The top portion of the screen lists the Flash Memory and USB Firmware versions currently
installed on your POD HD500 device. The lower portion of the screen offers four options,
adjustable using the Multi-function Knobs 1 - 4.
• Footswitch Mode (Knob 1): Congures the function of POD HD500 footswitches
FS5 through FS8 for either “Pedalboard Mode” or “Preset Mode” (see “Bank &
Channel Footswitches” on page 4•5). This setting is global.
Note that you can reference all current footswitch assignments in the Performance View
screen, which will change its display according to the Footswitch Mode you choose here.
See “FX & Amp Block Footswitch Assignment” on page 3•10.
• Amp Knobs Display (Knob 2): When set to “On,” allows the LCD screen to
momentarily display the actual Amp Tone Knob values whenever adjusting any
physical amp knob. This setting is global.
• Looper FS Display (Knob 3): When the LOOPER footswitch is toggled On to engage
Looper Mode, the Performance View screen automatically changes to display Looper
footswitch functions (see page 8•1). This setting is global. The two selections here
offer the following behaviors when Looper Mode is active:
• All Views: Shows the Looper controls in the LCD regardless of the currently
selected View.
• Performance View: Shows the Looper screen as the Performance View screen
(and allows the 3 Home View screens to still be displayed when toggling the
VIEW button).
