advance. We provided you with a way to get those settings. Just press and keep 
holding the 

Save

 button on your friend’s POD and turn any one of the POD’s 

knobs (except the 

Output Level

 knob – that one’s not saved into programs). 

Don’t worry, holding down the 

Save

 button won’t cause your settings to be altered 

or cause Save Mode to be entered. Instead, you’ll notice one of the little arrows 
below the 

Tuner

 button will light up. The arrow tells you which way to turn the 

knob so that it will match the stored memory’s setting for that control. When the 
knob position exactly matches the stored setting, the arrows will both light up. 
(The 

Amp Model

 and 

Effects

 knobs don’t give you the left or right arrows on 

their own; they will only light the two arrows together when you have the knob in 
the right place.) After you’ve done this for every knob and noted the 

Tap

 speed, 

you can write down the settings on the Programmer’s sheet, take it home, enter it 
in your own POD, and write the anthem for a future (or past) generation. And be 
sure to thank us in the album’s liner notes. To check that you’ve got everything 
just right, once the knobs are set, you can also switch to Manual Mode and see if 
the sound changes. (It shouldn’t, unless the 

Tap

 speed is different.)

If that sounds too complicated, and you have a MIDI cable handy, flip ahead to 

Chapter 8: “Deep Editing & MIDI Control”

 to find out how to swap sounds 

between two PODs with MIDI. It’s also possible to swap POD sounds on computer, 
using the emagic SoundDiver software – for both Macintosh and Windows 
computers – that’s included on the CD with this manual.

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
