Bypass & Controller
Assignment
Just as on your POD Go device, the POD Go Edit application oers several ways to
create and edit bypass and controller assignments to the footswitches and expression
pedals on your device. As covered in the previous chapters, bypass, snapshot, and
controller assignments can be quickly created and edited directly within the Signal
Flow and Inspector - Edit panel. Within the Edit panel, the Bypass/Control window
oers additional options for deeper work in creating and editing assignments. We’ve
included several step-by-step instructions within this chapter for assignments.
The Bypass/Control Window
When the Edit panel is displayed, you can show or hide the Bypass/Controller panel,
by clicking on the toggle button.* When the Bypass/Control window is shown, it
provides options for the block that is currently selected within the Signal Flow. For
example, in the screenshot below, the Eects block containing the Optical Trem
model is selected, and the panel shows its existing bypass assignment is set to FS6.
The panel’s Parameter menu provides access to all the Optical Trem model’s
parameters for creating and editing controller assignments.

*NOTE: The Bypass/Control window is a sub-window of the Inspector’s Edit panel.
Therefore, the Show and Hide menu commands and shortcut are available only
when the Edit panel is displayed, and the window remains displayed until you choose to
hide it (even when toggling the Inspector display). Also, keyboard shortcuts continue to
function within the Edit panel when the Edit panel has focus—please see “Keyboard
Shortcuts”.
Practically any model’s parameters can be manually assigned to your device’s
footswitch & expression pedal controllers, for real-time, remote control. It is also
possible here to assign model parameters to be stored and recalled with snapshots.
• Bypass/Control toggle button: When the Edit panel is displayed, click
to show or hide the Bypass/Control window, or use the Window > Show/
Hide Bypass/Control menu command. The X Close button at the top right
can also be used to hide the panel. It’s typically a good practice to close the
window once done adjusting your assignment options.
• Parameter menu: Lists all parameters for the currently selected Signal
Flow block. Choose the parameter here for which you want to assign to a
footswitch, EXP pedal, or to snapshots.
• Controller selectors: Once the desired parameter is selected within the
Parameter menu, click on the preferred FS1~FS8, EXP Toe footswitch or
EXP 1 or EXP 2 pedal to which you want it assigned. Click on the Snapshots
button to allow the parameter’s value to be recalled per snapshot.* Click the
None button to clear an existing assignment. Each FS or EXP controller can
hold a maximum of eight assignments (total bypass and/or controller types).
• * The Snapshots controller selector appears within the panel when
any parameter other than Bypass is selected within the Parameter
menu—see “Creating a Snapshots Controller Assignment” on page 30.
(Note that block bypass is automatically recalled via snapshots, so no need
for you to create a snapshot assignment—see page 13).
• The FS1~FS6 controller selectors display a colored ring, just like
footswitches on your device, to indicate the model category type in use for
the existing assignment.
• The label above a controller selector changes to italicized text to indicate
it includes one or more existing assignments. Also, when hovering your
mouse cursor over a controller selector that includes assignments, a button
appears to launch its “Assignments List Window” on page 29.
• The Mode and Tap footswitches are not available for assignments.
NOTE: You can create assignments on FS7, FS8, or EXP 2, however, you will need
to have the respective external footswitches or expression pedal connected to POD
Go, and correctly congure their Device Settings (see page 32), to utilize them.
You’ll notice that all Factory Presets already include several bypass and controller
assignments. Additionally, all New Presets already include the following assignments:
• Volume and Wah blocks are assigned to the EXP Toe switch for bypass,
which toggles between enabling these two blocks
• Additionally, EXP 1 & EXP 2 pedal controller assignments are automatically
congured for Wah,Volume/Pan, and Pitch Wham block’s parameters
• The Preset EQ and FX Loop blocks are assigned to FS1 and FS2, respectively,
for bypass
