• Knob 3 - Selects the Mic Model.
• Knob 4 - When the current Preset includes two Amp models, this selects which
Amp (the Amp within Path A or B) is controlled by the Amp Tone knobs.
As you change the Amp Model (Knob 1), you’ll also see that default Cab and Mic models
are automatically selected for each Amp or Preamp (see “About Default Amp Settings”
on page 6•5).ButyoucanuseKnobs3&4toselectanyCaband/orMicyoulike.These

Attention Bass Players: Try the Flip Top Bass Amp Model for some thump! Note that this
Model loads with a matching 1x15 Flip Top speaker cab, as well as a full set of Mic Model
options for stellar bass tones. (And yes, you can indeed select any other Cab with the Flip
Top Bass Amp Model, or choose the Flip Top Cab with any Guitar Amp Model!) See the
following sections for details about these models.
Amp and Preamp Models
We’ve included a complete set of “Preamp” versions of each Amp as well. Choose one of
these to obtain the tone of just the preamp stage of the amp - recommended when feeding
your POD HD output into an external amplifier.*
A Preamp Model is selected for Amp B
*Note that, whether an Amp or Preamp is selected, the additional application of Cab and
Mic Models is dependent upon the SETUP:OUTPUT settings. Please see “Page4,Setup:
Output Options” on page 2•7
.
The overall volume levels among the different Preamp Models varies - this is normal. The
Preamp sections of each of the classic amplifiers we modeled are indeed quite different,
and we’ve set the Preamps’ default values to best match the type of power amp into which
they are intended to feed. Tweak the DRIVE and VOLUME knobs to optimize the level
for your specific needs!
