Line 6 JTV-69 James Tyler Variax main features:
Line demuestra cada dia la calidad que tiene y con las Variax no hay excepcion. Las mejoras desde las primeras variax 300 son incontables. La calidad de sonido es impresionante, la variedad a la hora de trabajar con ella y crear tus propias guitarras, y la posibilidad de cambiar de afinacion al vuelo la hacen una herrramienta impresionante tanto en estudio como en directo.
El unico defecto palpable que le veo es que el palm mute en las simulaciones no acava de convencer del todo (evidentemente cuando usamos las pastillas magneticas este problema pasa a desaparecer...)
Recomiendo totalmente su compra y si encima dispones del un POD HD no hay limites en la cantidad de sonidos de calidad que puedes llegar a sacar.
Has a good feel, and seems well made. The modelled sounds are a definite improvement on my old Variax 600. Although they aren't perfect e.g. the acoustics aren't totally convincing. If I had one reservation, the knob for changing the tunuings looks and feels a bit naff.
