Check it out:
http://www.fender.com/vgstrat/home.html Yep, its true - Fender are losing too many sales now to Line 6 Variax's, which are apparently selling quietly a rather large amount of guitars as word is spreading about how good they are. So Fender have jumped on the bandwagon - and teamed up with Roland to produce a copy!! imagine that ! -------------------- its not easy

QUOTE (Matt @ Jan 21 2007, 06:42 AM)  hahahahahaha, i have a friend that bags me about my pod XTL all the time saying digital is crap and will never sound as good as tubes, he also says variaxes are shit and hes hardly played one. Wait till i tell him this... lol Its amazing how many people write off the Variax who have never tried or heard one. There are quiet a few forums on the internet debating the good and bad of digital stuff. There seems to about a 50/50 split of people who love them and people who hate them but those that hate them can hardly ever tell the difference between a "real" '59 Strat and a Variax emulating one. Invariably in a blind test they pick the Variax as having a more "real" sound...then they come up with other excuses...lol Most people once they have a half hour alone with a Variax in a quiet room end up buying one. Line 6 research has shown that the vast majority of people that actually play one alone for a while do buy, the difficulty line 6 have, is getting people to try them, though sales are starting to pick up massively according to un-named "industry sources" (probably line 6) lol. Personally, I cant believe EVERYONE does not have one. There simply is nothing "better" for the money. 20 odd $3000 guitars, every famous quality guitar made.... all for less than $400...bargain. -------------------- its not easy
