User Manual
When set to MODEL your guitar tuning is determined by the current
guitar model and Selector Switch position. To see this in action,
enter Variax mode and select the CUSTOM 2 model, which is the
only bank preloaded with alternate tunings from the factory. Now
toggle your selector switch to preview the tunings preloaded with
each model. You can assign alternate tunings to any guitar in the
Guitar Model Selector banks using our Variax Workbench
software.
To bypass the Alternate Tuning feature, simply set the Alternate
Tuning Knob to STANDARD. In Standard mode, every Variax model
will play in standard tuning, including any alt-tuned models like the
ones in the Custom 2 bank.
5. Pickup Selector Switch - In analog mode the selector enables your
magnetic pickups as shown below (1=bridge / 5=neck).

Note: There are two ways to supply power to Variax without a
battery. When connected to VDI Digital Input equipped hardware,
such as a POD X3 Live, power is supplied via this connection. Or, use
the optional XPS-DI direct box/power supply and TRS cable. With
this box you can power your Variax and it also works as an A/B box
to send your signal out of a DI to go direct to a board or acoustic
amplier with certain models.
