WHICH AMPS ARE MODELED?
Note: For the following description of the TubeTone Amp Models, and other references
that you will find throughout this manual, please be aware that Fender, Marshall, Vox,
Boogie, Soldano, Peavey, Roland, Matchless, Arbiter, ADA, Leslie, and other amplifier
model designations, and the names of musical artists and groups, and effects, are all
trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated or affiliated with
Line 6. These marks and names are used solely for the purpose of describing certain
amplifier tones produced using Line 6’s TubeTone modeling technology. The TubeTone
modeling technology provides POD with a wide variety of sounds and effects modeled
after some of the most popular sounds of the classic amps, effects, and artists mentioned
here.
There are sixteen Amp Models available from the POD’s front panel
Amp Model selector. There are also additional Amp Models that can be
accessed via MIDI. Here are the ones called up from the front panel:
POD Clean - To create this Amp Model, we essentially grafted the top end of
a JC-120 (Roland’s popular “Jazz Chorus” solid state combo) onto the bottom end
of a classic Marshall JTM-45 tube head, to give you the crisp and clear top end of a
solid state amp, but with a rich, satisfying tube amp-style bottom.
POD Crunch - Our “boutique” sound. Not too clean, but not too raging. We
spent some time with a rare Dumble combo, and picked up a few tricks from it to
put together this tone. Great for modern blues or jazz, this sound should be like a
fine cognac, smooth and warm going down, but with a nice kick. The
Mid control
is located before the TubeTone
Drive, but the Bass and Treble controls are
placed after the Drive for maximum range.
