Variax can change instantly from a classic single-coil solid-body electric to a richly detailed acoustic 12-string at the flick of a switch. String vibrations are detected by a hexaphonic bridge pickup and are converted directly into digital signals that are processed through the stored instrument models, applying unique tonal characteristics. The signal is then converted back to analog, so Variax can be plugged directly into any electric guitar amplifier.
