GETTING SET UP • PODxt — Playing Live
3 • 7
If you have a guitar amp with an effect return or a jack that lets you connect directly to
the input to the power amp, you can plug POD
XT’s output right into that connection
and that will generally bypass the tone controls of the amp and avoid their coloring of
POD
XT’s tones. When plugging into the effect return or amp directly this way, you
want to choose
LIVE 2X12 or LIVE 4X12 on the What Are You Connecting To? page.
External Stomp Boxes and PODXT
If you’ve been playing guitar for a while, you probably have some favorite pedals that
you dig. And even though POD
XT has now graced your life with some pretty hip stomp
box and rack effects models, you probably still want to have the option of keeping those
old pedals in your arsenal. No problem! Just remember that if you’re going to use
POD
XT with those other effects boxes in front, they’re going to act differently based on
the Amp Model you’ve selected on your POD
XT. It’s just like you’d expect — different
combinations will produce a veritable feast of tone! Some distortion boxes may sound
overly harsh if you max their output volume into your PODxt. Try lowering the
distortion box’s volume, and you can always add more gain with POD
XT’s DRIVE knob
or its own S
TOMP effects.
