    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.

    My first attempt at a tone. Probably needs some work but sounds reasonably good to me. I was trying to get that 3 amp centre, left right setup on the Vetta. I used the output panning to left and right to allow for the played note to come from both speakers (2 amps) and then different echo timings for the single repeat on the left and the right. A basic AC30 TB tone with a tube driver for treble boost and an 800ms Echo panned hard left and 1600ms Echo panned hard right with no feedback. Try playing around with a simple pentatonic e.g. E12 E9 B12 B9 G11 G9 D11 D9 A11 A9 E12 E9. Play the first note then wait till the first echo and play the rest with the same timing. Switch off the echo stomps and try a few simple power chord changes. Now I just need to learn some better riffs and scales!
