→Mono-Summing vs. Stereo
== Preferred Effects ==
These are my personal preferences for certain types of effects, with why I prefer them.
=== Chorus ===

* '''Analog Chorus''' - Good traditional chorus sound. Just be aware that it only affects one side of the stereo spectrum. If you are running mono, be sure to place a mono effect behind this to force the sound to sum to mono. Don't put this in one of the two channels in the path split, then pan that channel hard left/right in the mixer.
* '''Dimension''' - Great modulation tone. Despite lacking configurability, it seems to give me the tone I want from a Mod unit. Also it takes up very little DSP.
=== Flanger ===

* '''AC Flanger''' - Honestly, this is the only flanger I use. It needs to be specifically dialed in to sound right (See Below).
* '''80A Flanger''' - Good but not great. Easiest to dial in and instantly get that flanger sound, but a bit dark and really messes with your tone.

* '''Tube Comp''' - This is the only compressor I like. It is very transparent to the tone, but offers a nice compression. It can squash a clean tone or thicken up a distorted tone. The other compressors tend to kill your pick attack, or do something funky to the tone.
=== Reverb ===

* '''Spring Reverb''' (Either one) - Most lush-sounding reverb in the Pod, but a high DSP price.
* '''Hall Reverb''' - This is my go-to. Great tone and natural decay. It's also mono wet, stereo dry, so you get stereo bleed via the effect, which I find sounds nice, but may be a dealbreaker if you're running dual outputs.

* '''Digital Delay''' - I like my delay to sound simply like delay. Here it is in full transparency. However, to make it sound more like a real echo, turn the treble down a hair.
* '''Digital Delay w/ Mod''' - If I can't fit a Mod effect due to DSP constraints or I want a very subtle mod in the tone, I like this effect.
=== Pre-EQ ===
For more on Pre-EQ'ing, see the [[Line 6 Pod HD Amp/Distortion Tone|Amp/Distortion Tone page]].
* '''Q Filter''' - I set this as a band-pass with low Q, medium low Mix, and center the frequency around 56%. Somehow it works better than a Parametric EQ. It's eery how well this works to boost an amp.
== Dialing in the Flangers ==
The flangers suck! Or do they?!!? I've tried to dial them in for a while and found a couple paradigms I liked, but only recently truly figured them out.
== Substitutes ==
Instead of a reverb, you can use ''multiple delays'' - I typically set one short and one longer. They mask the obviousness of each other and get you an ambient sound, but it's different from reverb. It may also consume less DSP.
== Ordering ==
