General

If you're looking for something completely different, then the VOX Startstream Type 1 might be it. The VSS-1-FBK is an instrument with an avant-garde appearance that offers more sounds than any standard electric guitar. The first thing you'll notice is a futuristic, black three-dimensionally contoured frame that seems to hover around a black mango-wood body, the result of a ground-breaking ergonomic design. Its elegant shape is tailor-made to fit your body like a glove, which makes playing this versatile modelling guitar a real joy.

Starstream Type 1: versatile modelling technology

The term 'versatility' is often used unjustly, but when it comes to the VOX VSS-1, definitely when compared to a standard electric guitar, there couldn't be a more accurate description. Thanks to the Virtual Element Technology, you can pluck the fruits of modern modelling technology. Take advantage of all the sounds and effects this instrument can simulate besides electric guitar, like banjo, sitar, resonator, or any number of acoustic guitars. At the other end of the scale, however, this technical marvel also offers a selection of modern synth sounds. Naturally, you can adjust each sound individually and store your settings for future use.

The VSS-1 in practice

The VOX Starstream Type 1 is the solution for the versatile musician. It's a high-quality guitar that took 4 years to develop and offers you a wide range of possibilities. Besides instrument modelling, you also have an assortment of effects to play around with, including drive and reverb. With a total of 27 sounds spread out over 9 banks, plus six user programs for your own creations, you'll have lots to work with and will be able to find the sounds you prefer with ease. Practising in silence is no problem thanks to the handy headphone connector and to top it all off, the VSS-1 even comes in a robust gig bag.
