My Line 6 Variax 300 acoustic takes about a half hour to "warm up" before it functions properly. I half to believe that something in the circuitry has a soldering issue, or a specific part is failing. I have a very experienced friend looking into the problem (microscope and micro soldering capability), but no luck so far. I know the source is NOT the pre-amp. Sound familiar?

SOURCE: i'm looking for the variax 700 acoustic manual

Go to the Line 6 website <line6.com> and go to support, downloads. The manual is available in pdf format there.

SOURCE: I have a variax 700 modelling acoustic guitar, On

I don't have a Variax but it sounds like an IC (integrated circuit) inside the guitar is getting hot and until it cools down, it does not function properly. Try the Line 6 website to find the nearest repair center. Good Luck!

SOURCE: after hour of playing the amp starts the effect popping sound

there is an open connection, most likely right off the input jack ,causing this issue. Resolder it or retension the jack connection.

SOURCE: Have a Line 6 Variax 300. Start to play for around

Sounds like it is overheating and protection circuit cuts it out.

Try putting a fan on it or driving it less hard.

SOURCE: a 700 series Line 6 Variax,noisy hiss

The hissing is caused by a bad connection, most likely at the cable jack. Try replacing it and while you're doing that check the rest of the components - especially the potentiometers, used ones generate a lot of static.
