The signal flow architecture of each Preset is comprised of 3 main sections where Amp & FX Blocks can be positioned: Pre, Post and parallel Paths A & B.

Overview

At the bottom of the Signal Flow View screen, you’ll see up to four parameters that are accessed using the Multi-function knobs 1-4.

1•2

Accessing parameters with the Multi-select Knobs

These parameters are specific to the currently selected Block and allow you to choose new Models & edit parameters. Or, you can dive deeper using the Edit Mode and access additional settings in other screens, as covered in the following chapters.

Big UserView

This screen simply provides you with one BIG display of the currently loaded Preset number — convenient for dark stages!

Overview

The Tuner screen

Note that the Tuner receives a signal only from the POD HD Pro Input 1 source.

Pluck an individual string on your guitar and you’ll see the name of the note displayed. When the graphic bar is to the left of center, your string is flat; when it is to the right, your string is sharp. When the bar is within the center range, triangles will appear above and below it, indicating your string is in tune.

•Reference (Knob 1): If you’d like to tune to a reference other than standard 440Hz, select from 425 to 455Hz.

•Audio (Knob 2): Select Mute to silence POD HD Pro output while tuning, or select Bypass to hear your guitar dry.

Press the TAP switch, or any other button, to exit Tuner Mode.

Overview

TapTempo

Tap Tempo is the term we use to refer to the “System Tempo” value that is

accessed via the TAP button on your device. Tap rhythmically to set your Tempo. 1•5 Alternatively, you can set a numerical Tempo value within Setup (see “Page 6,

MIDI/Tempo Options” on page 2•10). This setting is saved per Preset.

You’ll see the TAP switch blink to indicate your current Tap Tempo BPM (if your Tap LED option is set to “On” — see “Page 6, MIDI/Tempo Options” on page 2•10). Tempo-based FX (Modulation, Filter & Delay FX) that offer a Tempo Sync parameter can optionally be set to a note division of this Tap Tempo value.

Connections

Please refer to your POD HD Pro Pilot’s Guide for descriptions of the Input & Output connections. You’ll find more details on their specific uses within the following chapters as well!

2•2

The top portion of the screen lists the Flash Memory and USB Firmware versions currently installed on your POD HD Pro device. The lower portion of the screen offers four options, adjustable using the Multi-function Knobs 1 — 4.

•Footswitch Mode (Knob 1): This option applies to a connected Line 6 FBV Controller’s A, B, C & D footswitches (also see “Appendix B: FBV Foot Controllers” on page B•1). You’ll see your POD HD Pro Performance View screen reflect the functions of these buttons according to the mode selected here (see “Performance View” on page 1•3). This setting is global.

•In “ABCD” Mode: The A, B, C & D FBV footswitches recall the current Bank’s Presets A—D.

•In “FS 5-8” Mode: The A, B, C & D FBV footswitches toggle the FS 5-8 assigned Models On/Off.

•Amp Knobs Display (Knob 2): When set to “On,” allows the LCD screen to momentarily display the actual Amp Tone Knob values whenever adjusting any physical amp knob. This setting is global.

•Looper FS Display (Knob 3): When Looper Mode is active (Looper Mode can be accessed when an FBV device is connected), this option determines how and when the Looper screen is displayed (see page 8•1). This setting is global.

•All Views: When Looper Mode is On, the Looper screen is always displayed.

•Performance View: When Looper Mode is On, displays the Looper screen, or the other Performance View (Signal Flow or Big User) screens, by toggling the VIEW button. This option can be useful for referencing your Presets or adjusting Models while Looping.

System Setup

•Trails (Knob 4): When set to “On,” allows the echo repeats and/or decay of Delay and Reverb FX to continue when the Model is toggled Off. With the Trails option “Off” the decay is muted instantly when toggling the Model Off. This setting is saved per Preset. (Note that this feature does not provide a “spillover” of the FX decay when changing Presets.)

2•3

Page 2, Setup:Utilities Options

The options at the bottom of the screen are as follows — all are global settings.

•LCD Contrast (Knob 1): Adjusts the screen’s contrast.

•Tap Tempo LED (Knob 2): Choose “On” to have the LED light for the TAP button (or connected FBV TAP footswitch) flash to indicate the current Tap Tempo value. Choose “Off” to have it remain unlit.

•AC Frequency (Knob 3): All HD Amp Models include simulation of AC hum, typical of the AC Vacuum Tube Heater component — an important part of the tonality of a tube amplifier. Set the AC Rate to match that of the USA (60Hz) or UK (50Hz) frequency for authenticity. (This setting may be subtle depending on the current Amp Model settings, and may be more apparent when synchronizing this setting with the AC rate of any tube amplifier that POD HD Pro may be plugged into.)

•FBV Express (Knob 4): This option applies only to a connected Line 6 FBV Controller. It should only be set to “On” specifically for a FBV Express MkII model device. Please see “Setup Options for FBV” on page B•2.

System Setup

Page 3, Setup: Input Options

The Inputs Setup page allows you to select which of the device’s audio inputs are used as the “source” – sort of like a built-in, programmable patchbay. There is also a control which adjusts the Guitar input impedance.

2•4

•Input 1 and Input 2 Source (Knobs 1 & 2) — Select the physical input(s) that you want to be the “source” which feeds into the signal path. Note that you can choose different Sources to independently feed each signal path, or choose Same to feed a common Source into both paths.

•The Variax and Variax Mag Input Source options are provided for Line 6 Variax® guitars when connected into the POD HD Pro VARIAX Digital Input (VDI).

•With a James Tyler® Variax® (JTV), the “Variax” Input Source receives the Model or Magnetic signal, depending on the JTV’s Model switch settings.* The “Variax Mag” Input Source receives only the JTV’s Magnetic Pickup signal.

*Note: With a JTV in use, the “Variax” Input Source selection also recalls whether you were using mags or models per preset, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off – no need for manual selection or input changes.

•If you own a first-generation Variax instrument, it is recommended to choose the Variax Input Source option. Please also refer to your Variax documentation.

•Guitar In-Z — Select the input impedance of the Guitar input. This feature affects tone and feel because your guitar pickups are being loaded as they would be by an effect pedal or a tube amplifier.

Note: The Guitar In-Z setting affects the GUITAR IN input only. Please see the Impedance Ratings table at the end of this section to reference the input impedance of each individual model.

System Setup

•The Auto option dynamically sets the input impedance to match the input impedance of the very first Amp or FX model in your POD HD signal chain.

•Or, you can manually select from a variety of impedance values from low to high

(22k, 32k, 70k, 90k, 136k, 230k, 1M, or 3.5M). A lower value will typically result in some high frequency attenuation, lower gain and overall “softer” feel. A higher value provides full frequency response, higher gain and overall “tighter” feel.

applied per Preset, or globally.

•Preset — Recalling a preset will load the Input 1 Source, Input 2 Source and Guitar In-Z parameter settings as last saved with the individual preset.

•Global — Once the “Global” option is selected here, the other three Input options’ values on this Setup page (Input Sources 1 and 2, and Guitar In-Z) are utilized globally, regardless of their values that are saved with each individual preset. The Input values you choose on this Setup page are then retained independently for the Inputs Setup — Global option. When you change the Inputs Setup back to “Preset,” the Input options’ values saved with each individual preset are once again utilized.

Note: Saving a preset while this option is set to “Global” will write the current global Inputs and Guitar In-Z values to the individual, saved preset.

System Setup

About Source Input Signal Routing

It is important to note how POD HD Pro actually routes Source Inputs 1 and 2 through

Amp & FX Blocks that are positioned “Pre” position. The following behaviors apply:

•Placing an Amp Block or an active mono FX Model in Pre results in a “summing” of Input Sources 1 & 2, feeding the same, combined signal into these Pre-positioned

Models, and thus into each Path A & B. You may need to adjust your instrument’s volume level to avoid overloading your Pre-positioned Amp or FX Models.

•Placing a Stereo FX Model in Pre results in the left channel FX output being fed to Path A and its right output to Path B.*

•The Mixer Block’s Volume and Pan options provide independent control for Path A & B outputs before they are fed through any Blocks positioned “Post” the Mixer.

•By setting Input 2 to “Same,” this effectively routes your Input Source to both stereo

Paths A & B (which is how you can feed one guitar input into two Amp Models and/ or parallel FX, for example).

*Please also see “Model Types and Mono/Stereo Signal Routing” on page 3•6 for more about how mono and stereo FX affect your signal chain.

System Setup

Page 4, Setup: Output Options

The Mode setting on this page allows you to configure the type of signal fed to your POD HD Pro outputs to optimize for direct recording versus connecting to an external amplifier.

Note that this Mode setting affects the signal fed to the POD HD Pro Left & Right 2•8 Balanced, Unbalanced, Digital & Headphone outputs, as well as the signal fed to the USB

Record Send & L6 LINK™ output.

Knob 1 selects the Output Mode. This is a global setting.

•Studio/Direct: Typically the best option when connecting “Direct” to a mixing console or recording device. This signal includes “Studio” Cab Models, Mic Model and an “AIR” convolution to best emulate a mic’ed amp within a room.

•Combo and Stack settings: Optimizes your tone for connecting to an external amplifier. The signal includes “Live” Cab Models,with no Mic Model or “AIR” convolution, with a special EQ curve added for each.

•Combo Front & Stack Front: For connecting into the front input of a typical combo amp or amp head + external cab, respectively. When choosing either of these Modes, you’ll see these additional options for further tone shaping:

•Lows (Knob 2): Attenuates the low frequencies.

System Setup

•Focus (Knob 3): Increases the overall midrange.

•Highs (Knob 4): Attenuates the high frequencies.

•Combo Power Amp & Stack Power Amp: For connecting to the power amp of a combo or head amp.

recommend that you choose a Preamp Model from the Amp Model menu (rather than one of the “Full” Amp Models). HD Preamp Models include no power amp emulation, making them typically better suited for this connection. That said, there is no wrong choice! PODs have always been about flexibility… Check out all the possibilities and decide which Models work best for your tone!

Page 5, Setup: Digital Output Options

These options are strictly for configuring the signal fed to the 24-bit digital outputs (S/ PDIF or AES/EBU). All settings are global. When connecting to another digital device, it is best to clock the external device to follow POD HD Pro (with POD HD Pro as the “master” device) to maintain proper synchronization — please see your digital device’s documentation for its digital clock features.

Note: The AES/EBU — L6 LINK output is an XLR jack that can be used for either type of connection (also see “Page 9, Setup: L6 LINK Audio” on page 2•17). The AES/EBU

options in this screen apply only the AES/EBU output and do not affect the L6 LINK audio signal when connected to a Line 6 DT Series amplifier.

System Setup

•Digital Output (Knob 1): Selects the type of output mode signal.

•Match Outputs: Uses the setting as configured on the Setup:Outputs screen — see page 2•8.

•Dry Input: Your Source Input signal with no Amp, Cab, Mic, “E.R.” or FX processing applied. (Handy for recording a dry signal in your DAW, to which you

•Sample Rate (Knob 2): Selects the sample rate: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz.

When connecting to another device’s S/PDIF or AES/EBU input, always be sure to set both units to utilize the same sample rate.

•Digital Level (Knob 3): Increases the amplitude of the S/PDIF or AES/EBU signal:

0 dB to +12 dB.

•Digital Format (Knob 4): Choose between settings for the S/PDIF or AES/EBU digital outputs.

Page 6, MIDI/Tempo Options

•MIDI Channel (Knob 1): Sets the “System” MIDI Channel that POD HD Pro utilizes for both receiving and sending MIDI communication via the MIDI DIN Input/Output. Choose any individual Channel 1 — 16, or “Omni” for all Channels.* This is a global setting.

*Note: The MIDI Channel selected here also affects the MIDI Channel settings utilized by L6 LINK — see “Page 10, Setup: L6 LINK Control” on page 2•17.

•MIDI Out/Thru (Knob 2): Allows the MIDI Out DIN to be switched between a MIDI Output versus MIDI Output + Thru.

System Setup

• Tempo Sync (Knob 3): The “Speed” or “Time” parameters of all tempo-based FX (Modulation, Pitch & Delays) can optionally be set to a note value to follow the (Knob 4) Tempo BPM value. This Tempo Sync option is a global setting that allows you to choose whether the FX follow the Tap Tempo as a per-Preset value or globally.

with the Preset.

•Tempo (Knob 4): Enter in a specific “Tap Tempo” for your current Preset (as opposed to pressing rhythmically on the TAP button). This value is saved individually per Preset.

Page 7, Setup:Variax Options

As illustrated above, Setup page 7 will display additional, model-specific options when a

Variax instrument is connected to the POD HD Pro VARIAX (VDI) input. The specific Variax family and firmware version are displayed at the top right of the screen when the Variax is connected. Available options and behaviors displayed will differ depending on the Variax type and model you have connected, as described in the following sections. With any Variax connected to the VDI input, the Knob 1 option functionality is as follows.

•Variax Control (Knob 1): Choose whether you want to assign all your Variax settings on this Setup pg 7 screen on a per Preset basis or Globally.*

•When set to “Preset,” all the parameter settings shown on the Variax Setup screens (Setup pages 7 & are saved and recalled individually per POD HD

Pro preset. You’ll see additional options in the screen when you have a Variax connected and choose “Preset.”

System Setup

Also note that when any of these JTV controls are locked, changing the JTV guitar’s Model Encoder knob automatically always resets all to unlocked.

•Setting the JTV Volume and/or Tone knobs to “Locked” can be desirable when the knobs are assigned to remotely control any POD HD Pro Amp or FX parameters — see “Expression Pedal & Variax® Knob Controller Assignment” on page B•16 for details.

•It can also be handy to “Lock” the JTV Pickup Toggle switch — for example, when switching between Acoustic (Model) and Electric (Mag) tones, you can lock the Acoustic Model controls so that tweaking knobs and switching pickups when playing the Electric sound won’t affect the sound of the Acoustic when you switch back.

•Tone (Knob 4): Allows the JTV Tone knob value to be saved with the current preset, or applied Globally, per the Variax Control (Knob 1) setting.

Variax Electric

All first generation Variax Electric Guitars are supported.

System Setup

•Variax Control (Knob 1): See page 2•11.

•Model (Knob 2): Selects the Variax Model & pickup position setting. Choose the “Don’t Force” option if you prefer to not have the Variax guitar’s model changed by the Model value saved within the POD HD Pro presets.

•Local Control (Knob 3): This feature is not applicable for first generation Variax

•Tone (Knob 4): Allows the Variax guitar’s Tone knob value to be saved with the current preset, if desired.

Variax Acoustic 700

For a Variax Acoustic Guitar, you’ll see two Setup pages, 7a and 7b, to accommodate the additional controls. Multifunction Knobs 1, 2 & 3 are common controls, shown on both

Setup pages. Knob 4 is unique on each page.

•Variax Control (Knob 1): See page 2•11.

•Model (Knob 2 — pgs. 7a & b): Selects the Variax Acoustic Model. Choose the “Don’t Force” option if you prefer to not have the JTV local Model changed by the Model value saved within the POD HD Pro presets.

•Local Control (Knob 3 — pgs. 7a & b): This feature is not applicable for Variax Acoustic, therefore, no options are available.

•Mic Position (Knob 4 — pg 7a): Changing this value simulates changing the mic position on the acoustic from closer to further from the soundhole.

•Comp (Knob 4 on pg 7b): Selects the amount of compression effect applied to the Variax Acoustic tone.

System Setup

Variax Bass 700 & 705

For a Variax Bass, you’ll see three Setup pages, 7a, 7b & 7c to accommodate all the controls on the Bass. Multifunction Knobs 1, 2 & 3 on all pages are common controls. Knob 4 on each page is unique.

2•15

•Variax Control (Knob 1 — pgs. 7a, b & c): See page 2•11.

•Model (Knob 2 — pgs. 7a, b & c): Selects the Variax Bass Guitar Model. Choose the “Don’t Force” option if you prefer to not have the Variax Bass Model changed by the Model value saved within any POD HD Pro preset.

•Blend (Knob 4 — pg. 7a): Adjust this controls the balance between a neck and bridge pickup tone on the Bass.

•Bass (Knob 4 — pg. 7b): Adjusts the amount of bass frequencies.

•Treble (Knob 4 — pg. 7c): Adjusts the amount of treble frequencies.

System Setup

•Variax Tuning (Knob 1): Choose “Don’t Force” if you do not want the POD HD Pro preset to affect the local tuning on your JTV guitar. Choose “Custom” to create a tuning of your own, which can be saved with the current preset.

•String Select (Knob 3): Select the desired guitar string, 1 though 6, for which you want to change the pitch.

•Note Offset (Knob 4): Choose the amount of half-steps, positive or negative, for which you want to raise or lower the pitch of the selected string. The resulting note will then be displayed on the tuning graphic at the top of the screen. For example, in the screenshot above, we’ve altered the low E string down two half-steps to a D note.*

*Note: The offset value will always be accurate — the note labels displayed assume the guitar is tuned to standard pitch (E, A, D, G, B, E), with the A using a 440Hz reference pitch.

These options allow you to dictate how up to four connected Line 6 DT Series amplifiers each “follow” the POD HD Pro Amp Models & settings. Parameters 1 — 4 correspond to L6 LINK connected DT amplifiers 1 — 4, respectively.

System Setup

•Each DT amplifier can be set independently to follow either the current Preset’s Amp Model A or Amp Model B.

•The DT amplifier automatically configures its power amp Topology settings to match the selected Amp Model A or B.

•The DT amp controls are also synced to the selected Amp Model A or B.

2•18 • Alternatively, you can select a MIDI Channel to set the DT amp’s MIDI communication channel. This effectively sets the respective DT amp to utilize its own internal Amp Model (rather than the POD HD Pro Amp Model), and “syncs” its front panel controls with other DT Series amps that are set to the same MIDI Channel.

• FX Model (Knob 2): Choose the desired Model from the Model Type list.

Features & Functionality

•FX Parameters (Knob 3): Choose from up to 5 adjustable parameters. Alternatively, double-press the ENTER button to access all the Model’s parameters in one screen — see “FX Edit Mode” on page 5•1.

•Parameter Value (Knob 4): Adjusts the value for the currently selected parameter.

FX Loop

For any one of the 8 FX Blocks, you can load the FX Loop rather than an FX Model. This allows you to position the POD HD Pro hardware FX Loop anywhere you like within the current signal path — even within one of the parallel Paths A or B!

The Signal Flow View with the FX Loop selected

Note that it is necessary to set one of the FX Blocks within your Preset to the “FX Loop” before you’ll hear the signal fed through your SEND & RETURN device connections.

Features & Functionality

Access options for the FX Loop at the bottom of the Signal Flow View, or in the Edit Mode screen. You can also toggle the FX Loop “On” or “Off” by pressing the ENTER button once. The FX Loop’s position and all its parameter values are saved per Preset. Please also see “FX Loop” on page 5•4.

Amp Blocks

A single Amp Block can be placed in the “Pre” or “Post” signal flow positions, or within parallel “Path A.” Or, two Amps can be used if positioned within Paths A & B, as shown 3•3 below. Much like FX Blocks, Amp Blocks can be toggled On/Off and include several editable parameters. But there’s quite a bit more available for Amps as well, so please refer

to the dedicated chapter “Amp, Cab & Mic Models” on page 6•1 for details!

A Preset with two Amp Blocks

Features & Functionality

Mixer Block

The Mixer is permanently positioned at the end of the parallel Paths A & B and provides individual Level and Pan controls for each Paths’ output before fed to the “Post” position. When the Mixer is selected in the Signal Flow View, its four parameters are available at the bottom of the screen, accessible using the Multi-function Knobs 1-4.

3•4

The Signal Flow View with the Mixer Block selected, showing its 4 parameters

•Volume A (Knob 1): Controls the volume level of the Path A output. 0 dB is unity gain.

•Volume B (Knob 2): Controls the volume level of the Path B output. 0 dB is unity gain.

•Pan A (Knob 3): Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of the Path A output.

•Pan B (Knob 4): Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of the Path B output.

Features & Functionality

Moving FX Blocks

Any of the 8 FX Blocks can be moved throughout your tone’s signal flow, providing tremendous routing flexibility. To move any FX Block, start within the Signal Flow View and select the FX Block to be moved. Press the MOVE button and you’ll see the selected FX Block appear “raised” to indicate it is now moveable.

DBL PRESSTO ASSIGN CTL

MOVE

Pressing the Move button to reposition an FX Block

The FX Block can now be moved as follows:

•Use the Nav. Pad buttons to move the FX Block to the desired position.

•Move the FX Block into either Path A or B, and place it before or after an Amp

Model within the path. Use the Nav. Pad buttons to move the FX Block to the opposite path. This allows you to run your effect in “parallel” and blend the individual Path A & B outputs using the Mixer’s Level & Pan options!

•Once the FX Block is in the desired position, press the MOVE button again to drop it into place.

•Amp Blocks can be moved into fixed positions within the Pre or Post signal path areas, or within the Paths A & B — see “Amp Model Positioning” on page 6•1.

•The Looper can also be selected and moved either to the start (“Pre”) or end (“Post”) of the signal flow — see “Looper Mode” on page 8•1.

Features & Functionality

ModelTypes and Mono/Stereo Signal Routing

It is important to note that some Models (all EQs, Wahs, Volume & FX Loop, and some Modulations, Filters, Pitches & Delays) preserve a stereo output within the signal chain, while others (all Dynamics, Distortions, all Amps & Preamps, and other various Models) are mono FX and do not. The POD HD Pro Inputs 1 & 2 are fed into the signal chain as stereo (see “Page 3, Setup: Input Options” on page 2•4). Therefore, wherever a mono FX or Amp Model is inserted, the Left & Right channels of this stereo signal is “monoized” and heard as a two-channel mono signal at the Model’s output. To follow are a few

3•6 examples:

Ping Pong Delay

No mono-output FX or Amp follows Delay

•As shown above, if you place the Ping Pong Delay (a stereo-output FX Model) after any other FX and/or Amp Models, you’ll hear its delay repeats bounce back and forth between your Left and Right outputs.

•If you place the Ping Pong Delay immediately before a mono FX Model (as shown above, left) or Amp Model within the same Path (shown above, right), you’ll hear its delays “mono-ized,” equally through both the Left and Right outputs.
