Pod Express Guitar/Bass...Any way to tell what preset you are on?? Seems like a big omission. :(

Is there a way to tell which of the presets you have scrolled to or are on?

If not seems like a huge omission as it makes it nearly unusable in a live situation.

And yes I know that that is not what this is intended for, but it would make a great backup to my PodGo for gigs if it had this functionality.

The addition of a simple 2 number LED readout between the top two knobs couldn't have added that much cost.

If I'm wrong let me know but I can't find anything on how he preset number is displayed.

So I'm kinda answering myself here.

I just had a harder look at the manual and found where the position and color of the Center Knob LEDs will tell you the preset you are on.

I still think a two digit LED would have been an easy add but I know they have to keep the costs down.

The position of the LED and color would be mighty confusing from a position standing behind the pedal on the floor...

Anyway, my next want would be for an aux 4 button switch that would connect to USB for direct preset actuation.

The two buttons on the device could then be bank up and down.

I know 4 doesn't go into 21 evenly and a 3 button switch would make more sense but 4 would line up with the PODGo button/preset layout.

I'd forgo the 21st preset for that... LOL.

Future firmware upgrades maybe?

I have thought about this problem.  I wish I had the source code and could flash this device... i would fix it

 

You could change is when you first turn a dial to adjust a setting, it displays the current setting and "holds" for 2 or 3 seconds.
