CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS
Now would be a good time to turn to the nifty back cover of this manual and notice
that it folds out. Ooh, pretty pictures! The idea is to have this essential pictorial
reference always opened out while you’re thumbing through the manual. It’s also got all
the essential details for quickly getting around on your POD
XT. The boxed numbers
that pop up throughout this manual correspond to the numbers on the foldout’s
illustrations. The back side of the cover’s got handy pictures for the FBV and FBV
Shortboard foot controllers, plus signal flow and connection guides.
Power Switch - Flip this to bring your PODXT to life. PODXT Pro includes a
standard IEC grounded power cable. For POD
XT, use only the included PX-2 power
pack.
Input/Guitar In - Plug your guitar in here. (You techies will want to know
this is a mono, un-balanced connection).
Phones - Plug your headphones in here for silent concertos. The volume is set
by the O
UTPUT knob. Any time you use headphones, it important to be sure they’re
not set for ridiculous volume before your slap them on your ears. Try an O
UTPUT knob
setting of about 10 o’clock when first putting the headphones on, them turn up from
there if you need more volume.
So that you hear appropriate sound through the headphones, POD
XT automatically
switches to Studio Mode whenever headphones are connected (for more on Studio
Mode, see “What are you connecting to?” on page 3•2).
