Telecaster------ valve amp------- GO!

Absolutely, Guest 8.49. I love my Fat Tele through my VT Marshall. It certainly does "GO" but it only goes in a certain direction. Sometimes I want to go a different way which is where the Variax comes in.

Mattkeen, I can usually hear the difference with modelled tones but, using the Variax along with the POD XT floor panel, I'm getting some fantanstic tones. I can't say that, in isolation, you wouldn't tell the difference, your ears may be far superior to mine, but I did my first paid gig 40 years ago and, to me, it's the best new development in many a year and in the general mix of the band my new set-up sounds great. Even drawing praise from other band members!!
Unheard of from non-guitarists!!
