    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 an attempt at doing "Frippertronics" inside the helix. This patch is not 100%, it's just a starting point that I made. If you come up with something better or cool, let me know! Demo at https://youtu.be/dlL86VTOb2w<br /><br /> Path 1 is minimally set up for what I was doing, feel free to add an amp or whatever you need for your particular setup. Path 2 has all the fun. There is a PitchEcho in front of one of the delays - set to 5ths. Then, the two delays doing the "loop" are mono, but I placed two stereo "Autopan" blocks after them (set at slightly different speeds) to provide some movement. Added a dash of stereo Octoverb to one delay, then push the whole thing thru stereo Dimension and some Glitz reverb. Verb-tastic.<br /><br /> This was built under FW 2.82, so you will need to be up-to-date to load it up.<br /><br /> PATCH NOTES This patch uses Snapshots; I have my Helix set to 4 stomp/4 snapshot mode. The four snapshots are:<br /><br /> DLY BYPASS - Turns off the delays so you can solo over your loop. The delays have tails on, so they keep going. <br /><br /> 100 FB% - This sets the feedback of the two main delays to 100% so the loop goes on "forever."<br /><br /> 60% FB - This changes the feedback to 60% so you can introduce new parts on top of the loop, while the previous loop begins to fade out.<br /><br /> 40% FB - This changes the feedback to 40% so you can stop playing and let the loop "fade out."<br /><br /> The stomps turn on/off the main reverb (Glitz), the Pitch Echo, and the Fuzz.
