System Setup

2•5

Note: The Guitar In-Z setting affects the 

GUITAR IN

 input only. Please see the Impedance 

Ratings table at the end of this section to reference the input impedance of each individual 
model.

•  The 

Auto

  option  dynamically  sets  the  input  impedance  to  match  the  input 

impedance of the very first Amp or FX model in your POD HD signal chain.

•  Or, you can manually select from a variety of impedance values  from low to high 

(22k, 32k, 70k, 90k, 136k, 230k, 1M, or 3.5M). A lower value will typically result 

in some high frequency attenuation, lower gain and overall “softer” feel. A higher 

value provides full frequency response, higher gain and overall “tighter” feel.

• 

Inputs Setup (Knob 4) 

-  Determines  whether  the  other  3  options  in  this  Inputs 

screen are applied per preset, or globally.

• 

Preset 

- Recalling a preset will load the

 Input 1 Source

, 

Input 2 Source

 and 

Guitar 

In-Z

 parameter settings as last saved with the individual preset.

• 

Global 

- Once the “Global” option is selected here, the other three Input options’ 

values on this Setup page (Input Sources 1 and 2, and Guitar In-Z) are utilized 

globally, regardless of their values that are saved with each individual preset. The 

Input values you choose on this Setup page are then retained independently for 

the 

Inputs Setup - Global

 option. When you  change the 

Inputs Setup

 back to 

“Preset,”  the  Input  options’  values  saved  with  each  individual  preset  are  once 

again utilized. 

Note: Saving a preset while this option is set to “Global” will write the current global 
Inputs and Guitar In-Z values to the individual, saved preset.
