Stompbox-style Control
The PODXT lets you turn four PODXT effects on or off just as you would any other
stompbox in your arsenal. The buttons above the POD
XT display are the key:
Comp (Gate)—This button turns our model based on the studio-standard LA-2A
compressor on or off. Double press for the E
DIT page that’s got the settings for the
compressor settings along with the full-time N
OISE GATE, which can be tweaked
and turned on or off from the E
DIT page.
Stomp—This is where the distortion boxes, some stomp box compressors and Auto
Wah and Auto Swell live. Like all the other effect buttons, press to turn on or off,
double-press to E
DIT.
Mod—POD
XT comes with several flavors of modulation effects. Use this button to
turn the loaded one on or off, double-press to E
DIT.
Delay—The delay models are found here. Press on, press off, double press to E
DIT.
Editing Basics
In this section we’ll take a trip into tweak. A Deep Dive into the way your PODXT
works, and how to make it best work for you. POD
XT’s knobs, buttons and display give
you direct access to absolutely every detail. No need to connect to a computer for
detailed editing as is required for the original POD.
To begin your editing adventure, all you have to do is press the E
DIT button to light it
up. Now turn the S
ELECT knob. Well lookey here, everything you’d ever want to tweak
on your POD
XT is right there in front of you. To change something shown on the
display, simply press the S
OFT BUTTON directly below it and spin EFFECT TWEAK.
Everything you tweak here, by the way, is remembered when you press S
AVE and
choose a Channel Memory to save to.
