MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED?

4 • 8

Amp Model provides more wide-ranging tone controls. With the Plexi, once

you’re overdriven, the tone controls really don’t do much, but POD will allow you

to scoop out the mids even at the highest Drive settings.

Line 6 Blues (Hold Tap + Line 6 Drive) - This tone is based on the '65

Marshall JTM-45 Bluesbreaker but incorporates wider range tone controls. Once

you get into higher Drive settings, this Amp Model begins to transition into a

variant of the Budda Twinmaster (a high end boutique amp) for sweeter overdrive

tonality.

Line 6 Insane (Hold Tap + Line 6 Layer) - Our goal here was to provide you

with as much input gain distortion as possible short of complete meltdown. You

get ridiculous, rich tube drive to shame the distortion of pretty much any amp on

the planet (sort of like a Dual Rectiﬁer on 10 being used as a preamp for a

Soldano), while still retaining tonal deﬁnition and character. As a result, you get

way lots of bottom end and cabinet character with tons of wide-ranging tone

shaping. Crank up the Drive control and take no prisoners!

Small Tweed #2 (Hold Tap + Small Tweed) - Modeled after a 1960 Tweed

Champ, this is a great sound when the Drive is cranked (not bad clean, either).

These amps were originally designed to be sold to beginners, but rock and rollers

quickly discovered that you could get a great distorted sound at fairly low volume

levels. Many of the classic guitar solos of the 50’s were recorded through a Champ.

The Champ had no tone control, only volume. With your POD, it’s easy to get a

classic Champ tone. Just leave all the Bass, Middle, and Treble controls parked

at 12 o’clock, which means they are “ﬂat,” making no contribution to the tone.

Still, we’d hate to waste those things, so we ﬁgured out a way to put the Bass,

Middle, and Treble controls to work without mucking about with the

authenticity of this Amp Model. When using this Amp Model, all these tone

controls are applied after the Amp Model processing, which essentially lets you

EQ up your tone as you would do on a mixing console after recording your amp.

Remember, for the authentic emulated sound of the Champ, set all the tone

controls at 12 o’clock.
