Model Types and Mono/Stereo Signal Routing
It is important to note that some Models (all EQs, Wahs, Volume & FX Loop, and some
Modulations, Filters, Pitches & Delays) preserve a stereo output within the signal chain,
while others (all Dynamics, Distortions, all Amps & Preamps, and other various Models)
are mono FX and do not. The POD HD Pro X Inputs 1 & 2 are fed into the signal chain
as stereo (see “Page 3, Setup: Input Options” on page 2•4). Therefore, wherever a
mono FX or Amp Model is inserted, the Left & Right channels of this stereo signal is
“mono-ized” and heard as a two-channel mono signal at the Model’s output. To follow
are a few examples:
Ping Pong Delay
No mono-output FX or Amp follows Delay
• As shown above, if you place the Ping Pong Delay (a stereo-output FX Model)
after any other FX and/or Amp Models, you’ll hear its delay repeats bounce back
and forth between your Left and Right outputs.
Ping Pong Delay
A Distortion (mono) FX Model follows Delay
Ping Pong Delay
An Amp Model Follows Delay, within same Path
• If you place the Ping Pong Delay immediately before a mono FX Model (as shown
above, left) or Amp Model within the same Path (shown above, right), you’ll hear
its delays “mono-ized,” equally through both the Left and Right outputs.
