[. . . ] Boogie made their mark in the late 70's and early 80's by adding master volumes and more gain stages to amps with Fender-style circuitry. You can hear the Fender heritage but with more "punch" in the mids. The Boogie Dual Rectifier's tone controls are post-distortion and, as MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED? with the tone sections of most of the amps we based our models on, the individual controls interact with each other and with the Drive. With high drive settings, you can scoop the mids and crank the bottom end for some great Seattle grunge sounds. Modern Hi Gain - The Soldano sound is intensely overdriven, and also has EQ after the preamp distortion. This oversaturated tone is well-suited to thrash metal and grunge bands, but has also been used more subtly by artists like Eric Clapton. This is a good Amp Model to use if you want to get a current Van Halen or Joe Satriani sound. The POD Modern Hi Gain Amp Model is based on one of Mike Soldano's rackmount preamps. Talk about high gain preamp tube distortion!The X88R we studied to create this Amp Model would have been the rage for Los Angeles studio use in the late `80s. 5·6 Fuzz Box - Although not technically an amp, we felt that the unique tonal qualities of the classic 1960's Arbiter Fuzz Face earned it a place among the amps modeled to create POD's Amp Models. This fuzz box used broad frequency transistor-based clipping. The result is a buzzing kind of distortion that has become popular again with the alternative and grunge set. Jimi Hendrix was among the first guitarists to popularize the Fuzz Face in the States, but our model is considerably dirtier than the tones found on "Are You Experienced. " Try playing "Satisfaction" by the Stones, or the lead from "American Woman" by The Guess Who. Liberal use of the Bass, Middle, and Treble controls will let you go beyond the tones that the Fuzz Face could deliver, enabling you to discover your own unique recipe for those elusive fuzz tones in your head. Just a note: when recording Purple Haze, Jimi didn't even use an amp ­ he just went straight from a Fuzz Face to an Orange power amp to a 4x12 cabinet. Which is the same sort of tone you find here. . . . Tube Preamp - Not even close to being a guitar amp, but once we got started, we just couldn't stop ourselves. The thinking went like this: `Once people get this POD, it's gonna be so great that they're gonna wish they could use it for MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED? everything ­ warming up keyboards, crunching up drums, fuzzing up vocals. We've gotta give 'em something to do that!' So we did. The Tube Preamp Amp Model lets you warm up any sound source the way producers and engineers often do in the studio with vintage tube gear. For more "edge" on vocals, try running your vocal tracks through POD. Or punch up (or munch up) a synth bass track by sending it through POD and cranking up the drive and EQ controls to suit your taste. Although this is not actually a guitar amp model, you can even get some great guitar tones out of it. Also try using it as a direct box for bass.
