    Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).

    The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.

    Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.

    For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.

    Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.

    This is my first patch made with the Helix LT! This royal blood preset utilises the new Poly Pitch effects released in the 3.0 update and has been made to sound as close as possible to Mike's complex setup under the DSP limit. Of course, there may be certain parameters that you'll need to tweak as I used a cheap bass to put this together and yours is almost definitely going to sound different to mine. Designed for use in stomp mode. Although, feel free to create your own snapshots! This setup is also inspired slightly by Royal Blood's cover of Lana Del Rey's "West Coast" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E--zH5synVg) where Mike uses some crazy reverb throughout. This reverb is assigned to both expression pedals: EXP1 controls whether the reverb is on or not; EXP2 controls the mix of the reverb (I found that the reverb is less pronounced in the chorus - maybe because of Ben playing on the ride - but I found that reducing the reverb mix during the chorus helps retain some clarity). As for all the other footswitch assignments, they should all be pretty self-explanatory!
