    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.

    This is my take on Tom Delonge's live tone from 1999-2002. I set up this tone using my Tom Delonge strat. He really used a triple rec and jcm900 but since the helix doesn't have those I used a dual rec and jcm800. Dirt patch is both amps together with the jcm800 delivering more of the clarity and the mesa delivering a lot of the dirt. The clean setting on here is solely the jcm800. I've created some snapshots here as well that come in real handy in my opinion for nailing Tom's live tone during this era. I've included a clean+chorus snapshot as well as a clean+phaser one. This is NOT based off of blink's studio tone, if it was I'd be using a twin reverb for the cleans or a cleaner amp than a jcm800. This is solely based on his live tone during this era.
