stevekc Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 *2 For the SYNTH and BASS SYNTH, unintended sounds may occur if you play chords. In general, you should play only single notes. Confirmed, No alt turnings And synth is mono, I doubt they are even using a hex PU. It's a Korg DSP Design ( like all Vox gear) From my perspective the Vox guitar is using similar PU Modeling tech introduced in JamVox , but now in an onboard DSP. No USB, No Editor, No Alt Tuning, No String Splits. No interest here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would have looked kinda cool in the 80's though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's a lot different than a Variax, and seems to be focusing more on just expanding the sound of the guitar, than nailing different guitar sounds. I don't see this as a threat to the Variax. It's too different of a beast. It's going to be a lot more limited since they're using regular pickups.

CipherHost Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The clips sound like crapola to my ears. And it's £599.00 - $854.74. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The clips sound like crapola to my ears. And it's £599.00 - $854.74. Yeah, I'll pass. For that much of an eyesore, it would have to sound like a choir of angels before I'd dump $850 on it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snhirsch Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The aesthetics are roughly on par with the Peavey Autotune guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellM5 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't mind the looks and the headphone jack is interesting. I'll bet it's lightweight and it looks pretty comfortable. If it had come out over a decade ago it might have provided some competition for the original Variax. It even has sitar, resonator and banjo. The big shortcomings are no alternate tunings, has to use battery power, your effects processor can't communicate with it and I don't see any way of updating the firmware (no USB port). Still, it's nice to see someone else entering the game. We all know who wins when there's competition. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Although I find it more beauty than any of the current JTV or Standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Brown Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Looks mores like a 'practice/travel' guitar to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco_Crocco Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I wonder if the low E plinks ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Some of the sounds are interesting, but like I said, not as depthy as a Variax, no where near as depthy as a Variax. It seems more traditional though, but like I said, if you're trying to expand to key guitar sounds, it's not gonna happen other than humbucker vs single coil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
