CREATING & STORING SOUNDS: EDIT MODE
6 • 3
EDIT MODE
Alright, so let’s say you’ve got that sound you saved in one of POD’s handy
channels, and you want to add some more Bass. No problem. If you haven’t
already selected the memory you want, then go ahead and get on those Up and
Down buttons to recall the sound. Now, grab the Bass knob and crank it up. The
word “EDITED” lights up to the left of POD’s single-digit display, letting you know
that you’ve made a change to your stored channel memory, and (if you like it
better that way) you should use the Save button to save it. This is what’s called
Edit Mode since you’ve done just that: edited a stored channel. To commit your
edit to POD’s memory, press Save and it will start to flash. Press it a second time,
and the sound will be stored into the currently selected memory. If you want to
choose a different memory location for the save, then use the Up and Down
buttons once you’ve got Save flashing and pick the memory you want.
If you don’t want to save your edit, that’s OK, too – just ignore the Save button. If
you decide not to save after pressing Save, you can touch the Tap Tempo,
Manual, Tuner, Noise Gate, or MIDI button to abandon saving. Keep in mind
that if you switch to another channel without saving your edit, all your sound
changes made during that edit will be forgotten.
THE PRESET RESET BUTTON
If, for any reason, or just for the sheer mad joy of it, you decide you need to reset
your POD channels to their factory-programmed states, hold down the Up and
Down buttons as you turn on the power. That’ll blow your POD’s memory and
reset it just like it was when it left the Line 6 factory.
Warning: This will erase ALL the custom sounds you might have created. So be sure
and ask yourself “Do I really want to do this?” If the answer is yes, go on ahead
with your bad self.
