POD
XT is ready to give you world-class tone, no matter what you’re plugging into.
It’s as happy to live on stage, plugged into your ol’ standby amp, as it is working
alongside the most elite of world-class recording systems. (And who wouldn’t be?)
To tell you what you need for where you’re going, this chapter’s got three sections:
PODxt - In the Studio
PODxt - Playing Live
PODxt Pro - Connection & Configuration
But first, it’s the...
All Purpose Basics
1. Plug the power supply or cable into the wall, and connect it to the power connector
on your POD
XT.
2. Connect your guitar to POD
XT’s INPUT (PODXT Pro’s GUITAR IN) .
3. POD
XT: Connect PODXT to whatever you’re going to be playing it into. The
O
UTPUT connectors are balanced 1/4-inch TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) connectors,
ready to rock with pro +4dBu balanced equipment. They will also work quite
happily with unbalanced -10dBV equipment and standard guitar cables. To run
POD
XT mono, you can use either the LEFT or RIGHT output.
POD
XT Pro: Use either pair of rear panel outputs, and see the details in the third
section of this chapter. Press the I/O & DIG SELECT button to select Guitar
(or whatever else you want) as your input.
