This is the first guitar Line6 and uses the same principle as the POD, ie, modeling, and this time some twenty different guitars all the more famous than the other, this is done through a piezo sensor installed in the bridge that captures all the nuances of playing guitar and transcribed in the software (see https://fr.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/mailing_forums/?page=3&idtopic=15851&idsearch=0).
Then we choose the model with a third knob
, In addition to the tone and volume.
The list of guitars is very long and extends from the Strato Dean Martin through the Gibson and even the National Tricone (Knofler is going to be happy) and it is here https://www.line6.com/ Variax / en / collection.html.
In terms of the violin, she m'inpire confidence afterwards because the first time, it seemed a little light, but it was his side a little "new" and propre.Maintenant after a few days to grind, I 'm very comfortable on it and the handle is shaped well enough not to lose in execution speed compared to my Ibanez, nothing to do with the handle of a Les Paul such as I have read some part.
No vibrato at the bridge on the other hand, too bad, but all models do not agree with Floyd satrianien.

Its use is unfathomable as I feel that I will take ten years to make the tour.Chaque day I discovered tens of different sounds by adjusting the volume or tone.
I think this is the ultimate guitar for guitar studio and we will see more flowering, in my opinion, the Variax in professional studios so its use facilitates the work of recording and even talk mixage.Je not where the acoustic tone knob changes here to change the sound as it did for placement in front of the microphone amplifier (technique of the "AIR" on the POD).
The guitar is well balanced and light enough, the neck is fast (what a joy to play a Les Paul or a Gibson J-200 as easily) and the lack of microphones greatly facilitates the finger-picking game.
The knobs are offset under the bridge which prevents too much teasing when we embarked on a frenzied rhythm.
Finally, it's a good vacuum with an incisive attack and good sustain which assures the quality of manufacture.

THE SOUND IS FANTASTIC! Do I need to be clearer?
Everything is beautifully transcribed: grain, vibrato, dynamics on the types of plectrum and fingers, attack and sustain, the humbuckers as single coils, all is well felt.
You can buy it eyes closed.
Put the model example Dean Martin D-28 in a tube preamp directly connected to the console, close your eyes and you will be stuck!
Obviously, this guitar suits all styles since all the sounds of the guitar are beautifully reproduced (with some exceptions Of course, much I quibble) and the usefulness of this POD is even more striking in order to marry easily the types of guitar the different types of amplifier.
My favorite model is ... I know ... every day I find a much different it rich.

This is the first time when I buy music equipment, I feel for Scamming the seller, as, wanting to buy clothes at La Redoute, I received incorrectly everything that had in catalogue.Croyez me this guitar will not stay at that price (1100 euros) and when more and more pros will use it (which is always ready to "reassure" the amateur lamda always keen on "brands "), Line6 will raise its prices to bring it to its true value (is it" Mr. Gibson ").
