Paul S Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Might be dense here but I have recently acquired on here a secondhand Bass Pod - one of the grey kidney shaped thingies - and, after an initial glance at the instructions and quick play around, can't seem to find a way of combining effects together to save in one patch. For the sake of discussion, say I wanted to set the amp model to Rock Classic then, using the effects dial, have a spot of octaver, phase and overdrive combined and saved to a patch. At the moment it looks like I can have one or another from the effects dial but not all - is this right? Thanks in advance! Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Does this not do the trick. Paul? 1. Get an amp or effect you love happening on your POD. 2. Hold Save, and press Manual. Save, Manual, A, and B lights flash. 3. Use Up/Down arrows to select A (Amps) or B (Effects). 4. Press Save to complete the deed. It's from section 6.4 onwards[url="http://line6.com/data/6/0a060b316ac34f0593e5054cc/application/pdf/Bass%20POD%20User%20Manual%20-%20English%20.pdf"] in the manual[/url]...I'm sure what you are trying to achieve is do-able Andy Quote
Paul S Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 I don't think that it does, Andy. I just tried. Dialled in an amp setting I like and dialled in effects to add a bit of phase. Nice. Pressed buttons in order as above, finished by save. Try then to edit that patch to add octaver and it loses the phase. Unless I am doing something fundamentally wrong I can't see how you can combine two or more effects into a patch, as opposed to just having them one at a time. Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Ah - misunderstood... I think you might be right. There are some effects which are already multi-effects but I think you are right, you can only use one of the various selections on the knob at a time. It's like the modelling amps - my Vox Valvetronix is the same. It's a twist knob for the effects like the pod with choices of various single or pre-set multi effects but you can only use one choice at any one time What you're after, if I've understood correctly, is an effects chain. I think these only started coming in with the newer generations of pedals Andy Quote
Paul S Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 Yup, an effects chain. a bit of phase, a bit of overdrive, a bit of octaver (for example) - all at the same time. Looks like this is going straight into the classifieds! That will teach me to do my homework before buying stuff Quote
