Master Output Control - Use the knob and meter here to optimize the audio signal from the Plug-In
fed back to the host (post Plug-In processing).
• If you have a Dual Tone signal path, this controls the total mix of Tones A & B.
• The knob provides level adjustment up to +18 dB of gain - for unity gain, set knob to the dot, as
shown (or just double click on the knob to “reset” to unity).
• 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 overall Plug-In output level.
Global Gate Controls - As its title suggests, this is a Noise Gate effect that is offered at the start of
the signal chain and can be activated at any time, independently of whatever models you have loaded
within the POD Farm 2 Plug-In. Use it to eliminate low amplitude noise on your input signal, such as
the common buzz from guitar pickups. The Global Gate is applied to both Tone A and B using these
controls.
• On/Off Button - Activates or bypasses the Global Gate effect. This Gate button appears lit
when active.
• Threshold Knob - Adjusts the amplitude level to match that of the noise floor you want to
eliminate. This determines at what signal level the “gate” closes and silences the input.
• Decay Knob - Adjusts the duration for which a signal is allowed to sustain before the gate closes
and silences the signal. Set this to allow your notes to sustain to a natural sounding length, just
before the audible signal drops to that of the noise floor (or sooner if you purposely want to create
a “cut-off” effect).
TIP: In addition to this Global Gate, there is also a Noise Gate available within the Gear View’s
Dynamics menu. This Noise Gate can be positioned anywhere within your Tone’s signal path!
View Selection & Tuner Buttons - These six buttons allow you to choose what is displayed in the
panel below. The Tuner button allows you to toggle the Tuner on/off at any time. See the following
sections for details on each of these different Views and the Tuner.
