    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.

    switch out the wah for noise gate if you get much noise here...For Dream Rigs- sounds great w DT amps, NFL type IIIe shooting for Jeff Berlin type tone, A really versatile Bass patch-uses Ampeg B-15 Fliptop Pre-amp and Bassman cab w 421 mic for high end (slap and pop), but no cab sound s good too. use the fliptop cab if you want to hear the 8 bass mics. Preset can be playeed with guitar too as there is bass Octaver on FS 1, also Big Muff Pi on FS2, Chorus on 3 and EQ on FS 4. Preset was made w Variax 4 string Bass on Manta Green Channel model. very useful Bass
