Here is something from Line6
What is Variax?
Variax® is the world's first modeling guitar. It offers the sounds of an entire guitar collection in a single instrument.
Is Variax a MIDI guitar?
No, Variax is a real guitar. All of the sounds available in Variax start with the actual string vibrations of the Variax itself. Our patented modeling process shapes the raw string signal to replicate the sounds of the modeled instruments.
Does Variax work with only Line 6 amps?
Variax works with any guitar amp from any manufacturer.
Is a left-handed version available?
Left-handed versions of Variax 500 are currently available. As of this time, Variax 700 is not available in a left-handed version.
What's up with the footswitch?
Variax includes amazingly warm and detailed acoustic models that sound best when amplified by a full-range system. We include the XPS A/B footswitch to give you a convenient way to divert the output to a PA or acoustic amplifier for these models.
What's up with the extra jack?
This "special" jack is used to connect your Variax to our Vetta II™ amp or PODxt Live™. This one cable (based on industry-standard CAT 5 Ethernet) provides everything needed to make the most complete guitar system ever created. Vetta II or PODxt Live now provides power, a direct digital audio connection, and bi-directional control of the Variax. Read more about it here!
How does Variax 700 differ from Variax 500?
Variax 500 in solid colors has a contoured basswood body, a one-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, custom position markers, and Gotoh® tuners. Variax 700 in translucent colors has a mahogany body with a contoured ash top, one-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, custom position markers and Gotoh tuners. Available finishes are Black, Translucent Red, Translucent Amber, and Translucent Blue. Check out the Specs page for more details.
Variax 700 is upgradeable, as is the 500.
Variax 700 is fully compatible with Vetta II via our custom, locking RJ-45-based Neutrik® cable. Read more about it here.
What does it come with?
Both Variax 500 and 700 come with a custom fitted gig bag, XPS A/B footswitch/power supply, and a Planet Waves® TRS cable.
