Effect On/Off Settings Stored With Programmed 
Channels

OK, this part’s mostly for the people who fret about all the little details that make 
other people think, “Wow, you’re way too concerned about all the little details!” 
What happens if you turn some of these handy effects off and on and then you 
save your sound into one of your POD memories? The effect on/off status gets 
stored, too. Cool. Now, what happens when you decide to head over to your 
friends’ house to show them how cool your POD is, and you jump on your bike, 
and decide taking the Floor Board along is too much hassle, so you leave it behind, 
pump the pedals with your POD bouncing along in its attractive Line 6 carry bag, 
strut into your friends’ place trying not to look like you’re out of breath, plug in 
your POD, recall your FAVORITE sound from the handy channel select buttons, 
go to play that incredibly classic-sounding Ultimate Tremolo tone that you know 
is going to have your friends turning pale and quivery with envy, even if they do 
think you're too concerned about all the little details, and then it hits you – you 
turned the tremolo off from the Floor Board and stored the channel like that. Feel 
foolish, don’t you? Let that be a lesson – never leave your Floor Board behind. 
Especially when there are friends to impress. But we hate to see you suffer. So 
here’s how to save your bacon: just grab the 

Effect Tweak

 knob and give it a 

spin. Magically, your tremolo is back to make you a hero once again. That’s 
because a particular effect’s on/off status is overridden if you tweak that effect’s 
setting. So Tremolo/Chorus on/off comes on when you move the 

Effect Tweak

knob to change your Tremolo, Chorus, Flanger, or Rotary Speaker setting. Ditto if 
it’s Drive or Delay or Reverb. But only if the Floor Board’s not connected. See? A 
bunch of little details. Getting a headache, aren’t you? The important thing is, if 
you save channels with effects on or off and then you don’t have your Floor Board, 
no worries – we’ve made sure it doesn’t cause you problems. That’s it for the Floor 
Board section. Fun, wasn’t it?

By the way, if you don’t have your Floor Board handy, and want to set the EQ 
(Presence), Distortion, or Drive/Boost on/off functions, you can do it by holding 

Tap

 and turning the 

Treble

, 

Chan Vol

, and 

Drive

 knobs, respectively. The 

details are in Chapter 2’s discussion of the 

Tap

 control.
