POD Farm 1.01 – Glossary (What Is...?)

What is a Tone Preset?

A Tone Preset is a saved file on your computer which holds all controls that affect the processed sound applied to POD Farm. This includes Amp, Cab, Mic and Effects models in use, their bypass on/ off state, their parameter settings, their display within the POD Farm GUI, the Tone Preset Name, and any text data entered in the Text Info dialog. Note that POD Farm is also capable of creating and saving a Tone preset that contains one or two complete tones.

Tone Presets are stored on your computer as .l6t files and are accessed from either the Presets View, or one of the Tone Preset drop-down menus in the POD Farm GUI. Please see the sections on the Presets View, as well as How To Load and Save Tones.

What is Tremolo?

Tremolo is another of POD Farm’s Modulation Effects, found in the Mods menu in Gear View. Tremolo produces a pulsing sound, and based on that astonishing effect built into yester-year’s tube amps. It works by turning the volume of your input down and back up again repeatedly, at the rate set via the SPEED knob. Many of the effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.

What is a USB hub?

A USB hub is a hardware device that can be connected to a computer’s “built-in” USB port to expand the number of USB connections to the computer. However, please note that it is specifically recommended that you always connect your Line 6 device directly into your computer’s built-in USB port and not into a USB hub. USB hubs are known to sometimes cause communication errors for audio devices, which require a nice fast, uninterrupted flow of audio data.
