knobs. This way, when you turn the 

Amp Models

 knob to the Rectifier position, 

you’ll get your personal Rectifier, with all the controls in the list above set for your 
very own version of the Rectifier. Same thing for the 

Effects

 – your Chorus, 

Tremolo, etc. is always just one knob click away.

So where is stuff going to be saved, exactly? If you’re customizing the Amp Model, 
then you’ll be saving to the knob position of the selected Amp Model. For 
instance, if your sound uses the Rectifier, and you do the Customized Save of the 
Amp settings, you will now get those settings whenever you turn the knob to the 
Rectifier position. Alternatively, if your sound uses the Small Tweed, then doing 
the Customized Save will save your settings there. Your POD will choose the 
correct place to store the information regardless of the present physical position of the 
Amp Models encoder – so don’t worry, you can’t accidentally copy your Modern 
HiGain settings to the Small Tweed position. Same deal goes for the effects; your 
POD knows whether you’re using Tremolo or Rotary Speaker or whatever, and will 
save to that knob position. 

So what if you’re not sure which Amp Model or effect you are using right now, and 
want to find out before you make your Customization? That’s easy, too:

Just press (and keep holding) the 

Save

 button and turn the 

Amp Models

 or 

Effects

 knob. Once you have them in the right position, both the arrows for the 

tuning indicator will light up. The 

Tap

 light will also light solid if your Amp 

Model is part of the second “layer” of models (17-32).

So, now that you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into, lets get to it:
