Note that the “Variax Ch1” and “Variax Ch2” options are provided for the James Tyler
Variax (Ch1=Modeling, Ch2=Magnetic pickups). Please refer to your Tyler Variax
documentation for details. If you own an original Variax instrument, you can use “Variax”
or “Variax Ch1” as your input setting.
About Source Input Signal Routing: It is important to note how POD HD Pro actually
routesSourceInputs1and2throughAmp&FXBlocksthatarepositioned“Pre”position.
The following behaviors apply:
• In a configuration with no Amp or FX Blocks in Pre, Input 1 is fed only to Path A
andInput2onlytoPathB.Therefore,thisisthebestcongurationifyouwantto
retain discrete Input Sources into Paths A & B.
• Placing an Amp Block or an active mono FX Model in Pre results in a “summing”
ofInputSources1&2,feedingthesame,combinedsignalintothesePre-positioned
Models, and thus into each Path A & B. You may need to adjust your instrument’s
volume level to avoid overloading your Pre-positioned Amp or FX Models.
• Placing a Stereo FX Model in Pre results in the left channel FX output being fed to
Path A and its right output to Path B.*
• The Mixer Block’s Volume and Pan options provide independent control for Path
A & B outputs before they are fed through any Blocks positioned “Post” the Mixer.
