Variax on Stage
The Right Guitar for Every Gig
For years, guitarists have struggled with the
fear of losing their most prized guitars on the road. You could probably count
on one hand the amount of players who actually drag their good guitars to the
gig. It's even worse for acoustic players.
Even if you decided to pull out your favorite acoustic, getting a properly miked acoustic guitar sound at stage volume can be an absolute nightmare.
What if you could take one guitar and not only
have all your electric needs covered, but have a pristinely miked acoustic sound
at the touch of a 5-way toggle switch? Sound too good to be true?
Variax in the Studio
Inspiration at the Speed of Creativity
Talk to any working studio guitarist and
they'll tell you that traveling with a guitar trunk the size of a small car is
the norm. When the red light is on, and you're expected to come up with "the
right part," the last thing you want is an uninspiring guitar sound. Even if you
have the right guitar in your road case, it's still going to take you few
minutes to change, re-tune and get back into the vibe of the track. With Variax
you'll be able to audition 25 different guitars all at the turn of a knob. Now
that's inspiration at the speed of creativity.
Of course, for the rest of us who just want to
demo an acoustic-heavy song at home before the dog and kids start making the
"sounds of war," Variax will become indispensable. You'll be able to record a
dobro, sitar or 12-string all without having to worry about mics or the bleed
from the TV in the next room. Variax will help you be as creative as humanly
possible with the 20 minutes you have after work and before you have to drive
the kids to football practice and ballet lessons.
