for backup and editing, and to send programs from your computer to POD. You
can also have your POD exchange sounds with anotherPOD Pro, an original
POD, or a Flextone II series amplifier via Sysex directly, by hooking one to the
other with a MIDI cable. The following sections tell you how all this works.

T
ONETRANSFER VIA MIDI
If you just want to transfer sounds directly from your POD Pro to another POD
Pro, or between a your POD Pro and a Flextone II or POD, follow the directions
below. You’ll need a standard MIDI cable to do the deed. Connect the MIDI OUT
of the transmitting device (POD, POD Pro, or Flextone II) to the MIDI IN of the
receiving device.
Transferring All Sounds - To overwrite all sounds in the receiving device with
the sounds in the transmitting device:
POD or POD Pro is transmitting: make sure that the MIDI button is lit
up, and press the Save button. The transmitting POD’s single digit display
will say “A” which means send All sounds via MIDI, and the Save button will
flash as if to say, “press me again to start sending.” If you do press Save a
second time, the entire memory of the transmitting POD will be dumped into
the brain of the receiving unit, making one a virtual clone of the other.
Pressing any other button on the transmitting POD will abort the transfer,
saving the receiving POD/Flextone II/POD Pro from the big brainwash.
Flextone II is transmitting: (These instructions are also printed on the back of
the Flextone II near the MIDI jacks.) Hold the Save button and then press the
Manual button. The Channel A, B, C, D lights will flash on the Flextone II.
Press and release D button, then press Save. The entire memory of the
transmitting Flextone II will be dumped into the brain of the receiving POD,
