1. If you’re using your POD for recording, set the rear panel LIVE/
STUDIO switch to ‘STUDIO,’ and connect POD’s 1/4 inch or XLR
outputs to your mixer or recorder inputs, or connect headphones.
2. If you’re using your POD as a preamp into a power amp and
speaker cab(s), set the rear panel L
IVE/STUDIO switch to ‘LIVE,’ and
connect POD’s 1/4 inch outputs (not the XLRs) to your amp inputs.
3. Connect your guitar to the G
UITAR INPUT JACK and set the toggle
switch above the jack to ‘GUITAR INPUT.’
4. Connect the rear panel P
OWER and flip the front panel POWER
switch to fire up. (Keep the volume down on your amp or mixer in
case of audible pops at POD’s outputs during power up).
5. Select an A
MP MODEL.
6. Set the C
HANNEL VOLUME to max and the BASS, MID, and TREBLE
to your heart’s desire. OUTPUT LEVEL sets output level. (Clever!)
7. Pick an E
FFECTS setting and adjust the EFFECT TWEAK and REVERB
LEVEL so you’re happy with the sound. Tap the TAP button to set
the speed of the selected effect.
8. Browse the pre-programmed settings using the U
P/DOWN arrows.
Or press the MANUAL button for a “Manual Override” that gives
you where-the-knobs-are-is-how-it-sounds operation.
9. What number 9? You’re already up and running!
But wait, before you go any further, flip to the inside back cover of this manual and

opened out while you’re thumbing through the manual. If you photocopy the back
of it, you’ll have a handy template for making a note of your favorite POD
settings. Now then, before you run off....
