 Here is an overview of what VARIAX is
all about ( from the LINE6 web site)
A couple of years before Variax® was born, we
decided to turn our attention from all that guitar gear to the
guitar itself. We wondered—could it be possible to capture a
complete range of this tone in one single instrument? It was a
daunting task, but then so was the idea of squeezing a whole
collection of amps and effects into one little kidney bean shaped
metal box. So we figured, why not give it a go?
 We knew our sounds
would have to be amazingly accurate to meet the needs of
discriminating guitarists, so we began an intensive research
project into guitar physics. We assembled test guitars that would
make Victor Frankenstein blush. We systematically examined every
factor that contributes to a guitar's tone, and developed ways to
measure the complex interactions of vibrating strings, resonant
bodies, and magnetic pickups. More importantly, we developed ways
to capture these interactions mathematically so we could get the
same sounds from our guitar.
 As we refined our
measuring and modeling techniques, we began working on a new,
powerful hardware platform that could deliver our shockingly
accurate sounds. Variax needed to have less noise than a standard
humbucker, the ability to switch sounds in the fraction of a second
that it takes to slap a pickup selector switch to the next
position, and be powered in a variety of ways. And, most
importantly, perform so flawlessly that you could forget it's even
there.
As the body and brain neared completion, it was time for us to
create the soul. We auditioned an amazing array of vintage
instruments to find the ones with the most distinctive voices and
personalities. We applied our painstaking
measuring techniques to these specimens, and refined our models
while constantly referring back to the originals for accuracy. When
the model reached the point not only sounding like the original,
but also being as much fun to play, it was done.The result of our
labors? Variax. An entire guitar collection in a single
instrument
