Thx Glen; excellent insights on the Variax from a gigging player. Love my JTV-69 paired with my Helix. All in with Line 6 from the first Pod. Thanks again, d.
variax is always nice sound but it is far away from professional ....i tried jtv 59 and it did not convince me to buy it...distortions too artificial and other sounds too thin or too undefined....it is a nice cover band tool or studio tool, but a real guitar is real guitar
Remember if you remove the Variax electronics, it still a real guitar underneath with magnetic pickups of your choice. Also this is used by professional musicians on tour such as Yes, Stryper and others.
