Page 7, Setup: Variax Options
These options are for use with a Line 6 Variax® guitar when connected to the VARIAX
input on the back of POD HD Pro.
• Variax Control (Knob 1): The option determines whether your Variax Model and
Tone Knob settings are controlled by POD HD Pro. This is a global setting.
• Set to Enabled if you’d like POD HD Pro to control your Variax. You’ll see
additional options in the screen when you have a Variax connected and choose
Enabled. These options differ depending on the specific Variax type that is
connected, (Electric, Acoustic or Bass) as described below.
Note: When set to “Enabled,” all the Variax parameter values are saved per Preset. When
set to “Disabled” they are not. Therefore, if you have some Presets where you’ll be using
your Variax, but do NOT want its settings changed, keep this set to “Enabled” and choose
“Don’t Force” for the Model parameter. This allows you to switch Presets to a state where
your Variax settings do not change, then switch to a Preset where they do!
• Set to Disabled and your Variax will be heard, but it won’t respond to Preset
changes. When set to Disabled, there will be no additional options displayed.
To follow are the specific options displayed in this screen with the different Variax
instruments in use. All Variax types offer the global Variax Ctl option, accessible via Multi-
