Save -
When you want to store your own tweaked up sounds in your POD,
this button is the key. Exactly how it works is detailed in
Chapter 7: Creating &
Storing Sounds
. But you’re probably impatient, so here are the basics:
When you are using one of the pre-programmed POD sounds, POD’s single-digit
number display will be lit, telling which bank you are in – 1 thru 9 – and one of the
channel letters – A thru D – will be lit also. If you turn one of POD’s knobs, you’ll
notice the word “EDITED” will be lit to the left of that single-digit display. This is a
reminder to you that you have tweaked the memorized channel, and that you
should
save
it if you want the memory to remember the tweak. To save your
changes, press the
Save
button . The button will start to flash. Press the
Up
and
Down
buttons and you will see that you are switching through memory
locations A, B, C, and D in each of POD’s nine numbered banks. Pick one to store
your sound in, and press that
Save
button a second time. The button’s light will
stop flashing, and the sound is stored at the location you chose, replacing the
sound that was stored there before. Doesn’t get much simpler than that. After the
sound is stored, you can bring it back any old time by simply pressing the
Up
and
Down
buttons to call up the location where you stored it. (See
Chapter 8
to
learn how to do all this with your feet on the Floor Board).
If you aren’t using one of the pre-programmed POD sounds – you’re in Manual
mode, and you’re just getting the sound of where the knobs are set – you can store
that state into a memory location the same way. Press
Save
, use the
Up and Down
buttons to choose a place to save to, and press Save again.
You may want to audition the memorized POD “preset” sounds before you start
saving anything. Note the ones you can live without as locations you can save over.
If you decide you don’t want to store the sound after you’ve started that Save
button a-flashin’, press the Tap , Manual, Tuner, Noise Gate, or MIDI button to
cancel the save. (The save will also be canceled if you don’t press any buttons for 5
seconds after having pressed Save.)
The Save button also lets you customize any of the Amp Models and Effects to
