    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.

    I haven't uploaded a patch on here for a while, but today I was listening to the 2007 album, And We Fell Into A Dream, by Bill Nelson. Oh, yeah - definitely time to dig out the old "EBow" and see if I could get anywhere with the atmosphere of the album. Probably not! Ha ha ha! Anyhow - here's a little something that I knocked together while aiming to get a flavour of Bill's sonic stuff. The mix level (between 60 and 10%) on the 2nd echo block is controlled by EXP2. Bill is quite an exponent of reverse tape fx and I originally had one in there (along with some other stuff) but took it out when it all got a bit crazy with the EBow. Mess with it until you get what you want. If you don't know about Bill Nelson - what is there I can tell you about one of the most pioneering musicians around. Well, he is an English singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, painter, video artist, writer and experimental musician. He rose to prominence as the chief songwriter, vocalist and guitarist of the rock group Be-Bop Deluxe, which he formed in the 1970s. Nelson has been described as "one of the most underrated guitarists of the seventies art rock movement". In 2015, he was recognised with the Visionary award at the Progressive Music Awards. I first encountered Bill when his band played my Art School Christmas Dance 1968. I have been a big fan ever since. Check out his stuff. https://youtu.be/H6MJIEwXc1I
