What is A.I.R.?
A.I.R. is the Line 6 exclusive Acoustically Integrated Recording technology that accurately simulates
the sound of a microphone and recording space. Click on the A.I.R. icon when the effects panel is
shown, and you will be able to adjust A.I.R. for the current Tone. Point your mouse at items in the
effect panel and look at the Info Bar for more information on those items. Settings made to A.I.R. are
saved and loaded with Tones.
Note that the order of the “stomp box” icons in the row show you the signal flow order of the Effects,
starting from the Gate effect, and flowing to the right through the effect icons. Effects to the left of the
A.I.R. icon are running “Pre” (before the amp, cab and mic models) and effects shown to the right of
the A.I.R. icon are running “Post” (after the amp, cab and mic models).
Note - PODxt & POD X3 family devices will display an “Amp” icon and On/Off switch here in place
of the A.I.R. icon. Please the next topic...
