usafirefly Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Am considering right now Line 6 Shuriken Variax SR270 or SR250? I realize on has extra length. Any advice on this? Also I wonder if I'm better off with the 59 or 69 or 89 because of the magnetic pickups? Notherwards without modeling how much do you get out of one (1) pickup? Can't find anything on youtube -- it's always the grunge or heavy metal and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strahd8088 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I have the SR250 and the JTV-59. Both are good. I use them for modeling plugged into my Helix, so I can't comment on the magnetic pickups. I can say they are different styles and play very differently. I haven't plugged them into a different amp/system than the Helix, but I am reasonably certain you can save the pickup configuration directly to the Variax so even with the SR250, you could model a bridge pick-up when plugged into a non-helix amp.

psarkissian Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The pick-up in the Shurikens is the same as the JTV-59 bridge pick-up. It's a very well liked pick-up here at Line 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa0300 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 In shuriken, for rock and metal, the magentic pickup sound is good. However, the piezo pickups are mushy in all settings. Not impressed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
