The Line 6 Variax JTV-59 is part of Line 6 Variax Systems and offers a wide range of authentic simulations of different guitar types. These include coveted models such as the classic models of the 1950s and 60s from American production, as well as acoustic and rare stringed instruments. The L.R. Baggs Radiance Hex piezo pickup in the bridge transfers the vibration of the strings to the processor integrated in the guitar. Of course, the JTV-59 also works with standard amplifiers and effect devices. The sound of the two passive Alnico humbuckers is available at the usual jack socket for electric guitars. In conjunction with various Line6 devices, however, sound processing is purely digital. POD HD's multi-effect footswitch allows you to switch not only the effect preset, but also the guitar model. This makes it possible to change clear Single Coil Clean sounds into a rich singing High Gain Humbucker sound at the push of a button.
Line 6 Variax JTV-59 EB BlackThis is a great guitar. I have been very happy with all aspects of the guitar. The sound and operation of the guitar is just as it is in the videos. Setting up the software takes a bit of work but everything is available online to guide you through the process step by step. I am looking forward to pairing the guitar with the HD500 in the near future
