Need quick instructions for a particular setup? Just follow these easy steps. And like any good recipe, once you’ve got the hang of things, feel free to add your own tweaks on these recommended settings to spice it up...

Mono or Stereo Recording or Direct to Mixer/PA

1.Connect output(s) to your recorder, mixer or PA:

•POD X3: connect the 1/4-inch outs.

•POD X3 Live & POD X3 Pro: the XLR outputs are recommended for live sound systems, to provide a level that approximately matches a mic’ed up amp. You can also use them for recording into mic preamps, or use the 1/4-inch outputs to get hotter, line level outputs.

2.Set the second OUTPUTS page (Studio/Direct Mix):

• Tone 1: as desired

7•1

•Tone 1 Pan: as desired

•Tone 2: as desired

•Tone 2 Pan: as desired

3.When using the 1/4-inch jacks, also set the 1/4-inch OUTPUTS page:

•Mode: MATCH STUDIO/DIRECT

4.Check your Master Volume.

•Select the loudest preset/settings you intend to use.

•Play your instrument and turn Master Volume as high as you can without clipping the system you’re feeding.
