| Line 6 Announces the First Interactive Custom Shop for Guitars: Variax Workbench | ||||||
Variax Workbench provides access to an amazing collection of pickups, controls, and bodies allowing guitarists to mix and match parts to create their ideal tone. In real time, guitarists can listen to and tweak the placement and settings of each until they've come up with a guitar that is truly unique and meets their creative needs. "With Variax Workbench, guitarists can easily create unlimited custom guitar models for the Variax," said Marcus Ryle, senior vice president, product development, Line 6. "Ever wonder what a single-coil pickup would sound like on a hollow-body tuned a whole octave down? Probably not. That's because it wasn't a reality ... until now." In addition to the customization of bodies, pickups and sound, guitarists will also be able to create and store custom tunings. Now the T-model setting can be in Open G, the Spank model can be tuned a half-step down, and the Lester model can go to Drop D. Guitarists will be able to create, store, share and backup thousands of guitar models using Workbench's Librarian. It easily keeps track of their custom guitars, stores them on the computer's hard drive, makes them e-mailable to others, or can be used to create a CD-ROM backup to load customized guitars and tunings into any Variax. Workbench enables guitarists to fill each slot on the Variax Model knob and five-way switch with a custom guitar of their own creation. Variax Workbench is a combination USB interface and software package that allows guitarists to see and hear the physical changes to their custom guitar in real time. It is compatible with both Windows PC and Mac OSX computers. A software only version will become available at a later date for Vetta II and PODxt Live owners. For more information: www.line6.com |
