library. We’ll be continually adding to this great collection of sounds ourselves as well,
to make it the place for great guitar tone.
Tuning POD for use with amplifiers – POD has always had an AMP/DIRECT
switch for optimizing POD to run in various setups. The DIRECT position is used
when you’re running POD directly into your mixer or recorder. The AMP position is
used when you’re using POD as a tone-shaping front-end for another guitar amplifier.
We’ve now added a choice of tuning modes for the AMP position, selectable at power
up. By default, POD expects to be plugged into the guitar input of an open-backed
combo. But with the new tuning modes, you can alternatively optimize your POD to
run into a power amp, or with closed-back cabinets. Details are in the pages ahead,
along with some illustrations that folks suggested would be helpful for getting
PODsters plugged in and happening with a variety of setups.
IMPROVEMENTS & CHANGES
While we were in there adding the new features to POD, we also took the time to
make a few additional improvements:
Intelligent Channel Switching – Channel switching has been made more
intelligent, and is faster and smoother as a result. When changing channels, POD only
updates those parameters that change from one channel to another. So, for instance, if
two channels have all the same settings except the reverb level, switching between
them means POD only updates the reverb level. That means the channel switch is
nearly instantaneous, and as glitch-free as possible.
New SoundDiver – The SoundDiver software has also been updated, and now
includes support for the Flextone II amplifiers, POD Pro, and POD 2.0 as well as
original PODs (be sure to check the Support section of www.line6.com for the latest
free SoundDiver download).
Better Tuner – The chromatic tuner now tracks faster and more accurately.
No Delay Remain – With the original POD, delays would “trail” over as you
changed patches. This was eliminated in Version 2.0 to provide the horsepower to
make the other changes and improvements possible.
