3•6 computer via USB:

•1-2 is the main signal, configured on POD X3’s Outputs page for Digital Outs.

•3-4 is Tone 1 separately in stereo.

•5-6 is Tone 2 separately in stereo.

•7 is the sum of the inputs you’ve chosen for Tone 1.

22FBV Pedal – connect an optional foot controller here, including the FBV, FBV Shortboard, and FBV Express. The System page lets you set it all up. See Chapter 6 for details. Note that POD X3 does not work with the older Line 6 Floor Board or FBV2.

23Left & Right Outputs – these balanced, 1/4-inch TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) connectors are ready to rock with pro +4 dBu balanced equipment. They will also work happily with unbalanced –10 dBV equipment and standard guitar cables. If you need mono output, you can use either one.
