POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Standalone Operation

Record Send Controls
The controls in this section allow you to select the type of signal routed to POD Farm 2 Record Sends
1-2 & 3-4 (or Sends 9-10 & 11-12 for UX8 devices), and adjust Send output levels. You can think
of the two Record Sends as “virtual pipelines” that each carry a stereo output signal from POD Farm
2, allowing you to select your POD Farm signals within your recording software as Input sources for
recording into audio tracks.

Once you’ve installed the Line 6 USB audio device driver (which you did automatically when you
installed POD Farm 2) and connected the USB cable, these Record Sends are established on your
computer and accessible within the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Control Panel dialog. Note that these Sends
carry audio back and forth regardless if you are using POD Farm 2 in standalone operation or not. And,
for POD X3 & PODxt devices (which do not utilize standalone operation) you can still access the
device’s Record Sends within audio software on your computer to utilize your device as a sound card
for high quality audio recording and playback. For all POD Studio, TonePort and GuitarPort devices,
the Record Sends carry the “unprocessed” output of whatever you’re plugging into your device, but if
you launch POD Farm 2 in standalone operation, you can process whatever Source you are inputting
into your Line 6 device with all those luscious Tones!
For more about your Line 6 device’s Record Sends and their use when not running POD Farm 2 in
standalone operation, please see “Line 6 Driver Panel & Recording” on page 3•1.
Record Send Source Menus
Select the audio Source you want fed independently to each stereo Record Send. If POD Farm 2 is in
Single Tone mode, the options available in the Send Source menus are:
• Tone A - The fully processed signal fed from Tone A.
• Tone A (semi) - A signal from Tone A which is processed only by any existing Amp/Cab/
Preamp and effects models positioned to the left of them (i.e. - “Pre” positioned effects).
• Dry - A completely unprocessed signal from the Tone A assigned input source.
• If POD Farm 2 is in Dual Tone mode, the options available in the Send Source menus are:
• Tone A - The fully processed signal fed from Tone A.
• Tone B - The fully processed signal fed from Tone B.
• Tone A+B - The fully processed signals fed from both Tone A & B.
• Dry - A completely unprocessed signal from the Tone A & B assigned input sources.
