FX Loop: This will turn POD
XT Pro’s loop on/off. Although the other FBV
switches act when you first step on them, this one doesn’t switch the loop until you
lift your foot off of it. POD
XT users, the COMP sticker that came with your
Shortboard magically relabels this switch to operate POD
XT’s COMP On/Off.
Stomp: (Stomp Box 1 on FBV) Use this switch to turn your S
TOMP effect on
and off. The light above the switch will be lit when this effect is on.
Stomp Box 2: (not on Shortboard) Switches PODXT’s Comp on and off.
Stomp Box 3: (not on Shortboard) Switches POD
XT’s Gate on and off.
Reverb: Switches PODXT’s reverb on and off.
Modulation: Use this switch to turn your M
OD effect on and off. The light
above the switch will be lit when this effect is on.
Delay: Use this switch to turn your D
ELAY on and off. The light above the
switch will be lit when this effect is on.
Tap Tempo: Tap twice on the TAP TEMPO switch to set the Tempo on
POD
XT. The light above the TAP TEMPO switch flashes to show you the current
tempo in BPM (beats per minute). Hold the T
AP TEMPO switch down for two
seconds to activate POD
XT’s tuner. The Shortboard display shows the note you’re
playing and lets you know whether you’re sharp or flat.
Wah and Volume Lights: One of these lights will come on when the
Shortboard’s built-in pedal is ready to control W
AH or VOLUME. If an expression
pedal is connected and set to control V
OLUME, the VOLUME light will not come
on.
Wah / Volume Pedal: Press this pedal fully forward to click the toe-switch,
switching the pedal to control W
AH or VOLUME. If an expression pedal is
connected to the Shortboard’s rear panel 1/4-inch jack and is set to control
V
OLUME, the Shortboard pedal controls WAH only, with the toe switch toggling
the W
AH on/off. If the expression pedal is set to provide remote control over the
E
FFECT TWEAK parameter, the WAH / VOLUME pedal will continue to switch
between W
AH and VOLUME. See Chapter 4, Creating & Storing Sounds for
more details.
