Variax® is the one guitar that is a complete collection of guitars. No more
dragging around multiple acoustics and electrics to gigs or recording studios.
Variax gives you an endless variety of sounds from classic acoustic and electric
tones all the way to sitar and banjo, all in one instrument. Moreover, the
absence of magnetic pickups means that every note comes out crystal clear
without any unwanted pickup noise.
Variax is the only guitar that allows you to plug into a computer and customize
your tone or apply alternate tunings to any of the 25 presets. Line 6's
exclusive Variax Workbench software lets you fine-tune all the details of each
tone, or change your tuning to Open G, DADGAD, D-MODAL, Drop-D, or any tuning
you can imagine, without ever needing a tuner.
For greater control, Variax integrates seamlessly with POD® XT Live and Vetta™
II - not only powering the guitar but also letting you control the entire signal
chain right at your feet.
Variax is also the only modeling guitar that can run either on batteries or by
the included phantom adapter.
Meet the Guitars of Variax

importantly, unbelievable tone. With one knob and a 5-way switch, Variax will
take you through this historic collection of guitars.
