Edit - A deep-dive into tone central is available at the press of the EDIT button.
While E
DIT is lit, the SELECT knob selects pages of everything that makes up a
Channel Memory. From here, you set all the effect parameters, select cabinets and
microphones, and assign a parameter to the E
FFECT TWEAK knob. To learn more
about deep editing, please see Chapter 4.
Tune/System - Press that puppy and — shazam! Instant digital chromatic
tuner. All Amp Model and effects processing are bypassed so you can hear those
questionably-tuned strings clearly, should you choose to do so.
Play a note on your guitar and POD
XT will show you what it is on that handy display;
all notes are displayed as flats, so you’ll see A instead of G . Play that string you’re
trying to tune again, spin its tuning key so it goes sharp and flat, and the little ball will
move to the right if it’s sharp and back down to the left when the note’s flat. The little
ball will sit right in the middle when you’ve got it just right. Give POD
XT’s TUNE/
S
YSTEM button a push and the tuner disappears just as swiftly as it came, taking you
right back to normal operation.
Tuner Bypass/Volume - Normally, the audio will be muted while you’re tuning, but
if you prefer to hear yourself tune, press the button labeled Mute, and turn E
FFECT
T
WEAK counter-clockwise to select Bypass.
Tuner Reference - Want a different reference than A=440Hz? When you’re in the
tuner mode, press the button labeled 440 Hz and turn the E
FFECT TWEAK knob on
POD
XT while watching the display. This control lets you set the reference frequency
anywhere from 430-450 Hz. This setting is stored so you don’t have to reset it every
time you turn on POD
XT if you decide you want to be different (or if that piano in
your rehearsal room has decided to be different).
Tap - PODXT allows you to control the time and speed of your effects by simply
tapping on this button. To use the T
AP control, just tap the button at the tempo you
want and the effects that are set to “lock” to that tempo will change to match what you
tapped. There’s also a Tempo parameter near the end of the E
DIT pages, so you’ll see
exactly what Tempo you’ve Tapped. This is especially useful if you are trying to nudge
your T
AP setting to just the right value. See Chapter 4 to learn how to set up effects
to follow the tempo that you’ve tapped.
