PODxt Series - V 3.01 The Bender - Step by Step... 25-04-2006

Here's some explanation to guide you through the use of Line 6's take on the classic Wahm Bham pitch shifting effect, called the Bender. There are three parameters to give you full control:

• Heel pitch - from -24 to + 24 in 1 semitone increments also known as Heel down pitch shift
• Toe pitch - from -24 to + 24 in 1 semitone increments also known as Toe down pitch shift
• Mix - from 0 to 127 also known as Wet/Dry mix

While you would think the Bender to be in the Wah section, it's actually in the Stomp section on your PODxt. Just to give you a quick guide how to find it follow these steps.

1. Press Edit on your PODxt
2. Turn your Selectknob clockwise until you'll see stompbox in the display
3. Press the left (1st) softknob to activate model select
4. Turn your Effecttweak knob clockwise untill the last page called Bender
5. Now activate the different (2nd, 3rd, 4th) softknob to adjust your Bender settings
6. *Set your selected pedal to Tweak
7. *Set the Tweak parameter to Stomp Posi(tion)

Another way is to do this

1. Double press Stomp
2. Press the left (1st) softknob to activate model select
3. Turn your Effecttweak knob clockwise untill the last page called Bender
4. Now activate the different (2nd, 3rd, 4th) softknob to adjust your Bender settings
5. *Set your selected pedal to Tweak
6. *Set the Tweak parameter to Stomp Posi(tion)

Now your set. If you wanna activate the Bender in a patch or song simply press the stompbox on/off.

TIP: Be sure to have your assigned pedal in a Toe or Heel position before you engage the stompbox that's been assigned. This avoids some 'out of tune' sounds during your performance.

* These options may differ depending on the Floorboard or PODxt (series) unit

Line 6 Edit 3.0 is out since a couple of days and it when using it with Vetta V3.0 loaded with Third Party "Armin Toolkit" software, it freezes your Vetta.

The Boost - Step by Step Guide... 11-04-2006

Solo Boost - The Vetta community has developed all sorts of expertise around kludging volume boost functionality out the effects loops and such.  We’ve heard you plea.  So here’s a post FX loop variable Boost, (up to +24 dB) that you can assign to a handful of footswitches.  It’s tucked away on Foot Control Page 1. The Boost amount, and the pedal assignment are save-able with each patch.

Here's a step by step guide to activate the Solo Boost -

1. Press the Footcontrol button on your Vetta
2. Turn the page knob next to the LCD display to page 1/8 called pedal set up.
3. Adjust boost level by turning the 4th knob under the LCD display. (adjustable up to +24 dB). The boost amount is save-able with each patch
4. Turn the page knob 'till page 6/8 called switch assign
5. Assign the boost to a pedalbutton:
   - FX Loop or
   - Tremelo or
   - Favorite (this is a global assignment, meaning for every patch)
6. Save the patch

New Footswitch Assignments
The Final Foot Control page offers four new pedal assignment possibilities:  The FX LOOP, TREMOLO and MOD can all be assigned unique functions from a short list and stored with each patch.

Vetta 2.5 Upgrade Notice... 10-04-2006

As an extended service we want to recommend that if you're going to upgrade that you do this with the help of the Monkey. Do it as a complete install so including the model defaults and factory presets. Afterwards you can reload your own patches using a sysex program like MIDI-OX.

There have been reports on different forums that related to a switching delay after the upgrade. This ONLY occurs if you DON'T do the complete upgrade as referred to in the paragraph above here. All reports of the switching delay have been gone after the three steps have been fully implemented.

Follow the three step guide beneath this post and scroll down, then you'll be fine without having to go through the whole process again. Please do not use any Line 6 Edit version after you did the upgrade to V2.5, it could get you into trouble. Allthough some people refer to it as 'save' this isn't the case. Line 6 is working on Line 6 Edit 3.0.

So First things First...

More Detalis... 08-04-2006

A.I.R. II Direct Outs
All the direct out models on the Vetta 2.5 release have been improved. We re-shot our convolutions here at the studio with some Neve 1073's, 33609's and an Apogee®PSX100.  The added authenticity, clarity and tone that this world-class front end provides is simply incredible.

Output Setup Page 4
Wide Mode with Digital Dry - For all your semi-crazed wide mode gurus we’ve added a Digital output mode that will present the Wide Outs on the Direct Out, and the Dry signal on the Digital out.  With wide mode engaged, go the Output Setup Page 4 and select “Dry” from the Source Parameter.

Output Setup Page 3
You’ll notice a handful of changes to the Output Setups.  The 2X12 & 4X12 configurations remain, as does Speakers On/Off.  Added are Loudness and Presence Boost. 

Loudness Compensation - Here’s a neat feature that came from the Vettaville boards. Turning on “Loudness” on Output Page 2, ties a Fletcher Munson loudness curve to the Master Volume control so you can dial in your patches at any volume and have them sound pretty much the same at a variety of master volumes.

Presence Boost - During the development of Vetta II we crafted a presence boost circuit for the HD147® that inspired a lot of people around the office.  That boost character was modeled and added to the Vetta II.  It was, and is defeat-able by dialing your master High EQ back to about 10:00.  We’ve added a parameter so that you can bring the Presence Boost in or out as per your personal preference. 

Foot Control Pages
Whammy has been added to the lists for assignment to Pedal 1.

Solo Boost - The Vetta community has developed all sorts of expertise around kludging volume boost functionality out the effects loops and such.  We’ve heard you plea.  So here’s a post FX loop variable Boost, (up to + 24 dB) that you can assign to a handful of footswitches.  It’s tucked away on Foot Control Page 1.  The Boost amount, and the pedal assignment are save-able with each patch.

First things First... 07-04-2006

Okay, okay, of course you want to get the new software in a.s.a.p.! We Know. But first back up your patches! Just in case you're getting into trouble you can always get back to them once things have cleared up.

So first things first, Back up your patches using Line 6 Edit 2.03 / 2.05. Make also sure you've got another program MIDI program installed like MIDI OX. Why?

Because the new Vetta V2.5 isn't supported by Line 6 Edit 2.03 / 2.05. So you need a different program to back up your patches. If you haven't got the free program get it at the link. As you know work on Line 6 Edit 3.0 is underway. This version will replace all previous versions of Line 6 Edit, combining support for all products, including the integrated browser for online tone library access from within Line 6 Edit. We expect to have this new version of Line 6 Edit available for free online download.

One other thing, in the past people using a HUB during the upgrade got into trouble, so if you can avoid it...

The Bender - Bend it and Blend it... 07-04-2006

Wham Bham thank you mam. Whell mam ain't the one to thank now is she? Nonetheless it's in. You can find it in the stomp category under the Synth/Filter section. On the last page it says Bender. Line 6's take on the classic Wahm Bham pitch shifting effect, this baby's called the Bender.

There are three parameters to give you full control:

• Heel pitch - from -24 to + 24 in 1 semitone increments also known as Heel down pitch shift
• Toe pitch - from -24 to + 24 in 1 semitone increments also known as Toe down pitch shift
• Mix - from 0 to 127 also known as Wet/Dry mix

To activate the pedal go to the footcontrol knob on your vetta, press it and select Bender for pedal 1. Then activate the right stompbox (1,2 or 3) where you've assigned it to. Now you're ready to dive deep down into this new addition and Squeel Baby!

If you wanna activate the Bender in a patch simply press the assigned stompbox on/off.

TIP: Be sure to have your assigned pedal in a Toe or Heel position before you engage the stompbox that's been assigned. This avoids some 'out of tune' sounds during your performance.

P.S. : In theory it's possible to assign three Benders to one pedal, so blend the Benders.

Vetta 2.5 is not compatible with the current version of Line 6 Edit. In a few weeks a new, compatible version of Line 6 Edit will be available. If you attempt to use it now, you will encounter problems.

MIDI Freaks, Caution: The new user selectable footswitch assignments are known to cause minor issues with their associated MIDI CC parameters. If you re-map footswitches you may not be able to engage the mapped effects via MIDI CC's. A resolution is in development.
