I was a few years late to the party, but that was actually good - I had more options with the Variax 300, 500, 600, and 700 all on the market. After I was having trouble with the wiring in my apartment causing hum and buzz on the early Palette-Swap Ninja recordings, I figured an all-digital signal path was the answer to the problem. (I actually sold a vintage Fender Blender pedal for $300 to get my first POD for the same price.) I used a POD xt Live when I was with Fast Times, and it came with an Ethernet jack marked “Variax” - meaning the Line 6 modeling guitar had a custom, direct connection to the Line 6 modeling amp. I am a huge fan of Line 6’s POD amp-simulation processors and have used them on stage and in the studio for many years now. I figured if anybody could pull it off, it would be Line 6. Just turn the knob and select your sound. That’s what the Variax promises: digital-modeled sounds of famous vintage and rare guitars, from Strats and Pauls to Rickenbackers, Gretches, a few acoustics, even a banjo and an electric sitar. Finish: Metallic Red Origin: Korea Acquired: 2007 Mods: Schaller straplocks Still owned: Yes The Story: It’s hard not to buy into the dream of one guitar that does everything.
