albertcunniff Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Can I save custom "alternate tunings," such as Open E and Open C, to my Variax 600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Yes... but with a couple of caveats. The 1st generation Variax guitars (including the 600) do not separate the tunings from the tones, you have to save a tuning with a tone. EG: If you want all five position of a strat available in a specific tuning, you have to save each pickup position with the alternative tuning - ultimately consuming 5 more slots. IMO.... I usually only need a couple different tunings on a specific tone (eg: tele bridge with an open G ala Keith Richards, or a Drop D on a Tele Bridge and on an Acoustic). Therefore, I only use a few extra slots for special tunings. Another caveat is that you need to use Workbench to alter (create) any tunings, you cannot do it from the guitar itself. Therefore you need a Variax interface (or older compatible POD), a VDI Cable, and a computer. The software itself is a free download. Once the sound is stored in it's location, you can recall it from the guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Try saving it thru Workbench as part of a custom patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipemartin Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hello, ¿Can you save a 1/2 step down tuning with the 12 string models? I tried it with Workbench, BUT the results where that only 1 of each pair of strings was 1/2 step down, making the model unusable. Thanks.

psarkissian Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Check the manual for the electronic capo. Set it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot psarkissian, but I looked over for any kind of Capo in the Variax 600 Manual and couldn't find anything. Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
