CAB/A.I.R. - Press the CAB/A.I.R. button once to pick a Cab Model to pair
with your amplifier, select the microphone used on the cabinet and even set the
amount of “room” that the mic captures. Unlike the E
FFECT ON/OFF buttons, this
button is not an on/off type control. A single press of this button simply lets you change
cabs and mics quickly. When the Cabinets are off, this button’s light will be off as well.
Save - When you want to store your own tweaked-up sounds in your PODXT
this button is the key. Exactly how it works is detailed in Chapter 4, Creating &
Storing Sounds. But you’re probably impatient, so here are the basics:
When using a pre-programmed sound, POD
XT will display the bank number, channel
letter and channel name at the top of the display. If you turn one of the knobs or
change a parameter in the E
DIT mode pages, you’ll notice an asterisk appears to the left
of the bank number. This is a reminder to you that you have tweaked the memorized
channel, and that you should save it if you want your POD
XT to remember the tweak.
To save the changes you’ve made to a Channel Memory, press the S
AVE button. The
button will start to flash. Just press S
AVE again if you want to overwrite the currently
loaded Channel, using the same name. Or, if you’d like to change the name first, use
the middle two Soft Buttons to select a character, then press the right soft button and
turn the E
FFECT TWEAK knob to change the character. Press the soft button under
DEST, turn the EFFECT TWEAK knob, and you will see that you are switching
through memory locations A, B, C, and D in each of the sixteen numbered banks.
Pick one to store your sound in, and press that S
AVE button a second time. The
button’s light will stop flashing, a progress bar will shown on the display, and the
sound is stored at the location you chose, replacing the sound that was there before.
After the sound is stored, you can bring it back any old time by simply turning the
S
ELECT knob to call up the location where you stored it. (See Chapter 8 to learn
how to do all this with your feet on the optional foot controllers).
If you aren’t using one of the POD
XT Channel Memories — 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 S
AVE, then DEST, then use EFFECT
T
WEAK to choose a place to save to, and press SAVE again.
