Studio/Direct Outputs – These balanced XLR outs carry your tone complete with speaker/microphone/ room simulation, perfect in the studio for pro-quality sound or as a direct send to a house mixer or PA when playing live.

Output Level Switch – Use this to toggle the level of the Studio/Direct Outputs to best match the hardware inputs you are plugging into - Mic or Line level.

Ground Lift Switch – This switch lets you lift the grounds of POD X3 Pro’s XLR Studio/Direct Outs. You can set this to “LIFT” if you get an audible hum caused by a ground loop when connecting to other grounded equipment. Otherwise, best to keep this set to “GND”.

Unprocessed Outputs – These unbalanced 1/4-inch connectors give you an unprocessed guitar signal, tapped directly off of your POD X3 Pro’s guitar input. This is perfect for recording a “naked” guitar, allowing you to later re-amp or use plug-ins to process your recorded guitar track.

Line Inputs – These two unbalanced 1/4-inch inputs can be used for a second guitar, another instrument, line outs from other audio devices, etc. The Inputs page on POD X3 Pro is where you assign whether these inputs feed Tone 1, Tone 2 or both.

Left & Right Live Outs – The unbalanced 1/4-inch connectors here get your POD X3 Pro’s sound to a guitar amplifier, recorder, mixer or PA system. Go to POD X3 Pro’s Output screen to 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. The POD X3 System page has options allowing you to disable the 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 Direct/Studio Output levels sent to the house sound mixer or PA.

Output Level Switch – This switch allows you to set the level of the Left & right Live Outs to AMP or LINE level.

Effects Loop – The Effects Loop provides two jacks for stereo FX Send and two for stereo FX Return, operating at approximately 19.5 Volts peak-to-peak, making it optimal for line level devices. The loop can also be used with most stomp boxes by adjusting the send and return levels. Use the Left Return jack for mono return. The loop can run pre or post Amp Model, and if nothing is connected to it, POD X3 Pro is smart enough to disable the loop so you still get sound.
