Gibson, Start, Tele, Gretsch, acoustic, banjo ...). At € 700 the Variax, it's € 25 model scratches ...
- 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.
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
