What is the Bypass button?
All amp & effects models include their own “bypass” button on then, which you’ll see whenever you
hover your mouse over a model within the Signal Path View. Engaging the Bypass button turns the
amp/effect model’s processing “off”, yet still allows the signal to pass through it unprocessed.

Note that you’ll also see a bypass button for each model at the top left of its Edit Panel is displayed in
the Panel View, which toggles this same function on/off.

What is Chorus?
Chorus is one of the several “Mods” (modulation) category effects in POD Farm. Chorus, like all
“modulation effects”, add a very short delayed repeat to the original signal, and then “modulates” the
pitch of the delayed signal using an oscillator. The Depth knob controls the intensity of the oscillation,
while the Speed controls its rate. Chorus is generally used to give a “lush” or “swimmy” sound to guitar.
Andy Summers of the Police, for instance, made chorus an important part of his signature sound. Some
effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.
