It works.
We already knew it of course, as the tone match block can improve a pseudo-acoustic preset, which is used to give an electric guitar an electro-acoustic sound. That's what I did with the very first preset in my bank A (check my blog ; try that preset with an electric guitar in position 2 or 4 of the pickup selector. It's made for my Ibanez RG though)
However what I did last week is one step further. I used my Ibanez RG (pickup selector = position 4) as source to correct the dull sounding position 4 of my Variax magnetic pickups. Works very well too ! I had to play two songs at a gig where I could bring only one guitar and it has to be the Variax JTV89 as I needed an open tuning. For the other song I wanted to use the magnetic pickups though, and the tone match block saved the day for the clean sounds. Those of the Variax are really dull imho, and with the TM block, I was able to "capture" the clean "quack" of my Ibanez. Not a 100% identical match but more than good enough ! I'll upload some samples and possibly a preset soon, I have some computer issues atm
