POD XT Pro owners, if you’re going to use anything beyond the standard guitar input and
analog outputs, we can’t cover all your options on this brief page. See Chapter 2 to learn
about controls, and then get deep with the inputs and outputs in the PODxt Pro —
Configurations & Connections section that starts on page 3•8 .
1. Turn the O
UTPUT
L

control all the way down to zero.
2. Connect the L
EFT
and R
IGHT
O
UTPUTS
to your recorder or mixer’s
inputs, or plug the left output into your guitar amp’s input. Or connect
headphones to the P
HONES
jack on your POD
XT
for silent jamming.
3. Connect the included power pack or power cable to your POD XT , and
plug the other end into a power jack.

5. Flip the P

6. POD
XT comes ready to rock for direct connection to your recording
setup. If you’re connecting to a guitar amp, it’s essential to let your
PODXT know so it gives you the best tone. Do this by pressing TUNE/
SYSTEM, then turning the SELECT knob one step clockwise. Press the
button below DEST (Destination) and then turn the EFFECT TWEAK
knob to tell your PODxt what type of amp you’re connecting to. PODxt
will automatically override this setting when you plug in headphones, so
you don’t have to do anything to get great headphone sound.
7. Select an Amp Model using the A
MP MODEL knob. Set the CHAN VOL
to max and the DRIVE, BASS, MID, TREBLE and PRESENCE to your
heart’s desire. OUTPUT sets the, uh, output level.
8. Turn the E
FFECTS knob to load an Effects Setup, then twist the
R
EVERB and EFFECT TWEAK knobs so you’re happy with the sound. Tap
the TAP tempo button to set the speed of the selected effect.
9. Browse pre-programmed tones using the S
ELECT knob or by pressing any
of the four buttons below the display. You can press any one of those
buttons twice for a “Manual Override” that gives you where-the-knobs-
are-is-how-it-sounds operation.
10. Now before you run off, please give the page a quick flip and....
