POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Standalone Operation
6•8
• If you have a Dual Tone signal path, this controls the total mix of Tones A & B.
• The knob provides level adjustment from 0 (silence) to 100% (unity gain).
• Stereo level meters provide peak display with clip indicators.
TIP: Many models within POD Farm 2 are capable of adding a significant amount of gain to
your input signal, such as amps, distortions, compressors, etc. When using these type of models
it is advised to adjust their individual “volume” and “gain” knobs to avoid boosting the output
signal too high. Watch the Master Output meter and make sure it never indicates clipping. The
Master Output knob can also be used to fine tune the POD Farm 2 main output level.
Mixer View
When utilizing POD Farm 2 in standalone operation, many of your key controls are found within the
Mixer View, where you can control numerous Input and Output levels & signal routings!
Choosing your POD Farm 2 Source Inputs
In POD Farm 2, the “Source” inputs are the physical inputs on your Line 6 hardware (Instrument, Mic,
Line In, etc.), where you connect your guitar, bass, mic or other line-level devices to feed their signal
into POD Farm 2.
• For Line 6 devices that offer a single input and single tone capability (GX, D.I. and GuitarPort
devices), this Instrument Input is the “xed” Source.
• For all other POD Studio & TonePort devices, there are multiple input capabilities and, therefore,
you’ll see Source Select menus within the POD Farm 2 Mixer View for Tone A & Tone B.
Input Source Select Menus
POD Farm 2 offers independent Input Source Selectors for Tone A & Tone B
• Unlike the POD Farm 2 Plug-In interface, there is no Input Volume knob for the standalone
application. To adjust the input levels of your Sources, use your guitar’s volume knob, the Mic
Gain knobs on your Line 6 hardware, or the output controls on any source device that is feeding
into your Line 6 hardware. As always, is best to watch the Tone input meters and maintain a
robust input signal, but to avoid “clipping!”
Once you have your guitar, bass, mic, or line level item(s) plugged into your device, use the Source
Select menu(s) to choose which of these “sources” you want fed into POD Farm 2 for each Tone path.
