The way the POD uses the word modelling is the same way as the synths -
modelling the *behaviour* of the analog circuitry (as opposed to modelling
the circuitry itself).

The mic modeller abuses the term, because what it's really doing is
determining a static impulse response of a mic (already a simplifying
assumption) and the convolving some arbitrary input with the impulse
response (in other words 'running the input through' the impulse response).
