Likewise, if you set pedal 2 modes to “2-TWK” for both Tone 1 & 2, then the assigned Tweak parameters

are simultaneously controlled for both Tones by pedal 2. It is also possible to actually set the TWK

assignment independently, so that the speciﬁc parameter controlled by pedal 2 is independent for each

Tone. For example, Tone 1 can be set to Tweak the Reverb Mix while Tone 2 Tweaks the Delay Mix,

resulting in the pedal adjusting both these parameters simultaneously!

*Note: It is possible to save a Dual Tone preset where the Wah effect block state is “on” in one Tone and

“off” in the other. If the PEDAL CNTRL System setting is set to BOTH TONES, and the PEDAL is

assigned to “1-W/V” for both Tone 1 & 2, the behavior for the pedal still remains “linked”, therefore,

clicking the pedal’s toe switch toggles each Tone’s Wah effect to the opposite on/off state. You have the

option of setting the Wah block’s on/off state using your POD onboard controls, and then saving the settings

to the preset.

Likewise, the PEDAL “1-W/V” mode speciﬁcally dictates that the pedal toe switch toggles between

controlling the Wah and Volume effects. Therefore, if both PEDAL TONE1 & PEDAL TONE2 are set to

“1-W/V”, it is possible to manually set these two effects’ on/off states oppositely per Tone, resulting in toe

switch toggling them both oppositely at the same time. The moral of the story here is that you can choose

exactly how to conﬁgure each Tone and Save your User preset to achieve the behavior you want!

As you can see from the above examples, you can get some really weird effects by conﬁguring your

pedal(s) independently for Tone 1 and Tone 2 (and weird can be good!). The best practice is to create

several different User presets and save the pedal conﬁgurations exactly how you want for each. This

allows you to call up not only different sounds and effect combinations, but different methods of

control over effects at the same time.

Setting the Volume Pedal’s Min & Max Volume

The POD X3 Volume effect can of course be controlled by the pedal(s) of your FBV MkII, and your

POD X3 provides a few options for the Volume effect. To get to these settings, go to the POD X3 Home

page, select the VOL effect block and double-click the ON/OFF button to enter the VOL edit screen:

The POD X3 Volume page

• MIN – Determines how much volume you’ll hear when the volume pedal is at its minimum

(heel down) setting. Set it to 0% to have silence in the heel down position.

• MAX – Determines how much volume you’ll hear when the volume pedal is at its maximum

(toe down) setting.

• CONFIG – Allows you to choose the position of the volume effect within the POD X3 signal

ﬂow: Pre (before the Amp+Cab), or Post (after the Amp+Cab).

Just like in the world of guitar effects stomp boxes and amps, the position of your Volume pedal in

relation to some effects will impact the sound. For example, lowering the volume before a distortion
