Tuner Reference -
Want a different reference than A=440Hz? When you’re in
the tuner mode, turn the
Middle
knob on POD while watching the display. Hey,
it changes! You can set the reference frequency anywhere from 436-445 Hz. This
setting is stored so you don’t have to reset it every time you turn on POD if you
decide you want to be different (or if that piano in your rehearsal room has
decided to be different). Since there’s only one digit in the POD display, all we
display is the last number, so if you set the tuner to reference 441 Hz, you’ll see “1”.
Noise Gate -
Another button in the middle of POD
. Turns on and off the
POD’s built in Noise Gate. More Noise Gate details in the
POD Effects
chapter.
Tap -
And yet one more button in the middle of POD
. This control sets and
displays the current tempo or speed of your effects – delay, tremolo, chorus, flange,
or rotary speaker. To use the
Ta p
control, just tap the button at the tempo you
want. For Chorus and Flange effects, the speed is actually set – and displayed by the
blinking of the button – at
twice the speed of the effect
so you don’t have to count to
23 between taps if you want to set up a really... slow... chorus. And for Tremolo the
tapped tempo is displayed and set at half the speed of the Tremolo effect, so you can
get fast tremolo settings even if you can’t tap as fast as Bruce Lee. You can also
simply hold the
Ta p
button and turn the
Effect Tweak
knob to change the speed
or tempo of your effects. This is especially useful if you are trying to nudge your
Ta p
setting to just the right value. See the
Effects
chapter, the back cover foldout, and
Appendix B
to learn exactly what
Ta p
controls for each of the Effect settings.
Tap (HOLD) Functions -
The
Ta p
button also lets you access a
second layer of POD features: Amp Models 17-32, Cab Model selection, Delay
Feedback, Delay Level, Digital Out Gain, a Presence Boost, a Volume Boost, and a
Drive Boost.
You can get to these functions by holding down the
Ta p
button while tunring one
of POD Pro’s knobs; this is good when you just need to make a quick tweak and
