[sdiy] The Chameleon Guitar

[Paul Maddox]

Hi,

   The DSP board is a SoundBite board from Freescale, nice.

But I have to ask the question, what does this have that the line 6  
Variax doesn't?

   Get a Variax and you have resonators, sitars, different guitars,  
acoustics, 12 strings and so on. You can also retune the strings in  
the DSP. Hook it up to their USB interface and you can the mix and  
match pickups, different pickup positions types of body (acoustic,  
semi acoustic, solid, etc).

   Or did I miss the point?
