Re: variax serial number by on 2010-05-23 15: the 500 is the first model. Then 300 then 600 then 700 and now the tyler. Best bet check out ebay and see what there going for that will give you the best idea. The 500 has not been made for quite some time the 300 and i hear the 600 arent made anymore also the bass guitars and i hear the acoustic nylon are also out of production.

You could do a nice transplant with that one though. You can even get a body from warmouth that the parts drop into. Re: variax serial number by on 2010-05-23 15: i have a proposal for a used am deluxe for 900 euros and 800 for an am std.i m closer to the std because the tone is more bright,sharp and twangy.the strat tone that i want is like Joe Perry's gold sparkle strat on aerosmith's 'crazy'(the amp tone too).i havent founded out which are the pups on this one,but i know he uses a noiseless suhr plate.the std is a bit closer to this tone. I m tending to vintage stuff because i play classic rock.i have a gibson lp std+ the strat that i ll buy and i need a marshall and a fender deluxe reverb.then i ll be calm for a few years! Re: variax serial number by on 2010-05-24 02: im not a big marshall fan accept for the old blues breaker combo amp. Ive got a fender twin reverb and a vox ac 30. Ive been using vox amps for years.

Jtx-69 Serial Numbers - posted in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD: Does anyone know whether you can date a korean JTX through its serial number - i have bought a nice mint second hand JTX-69 and am interested in when it was made (as i understand that earlier models had issues with the.

And have had ocasion to play through a couple of peaveys. I forget wich one but i liked playing through one of there bass amps. I know what you mean about vintage tone. Ive had too many guitars to list but currently have a rickenbacker 325 fender strat, epiphone dot, wildkat, lespaul gold top a danelectro dc59, a melody makeran ej200 sg, and im building a variax transplant with roland capabilities and all the graphtech stuff with 3 texas wound fender pickups.

Those may be changed at some point. And a vox tonelab desktop model. I lean more toard a stevie ray vaughn tone. Re: variax serial number by on 2010-05-24 06: nice gear you have,im curious to test an ac30.i havent own a tube amp yet except that i have played at studio or live with a few.recently i have been visiting some shops to find out whats for me.i tried mesa express 5 25 and lonestar,fender deluxe reverb,hot rod deluxe and champ,vox night train,koch studiotone,marshall haze 40 and ma100,orange rocker30 and tiny terror, carvin nomad 50,bogner alchemist, laney l20 lionheart and lc30.

The only amps that i really liked were the del reverb and the hot rod del.i didnt find sth good for classic rock brit tone.so i found an ad for a 1984 marshall jcm800 4210 50w combo with a changed eminence legend v12 speaker.if this one delivers the typical jcm tone,i ll be fine.i m concerned a bit about the diode clipping in the lead channel though.the price is good,500 euro i like th srv tone too.are you gonna go closer to it by the variax and the texas pups? Re: variax serial number by on 2010-05-24 15: actually i think youll get more of a jimi hendrix tone out of the marshall.

The variax has already been in another dan electro dc 59. I just decided to put it in withall that other stuff mainly thr roland because i can hook up my gr 30 to it and do piano backround or brass right off the guitar atleats thats the plan. I get the srv tones from my strat and the epiphone dot he used a gibson earlier on as well as the no1 strat. You have to be careful with those amps with pcbs in them. I bought one of those digitech jimi hendrix pedals.

Anyhow i had a ad120 valvetronics amp before the ac 30. The hendrix pedal caused a quick feedback and blew the preamp section.

I replaced the parts but no go something else i couldnt find went too. So i stripped the cabinet and might use it as a bottom for the ac.

But remember vox and marshall and one other are all korg products now so. If the boards in the marshalls are similar to the vox then they cant take much high freq.. Interposer Pro R13 Keygen Generator here. I dont know i guess you have to go with what you like. What ever gives you the sound your looking for.

Re: variax serial number by on 2010-05-25 13: no i never had a neighbor complain. Even on low they sound great. But now ive rigged a headphone setup from both amps and my stereo so as not to disturb my neighbors. Im in an apartment building now. I can blast even at 3 am and noone knows. That amp even sounds good with an acoustic played through it. I put in a under saddle one in the ej 200 pictured and in a classical i have in my closit( my willie nelson period) they both sound great through the twin.

Re: variax serial number by on 2010-06-03 13: i got the amp on saturday and it sounds very well.the clean channel is sensitive on dynamics and the lead very good but not that sensitive though.i was playing aerosmith's crazy with the strat,and yes thats the tone i only worry about a buzz that started 2 times when i incresed the volume too much for home(i closed /opened it and it was again ok,maybe it was a scramble because of the electric devices in the room) and when i play clean im hearing like a tube is shaking a bit i havent regreted that i bought it especially if it will function properly.

This new chip is smaller, faster, and more powerful allowing; fuller, clearer models of guitar bodies and pickups; all models to have alternate tunings; improved alternate tuning purity and speed; provide alternate tuning customization; improved modes of operation and editing. The JVT sounds and responds surprisingly more like a traditional guitar.

Variax Workbench Software Variax Workbench software is a virtual custom shop. This free software, which can be downloaded from the Line-6 web site, lets you create custom models on your computer and upload them to your JTV-59 via its built-in USB port.

This combination USB interface and software package for James Tyler Variax guitars allows you to see and hear the physical changes to your custom guitar in real-time.

Ever wonder what a single-coil pickup would sound like on a hollow-body guitar tuned an octave down? Probably not. That's because it wasn't a reality - until now. The Alt Tune Knob Each James Tyler Variax modeling guitar has a dedicated Alt Tune knob.

This knob has 12 settings, including two labeled 'Model' and 'Standard.' Set to 'Model,' the Alt Tune knob lets you access the alternate tunings you created using Variax Workbench virtual guitar workbench software. These tunings are stored on your Variax's Model knob. Set to 'Standard,' the Alt Tune knob overrides saved tunings to set every model to standard 'E-to-E' tuning.

The Alt Tune knob's remaining 10 settings are the most commonly used tunings found in the popular genres of the day. The Virtual capo feature lets you easily transpose any song to the key that suits your vocalist. And you can adjust your tuning on the fly without having to do on 'Workbench' software. Battery powered DSP A proprietary lithium-ion battery delivers at least 12 hours of continuous performance. A 4-LED battery life meter lets you know how much rocking time you have left. Rolling down the volume knob when not playing will automatically put the DSP to sleep and helps maximize battery life. So even with your cable still plugged in, you will not be using battery power.

DSP wakes up instantly when you turn the volume back up. The JTV-59 functions as a standard electric guitar whether the battery installed or not. Includes padded gig bag.

Qualified rating Product is great - already had a Variax, the features of the upgrade (dail-able alt tunings, useful battery and mag p/u) are a major plus over the original models. Product is great - already had a Variax, the features of the upgrade (dail-able alt tunings, useful battery and mag p/u) are a major plus over the original models. The build was top notch, no sharp edges from the frets, no over glues or blemishes. Working with the Guitar Center store was a major let down! Store product was back-ordered for a month while guitarcenter.com showed it was 'In-stock' - can't you share products?

Once the purchase was made store personnel showed little interest in me as a customer, felt rushed out the door or off the phone. And I pick it up still in the box - what's the point of even using the store? Buying on-line and getting it shipped to the store (or my home) would have been the same process. If the store wants to build some customer loyalty, consider unboxing the item and making sure there was no damage and everything works (would save me the trouble once I get it home - store didn't want to open it to check these things), maybe even a basic set-up, verify strings are unbroken, intonation is adequate, etc. In my opinion, keep selling the products on-line, but close the store and save everyone some money. Not Recommended I owned this guitar for a little less than two years. I got some good use out of it, but it fell out of style with me.

The guitar is not worth what. I owned this guitar for a little less than two years. I got some good use out of it, but it fell out of style with me. The guitar is not worth what you pay for it, yet they charge so much because of the electronic capabilities of this guitar. It functions as promised, but not at a level of quality that really makes it usable in any professional setting. This guitar is 'gimmicky.'

The frets buzzed, the volume pots were always noisy, the pickup selector malfunctioned frequently, and other issues that simply shouldn't be dealt with on a thousand dollar instrument. I just sold mine back to GC at a huge loss. The resale value on these instruments are horrible because the brand is attached to a negative stigma, the physical build quality is low, and the technology is outdated quickly. The concept Line 6 and James Tyler have created is interesting and innovative, but the execution isn't quite there yet.

Comments about Line 6 JTV-59 Variax Electric Guitar: This is my second variax. Had a previous generation electric 700 and liked the flexibility and sounds, but the guitar quality was mediocre. The JTV-59 is stunning, for many reasons. The quality of construction is among the best I've played. (other currently owned guitars are Fender American Strat Plus, Martin Clapton Signature, Ovation Legend limited, TJ Badin) The concept of using a James Tyler design makes for a guitar that is balanced, musical, and lively. The samples have clarity that rival the original tones. It is a joy to play.

The new alt tuning knob extends instant playability,lowering or alternating the tuning. I needed to adjust intonation, otherwise, the guitar showed up with excellent setup out of the box. Comments about Line 6 JTV-59 Variax Electric Guitar: What more could you ask for in one guitar?!!

I play in a worship band at our church and at other Christian events in the area. The song styles vary quite a bit. Previously I had to choose between acoustic and electric parts. Now I can switch easily during a song and play both. The modeling is amazingly accurate and the build quality is very good at this price. The magnetic pickups also sound great on their own and have plenty of that LP-style punch. Mine arrived in tune and with perfect intonation.

I immediately put on a new set of strings (9s) and tweaked the bridge height slightly and now the set up is just perfect for me. The Tyler bridge is very solid and very adjustable, as are the tuners.

The strings ring out clearly with this nut and there is no string pinching. I love integration with the HD500 pedal and the fact that you don't need the variax battery with using the DVI cable. The battery gives you the flexibility to use the JTV without a Line6 POD. I purchased the full 25ft DVI cable from Line 6, which is much better quality than the CAT5 interface cable that comes with the guitar. It's a thicker, flexible CAT5 cable with solid metal connectors on both ends which is perfect for live performances.

I also purchase a SKB hardshell case. The gig bag it comes with is nice but I wanted more protection for my investment. Overall, I'm very happy with it!

Great job Line 6 and James Tyler on this guitar. The is the only way I can afford to have multiple classic guitars at my finger tips all wrapped up in such a beautiful and playable package.

Thanks, Fred. Comments about Line 6 JTV-59 Variax Electric Guitar: I am a Variax fan, having owned the 500, and 600s for studio and live play. While they were versatile and suitable for my uses, I never really felt comfortable with the neck, fit or finish.

The JTV 59 (and I also own a JTV 69) is an absolute monster. First, the guitar is stunning; I have the cherry sunburst model.

Just picking the guitar up, you can feel the heft (definitely Les Paul-like in heft), as well as the quality in craftsmanship. It's one of those guitars that your friends/fans will look at and say 'wow, nice', without even hearing it or holding it. The neck is amazing. I especially love the dug out neck/body connection, that gives you access all the way up the neck. My fingers sail on this guitar. I'm 53 years old, and honestly, I havent played with such reckless abandon since high school. The models are amazing as well, especially the acoustic models, now making palm muting a lot more organic sounding, in both the acoustic and electric models.

The magnetic pickups are likewise excellent. Not much in the way of hum, and it's pretty difficult to discern the magnetic from the piezos (a lot more obvious on the JTV 69). If there is any criticism at all, it would be that the knobs are seated in an unusual manner on the guitar; slightly sunken and tilted somewhat. Also, I'm not crazy about how the pickup toggle switch is finished, as there is a bit of a gap between the housing and the guitar. This is minor quibbling, though.

The fit and finish is on par with with a Gibson Les Paul with figured top, which are far more expensive, and which don't come close in versatility. Love the guitar. Want to marry it. Comments about Line 6 JTV-59 Variax Electric Guitar: This is a good guitar for the price, not great, but you pay an extra for the electronics. The sounds are great, the software from Line6 not so much, especially if you're on a Mac. My gripe with this guitar is that, for a $1200 guitar it comes with a really bad setup out of the factory. At this price I expect the guitar to be properly setup and play like butter.

Also, the packaging could be better, it's a mess of cables, small boxes etc. Line6 could do a better job at designing a better out of the box experience for what is a premium instrument.

Comments about Line 6 JTV-59 Variax Electric Guitar: Gigged for the first time with the JTV-59 and HD500X. It was awesome. Had 8 patches total set up. Configured the HD500X to select the guitar and tuning as well as the amp and effects.

I used a Cat6 cable wrapped around the guitar cord to connect HD500x to the Variax. Even had one music store employee come up to me while we were setting up to ask why I plugged a Cat6 cable into my Guitar.

I gave him the rundown. I set up 8 different patches with various guitars, tunings, amps effects etc.

Added the patch bank and position by the song on the set list. Worked flawlessly. It beats the heck out of dragging 3 guitars to the gig. The other guitarist brings 5 guitars including a couple of acoustics. I used tele and fender for the stones, with open G tuning one full step down, used a Gibson Firebird with AC30 for Pink Houses by Mellencamp and for Tom Petty tunes etc. It was really cool. Tones are good, close enough so that nobody in bar would have a clue.

Guitar plays well, holds tune etc. It really is a dream rig.

No more boutique amps and guitars for me. Comments about Line 6 JTV-59 Variax Electric Guitar: Bought one 3 years ago. The factory had it more than I did the first year. I sent it in 3 times, I finally figured it out you had to turn the volume past 6 to get rid of the piezo hum.

Now it is broken electronically and sounds terrible. I don't think it is worth fixing, if I get it back and it works like when I first got it, I would kick myself for wasting any more money on it. I love the concept of 25 guitars and the alternate tuning. I even bought a line 6 amp hoping that would help. I can't recommend buying one of these.
