GETTING SET UP: SCENARIO ONE – IN THE STUDIO
3 • 3
BOOM BOXES & SMALL PORTABLE STUDIOS
Connect the output of the POD to the input of your system. Ideally, you want
to connect both right and left outputs to your gear and run stereo. Make sure the
A.I.R. switch is set to “Direct,” plug your guitar into the guitar input, and
away you go. Set your POD Output Level
so that you’re getting plenty of
signal feeding into your gear, but not so loud that it’s overdriving your system and
distorting. Try turning the Amp Model Selector to POD Clean, set POD’s
Drive to the 9 or 10 o’clock position, and Channel Volume to Max.
Now play with the POD Output Level knob and any input volume control on your
system so you can get the maximum sound level out of your POD without going
too far so that you overdrive the input and cause unwanted distortion. If you’ve
got some headphones handy, you can plug them into the POD headphone output
to compare that it sounds the same as what you hear through your system. Before
you strap the phones on your ears, be careful that the headphones aren’t too loud,
since their level is set by the Output Level, too.
