Created to provide a wide range of sounds, with 27 instrument models including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, synths and other stringed instruments, the VOX Starstream Type-1 is the ultimate instrument for players looking for complete tonal flexibility and to redefine what the electric guitar can do. Using highly developed DSP logic and fine tuning information from the string itself, Starstream Type-1 provides authentic synth sounds that can be played naturally and without fear of glitches or missed notes.

The AREOS-D Control Module allows for instant access to important tone-shaping parameters.
