2001 Treadplate Dual
The 2001 Treadplate Dual Amp Model is based on* a 2001 3 Channel
Mesa/Boogie® Dual Rectifier
®
Solo Head. 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.
We used Channel 3 on the Modern setting for this one with the rear
switches set to Bold and Tube Rectifier
®
, respectively.

Tube Preamp
Before we created the dedicated Preamp Models featured in POD Farm, we developed this simple tube
preamp model for the Amp Model slot of our PODxt
®
and GuitarPort
®
. This model was created to give
PODxt and GuitarPort users a solution for plugging the output from an acoustic guitar’s piezo pickup or
a bass into GuitarPort or PODxt hardware. It can also deliver some tasty tones with a Line 6 Variax
®
guitar or bass, or standard electric guitar. With the tone controls at 12 o’clock, the EQ is “flat.”
Adventurous recordists will find that it can even be used to add some tube warmth or distorted grind
to just about anything — warming up keyboards, crunching up drums, and fuzzing up vocals the way
producers and engineers often do in the studio with vintage tube gear. When you do this stuff, you
want to use the Drive control like a mix knob on a reverb to control how much processing you want
to hear.

1958 Tweed B-Man
The 1959 Tweed B-Man Model is based on* the classic ‘58 Fender
®
Bassman
®
4x10 combo, the amp
that started it all — instant rock and roll tone. Originally a bass guitar amp, the Bassman
®
became a
Blues staple for 6-string guitarists. It has the fat bottom end you’d expect from a bass amp, but also has
the Fender
®
twang on the top. Incidentally, when Jim Marshall built his first amps with Ken Bran they
were heavily influenced by the early Bassman
®
.
