    LP Vs Variax A/B test

    I can't get those to work properly !! The original tuning always shines (?) through underneath the pitch shifted note (like a mix of wet and dry) I wrote to Line6 tech support and they said... "sorry" Pooo !

    LP Vs Variax A/B test

    true, but I might have turned it down using workbench ..or not. It is an astute observation and.....Im saying nothing ! I have tried to be as unbiased (no tube pun) and objective as I could even when setting the EQ on the Marshall !

    LP Vs Variax A/B test

    I used identical amp / pre-amp settings for both, the vol on both guitars was up at 10 so any difference in gain was the axe no the gain staging into the MOTU. oh BTY I don't work for line 6 or anything (tee Hee) !!

    LP Vs Variax A/B test

    OK this is either a Variax set to "Lester" "Neck" or a 1960 Re-issue Gibson LP supporting 490R and 498T pickups. The guitar was run into a TSL100 head (crunch) with stock tubes and recorded with a Shure KSM44 (set to cardoid) at the edge of the speaker about 6" from the cloth of a 1960A 4x12...

    Strat Vs Variax Grudge match

    I originally stuck em through a vt737sp however trying to find a setting that worked with both was difficult. Just FYI I used exactly the same levels / settings with each.

    Strat Vs Variax Grudge match

    OK, lets have some fun ! Which clip was recorded using a Fender California '89 Strat and which one was done with a Line6 Variax emulating a Strat ? Both were recorded using the Neck PU (setting) through a Line 6 Pod XT live (patch 1b (the AC30)). Both were 24 bit @44.1 into Logic 7.11 and...

    Build your own guitar...

    IMHO Light is absolutely on the money. I think it is helpful to remember what you are competing with. The likes of Fender and Gibson have been doing this everyday for 50+ years. They buy in bulk and slap a huge mark up on. There QC may not be perfect however there is still a reason the...

    How do you record your guitars?

    My first port of call is usually either a Pod Pro (S/PDIF out) / Pod XT (USB). If that still doesn't work (I usually get the sound I want out of the pod) either: direct into an Avalon vt737sp or use an AKG C414 into the Avalon in front of a Marshall TSL half stack at medium lo volume or a...

    Grabbing Audio tracks from DVD ?

    try handbreak, its free. http://handbrake.m0k.org/ if nothing else you can covert (rip) into quicktime format and then load into a video editing prog like final cut to suck out the audio. Handbreak may allow you to take the audio strait from the DVD

    Just got a Variax700 HT

    I haven't tried the 600, as once I decided I wanted it, I went straight for the 700. Past purchase have taught me that if I liked the 3, 5 0r 6 I'd end up getting the 7 and selling the previous axe at a massive loss ! I think the guts of the 3/5/6 and 7 are the same. I have heard the 300 is not...

    Just got a Variax700 HT

    Next to the PRS it is a bit clunky however as you'd expect the finish is nice and the frets are well dressed. Feels more like a strat than anything else. However the tone just blows my socks off !!

    Just got a Variax700 HT

    OK OK so I don't work for Line6 or anything but... for all you tone hounds out there... check one out ASAP ! it could have saved me a fortune on guitars if I'd a got it years ago. The strat sounds better than the three strats I have sitting behind me and the LP settings kick the but of my...

    Recommendations for Mac Recording/Mixing Software

    Im using Logic Pro 7.1 and although it is not as intuitive as Sonar, it comes with lots of useful plugins ! Once you get your head round it, it is not bad.
