Dynamic DSP
We’ve oered up a whole lot of sound possibilities in POD HD Pro X and it can take
some serious Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to run these goodies. Rather than limit
your creative potential with fewer Models or signal routing options, we chose to
implement a “Dynamic DSP” system, which dynamically assigns DSP resources to
accommodate your tone congurations. When creating a tone that utilizes several
heavy-hitting DSP Models, it is possible to surpass the amount of processing power
available. In these cases, you’ll see the DSP LIMIT REACHED indicator appear, and
the current Model is bypassed to allow your tone to remain active.

In the above example, trying to change the Model for a 2nd Amp placed our tone over
the DSP limit. Therefore, the DSP LIMIT REACHED message is shown temporarily,
and the Amp B Model we selected is automatically bypassed, as indicated by the DSP
Over message. When the DSP Limit is reached, you have a few options to free up DSP
resources.
• Try using dierent Amp Models. Some of the HD Amp Models require more DSP
power than others, so try switching to a dierent Amp Model.
• Use only one Amp Model rather than two.
• Try toggling Amp and/or FX Models “O” or set the Block’s Model to “None,” (see
“FX Blocks” on page 3•1). Some FX types, such as Pitch Shifters and Reverbs,
utilize DSP more heavily.
Note: Setting an Amp or FX Block to “None” more substantially reduces the Block’s DSP usage
than toggling its Model to “Off.”
• Once you’re happy with your customized tone, save it so you can recall it later.
