cable. PODxt Pro itself contains the processing power that turns your naked input signal into that
roaring guitar Tone, which is then fed out the Analog and Digital Outs, as well as fed to the Record
Send 1-2 digitally to your computer across the USB connection. When you are connected via USB to
your computer, you can also launch GearBox and use it to alternatively load Tones stored on your hard
disc, edit them on your screen, and make adjustments for output and Record Send levels.
Phones - If you want to listen to the audio using stereo headphones, then plug them into this 1/4-inch
stereo jack. This Headphone jack outputs the same signal fed to the Analog Line Outs; the audio from
your audio software on the computer, as well as anything plugged into the Instrument input.

Line Input - if you want to record the signal from a line level source, such as a keyboard, your receiver,
the line out from a mixing console, etc…, connect it to this input using a 1/4-inch TS audio cable.
Unprocessed Guitar Out - This connection allows you to send an unprocessed signal to your recording
application, while monitoring the fully processed signal thru the main Outputs. Very handy if you’re
using a 3rd party recording interface with your recording application and the GearBox plug-in. For
more info, go to the ToneDirect™ Monitoring section of this Guide.
Note: Your PODxt Pro can also send an unprocessed signal thru its USB connector, as explained
here.
