Page 7, Setup: Variax Options
Setup Page 7 - No Variax connected
Setup Page 7 - James Tyler Variax connected
As illustrated above, Setup page 7 will display additional, model-specific options when a
Variax instrument is connected to the POD HD500
VARIAX
(VDI) input. The specific
Variax family and its firmware version are displayed at the top right of the screen when
the Variax is connected. Available options and behaviors displayed will differ depending
on the Variax type and model you have connected, as described in the following sections.
With any Variax connected to the VDI input, the Knob 1 option functionality is as follows.
•
Variax Control (Knob 1):
Choose whether you want to assign all your Variax settings
on this Setup pg 7 screen on a per Preset basis or Globally.*
• When set to “Preset,” all the parameter settings shown on the Variax Setup screens
(Setup pages 7 & 8) are saved and recalled individually per POD HD500 preset.
You’ll see additional options in the screen when you have a Variax connected and
choose “Preset.”
• When set to “Global,” this provides complete manual control over all Variax
functions, regardless what Variax settings you may have saved within the POD
HD500 presets.
*Note: For a James Tyler Variax (JTV) this will also determine whether the guitar’s Mag/
Model switch selection (as heard through the “Variax” Input Source option) will be recalled
per Preset or Globally.
Also note that the Setup Pg 8 - JTV Tuning Options are
not
affected by this Variax Control
setting - the Tuning settings are saved per Preset.
