Line 6 Variax / Sitar Jam

Just a quick preview of the Sitar (Danelectro Coral Sitar) on the Line 6 Variax...it was just a freestyle, and i tried to maintain as much of the Indian authencity as i could, so it sounded like a sitar...yes my playing isnt up to scratch in this video...but still thought id share the brilliant sound of the Variax with you

@thehardcoreguitarist built in mate :)

[MortallicA91]

are these guitars expensive?

who's the manufacturer? variax must be the model, right?

[hineshg]

you can pick up a line 6 variax nowadays for about £700+?

brilliant guitars for studio

[kallistimunich]

sounds like a porn movie soundtrack

[jabasoo]

its not jazz, its not a metal guitar....weird eastern ish stuff maybe...good axe tho

[jonolivarules]

Nice jam, very original sound

What gauge of strings are you using ?

[MrBucketBot]

He may not know eastern scales, but his playing is pretty nice. It works well. Dorian sitar jams might be the next big thing, haha.

[gothicloveful]

this song makes my elbow tickle nice job mate

[barepro1]

Needs a little more production, but i love the playing.

I don't know why people say playing a guitar like this live would be embarrasing. It's a real guitar with real piezo pickups with a signal processor. All piezo-loaded electrics use some form of signal processing...unless you want it to sound like shit. I have a piezo bridge in my PRS, and if you open the control cavity ZOMG! there's two processor chips in it. One for the acoustic EQ and one for Midi synth.

This is the same as that, without the mag pickups. You can route the body, and add 'em.

@jabasoo Not easternish eighter. The player doesnt seem to know eastern scales at all.. Wich would be basic i guess, if you wanna get some nice sitar tunes.

[PhoenixNL72]

@thehardcoreguitarist Piezo pickups in the bridge and a shit load of DSP power to change their signals to just about anything you want (Sitar, Banjo, 12 String Richenbacher, 12 String acoustic, Strat, Telly, Les Paul etc etc)

@MortallicA91 they're made by Line 6. Very good cost/benefit IMHO. I have a model 600. The sitar is nearly as good as the other emulations but it sounds quite nice if you use a POD XT/X3 in the right settings for the Variax.
