    This is a really fantastic demo! Thanks a lot for taking the time to be so thorough. Answered tons of my questions concerning the quality of the sounds. I've been gigging with an HD500 and am really considering taking the plunge on one of these.

    LOVE the 2-string bass setting. You put out some great lines and fill there. Good playing all around. Love those Variax's

    Truly great video. Your variety of tones and styles show the Variax to its best and persuaded me to buy...Thanks!

    What a good demo on the Variax 700! And wonderful playing man! Thanks for posting this video. It's a pretty thorough one featuring some of the "flavors" the guitar comes with. Cheers! I wish I could play like you do. :)

    very nice, possibly the best demo of the variax+podxt i've seen. thanks for making that vid!

    Well I thought I was going to get a bedroom video of somebody struggling thru Smoke on the Water with 20 different sounds....but got some really great playing and learnt something. Thanks!

    LOL xD The banjo right after the friggin low tuning =D Great vid man,,the acoustic tone just blew me away !

  • @guitfiddleblue
    @guitfiddleblue 14 лет назад

    Excellent display of what the Variax is capable of. I have a 600 and play it more than my Gibson Les Paul now. It's a fun guitar to play (action, setup, etc...) and it sounds great.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    THANKS! the tuning modeler is included with the guitar, you need the workbench software to do that.

  • @F1Fanatic
    @F1Fanatic 15 лет назад

    Great stuff... I must say I was interested in this guitar before, but after seeing you demo it, I want one NOW!!! Serious ly great playing and taste.. Loved the Metheny and Johnson too ;)

    Freaking awesome! Wonderful playing! bravo! I've been shopping for "the right guitar" but I have to say, after seeing this, I'm buying one of these!! Thanks! :) Loved the "To Be With You" solo. Great demonstration.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    thanks a lot!!! actually i don't recall the exact amp models for each sound... i remember i was changing a trying different sounds. the acoustic and banjo sounds don't use any amps modulation at all....

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @nachoDominguez esos sonidos son de la guitarra line 6 variax. es una guitarra con los sonidos de 25 instrumentos.

  • @PadraicPlaugher
    @PadraicPlaugher 15 лет назад

    sounds great! I was going to try one of the older variax models out a couple years back but all the ones they had at guitar center were broken! None of them worked. I really liked the different tunings and the acoustic. Great playing bro.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @Felixxxxxxxify hey, it's a 3 note chord(Badd9 in regular tuning). 5th string, 2nd fret - 4th string, 4th fret - 3rd string, 6th fret.

  • @A1MauiBoy
    @A1MauiBoy 15 лет назад

    You are very talented. I have 4 of these, but you made me appreciate the guitars even more. Line6 is lucky to have you as an unpaid Rep. Best to you and your life choices.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @denis724 thanks denis.. hey, i don't remember exactly. i think it was the jazzclean(roland jazz chorus emulation), with some reverb. the tone control on the variax was at 50% i would say. hope you get it!!! cheers

  • @OldManAP
    @OldManAP 16 лет назад

    I've really gotta get a Variax and a POD. The purists may balk, but I'm pretty impressed with this setup. I'm also even MORE impressed with your playing! You are a stylistic chameleon, which is so hard to find these days.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @ricomajestic yes, it will. actually the circuit on this guitar was "transplanted" to another one, build buy a luthier, and that guitar also has regular pickups, you can switch between variax and regular coils.

  • @apollodude217
    @apollodude217 15 лет назад

    Great playing!
    I have the 300. I only use it for 12-string, acoustic, and exotic models any more because my Ibanez RG 4__ blows it out of the water as a standard electric guitar.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @fedec16 si, podes conectar la viola al pod, y el pod al ampli y es lo mismo. para grabar lo hice directo

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @Kamis5050 in order to get the variax acoustic sound, you just need a variax. it's a preset on that guitar. no pod or anything else needed

  • @antimatter882
    @antimatter882 15 лет назад

    Awesome playing. Id love to see you play live.

  • @philldash
    @philldash 14 лет назад

    @Nerka131 there actualy are pickups. individual ones right at the bridge of the guitar, atached to the bridge to be exact. they're very small and only get the sound from which particular note your hitting. the electronics in the guitars pre-built and customized system change that note to different effects to sound like a ex: banjo, 12 string, stratocaster, acoustic, classical, citar, etc.

  • @KenFarnham

    Te felicito Andres, tocas increible, Tengo tu mismo set up El pod xt live mas la Variax 600. Una consulta , que ampli ocupaste en el segundo tono, el de la lespaul con la capsula del neck, al cual le subes el volumen despues y satura un poquito, me encanto el timbre es super sensitivo al touch. Te felicito nuevamente y saludos desde Chile!!!!

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @frozenfarm you don't need to have it plugged to the computer. only to edit tunings and stuff, but you can save it

  • @ICULooking

  • @bluestudio67
    @bluestudio67 11 лет назад

    lol, I spoke too soon. The 175 is amazing as well. 35 years now, and I still can't play as fluid as that. Never give up! ;)

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @meliyalvaro te recomiendo estudiar todas las tecnicas. alternate picking, legato, sweep, son las 3 principales.

  • @wespaul1981
    @wespaul1981 15 лет назад

    This video was the deciding factor on whether or not I bought one of these. I should have it in the mail any day now :)

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    the pod xt live have a special input for the variax, when they are connected with a digital cable you can control the guitar models from the pod. the software for the guitar tuning is called "line 6 workbench". if you have the pod xt live or other pod with special variax input, the software is for free. if you don't have it you have to purchase it and it comes with a special adaptor. the guitar has to be in standard tuning.

  • @666extreme
    @666extreme 15 лет назад

    amizing right hand tecnique. love it

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    you can place it over the strings to mute them when tapping with several right hand fingers, etc..

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    yes, i think it will do good in metal. and the tuning features are great if you want to go down in some songs without having to touch the tuning machines.... will try to do some metal

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @Nerka131 it has a piezo pick up on the bridge, but no magnetic pickpus. check out the line6 website to find out more

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @rsix3 that is a feature of the variax guitar

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    VARIAX RULES my friend. IT'S THE MOST AMAZING PIECE OF GEAR I EVER HAD. CAN'T STOP PLAYING WITH IT.... the tuning is within the variax... you can tune each string up or down up to 1 octave without touching the tuning machines.... amazing! check it out, you'll be blown away

  • @Biophob
    @Biophob 14 лет назад

  • @shelyl
    @shelyl 15 лет назад

    Thanks for posting this vid. I am interested in buying the variax 700. Anyhow, I must say that any guitar would sound perfect in your hands.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @ploutoploutwnios you can use the pod x3 as a sound card.

  • @jbudman92

    Your also very talented.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @meliyalvaro son muy buenos los sonidos.... con el palm muting no es del todo bueno pero esta bien

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @IndianathePelimies you can get al the variax sounds without the pod xt live.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    it's a hair band. sometimes when you tap with more than 1 finger on the right hand, you can locate the hair band over the strings to mute unwanted noises

  • @wespaul1981
    @wespaul1981 15 лет назад

    @andyvicius You definitely should, because your demo video is better than any of the ones they've put out themselves, imo. I just got mine today, and am loving exploring all these new sounds. The only thing that troubles me is that I can't seem to dial in a nice, thick distorted sound for metal. Maybe with a bit more fiddling, but I haven't found it yet. I'm in love with the 12 string models, though!

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @giometaxas thanks mate. i think you need a guitar with a humbucker on the neck position to get that sound. so... get a les paul... or, yes with variax you can do it all

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    the tuning thing is a variax guitar feature mate. i'll try to check out your vids soon! cheers!

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @uninoculated thanks mate. i was using ernie ball 10's. no amp, just pod xt live.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    i connect the pod xt live with a regular plug cable to the maya 44 soundcard input.

  • @yorgusguitar
    @yorgusguitar 15 лет назад

    Are the different tunings, acoustic guitar sound, banjo sound, 12 string sound etc. features of the Variax or features of the Live XT? I'm planning to get a Live XT, but I can't afford a Variax right now. Awsome vid man!

  • @grommet123456
    @grommet123456 15 лет назад

    the thing around the neck by the headstock, is to be put farther down the neck to mute out open notes especially with heavy destortion and sweep picking :)

  • @elboloalimenticio
    @elboloalimenticio 14 лет назад

    Muy bien tocado, sobretodo porque tocas Metheny con la 175 y Scofield con la 335... suena muy bien la guitarra pero una pregunta, a cada simulación de guitarra le pusiste también una simulación de amplificador con el pod no??
    Sería una guitarra tan versatil con un amplificador y pedales analógicos?

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    thanks a lot for your kind word tim!
    for this vid i plugged the pod straight to the computer's soundcard.

    @andyvicius No importa amigo, nuevamente te felicito x tu manera de tocar ademas de hacer el mejor demo de el pod xt junto con la variax que he visto. Me encantan los timbres que ocupas,de verdad le sacas partido a tu rig. Me parece que escucho algo de steve howe en tu manera de tocar junto con muchisima influecia Jazz ademas de rock. Saludos fraternales de Chile!!!

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    hey denis,i did reply your question. i don't remember exactly. i think it was the jazzclean(roland jazz chorus emulation), with some reverb. the tone control on the variax was at 50% i would say. hope you get it!!! cheers

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    yes if you buy the software it comes with a special connect. if you have pod xt live, or x3 live or a line 6 amp with special connection for variax, the software is free for you to download

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    you can use the midi, and the line 6 edit soft.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    thanks for your comment!
    the neck on the 700 is kinda similar to a strat i guess, pretty fat. i had my trusty ibanez rg 470 for ten years now, and that is the most confortable guitar for me, but the variax is ok... diferent feel, not so good for shredding, but cool.
    the pod xt live was connected directly to the input on the soundcard.
    recording software is cakewalk sonar 7 producer edition.
    cheers mate

  • @ArchRivalNeo

  • @tapslore
    @tapslore 15 лет назад

    amazing demo, brother.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    you need the variax guitar, and a software called "line 6 WORKBENCH" to edit the tunings and store the preset's on the guitar

  • @psychostew911
    @psychostew911 15 лет назад

    Wow sick job/sound man, love the tuning feature, now i can play low tuning with my floyd rose on demand :P. i also love the 12 string mode, sounds good, how much would this cost in CAD or USD?

  • @mattv888
    @mattv888 15 лет назад

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    the variax cable is included. if you have pod xt live, or x3 live, you don't have to buy workbench. else, you do

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    @SiMpLyAmEtAlHeAd well... the banjo thing.. there are a few lessons on hybrid picking you can look for on the web.. the second is a jazz blues with a walking bass line..

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @Donnan125 i transplanted the electronics to a custom guitar recently.

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    it's used to mute strings, but actually... i don't use it to sweep.... it's used more when you do tapping with more that one finger, or hammer on's from nowhere

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @capth00k thanks mate. if done the "transplant". check out that video response below the main vid

    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    thanks a lot mate! maybe i'll upgrade to x3 live someday... but it seems to me that the construction quality is not as good as xt live.. what do you think about that?

  • @SixGunLover
    @SixGunLover 15 лет назад

    Awesome vid, amazing playing man. I've owned a Variax for nearly a year now, but I'm only just about to get my hands on a PodXT. Does all the software I need for the different tunings etc. come with the XT?

  • @Mario4526
    @Mario4526 15 лет назад

    hey dude got a question can a run the Line 6 POD XT Pro tru a line 6 cab.like can the pod xt act as a amp head.and by the way your playing sick and that guitar is amazing..

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  14 лет назад

    @elboloalimenticio gracias che. si, yo la use conectada al pod... pero he visto algunos videos de la viola enchufada a un ampli cualquiera con pedalitos y va bien. ahora igualmente sale un modelo nuevo, "james taylor variax" deben estar mejor las emulaciones... el problema de esta variax en mi opinion es cuando le pones distorsion... no suena bien. los sonidos limpios suenan barbaro

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    actually i haven't notice that pick attack thing and the latency you mention i'm really happy with this guitar.. thanks for your comment

  • @andresludmer
    @andresludmer  15 лет назад

    to connect the variax with digital cable you need pod xt live, x3 live or any pod with special variax input.
