Variax Electric Model 700 vs. Les Paul Comparison Video for the L6 Variax Forum

Archived in the category: compare electricity

This video was made specifically and only truly for those people who are on the Line 6 Variax Forum hosted by Rich Renken Product Manager from Line 6.

This video is demostrating some of the things that consistently keep being brought up as a “flaw” in the Variax design. I inally decided after months of reading these comments and complaints to just do my own comparison video using the same amp and playing my Les Paul, then Playing similar bits with my Line 6 Variax Electric Model 700.

This is the only purpose for this video and is for that reason alone.

Thanks for the kind …
Thanks for the kind words. Whichever one you liked the sound of better is fine, I just wanted to create that video so stop many from saying that the modelled guitar is not even close to the original. Obviously, there are some differences, but I intentionally made the Variax Les Paul I demo-ed with HOTTER pickups than the original Les Paul. All personal preferences, but the Variax modelling is quite amazing.

they both sound great. The last guitar you played I feel had much more bite.

Great playing

Thanks for the kind words!! And I couldn’t agree more. Also if you did not already know-this video was created as a direct result of the Line 6 forum monitored by Rich Renken regarding the FUTURE OF VARIAX which deals with the NEW Variax being worked on and still in the creation phase. If you don’t already go to this forum,you might wish to check it out as there are over 100 pgs of things mostly dealing with what the new Variax should have or be capable of doing from the wood to the technology.

Thanks for taking …
Thanks for taking time out for the post. I wish there were more actual comparisons to convince skeptics that IMO the Variax sounds just as good as the originals… Rock On!!!

Hehe, as long as he …
Hehe, as long as he doesn’t put marshmallows in his guitars it should be alright… btw, I am not a forum reader but have many questions about the Variax 700 (thinking of buying one). The local stores don’t have any for me to try out. Where is this forum anyway?
