What is Re-Amping
Re-amping is the process by which you can record a completely dry, unprocessed signal to your DAW
project’s audio track, while monitoring an amp/fx processed tone, and then route the recorded dry
audio back through an amp to apply this sound on the track later. The PODxt family of products
features digital re-amping thru the USB output, allowing you to basically record dry audio and then
later on run the audio back through PODxt to apply your desired Tone to it. This process is covered in
detail in the “PODxt - Audio Signal Routing & Re-Amping” section of the Hardware chapter.
Note that for all Line 6 USB, including PODxt devices, you can alternatively purchase and use the
POD Farm 2 Plug-In Add-On to provide the same “non-destructive” benets within your recording
software! Please check out the “POD Farm™ 2 Plug-In”, chapter, or the Line 6 Online Store for more
info.

What is a Record Send?
A Record Send is a signal routing mechanism utilized in audio hardware and software mixing systems
to allow specic input & output signals to be mixed together and then made available to the recording
inputs in your audio recording software. You can think of a Send as a “virtual” audio cable that carries
a signal between your audio hardware device, POD Farm 2 and other applications on your computer.
All Line 6 hardware offers a number of Record Sends, which are what appear in your DAW software
as audio inputs. When you are using your Line 6 POD Studio/TonePort/GuitarPort device without
the POD Farm 2 standalone application running, these Record Sends carry the unprocessed signal of
whatever you have plugged into the inputs of your device.
When running POD Farm 2 in standalone operation, you can use the Record Sends’ Source selectors
in the Mixer View to set the type of signal that is fed to Record Sends 1-2 and 3-4 (Tone A, Tone B,
Tone A+B or Dry Input), as well as set the output levels. Note that these Send level faders will affect
the recording levels in your DAW audio tracks.
