Digital Delay
This model is a straight up digital delay with Bass and Treble tone controls. Nothing fancy here, just
basic echo-cho-cho-cho. After all, it’s good to cleanse the palate every once in a while.

Modulation
Mod Effects are things that swoosh, pulse and warble — from phase shifters to flangers to choruses.
Why are they called Mod (Modulation) effects? Well, if we consult a dictionary, we discover that
‘modulate,’ in the electronic world means to “alter the amplitude or frequency of (a wave) by (using)
a wave of a lower frequency to carry a signal” (definition courtesy of The Oxford Encyclopedic English
Dictionary, Third Edition, thank you very much). That modulating wave is what causes all that
swooshing, pulsing, and warbling. The SPEED of the Mod effects controls how quickly (or slowly) the
modulating waveform sweeps, and generally allows Tap Tempo. DEPTH controls overall amplitude of
the modulating wave, which usually determines just how intense the effect will be. There’s always a
MIX control, and sometimes there are also other controls, as we’re about to describe....
Sine Chorus
Here’s your basic digital chorus, which gives you the classic swimmy/watery sound of chorus, plus
BASS and TREBLE controls for bass-ing and trebl-ing. :-)
Subtle settings of the chorus can also be used to give a fatter sound. Extreme settings can totally change
the character of your sound.

Line 6 Flanger
Flanger is most famously known as the “jet-plane” whoosh effect of several classic 70s recordings. It
can also be used to give a “swooshy” or “swept” sound to guitar and other sources, or just to create a
“bigger” sound. Eddie Van Halen, for instance, used flanger effects as an important part of his signature
sound on many classic Van Halen recordings, including “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” and much of the
Van Halen I album. . The Line 6 Flanger really shines when you set CONFIG to POST, letting the
stereo sweep offset serve up luscious harmonic shimmer.

Phaser
POD Farm’s Phaser is based on* the MXR
®
Phase 90 — the guitar stomp
box phaser that changed the world. The Phase 90 is relatively subtle
compared to other phasers, and when you use it, it becomes part of the
overall guitar tone rather than trying to grab the spotlight all to itself.
Its lush, organic, and groovy swirl can be heard all over the first two Van
Halen albums, as well as Jimmy Page’s work on Physical Graffiti. The
Phase 90 is a four stage phaser; its single knob controlled only speed. POD
Farm’s Phaser gives you additional flexibility with MIX and FEEDBACK
controls to adjust the intensity of the effect.
