Assign preset knobs?

[weitzhandler]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to change the parameters that are controlled by the knobs 1-5 below the display. I want to assign the knobs to specific parameters of different blocks.

I'm not sure of the terminology for this, I've tried to look it up in the user manual and thruough the settings and couldn't find it.

 

Thank you!

Look no further. That can’t be done. All 5 knobs control parameters of the currently selected Amp/Cab/FX block. No reassignment is possible.

The default setting for these 5 knobs when you select a patch will depend on the amp, cab or fx highlighted in the view window. So if you always want the amp parameters to show whenever you select a patch, if you select the amp in the view window and save the patch it will always default to show the amp parameters.   

 

But here's a related question.  I've selected a patch and the 5 knobs show amp parameter.  I now want to tweak the reverb whilst I'm playing. In Pod Go, because it's switches are not touch capacitance type as in Helix, in stomp mode I'd have to switch the reverb off and on again for the 5 knobs to show the reverb parameters, which is a nuisance and clumsy.  Am I missing something or is it just a limitation of Pod Go not having touch capacitance switching?

Define your acceptable limits and expectations re: tweaking whilst you are playing. Do you mean you don’t want to take your fingers off the strings at all (you’re playing, after all)? Do you want to somehow do it with your feet? Unfortunately POD Go has no Hands-free Edit Mode. If it’s acceptable to do the tweaking with your fingers, how many seconds of fingers-off-the-strings is tolerable? How would you manage to perform these tweaks on ‘real’ equipment like a physical amp and analog pedals?

 

On the POD Go I think the best way is to interrupt your playing (choose an appropriate moment!) and use your fingers to enter Edit Mode and select the Reverb block rather than the amp block. This avoids the Reverb on/off that you describe. Then tweak away on the now-available parameter knobs - again, with your fingers. The entire process could be done in a few seconds. You could even split it into segments and return to playing in between (stop playing and hit the VIEW button to select Edit mode; return to playing; stop playing and select the Reverb block; return to playing; stop playing and tweak the parameter; repeat for other parameters.) You get the idea….

Sure, I understand the different options - but basically I just wanted to sense-check I'm not missing anything.

This is basically what I was referring to. I'm willing to leave the string and bend down for a sec to touch the device, but I rather do it with one action rather than 5.

Before I had the Pod Go I used HoTone Ampero and you could customize which parameters would be contrallable with the main screen knobs.

I had the reverb mix value, delay mix value, IR blend value and room for another one or two such parameter that are commonly used.

 

I understand this is not implemented in the Pod Go, but in the other hand, since this is a software issue (rather than hardware), this can be easily achivable.

 

I've opened this suggestion so we can vote for Line 6 to consider it.

 

Thank you all!
