LINE 6 POD 2.0 [55/97] Rotary

POD EFFECTS: POD ONBOARD EFFECTS

5 • 4

Rotary - This effect simulates the effect of a mic’d, rotating high frequency

speaker horn, like on a Leslie. Listening to this effect in stereo through

headphones could cause motion sickness. Rotary speakers have two speeds: slow

and fast. We’ve set up POD’s Rotary Speaker emulation to select a ﬁxed slow speed

if you tap slowly, and a ﬁxed fast speed if you tap quickly. When you switch from

one speed to the other, you’ll notice that the speed doesn’t change immediately,

but gradually changes from one speed to the other, just as a real rotating speaker’s

speed would ramp from one setting to the other. The Effect Tweak knob controls

the amount of Doppler effect (pitch modulation); Ta p controls the speed.

Delay - Sometimes referred to as echo or slap back. The Effect Tweak knob

controls the level; Ta p controls the delay time – in other words, how far apart the

echoes are spaced from each other. When you are using quicker delay times, we

cut down the number of repeats so you can get those rockabilly and surf slap back

sounds. You can ﬁne tune the number of delay repeats by holding the Ta p button

and turning the Bass knob, set the delay level by holding the Ta p button and

turning the Middle knob, and ﬁne tune your delay time by holding the Ta p

button and turning the Effect Tweak knob. By the way, we let you set the

maximum delay level high enough that your delay’s echoes can be louder than

your direct signal. You may ﬁnd this handy for getting delay effect setups like U2’s

The Edge is known for.

If you’re using POD with a Floor Board or MIDI control, the delay is always

available, even when some other effect is selected. Just switch it on from the Floor

Board Delay On/Off switch, or from the Emagic Sound Diver software, or with a

MIDI Controller message (Appendix D lists MIDI Controllers).
