Putting Your Feet to Work • Saving and Naming with the FBV Shortboard
8• 3
External Pedal Jack: You can connect an expression pedal (such as the
Line 6 EX-1) to the Shortboard’s rear panel 1/4-inch jack. The connected pedal
can be set to control V
OLUME or EFFECT TWEAK. See Chapter 4, Creating &
Storing Sounds for more details on setting up the expression pedal.
Note: Any FBV switches not being used by your POD
XT will send MIDI messages via
POD
XT’s MIDI Output and can be used to control other devices. See Appendix C for
details.
Saving and Naming with the FBV Shortboard
To prepare for saving, it’s a good idea to browse through the various factory-stored
preset sounds to decide which you can do without. Make a note of their Bank number
and Channel letter so you can save your own sounds there instead.
1. Save - Step on the FX L
OOP (COMP) switch until NAME EDIT is displayed.
2. Name - The Shortboard’s S
TOMP and MODULATION switches (labeled
Cursor in small text) select one of the characters of the channel name so you
can change it. The D
ELAY and REVERB switches (labeled Character in small
text) choose from the available letters, numbers and symbols. Once you’ve got a
name you’re happy with, go ahead to step 3.
3. Pick a Bank - The B
ANK UP and BANK DOWN switches pick a Bank you’d
like to save to.
4. Finish - Press the A, B, C or D switch to store to that Channel Memory in the
chosen Bank. The display will show
“SAVING”.
Cancel - You can cancel the save process at any time by pressing T
AP.
Congratulations, you’re all done!
Note: FBV owners, saving works the same way for you except that the R
EVERB and
P
ITCH/TREMOLO switches are used for cursor control, and the MOD and
D
ELAY switches change the character.
