Drawing on the legacy of classic full-hollow archtop guitars, the Giulietta VGA-3D guitars add sophisticated 21st century modeling technology to bring you unequaled versatility and advanced performance in a full-scale, compact instrument.
The new VGA-3D is an evolution of the classic, full-hollow archtop guitar. These all-new compact archtops feature sophisticated yet easy to use electronic technology, allowing for more versatility and performance friendly features when recording or playing live. These guitars also feature VOX’s advanced modeling technology, allowing you to access a range of tones never before imagined.
The Giulietta takes modeling technology to another level with models of iconic acoustic guitars at your fingertips. with 3PS provides 4 choices between bright and rich jumbo-sized flat-top acoustic models to small-body acoustic models with elegant mids. In addition to these bread-and-butter acoustic sounds, there is also a nylon string model along with a 12-string model, totaling 6 different acoustic guitar tones to broaden your playing style.
The AREOS-D Digital Modeling System in the Giulietta VGA-3D puts the player in full control of 18 acoustic and electric modeled sounds. This sophisticated system incorporates several elements to achieve it’s incredible sound quality: a magnetic pickup for authentic electric guitar models; a piezo pickup system for rich-sounding traditional instruments; a powerful DSP engine for modeled sounds; familiar volume, tone and selector controls and a Control Module that provides instant access to a wide variety of parameters.
Electric Guitar Modeling
The Giulietta VGA-3D offers 6 different electric guitar models, ranging from glassy, chiming clean to warm and mellow tones. Three humbucking and three single coil models cover a broad range of really useable tones.
The electric models have been built by utilising the sound of the magnetic pickup. With the power of VOX’s AREOS-D Digital Modeling System DSP, these electric guitar models deliver the natural nuances and sounds, and exhibit the dynamic response you’d expect from a quality electric guitar.
Drive Control and Reverb
As well as stunningly realistic electric and acoustic guitar sounds, the Giulietta VGA-3D adds adjustable overdrive for the electric models and reverb for the acoustic+unique models in a way that is user-friendly and modifiable in real time.
Synths
VOX’s AREOS-D Digital Modeling System makes the VGA-3D the first full-hollow body guitar to seamlessly incorporate authentic, tracking-error-free synthesizer models. Explore softer pad-like sounds to aggressive and iconic synth bass sounds with the addition of unique models such as the “Sustain” to expand your tonal pallet. This is ground breaking stuff.
Special Instruments
Versatility was at the top of the list of necessary attributes when developing the Giulietta VGA-3D. If you have always wanted to double on other stringed instruments such as banjo, sitar or resonator guitar, you will no longer have to carry additional gear that will only be used briefly – just dial it in!
Compact Size, Big Tone
Just like the 3P model, the Giulietta 3DS was carefully designed to balance the smaller single cutaway body size and full-scale neck. With this, VOX has been able to create a modern instrument that any player can appreciate, regardless of style.
A piezo-equipped Tune-O-Matic style bridge system contributes to sparkling acoustic instrument models with brilliant clarity and wide-ranging harmonic content. The VOX XLM humbucking pickup produces authentic, touch-sensitive electric instrument models. This provides unrivaled sonic versatility at the player’s fingertips.
VOX string mute
Like the 3PS model, the 3D comes included with a simple-to-use removable string mute that prevents over-ring, which is synonymous with hollow body guitars with a trapeze style tailpiece. What you’re left with is a pure, clean sound of the guitar and accurate tracking.
Looping Nirvana
With the incredible array of tones at your fingertips, the Giulietta 3D becomes the must have tool box for anyone into serious looping. Lay down lush synth pads, funky bass lines and the widest range of melodic instruments easily and seamlessly. Just add a looper!
