POD Farm 1.01 – Glossary (What Is...?)
9•24
What is Wah?
Wah is one of POD Farm’s Effects, and there are two different Wah models to choose – the Vetta Wah,
and the Weeper (or even more Wahs if you own some of the optional Model Packs). These Wahs
are designed after classic wah pedals. Use the knob to “sweep” through the pedal range for a “parked
wah” sound (much like your favorite Michael Schenker solo). Or, the Wah effect can be controlled
via parameter automation in POD Farm Plug-In from your host software for those familiar “whacka,
whacka” wah pedal effects.
Many of the effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.

What is Windows
®
64 Bit?
Microsoft offers several “flavors” of the Windows operating system for PC’s, and the most common
ones for every-day computer folks these days are Windows
®
XP
®
and Windows
®
Vista
®
. These versions
of Windows are “32 bit” operating systems, designed for running most all popular PC hardware and
software, including all Line 6 USB hardware and software products. Recently Microsoft also released
more powerful 64 bit versions, named Windows
®
XP
®
and Vista
®
“x64”, for compatibility with 64
bit PC’s. 64 bit PC’s are essentially more powerful systems and are likely to be the future platform
for computing. One big advantage of 64 bit Windows PC systems is that they can utilize more RAM
(32 bit Windows PC’s can utilize only up to 3.2 GB of RAM), making them better for running more
applications simultaneously, and with better performance.
The good news is that all Line 6 POD Studio, TonePort, GuitarPort. PODxt and POD X3 devices, as
well as POD Farm and the POD Farm Plug-In software are compatible with Windows 64 bit systems!
All you need to do is install Line 6 POD Farm 1.0 on your Windows
®
64 bit system and you are ready
to rock. The selection of other 64 bit compatible hardware and software in the marketplace, however,
is still rather limited. So before you run out and buy that new 64 bit PC it is a good idea to look to
the vendors of the other software and hardware you might want to use to be sure their products are
compatible. Check out Microsoft’s web site for the latest developments on Windows 64 bit operating
systems.
