and that you should save it if you want the memory to remember the tweak. To save

your changes, press the Save button . The button will start to ﬂash. Press the

Up and Down buttons and you will see that you are switching through

memory locations A, B, C, and D in each of POD’s nine numbered banks. Pick

one to store your sound in, and press that Save button a second time. The button’s

light will stop ﬂashing, and the sound is stored at the location you chose, replacing

the sound that was stored there before. Doesn’t get much simpler than that. After

the sound is stored, you can bring it back any old time by simply pressing the Up

and Down buttons to call up the location where you stored it. (See Chapter 7 to

learn how to do all this with your feet on the Floor Board).

If you aren’t using one of the pre-programmed POD sounds – 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 Save, use the Up and Down

buttons to choose a place to save to, and press Save again.

You may want to audition the memorized POD “preset” sounds before you start

saving anything. Note the ones you can live without as locations you can save over.

If you decide you don’t want to store the sound after you’ve started saving, press

the Ta p , Manual, Tuner, Noise Gate, or MIDI button to cancel the save. (The

save will also be canceled if you don’t press any buttons for 5 seconds after having

pressed Save.)

The Save button also lets you customize any of the Amp Models and Effects to

your own taste, so your customized version of the amp or effect comes up instantly

when you turn Amp Models or Effects. See Chapter 6 for the details on that.

MIDI - This button is used to set POD’s MIDI channel and dump sounds

via MIDI. Details are in the Deep Editing & MIDI Control chapter.
