    Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).

    The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.

    Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.

    For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.

    Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.

    Although not a complex tone, this is designed to be used for a "multi-purpose" setting. I find myself needing to incorporate a variety of different tones because of the array of music I play at church. But I also love to plug in and play with some of my favorite artists. The amp I'm using here is the ARCHtype that features 2 amazing impulse responses from 3sigma audio. I use the Fender Twin 2x12 to emphasize some clear highs and to warm it up, I use the Suhr 4x12 that really rounds it out. There are 3 intended OD's. The Timmy i use as a light OD, just post break-up, that can be used to stack on the Stupor OD or on top of the JHS Double Barrel. The Double Barrel i have going through the fx loop (note: the FX loop will be empty of course but use any external pedal for a good mid gain crunch). I use the double barrel as a mid crunch and the StuporOD for lead tones which again can stack with the Timmy. Lots of delays, the "Swole" is yes... for the dudes out their for their massive gains :-) but it's primarily used for volume swells (I added the 4 multi-tap delay). The particle verb is great for "Lion and the Lamb" type songs. I left all the eq's alone because everyone has their preference on that. The sounds guys at my church have been fooled believing I'm going through a tube amp... so I thank the impulse responses here to give that great overall tone. The cleans are spanky and the grit can get very dirty. Hope you like!
