Controls & Connections

21Guitar In – plug your guitar or bass in here. You techies will want to know this is a mono, unbalanced connection. The Guitar In Pad switch sets the sensitivity of this jack. The Inputs page is where you assign whether this input feeds Tone 1, Tone 2 or both. See Chapter 6 for more info.

22CD/MP3 In – connect a CD player, MP3 player, drum machine or other device here, and you’ll hear it at POD X3 Live’s Phones, Direct Out, and Live Out.

23Live Out – the unbalanced 1/4-inch connectors here get your POD X3 Live’s

sound to a guitar amplifier, recorder, mixer or PA system.

The Output display pages configure these outputs for Studio or Live use. In Studio Mode, they’re ready to plug into a recorder with unbalanced –10 dBV inputs. In Live Mode, they don’t have speaker simulation, and are ready for connection to an on-stage power amp. Whichever you choose, the front panel Master Volume knob determines how much signal you’ll get at these jacks. You can use either jack as a mono output, by the way.

24Direct Out – these balanced XLR connectors always provide studio-quality sound with speaker/microphone/room simulation ideal for direct recording and as a direct send to the house mixer or PA when playing live.

As detailed in Chapter 6, the System page lets you disable Master Volume control for these outputs, so you can make on-stage adjustments to the 1/4-inch outputs feeding an amp without affecting the levels sent to the house sound mixer or PA.

25Phones – plug your headphones in here to avoid noise complaints from the neighbors (or the rest of your family). The volume is set by the Master Volume knob. Any time you use headphones, it important to be sure they’re not set for ridiculous volume before your slap them on your ears. Try a MasterVolume knob setting of about 10 o’clock to start, then turn up from there if you need more volume.

26Aux Input – this mono, unbalanced 1/4-inch input can be used for a second guitar or just about any other instrument. The Inputs page is where you assign whether this input feeds Tone 1, Tone 2 or both. See Chapter 6 for more info.

27Microphone Input andTrim – plug in your microphone here and use the Trim control to get a nice, healthy level. The Inputs page is where you assign whether this input feeds Tone 1, Tone 2 or both. See Chapter 6 for more info.
