Variax Bass settings panel (for Bass 700 & 705)
Note: To allow changes made in the GearBox Variax panel control your connected Variax guitar,
you’ll need to be sure to set the POD X3 Live/X3 Pro’s Input screen, Variax option to “Enable Global
Control”. If this option is set to “Disable Global Control”, then the Variax remains “locked” so that
it its settings can only be accessed on the guitar itself.
To follow are the GearBox Variax panel options:
Variax Type - First, select the type of Variax you are using from this menu (Electric, Acoustic or
Bass) to display the matching controls, as shown in the above screenshots.
Variax Model - In this menu you’ll see the specific models all available for your connected Variax.
Note that choosing the setting here will switch your Variax instrument internally, but your Variax
guitar/bass model knob and position toggle switch will not change. If you change the knob/toggle
settings on the Variax guitar itself, then you will see the Variax Model menu item change to reflect
your settings. Within the Model menu, you can choose from all the standard models, custom models,
as well as User model presets that all reside on the internal memory of your Variax. If you also own
the Line 6 Variax Workbench software, then you can edit, customize and save into the User model
bank of your Variax!* To purchase Workbench, just launch Line 6 Monkey and go to the Optional
Add-Ons page.
*Note: The names of the selectable User Models do not reflect Workbench-customized names,
however, if you’ve edited the User models on your Variax using Workbench then the User
models you select from this User Model sub-menu will indeed be your customized settings!
