POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Glossary (What Is...?)
10•23
Tremolo is one of the types Modulation Effects included within POD Farm 2 and Elements Plug-Ins
“Mods” effects menus. 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.

What is Wah?
Wahs is one of the categories of effects within POD Farm 2 and the Elements Plug-Ins. There are two
different Wah models to choose – the Vetta Wah, and the Weeper (or even more Wahs if you own
some of the optional Model Packs). These Wahs are designed after classic wah pedals. Use the knob to
“sweep” through the pedal range for a “parked wah” sound (much like your favorite Michael Schenker
solo). It is also possible to control the Wah position knob remotely, via the POD Farm 2 MIDI control
functionality. Or, the Wah effect in POD Farm 2 Plug-In or Elements Plug-In can be controlled via
your DAW’s parameter automation for those familiar “whacka, whacka” wah pedal effects.
Many of the effects are modeled after classic gear described in the “Model Gallery”.
