The Strat model on the Variax has been one of the most talked about and debated models included.
I have been doing custom Strat banks/tweaks that have been widely popular and used within the Variax community.
This is most expansive Strat collection I've ever put together! It inclueds some tweaked and refined patches I've worked on in the past as well as many new banks with a wide range of pickup configurations.
The Variax Strat body with 12 complete banks of custom pickup variations. Each bank has 5 unique presets for a total of total of 60 variations!
These include the Strat body with the following configurations:
Strat Fat - A thicker sounding Strat from the stock tones
Strat Natural - A tweaked version to give authentic Strat tone
Strat Lipstick - A Strat with lipstick style pickups
Strat Custom - Hotter output with a mix of single coil and P90 pickups
Super Strat SSH - High output Strat with single single humbucker pickup configuration.
Super Strat SSP90 - Same configuration as the SSH, but with P90 in the brige
Strat with Les Paul/PAF pickups
Strat with Tele pickups
Strat with 72 Custom Tele pickups
Strat with Mini Humbuckers
Strat with P90 pickups
Strat 12 String
All banks that are 2 pickup configuration (neck & bridge) include a series, parallel, and reversed polarity variation of the middle position.
Also Includes the Helix preset used to dial in these models. A Litigator amp model based preset with drive and delay options for a very versatile blues/rock preset.
