THAT’S USING YOUR FEET: FLOOR BOARD: THE FULL-FEATURED FOOT

Tap Tempo

Now, then, how about that handy Tap Tempo thing on your POD? Sure would be

nice to be able to change the speed of your effects without taking your hands off

your guitar, wouldn’t it? That’s what the Tap Tempo foot switch is for. The

light to the left of it (you’ve already probably been entranced by it as it pulses

away), ﬂashes just like the Tap Tempo button on your POD to let you know the

speed of your effect. To change this speed, all you’ve got to do is tap on this Tap

Tempo switch.

Tuner

Well, Tap Tempo/Tuner switch, really . Hold that puppy down for a second

or more and – shazam! Instant digital chromatic tuner. All POD’s Amp Model and

effects processing are bypassed so you can hear those questionably-tuned strings

clearly, should you choose to do so. If you’d rather appear more professional, don’t

worry; the volume pedal still works. Play a note on your guitar and the Floor Board

will show you what it is in that handy display . Play that string again, spin its

tuning key so it goes sharp and ﬂat, and the six LEDs above the bottom row of

Floor Board switches give you a light show. The idea is that the LEDs to the left

light if you’re ﬂat. The LEDs to the right light if you’re sharp. And the two LEDs

in the center will light at the same time when you’ve got it just right. Give any one

of the Floor Board’s switches a stomp and the tuner disappears just as swiftly as it

came and you’re right back to Channel Select Mode. What if you want to tune to

a different reference than A=440Hz? When you’re in the tuner mode, turn the

Middle knob on your POD while watching the display on the Floor Board. Hey, it

changes! You can set the reference frequency anywhere from 436-445Hz. This

setting is stored so you don’t have to reset it every time you turn on the amp if you

decide you want to be different (or if that piano in your rehearsal room has

decided to be different).
