Variax combines Line 6's patent-pending digital modeling technology with a custom-crafted solid-body guitar to reproduce the sounds of a variety of well-known vintage electric and acoustic guitars, in addition to other guitar-related instruments, such as a resonator, banjo, and electric sitar. Modeled variations include solid-body, semi hollowbody, and hollow-body electrics with single-coil and humbucking pickups, as well as, several six- and twelve-string acoustics.

Included with Variax is an A/B footswitch enabling guitarists to switch from playing through a guitar amplifier to a PA system hookup. This feature enables the modeling guitar's flat top acoustic tones to be better reproduced live. All of the sounds are accessible from a simple user interface. The characteristic tone and volume control responses of each electric model are also accurately replicated, creating instant familiarity for guitarists.
