Variax is one of Guitarist's "10 ingenious inventions"
Guitarist, June 2004

"... it is genuinely useful in situations where you need access to a whole range of trademark guitar sounds without carting around lots of gear and different instruments...it's hard to believe you aren't playing a guitar with conventional pickups - and that, after all, is the whole point."
Paul White, Sound on Sound, June 2003

Variax is featured as one of Performing magazine's "Hot Picks 2003"
Performing, January/February 2003

"The forward-thinking folks at Line 6 have produced another paradigm-shifting innovation with the introduction of the world’s first modeling guitar. The Variax was the buzz of the show, and for good reason…"
Jimmy Leslie, Gig, October 2002

"Has the future of the guitar arrived?"
Guitarist-Soho Soundhouse, June 2004

"Called a 'modeling guitar' because its impressive digital brain can faithfully reproduce dozens of classic guitar sounds."
Jeff Kitts, Revolver, August 2003

"…the Variax truly is unique in guitar technology. For a single guitar to model so many instruments as close as it does is quite an accomplishment. While I could not directly compare everything… most of the guitars I did put to the ultimate test passed with siginificant accuracy."
Geno Porfido, Recording, July 2003

"No need to bring a number of guitars to gigs; even acoustic sounds are covered with a flick of the switch."
Pete Weiss, Tape Op, May/June 2003

"A modeling guitar with chameleon-like qualities. I must admit that I began the review process with a healthy degree of skepticism...After using the Variax in a number of situations, however, I've become a believer. For a performing guitarist who needs to get a huge variety of sounds, the Variax would be a godsend. In the studio, it could also be a tremendously useful tool. Once again, Line 6 has upped the ante in the field of digital modeling."
Variax receives the following ratings:
Features: 4.5/5
Sound Quality: 4/5
Ease of Use: 4.5/5
Value: 4.5/5.
Mike Levine, Onstage, May/June 2003

"Line 6 does for guitars what the company did for amps."
George Peterson, Mix, January 2003

"Although not an acoustic guitar in even a remote sense of the term, Line 6's new Variax may be the first of a new breed of acoustic-electric hybrid instruments. The guitar features onboard digital modeling electronics capable of reproducing the sounds of virtually any guitar imaginable."
Teja Gerken, Acoustic Guitar, November 2002

"This year's Nashville NAMM gave guitarists plenty to write home about; Line 6's Variax modeling guitar was one of the blockbuster stringed instrument debuts."
Greg Rule, Keyboard, October 2002

"Line 6 once again made everybody sit-up and take note with its new Variax modeling guitar."
Michael Matray, Music Inc, September 2002

"Line 6 emphasizes that this custom-crafted solid-body guitar requires no new learning curve or special knowledge to pick it up and rock…The guitar models are realistic with both the tone and volume controls emulating the same action you’d find on the actual guitar."
Barry Rudolph, Music Connection, August 19-September 1, 2002
