to another device’s MIDI Out. Use standard 5-pin MIDI cables for these connections. For more information, please see your POD X3 Pilot’s Handbook, or check out the more comprehensive MIDI documentation available for download on the GearBox - User Manuals page of the Line 6 web site.

Variax In - Got yourself a Line 6 Variax guitar or bass? Plug it in here for a direct digital audio connection between the guitar and POD X3 Pro. The POD X3 Inputs screen is where you assign whether this input feeds Tone 1, Tone 2 or both. See your POD X3 Pilot’s Handbook for more info.

Be sure to keep the protective plastic cap on this connection when it’s not connected to a Variax, so you won’t damage it by mistakenly inserting a 1/4-inch guitar cable or other connection. When you are ready to connect a Variax, use only Line 6 supplied Variax-compatible cables – not standard Ethernet or other

cables – to avoid damage to the jack. You can learn more about the Variax family of guitars, each one giving you the sound of an entire guitar collection in one instrument, at www.line6.com/variax.

USB 2.0 - This is where you connect the supplied USB cable to POD X3 Pro, with the other end going to your computer’s USB 2.0 port. Of course, your POD X3 is capable of processing your Tones all by itself, but you’ll need to connect the USB cable to your computer to use it with GearBox, and to use POD X3 Pro as your sound card device. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB 2.0 controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide POD X3 with the full USB bandwidth. It is also recommended to connect directly into a USB 2.0 port on your computer and not into a USB hub.

Be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting/disconnecting the USB cable and powering on/off POD X3, as well as before booting up or shutting down your computer if POD X3 is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid a “pop”.
