Variax Workbench

Well I am a happy bunny.

Since I updated to Windows 7 - 64 bit, I have not been able to tweek, either of my variax's.

I am happy to report that Line 6 have now native drivers for the Workbench. Now these were released back in November but I have only just got round to re-checking the site. This means that I can now customise the settings and remove the ones guitar types I no longer need and put in some song specific models.

It must be Christmas. lol!
