Guitar In – Connect your guitar or bass here using a standard 1/4-inch TS instrument cable. POD X3 Live itself contains the processing power that turns your naked input signal into that roaring guitar Tone, which is then fed to the “Direct/Studio Mix”, out the Analog Left & Right Outputs and S/PDIF digital output. This signal is also fed out the Record Sends digitally to your computer across the USB

2.0connection. When connected via USB to your computer, you can also launch GearBox and use it to alternatively load Tones stored on your hard disc, edit them on your screen, and make adjustments for output and Record Send levels. POD X3 is also capable of applying two Tones on your Input 1 - Just dial up one of the tone presets in the “Blends” folder of POD X3 and you’ll have two complete Tones applied to your Input 1 signal! Or, go the POD X3’s Inputs screen to choose what you want Tone 1 and Tone 2 applied to.

CD/MP3 Input – Connect a CD player, MP3 player, drum machine or other audio device into this stereo 1/8-inch jack and you’ll hear it at POD X3 Live’s Phones, Direct Out, and Live Out so you can jam along. Note that the audio coming into this input is not routed to the Record Sends, so it won’t be recorded.

Phones - If you want to listen to the audio using stereo headphones, then plug them into this 1/4-inch stereo jack. This Headphone jack outputs the same signal fed to the Analog Line Outs; the audio from your audio software on the computer, as well as anything plugged into the Guitar, Mic, Aux, Variax or CD/MP3 inputs.

Microphone Input & Trim knob – Connect a microphone here using a standard XLR cable. You can use the little “Trim” knob to adjust the mic signal coming into POD X3, much like you would on a mixer console. Just like with Input 1, POD X3 itself applies preamp and effects models to your mic input, which is then fed out the Analog Left & Right Outputs and S/PDIF digital output. This signal is also fed out the Record Sends digitally to your computer across the USB 2.0 connection. When you are connected via USB to your computer, you can also launch GearBox and use it to alternatively load Tones stored on your hard disc, edit them on your screen, and make adjustments for output and Record Send levels. POD X3 is also capable of applying a Dual Tone, such as independently slathering a guitar Tone on Input 1, and a mic preamp and effects on Input 2 simultaneously! Just go to the “Pairs” folder of your POD X3 to call up some of these pre-baked guitar/mic Dual Tones! Or, go the POD X3’s Inputs screen to choose what you want Tone 1 and Tone 2 applied to.
