    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.

    Here's my attempt at Tom DeLonge's tone, primarily from Enema of the State. I used my Les Paul with a Super '57 in the bridge primarily to dial it in. It's a completely dry tone, with some optional reverb. For amps, I used a Cali Rectifier through a 4x12 V30 cab in the left channel, and a Brit 2204 through a 4x12 Greenback 25 cab in the right. It sounds great when played along to the record, I think, and also with Take off your Pants and Jacket and even Dude Ranch. Feel free to make changes according to your own taste! One minor note: I turned "Guitar In Pad" ON in the Global Settings, as I feel it tames the overall feel of the Helix and tightens things up just a bit with humbuckers.
