Loading and Saving Presets

When using the macOS or Windows app, you can access your POD Express device’s presets by clicking click on the arrow buttons to the right or the Preset Name field to load the next/previous preset. The loaded preset’s name appears in the field, as shown below. For accessing presets in the mobile app and additional preset management tasks, you can use the Preset Library—see the following section.

Managing Presets in the Preset Librarian

The Preset Librarian can optionally be hidden or shown via the arrow button that appears at the top left of the app (or via the Librarian button within the Mobile app). The Librarian syncs to your device on app launch to display all its presets within locations 01 through 21. Click on any location to select its preset and use the Librarian command buttons to perform the desired preset management functions.*

Updating the POD Express Device Firmware

Updating your POD Express device will ensure you always have the latest models, features, enhancements, and bug fixes. To update your device, use the built-in Updater within the POD Express Edit application on your macOS or Windows computer. Go to the app’s Updater screen and follow the on-screen steps, as shown in the video below.

Note: Alternatively, you can use the free Line 6 Central application for macOS and Windows computers to perform firmware updates on POD Express (and other current Line 6 devices), available from line6.com/software. The following update steps are very similar when using the Line 6 Central application.
