See Chapter 4 to learn about Home Page functions for these knobs. Keypad – these buttons allow you to do the following:

Tone 2 / Hold for Dual – press to toggle between Tone 1 and Tone 2 (you’re editing Tone 2 when the button is lit). Press and hold to turn Dual Tone on or off. See Chapter 4 for more details, including info on using an FBV to control Dual Tone functions.

Amp, Stomp, Mod, Delay, Verb – press to turn the Amp, Stomp, Mod, Delay, and Reverb processing blocks on or off (the blocks are on when the buttons are lit). Double-press one of these buttons to tweak the block. For example, just press the Stomp button two times quickly and you’re instantly taken to the Stomp Box Edit Page. Press the Home button to leave the Edit Page and return to the Home Page. Chapter 5 gives you details on all the Edit Pages available.

Tap / Hold for Tuner – POD X3 Pro allows you to control the time and speed of your Delay and/or Mod effects by simply tapping on this button. Just tap it a few times and the effects that are set to “lock” to that tempo will change to match what you tapped. There’s also a Tempo parameter in the effects’ Edit Pages, so you’ll see exactly what Tempo you’ve tapped. This is especially useful if you are trying to nudge your Tap, setting to just the right value. See Chapter 5 to learn how to set up effects to follow the tempo you’ve tapped.

Press and hold the Tap button for 2 seconds to activate the tuner. You can also add footswitch tuner activation with an optional FBV foot controller.

10Drive – controls how hard you’re driving the input of the chosen Amp Model. Like the input volume control on a non-master volume guitar amp, higher settings give you more “dirt.”
