Welcome to the Pocket POD Express Advanced Guide, a supplement to the Pilot’s Handbook. In the following pages we’ll take a closer look at your POD’s features and functionality.

The Pocket POD Express is simple to operate, so this guide will be brief. In this chapter,

1•1

we’ll include tips on using the Tuner, details on the Amp Models, Effects, Inputs and

 

Outputs, and a few words about your power options. Let’s start with the Tuner.

 

Tuner

To enter Tuner mode, press and hold TAP for a few seconds, then tune up as follows:

Tune your low E string; both LEDs will flash rapidly at the same time when the E is in tune. If only the flat [b] LED flashes, tune your E string up a bit; if only the sharp [#] LED flashes, tune it down a bit. When both LEDs flash together, you’re good.

With your low E string in tune, tune the other 5 strings by ear, using the ‘5th fret method’. For example, fret your low E string at the 5th fret, then tune your open A string to that note. Now fret your A string at the 5th fret, and tune your open D string to that note. Tune your other strings in pairs the same way, with the exception of the open B string, which should tune to your G string fretted at the 4th fret, instead of the 5th.

When the other 5 strings are in good tune with the low E, fine-tune each string by observing the red LEDs. If only the flat LED lights up, tune up a bit. If only the sharp LED lights up, tune down. They’ll both light up solid when you’re in tune.

With all 6 strings in tune, exit Tuner mode by briefly pressing the TAP button.
