Japanese Manufacturing
Handle, rather round, like gibson reasonable access to acute
no miccro but sensor type strat easel easel, traditional floating tremolo
1 volume 1 tone, affect to different functions depending on the chosen modeling, especially on acoustic guitar
A selector guitar MODELED
output jack 1 / 4, stereo (for food "phantom" of the skyscraper in the form of housing, allowing a departure amp A: jack 1 / 4 or B: XLR)
COMMENT: The jack is a fitting example traditinnel an amp for all electric guitars, and the XLR has an amp, more dedicated acoustic (+ twiter), was not that the two outputs are not mixable
Without this case, provided, can be used batteries: AAA in 12h and 2h 9v

The handle is a good japanese, and is very correct. What makes a big thing is that it gives an impression of long sustain and pathetic, but I think the quality of modeling there's a lot in short, the result is, it is essential
the balance is perfect. can be a bit of weight, surpenant because, at first sight seems the tiny scratches, or it must be the weight of a stratum, or a little less
COMMENTS: The vibrato in the state is unusable because no locking nut! The slightest action on the stem, and must retune
On my model, new rod is screwed vibrato does not, it just sinks in the slot and is retained by a kind of inner rubber washer, this washer, badly proportioned, or default manufacturing, a game That fact that each action has on the stem means a klong-klong, making it even less usable vibrato
The 5-way switch is trrrrres sensitive, and in a game ryhmtique funky, for example, I happened to change his unintentionally unfortunately with another sound more powerful .... I have a nosebleed my other colleagues musicos ...... I'm kidding .. , But worth it!
I think there is reversal of the order of 5-way switch on the record, unless this is a mistake on my part, I count 1 2 3 4 5, starting from the neck ......

The sounds are great
COMMENTS: For my part, I have a hard time understanding why you respect the gap in levels between single and double coil. On stage, it is difficult to go from a Start, a Les Paul, not to tweak the knobs or the loss of time innerente. Its a bit the same sin as the PODs under the pretext that some vintage amps did not have control medium or reverb, and well respected line 6 has a handicap ... if we try to project a typical situation, one can assume that a "hardcore", with a vintage amp of this type would be sufficiently integrated, not to support the medium knob of the pod, because it does not exist on the original .... What interest to buy a pod, both to keep his amp, and at worst, he would have said has put the knob in neutral
So there is an intention to innovate, from line 6, but at the same time a marketing defect, leaving users "road" and open to new techniques, a tenfold range of sounds ..
Esperos the "UP DATES" provided will consider our opinions

I use it for ten gala, and I have to run on the same sounds: Start, Chimes, jazz, because the difference of levels, limit me enormously "live"
I have a distrust of the holding of the agreement, I put on the account of vibrato and I hope the solution
the price is honest RAPORT quality is also what prompted my purchase, but would be if these problems were rsolus. By using "studio" was a little more time, it is the "total"
I do it again the same choice, but after the improvements afore-mentioned, with a great wish: a nylon string guitar that I miss sorely
COMMENT: We really feel that line 6 had not anticipated the impact of the skyscraper, the ddiant only has a clientele of "amateurs"
Last Comment: I heard versions of s crazy about the use of two out of the guitar (with a hidden cache cahoutchouc) transmissions of digital data on a computer, up-dating, control of an extension of new modeling
If anyone has any suggestions thank you joly.rene3 @ wanadoo.fr
