CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS

2 • 7

Noise Gate - Turns on and off the POD’s built in Noise Gate. More

Noise Gate details in the POD Effects chapter.

Tap - This control sets and displays the current tempo or speed of delay or

tremolo/chorus/ﬂange/rotary speaker. To use the Tap control, just tap the button at

the tempo you want. For Chorus and Flange effects, the speed is actually displayed

by the blinking of the button and set at twice the speed of the effect so you don’t have

to count to 23 between taps if you want to set up a really slow chorus. And for

Tremolo the tapped tempo is displayed and set at half the speed of the Tremolo

effect, so you can get fast tremolo settings even if you can’t tap as fast as Bruce Lee.

You can also simply hold the Ta p button and turn the Effect Tweak knob to

change the speed or tempo of your effects. This is especially useful if you are trying

to nudge your Ta p setting to just the right value. See the Effects chapter, the back

cover foldout, and Appendix B for Effect Parameters to learn exactly what Ta p

controls for each of the Effect settings.

Tap (HOLD) Functions - The Tap button also lets you access a

second layer of POD features: Amp Models 17-32, Cab Model selection, Delay

Feedback, Delay Level, Reverb Decay Time, a Presence Boost, a Volume Boost, and

a Drive Boost. Here’s the detail:

Amp Models 17-32: Hold down, and keep holding down, the Ta p button as

you turn the Amp Models knob to select Amp Models 17-32. Appendix A lists

these Amp Models and details about them. Chapter 4 describes them.

Cab Model Select (Effects Knob): Hold down, and keep holding down, the

Ta p button as you turn the Effects knob to select Cab Models. The cab models

are labeled in gray. You’ll ﬁnd a list of the Cab Models at the end of Chapter 4.

Drive Boost On/Off (Drive Knob): Hold down, and keep holding down, the

Ta p button as you turn the Drive knob up past twelve o’clock, and you get the

kind of extra ‘dirt’ that you’d expect from a Distortion pedal with the distortion
