Blast From The Past
If you’ve not been following my previous blog posts about the Line 6 – James Tyler Variax guitars, then click here: http://rowbinet.co.uk/category/line-6/line-6-variax-newsinfo/ There’s also a separate JTV59 in depth review from fellow Line 6 User Expert and Rowbinet guest blogger Nick Mattocks which you will also find via that link.
So what’s the point of me reviewing the same model of JTV59 too? Well everyone has different opinions, as well as having different physical guitars of the same type (which should of course be almost identical)…

Line 6 JTV and Paul Hindmarsh Embark On UK Tour!
What’s your favourite superlative? Like a rock star throwback from the 1980′s crossed with a Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) wannabe: My favourite superlative has to be AWESOME!… I say it far more than any self respecting guitarist should, but much like my GAS (Gear acquisition Syndrome), it’s a hard habit to break.
On this occasion I am forced to make an exception, and only because AWESOME! just will not cover it.

Line 6 Announce POD HD Pro Rack Processor
The mothership has landed, and what an impressive mothership it is!
The latest Line 6 multi-FX and amp modeler to be branded with the POD HD moniker is the all new POD HD Pro. It’s similar to the rest of the POD HD family and still boasts 22 amazingly detailed amp models, 16 cab models, 8 mic models, and over 100 high quality M-Series FX. The easy to use interface will be familiar to you if you’ve used a POD HD500 or HD bean, but simple to work out if you’re new to the POD HD line or amp modelers in general. Obviously the Pro model has some extra features which will certainly appeal more to studio users as well as those of us who like to keep our gear in a rack at the back of the stage and control it with an FBV Shortboard front of stage.
Line 6 James Tyler Variax JTV59 CSB Expert Review
I received my new James Tyler Variax JTV-59 last Friday (17 June 2011) which I ordered and paid for in August 2010. My initial fevered G.A.S. fuelled excitement wore off months ago, but I have to say I am stoked with the new guitar. I felt compelled to put something down in writing about my first 48 hours of ownership and thought it might be of some help to anyone who is perhaps considering a JTV-59 or for those that might still be awaiting the arrival of their guitars.
I am an L6 Expert User over on the Line 6 forums (see here for more info: http://line6.com/community/docs/DOC-2120), but I have tried to tell it exactly the way it is for me without bias.
Anyway, for those of you that might be interested, download the whole review HERE.
