The new James Tyler Variax JTV69 by Line6 is a modeling guitar with a particularly cool feature called "virtual capo". This allows for custom tunings on the fly - which is my idea of a good time.

  • I really like this guitar! Can I plug it is every amp or do i need a special line 6 amp? I like to buy one but i dont like to buy a other amp (i love my mesa) !

    Greetzz ,

  • @alfieherriot It will work with any amp.

  • I'm playing through a POD HD500 with the variax connection cable. You can set the inputs on the HD500 to use both the Variax and the pickups simultaneously. This parameter can be saved individually with each HD500 patch. Both sources can be accessed through the Variax cable (it also powers the guitar too).

  • Looks and Sounds awesome!! Are you using a POD HD or POD XTL?

  • @fabrocal Thx / POD HD500 - R

  • Wow, what an ax!! I don't play guitar (yet) ... but I'd consider getting one just to ask my musician friends to play it FOR me! (lol)

    Seriously, great sampling of this fine work of art.

    Side note: I'd love to hear a (professionally recorded, etc.) mellow tune with just simple playing (as you did) with the tuning heard from around 1:08 - 1:38. Nice kick back at the beach or pool music ... to get in the zone with.

  • pornjazz all the way!

  • A couple of questions:

    1) to use both the modeling and magnetic pickups at the same time HAS to be done with the HD500 or can it be done without it?

    2) can you use different tunings with the magnetic pickups?

    PS:

    can you do a quick video playing hotel california with a 12 string electric having a capo on the 7th fret and the magnetic with normal tuning? this is the ULTIMATE cover band guitar!!!

  • Clever use of the tuning functionality. But how did you get both the mag pickups and piezo out at the same time?
