Will these guitars work well with existing Line6 products i.e. Pod X3 Live etc...?

 

Any close up picks of the headstock yet?

Yes, it will work with the VDI on existing and future products.

In fact, on the X3 with dual tone you can send the magnetics to one amp and an guitar model to a different amp or preamp and play them at the same time.

OK. Lets start with the questions.

 

Is this a vax II?

 

Or just a 1st gen vax in a boutique guitar?

 

It appears there is a new bridge design?

 

Is there a rechargable battery solution? Or do we still use AA?

 

Are the real pups routed to the 1/4 inch jack or can I switch that jack to be the vax output?

 

When will I be able to use VDI over wireless?

It is so much better than Variax I. I would call it Variax 1.5. We improved the pitch tracking on the alt tuning and the pitch detection in general. I will be blogging about that more in the coming weeks at www.tylervariax.com. I will be interviewing the head DSP guy to give you more info.

The models all benefited in sound just like the models in DL4 benefited from moving to a better chip in the M13/M9.

Yes, James Tyler helped us design all new bridges for each model to address concerns that you guys have brought to our attention. Also we worked with L.R. Baggs on a brand new piezo design for the same reason.

Yes, it has a litium-ion rechargeable battery with a battery meter that will give you 12 hours of play time. More on that later.

Both the pickups and the vax come out of the 1/4 inch. You press the model encoder to switch between magnetics and model.

That is the million dollar question. I can't say at all, but there is thinking going on about that. Nothing soon though.

I must say those look puuuurdy!!!!

 

Well two of them do certainly - the LP (ish) one and the Ibanez RG (ish) one have got me drooling with anticipation - and I haven't even heard or played any of them yet.  Don't like the Strat (ish) one though - Sorry.  Two out of three ain't bad

Yup and many guys like the Stratish one and not the Shred and many other combinations. That is why we did them all. Because with many but not all guys liking each model, that means that three out of three is a homerun.

I'll take the RED Strat w/Tailpiece...sign me up!!!  (I hope it won't cost too much )  I don't want any updates for my existing VAX...I want a new 2-CPU, 1 for the Models and 1 for altered tunings, so that I can alter any model...plus a Nice Neck and real pickups...and a rechargeable battery.  This will be the bomb!

OK, deal. We got you all of that and more.

What about a Flying V model? When will we get one?

Must be nice to finally see this coming to public fruition!

Congrats Mr. Renken, Mr. Tyler, and all Variax nuts!
