MartinDorr Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Looking for preset recommendations tailored specifically for the JTV Variax Acoustic guitar models. I understand the basic recipe (just a preamp or no amp at all and EQ, reverb, and a bit of compression to taste), but still interested in comparing with other players faves. If someone had a banjo preset I would not mind checking that one out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don’t know if you want to purchase anything but I was very impressed with Glenn DeLaune’s Acoustic Patches package in the Helix Marketplace. It includes some presets specifically for Variax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinDorr Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks for the replies. Sampled the DeLaune's presets and sample playing - very nice indeed. Looks like a worthwhile investment. Also saw some other contributions on that topic, but have not checked them out yet. Marketplace has grown quite a bit since I last checked! I could not fully download the wave file from Waymda (it's only 8.08KB) - I only hear a click similar to the first sound of a count in ... Will try the Helix preset file when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waymda Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Ahh yes - you fully downloaded the wav file. Its an Impulse that is used to shape the tone of the Variax acoustic. It was in slot 3, but I believe the current firmware makes that irrelevant as the patch will 'find' the impulse no matter where its loaded.
