Slap Plate
This reverb dishes up the vibe of early rock and roll recordings, like Sam Phillips’ great work at Sun
Studios. Thank you very much.

Wah
The POD Farm 2 Wah effects simulate classic wah pedals, and can be used to provide a “parked
wah” sound. Or, like most POD Farm 2 amp & effect parameters, the Wah’s “position” control can
be controlled remotely by a connected MIDI pedal, such as the Line 6 FBV
®
MkII Series controllers!
Also, if using POD Farm 2 Plug-In, the Wah position can be controlled via your DAW software’s
parameter automation. These can be great ways to get some true wah action into your performance.
Vetta Wah
This is the original PODxt/Vetta Wah Model, which is a bit of a play on an old classic. We’ve made it
a nice balanced wah, designed to sound great in most any style of playing.

Weeper
Modeled after* an Arbiter
®
Cry Baby, this is yet another variation on the original Vox
®
wah design.
The biggest variation between many of these wah pedals is the inductor and the tolerances of the
capacitors and resistors that make up the lter circuit. Just like vintage guitar amps, two of them made
on the same day, by the same person, from the same parts bin might sound totally different. As always,
we went for the best examples we could nd.

Noise Gate
The Noise Gate is designed to reduce the noise that your guitar or other source makes when you are
not playing. You can think of it as a gate that opens to let your guitar or other sound through when you
play, and closes when you stop playing to shut out the noise you would otherwise hear after you stop
playing. The Noise Gate works by detecting the input level coming into POD Farm 2. When the input
level is below the level set for the gate’s THRESHOLD knob, the gate will close at the speed set by the
Noise Gate’s DECAY knob, and cut off the signal from your input. When the input level is above the
threshold, the gate will open to let your input signal through. Turning the Threshold knob clockwise
increases the aggressiveness of the gate in its effort to cut off sound. The idea is to set the threshold low
enough so that it doesn’t cut off the signal as you are playing or a note is sustaining, but high enough
so that the background noise from your guitar or other source doesn’t keep the gate open. When you’re
