About the Model Gallery
You probably know by now that we’re relentless tone fanatics here at Line 6. Once we’ve set our sights
on creating a software emulation of a particular piece of gear, we go to great lengths to be sure that
we’ve gotten our hands on the very best example of an amp, preamp, effect or speaker cabinet that we
can find to study. We will (and have) scoured the globe in search of just the right specimen — that
one, very particular piece of “holy grail” gear that has the magic. In fact, we pride ourselves on hand
selecting each and every one of the amps, effect, preamps and speaker cabinets that we studied to create
the software models in POD Farm, and for all Line 6 software and hardware products. The result is an
extensive line up of Models, some completely original to Line 6, some based on well-loved classics.
To follow is the list of amp, cab and FX models that are included as “Factory-Standard*” models for
POD Studio, TonePort, GuitarPort devices, as well as for the standard POD Farm License for iLok.
Note that the new POD Studio UX1 & UX2 devices also come with the FX Junkie Model Pack Add-
On included for free!
For the breakdown of the Factory-Standard Models for each supported Line 6 device, please see the
Model List section in this chapter. For descriptions of the Factory-Standard Models included in POD
X3 and PODxt family devices, please refer to your Pilot’s Handbook , and more info is also available in
the Model Pack Handbooks .
*Factory-Standard Models are those that are included as permanently installed models on a Line
6 device. These models cannot be transferred to other Line 6 devices. Likewise, Add-Ons that
come included with Line 6 device (such as the FX Junkie Model Pack Add-On that comes free
on POD Studio UX1 & UX2 devices), are also “fixed” to the hardware. However, it is possible
to transfer the License Key that you are granted for any Add-Ons that you purchase separately
between any supporting Line 6 device that you own by using Line 6 Monkey. Please see the
Start Here chapter or Line 6 Online Support for more about Transferring License Keys.
Guitar Amp & Cab Models
1964 Blackface ‘Lux
The Holy Grail for many blues, country, and “roots” players has
been a blackface Fender ® Deluxe Reverb ® . After listening to
quite a few candidates back when we were seeking the ultimate
Deluxe Reverb ® for our 1964 Blackface ‘Lux model to be based
on*, we stumbled upon an extremely cool ‘64 Deluxe Reverb ® .
We still haven’t found one better.
Most players love a Deluxe Reverb ® when it’s turned up to
about 7 for a nice gritty sound that cleans up when you back
off your guitar’s volume knob just a little. Notice how the tone
control response changes as this Amp Model’s Drive is changed: clean settings are crisp and present,
while more driven settings will mellow the high end. This is typical of what you get from a Deluxe
Reverb ® and is nicely captured here. The Deluxe Reverb ® itself has only Bass and Treble controls,
leaving us, once again, with the prospect of a couple knobs with nothing to say for themselves. But
fear not; in this case, we’ve set up the model’s Middle knob so you can add some post-Amp Model
Midrange contouring for a little more flexibility, while Presence adds, well, Presence. Once again, set
the Middle knob to its “neutral” 12 o’clock position and the Presence knob to 0 for the classic Deluxe
