Same thing happened with the Peavey AT-200 but I had the foresight to grab four of them so I should be good. I talk to fellow guitarists wherever I go and I haven't found any that have even heard of the Variax or AT-200 Even when the Standard came out, my nearest big-name store seemed to have everything except the Variax. Could it be that nobody was interested in selling a guitar that could do the job of many?

Hey guys, first-time poster, here. Respecting the fact that this is a Line6 forum, I hesitated to post because I am a very contented GNX4 user for the past 12 years. I now have SEVEN of these units. Gigging without a backup is not an option for me. I only have so many because they can be had for next-to-nothing in as-new condition. Clearly, the OP has a fundamental setup issue that is likely not at all related to a limitation of his modelers. The fact that one of the harshest-sounding presets, "Satch", is the one that sounds good to him, speaks volumes. The following links, transformed what I initially regarded as a cheesy toy, in to something that I now regard as an extension of my guitar and, I suspect that the advice can be of use with all modelers: http://mfxsupermodels.com/MFXNEW806/CUSTOMIZE.html http://mfxsupermodels.com/MFXNEW806/EFFECTS.html http://mfxsupermodels.com/MFXNEW806/MFX_SS_LIVE.html http://mfxsupermodels.com/MFXNEW806/ASSIGNS.html "MY AMP SOUNDS ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE HEADPHONE SOUND..WHY IS THIS??" http://mfxsupermodels.com/MFXNEW806/FAQS.html
