responsive, and the drive channel has a thick, liquid, singing sustain that doesn’t 
lose string definition when driven hard. POD’s tone controls on this Amp Model 
are quite subtle, like those of the Dumble itself.

Rectified #2 

(Hold Tap + Rectified)

 -

 This Amp Model is modeled after a 

1995 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head. As with the Tremoverb combo that was 
modeled for the POD Rectified Amp Model, the Dual Rectifier was part of 
Boogie’s more modern, high gain approach for that “big hair” sound. In contrast to 
the earlier Boogies, the Dual Rectifier’s tone controls have more influence at high 
gain settings, so you can scoop the mids and increase the bottom end.

Modern Hi Gain #2 

(Hold Tap + Modern HiGain)

 -

 This sound is modeled 

after a Soldano SLO – Super Lead Overdrive – head. With snake skin tolex and 
everything! Unlike the X88R preamp used for the POD Modern Hi Gain Amp 
Model, the SLO includes a presence control, plus other little details that give it a 
bit of a different sound. With the 

Drive

 control cranked way up, you’ll get sustain 

for days.... Go out’n’ave a bite – when you come back it’ll still be sustaining!

Boutique #2 

(Hold Tap + Fuzz Box)

 -

 Based on the Dumble Overdrive 

Special Drive Channel (just described). If you like the Dumble sound, you might 
also want to check out the Line 6 Crunch model – it was created to deliver a 
similar kind of tone.

Jazz Clean 

(Hold Tap  + Tube  Preamp)

 -

 This Amp Model is modeled after the 

classic Roland JC-120. This transistor amp was known for a strident clean sound 
and built-in stereo chorus. When using the Jazz Clean Amp Model, try cranking 
up the 

Treble

 for a shimmering clean sound that’ll cut through just about any 

mix. It’s also perfect for that 80’s “new wave” sound. Alternatively, try backing off 
on the 

Treble

 and turn up the 

Bass

 and 

Middle

 for a darker jazz tone. It’ll give 

you an essentially flat response, providing a balanced tone across the fret board for 
jazz chord melodies or single-line phrasing.
