About the Model Gallery
You probably know by now that we’re relentless tone fanatics here at Line 6. Once we’ve set our sights
on creating a software emulation of a particular piece of gear, we go to great lengths to be sure that
we’ve gotten our hands on the very best example of an amp, preamp, effect or speaker cabinet that we
can nd to study. We will (and have) scoured the globe in search of just the right specimen that
one, very particular piece of “holy grail” gear that has the magic. In fact, we pride ourselves on hand
selecting each and every one of the amps, effect, preamps and speaker cabinets that we studied to
create the software models in POD Farm™ 2, and for all Line 6 software and hardware products. The
result is an extensive line up of Models, some completely original to Line 6, some based on well-loved
classics.
To follow is the list of amp, cab and FX models that are included as “Factory-Standard”* models for
POD Studio™, TonePort™, GuitarPort™ devices, as well as for the standard POD Farm 2 License for
iLok. Note that the POD Studio UX1, UX2 & KB37 devices also come with the FX Junkie Model
Pack Add-On included for free!
For the breakdown of the Factory-Standard Models for each supported Line 6 device, please see the
“Model List” on page 7•25. For descriptions of the Factory-Standard Models included in POD
®
X3 and
POD
®
xt family devices, please refer to your Pilot’s Handbook, and more info is also available in the
Model Pack Handbooks.
*Factory-Standard Models are those that are included as permanently installed models on a Line
6 device. These models cannot be transferred to other Line 6 devices. Likewise, Add-Ons that
come included with Line 6 device (such as the FX Junkie Model Pack Add-On that comes free
on POD Studio UX1, UX2 & KB37 devices), are also “fixed” to the hardware. However, it is
possible to transfer the License Key that you are granted for any Add-Ons that you purchase
separately between any supporting Line 6 device that you own by using Line 6 Monkey. Please
see “Product Activation & Authorization” on page 1•3 chapter or Line 6 Online Support for more
about Transferring License Keys.
Guitar Amp & Cab Models
1964 Blackface ‘Lux
The Holy Grail for many blues, country, and “roots” players has
been a blackface Fender
®
Deluxe Reverb
®
. After listening to
quite a few candidates back when we were seeking the ultimate
Deluxe Reverb
®
for our 1964 Blackface ‘Lux model to be based
on,* we stumbled upon an extremely cool ‘64 Deluxe Reverb
®
.
We still haven’t found one better.
Most players love a Deluxe Reverb
®
when it’s turned up to
about 7 for a nice gritty sound that cleans up when you back
off your guitar’s volume knob just a little. Notice how the tone control response changes as this Amp
Model’s Drive is changed: clean settings are crisp and present, while more driven settings will mellow
the high end. This is typical of what you get from a Deluxe Reverb
®
and is nicely captured here. The
Deluxe Reverb
®
itself has only Bass and Treble controls, leaving us, once again, with the prospect
of a couple knobs with nothing to say for themselves. But fear not; in this case, we’ve set up the
model’s Middle knob so you can add some post-Amp Model Midrange contouring for a little more
flexibility, while Presence adds, well, Presence. Once again, set the Middle knob to its “neutral” 12
