THAT’S USING YOUR FEET: USING THE FLOOR BOARD WITH POD
7 • 2
TWO MODES
The first thing to know is that the Floor Board has two Modes of operation:
Channel Select Mode, and Effect On/Off Mode. The Mode Select switch
chooses which mode you’re in.
Mine Looks Funny: Your Floor Board may look a little different than the one illustrated
on the POD manual’s fold out back cover. Older Floor Boards have the label Select
Sound instead of Channel Select. We decided to change the name to Channel Select for
this mode, since that’s, in fact, what you do with it. We changed Sound A, B, C, D to
Channel A, B, C, and D, too. However the Floor Board’s decorated, it works the same.
1. CHANNEL SELECT MODE
Let’s start with Channel Select Mode. Note the line that traces from the Mode
Select switch and points to the two LED arrows below. The top LED lights if
you’ve selected Effect On/Off, and the bottom LED lights if you’ve chosen
Channel Select mode. Give that Mode Select switch a kick if necessary, and
get that lower LED (Channel Select) lit.
Banks
The two left-most stomp switches on the bottom row ( on your handy back
cover foldout Floor Board diagram) are labeled Bank Down and Bank Up. A
Bank is a section of POD memory that holds four channel settings. The POD has
nine memory banks total. These memory locations come pre-loaded with some
tasty little tones created at Line 6, but you can change them into whatever you
want, and store those changes back into and of the memory locations. You know
which Bank you’ve got because the Floor Board’s display will show you the
same thing as your POD.
The Floor Board notes that you can press the Bank Up & Down buttons at the same
time to switch between Preset and User Banks. This only applies to our guitar amplifier
products, not to POD.
