Effects/Cabs -

 This knob selects which effect or combination of effects 

you get (once again, all the details on effects are in the 

POD Effects

 chapter). 

New with Version 2.0 software, this knob also allows you to choose Cabinet 
Models, and mix ’n’ match them with the Amp Models. To choose a Cabinet 
Model, hold the 

TAP

 button and turn this knob; the available cabinets are labeled 

in gray around the knob. Choosing an Amp Model will automatically select an 
appropriate cabinet; you can customize this Amp/Cab pairing, as described in 

Chapter 6

.

  Tuner -

 Button in the middle of the POD. Press that puppy and – shazam! 

Instant digital chromatic tuner. All POD’s 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 will show you what it is on 
that handy single-character display; all notes are displayed as naturals or 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 two little red arrows below the 

Tuner

button will give you a light show. The idea is that the left pointing arrow will light 
if you’re sharp. The right pointing arrow will light if you’re flat. And both arrows 
will light at the same time when you’ve got it just right. Give any one of POD’s 
buttons a push and the tuner disappears just as swiftly as it came and you’re right 
back to normal POD operation.

Tuner Volume  - 

You can adjust the tuning volume of your POD by turning the 

Chan Vol

 knob while the tuner is active (this doesn’t affect the volume of your 

not-in-tuner-mode POD sound). Alternatively, if you have a Floor Board 
connected, the volume pedal will control the tuner volume, too.

Tuner Reference - 

Want a different reference than A=440Hz? When you’re in 

the tuner mode, turn the 

Middle

 knob on POD while watching the display. Hey, 

it changes! You can set the reference frequency anywhere from 436-445 Hz. This 
setting is stored so you don’t have to reset it every time you turn on POD if you 
decide you want to be different (or if that piano in your rehearsal room has 
decided to be different). Since there’s only one digit in the POD display, all we 
display is the last number, so if you set the tuner to reference 441 Hz, you’ll see “1”.
