This chapter provides details on selecting & editing the exemplary HD Guitar Amp &
Preamp Models, all of which have been newly developed by our amazing team of sound
engineers for POD® HD Pro! Also covered here are details on Speaker Cabs, Mic Models
and putting Amp Models to use.
Amp Model Positioning
Each Preset includes the ability to run one or two Amp or Preamp Models. Much like
each FX Block, the Amp Block can be repositioned using the MOVE button (please see
“Moving FX Blocks” on page 3•5 ). Here we’ll cover the impact on your signal flow when
placing the Amp in different positions.
Amps Within Paths A & B
You’ll find that a number of the Factory Presets already utilize this type of configuration.
When moving the single Amp Model into the parallel Paths A/B, a 2nd Amp B Block is
automatically created in Path B. In this configuration, the top amp is referred to as Amp
A and the other Amp B.

Amp Models within Paths A & B
Behaviors for this configuration are:
• Each Amp Block can be individually set to a different Amp or Preamp Model,*
edited and enabled/disabled.
*Note: Some Amp/Preamp Models utilize more DSP than others. You may find it necessary
to bypass or remove some FX Models to enable two simultaneous Amps - see “Dynamic
DSP” on page 3•8
for more info.
