Tweaking POD POD's designers did a superb job of keeping things as simple as possible, so you should be able to get the sounds you want without cracking open the manual. A presence control is accessible by holding down the tap-tempo button and turning the treble knob past 12 o'clock. There is no global bypass switch. Programs are stored in nine banks of four sounds each. Editing programs is a breeze.
