Controls & Connections
2• 2
Output - This controls the overall output level of PODXT and also sets the
headphone level. Changing the O
UTPUT level does not change your tone, so you can
get the tone you want at any volume level. This setting is not saved when you store
settings into one of the POD
XT’s memory locations.
POD
XT Pro users, note that this does not affect the level of the XLR Outputs in Live Mode
(for more on Live Mode, see “What are you connecting to?” on page 3•5).
POD
XT will give the best signal-to-noise performance when you have the OUTPUT
control at max. With the O
UTPUT control turned down low, you may get extra hiss—
which obviously ain’t what you want—if you turn up your mixer or recorder’s output to
compensate. In order to allow you to set the O
UTPUT as high as possible when
connecting to recording, mixing, and other studio gear, be sure you are plugging
POD
XT’s outputs into line level, not microphone or guitar level inputs. Line level
inputs should allow you to turn POD
XT’s OUTPUT up all the way (or close to it) and
thereby get the best sound possible. If your gear has inputs that function as mic/line
level inputs, try to set the trim for those inputs to the minimum level, and POD
XT’s
O
UTPUT to maximum, when setting levels.
Left & Right Output - (See numbers 33 and 34 for PODxt Pro’s outputs.)
These balanced 1/4-inch TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) connectors are ready to rock with pro
+4dBu balanced equipment. They will also work happily with unbalanced –10dBV
equipment and standard guitar cables. If you need mono output, you can use either one.
Pedal - Looks like a telephone connector on steroids. Connect optional Line 6
FBV or FBV Shortboard foot controllers here. POD
XT’s do not work with the Line 6
Floor Board and FB4.
USB - PODXT’s USB jack lets you connect it directly to most computers, and
record your POD
XT directly to a wide variety of popular recording software. We’ve
included a USB cable for use with our GuitarPort Windows software, Line 6 Edit
software for Mac OS X and Windows, our ToneTransfer online tone library, and
POD
XT driver software. All this software—along with directions for using it—is free for
you to download at www.line6.com.
