The Compressor effect is just the thing when you want to smooth out your levels the way

 

that you would typically do in a recording studio.

Thresh – determines how aggressive you want the Compressor to be in smoothing things out. More negative numbers make the Compressor more active in taming your levels, so -32dB is a more aggressive setting than -16dB, say. Some makeup gain is also added as you turn the knob to the left, making for a much easier tweaking experience.

Gain – controls (what else?) gain, so that even when you’re really squashing your signal with an aggressive threshold setting, you’ll be able to get good volume levels out of your POD X3, POD X3 Live or POD X3 Pro.
