Using the Looper
8•2
*Note: The “Play Once” and “Pre/Post” Looper Block position options are not accessible
via POD HD buttons. Play Once is accessible only with FBV Controller devices. The
Looper Block is moveable like any FX Model Block within the Signal Flow View screen.
To follow are descriptions of the functions shown in the Looper screen.
UNDO - Use the Bank Up button to “undo” the last recorded overdub. You can
press this button while actively in Overdub-Record mode, Loop Playback mode,
or while stopped and only the last recorded overdub is erased. This function will
not erase the originally recorded Loop.
PLAY ONCE - Pressing the FBV footswitch plays your recorded Loop (including overdubs,
if you’ve recorded any) for one cycle. Cool for triggering a pre-recorded phrase on demand!
• While playback is active, the Play/Stop icon appears as “STOP,” to indicate
that it can be pressed to stop playback immediately.
PRE/POST - The Looper Block can be moved to either a “Pre” or “Post” position within
the Signal Flow View, which dictates whether Amp & FX processing is added to your
guitar signal during the recording of your Loop, or only for the Loop’s playback.
• PRE: Your guitar signal is recorded unprocessed (i.e. - the Loop is recorded “pre”
Amp & FX processing). When played back, the Loop audio is mixed with incoming
guitar to feed the current Preset’s Amp & FX processing. If you change Presets or
tone settings while set to PRE, you’ll hear them applied to your Loop playback.
• When the Looper is set to PRE, the Pre/Post icon appears as “POST,”
to indicate thatthe Looper Block can be moved to the “POST” position.
• POST: Your guitar signal is recorded processed (i.e. - the Loop is recorded “post”
Amp & FX processing). When played back, the Loop audio is mixed with incoming
guitar AFTER the guitar signal has been processed through the Amp and FX. This
provides the ability select a new Preset which is applied only on your guitar input,
while the Loop plays back with the original recorded Preset tone!
• When the Looper is set to POST, the Pre/Post icon appears as “PRE,”
to indicate that the Looper Block can be moved to the “PRE” position.
