This chapter provides details on selecting & editing the exemplary HD Guitar Amp &

Preamp Models, all of which have been newly developed by our amazing team of sound

engineers for POD® HD! Also covered here are details on Speaker Cabs, Mic Models and

putting Amp Models to use.

Amp Model Positioning

Each Preset includes the ability to run one or two Amp or Preamp Models. Much like

each FX Block, the Amp Block can be repositioned using the MOVE button (please see

“Moving FX Blocks” on page 3•4 ). Here we’ll cover the impact on your signal ﬂow when

placing the Amp in different positions.

*Note: Looking for a Mic Preamp Model? You can ﬁnd the Vintage Pre Model located

within the “Preamps+EQ” category of any FX Block. Having this Preamp Model within

the FX Blocks (rather than in the Amp Blocks) allows you the ﬂexibility of using it with or

without the Amp models, and positioning it anywhere in the signal chain. See “Preamp+EQ

Models” on page 7•9

for more info.

Amps Within Paths A & B

You’ll ﬁnd that a number of the Factory Presets within the “Dual Tones” Set List already

utilize this type of conﬁguration. When moving the single Amp Model into the parallel

Paths A/B from the “Pre” position (before the Path A/B split) or “Post” position (after the

Mixer Block), a 2nd Amp B Block is automatically created in Path B. In this conﬁguration,

the top amp is referred to as Amp A and the other Amp B.

Amp Models within Paths A & B

Behaviors for this conﬁguration are:

• Each Amp Block can be individually set to a different Amp or Preamp Model,*

edited and enabled/disabled.
