#DETUNE GUITAR PEDAL FULL#

So you can still have a real guitar sounding through real pedals and a real amp AND you can have instant downtuning. And it's MIDI, so you can actually send MIDI signals to change the lights with a stomp as well. Oh, and the Helix powers the Variax (it ordinarily uses onboard batteries) as well. Oh, and there are a couple of amp switches built in as well. And with the Helix, there are four (count 'em FOUR) FX loops that can be routed into your rig at any point. And you can store alternate tunings, the guitar modeled, amps, cabs and FX in a single user preset and switch the whole thing at once with a single stomp. Fulltone guitar pedals were born out of Mike Fullers love for music, tone, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower. And you can actually assign the control of any parameter to the volume and tone knobs on the Variax. The magnetic pickups run through the VDI cable as well. Your P90 and other single coil sounds will be noiseless. Oh, and if you actually get a Helix, the Variax can use a VDI cable (think ethernet, but 'hardened' at the ends) to connect to it.

Oh, and the Doobie Brothers have used that yellow Variax and its acoustic guitar models onstage for a long time. Except that they're actually sold mahogany bodied. They look like a thinline hollowbody sound hole guitar. Oh, and Edge of U2 has been using a pair of Variax Acoustic 700s on tour for years. Until, as a last resort, the guitar player pulled out his Variax.

This little red rectangle gives you a full control over sending your sound plummeting through the floor or piercing through the ceiling for a world of shifting, experimental effects. So it's a real guitar AND a modeled guitar.ĭid you know that when Mutt Lange was selecting a tele sound to send out with Shania Twain on her debut tour, he listened to a bunch of the guitar player's teles and wasn't quite happy with them. Featuring six whammy, 10 harmony and deep/shallow detune modes, the Whammy 4 is one of the most versatile and praised octave/pitch shifters available on the market. Fact is, Variax has even modeled my JTV-89F pickups, so it's pretty easy to change from magnetic pickups to modeled pickups.

Worth noting that you can toe-dip the Variax firmware, because there are real James Tyler pickups (magnetics, what you're used to) on most of the Variax guitars and you can avoid the Variax stuff until you're ready to change the tuning.
