9. Drive - DRIVE is like the gain knob on most amps; controlling how
much “dirt” or distortion you get in the sound. POD HD500X can run
up to two amps at once so make sure you select the amp you want
to be adjusting with the amp control (via the CTL: Amp parameter)
before turning the DRIVE knob.
10. Tone Controls - BASS, MID, TREBLE and PRESENCE controls
are customized for each Amp Model to give you optimal tonal
control.Whenyouturnanyoftheseknobs,thedisplaywillbriey

PRESENCE knobs. Remember, when running two amps to be sure
to select the amp you want to adjust before turning these knobs.

modelwithoutaecting thetoneordistortion characteristicofthe

12. Master Volume Knob - This controls the overall output level of POD
HD500X, including the headphone level. Changing the MASTER
VOLUME level does not change your tone, so you can get the tone
you want at any volume level. This setting is global and is not saved
when you store settings into the POD HD500X memory locations.
Note: POD HD500X will generally give the best signal-to-noise
performance when you have the MASTER VOLUME control at
maximum. With the MASTER VOLUME control turned down low,
you may get extra hiss – which obviously isn’t what you want – if you
turn up your mixer or recorder’s output to compensate. In order to
allow you to set the MASTER VOLUME as high as possible when
connecting to recording, mixing, and other studio gear, be sure
