Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
these are what you want to connect to your monitoring system when using PODxt as your
computer’s sound card. Use shielded ¼-inch tipped cables to connect directly to your powered
speakers, mixer or power amp setup. Note that you can also use the Phones jack on PODxt if you
want to use headphones for monitoring.
USB - This is where you connect the supplied USB cable to PODxt, with the other end going to
your computer’s USB port. Of course your PODxt is capable of processing your guitar Tone all
by itself, but you’ll need to connect the USB cable to your computer to use it with GearBox, and
to use PODxt as your sound card device. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB
controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide PODxt with the full USB
bandwidth. It is also recommended to connect directly into a USB port on your computer and not
into a USB hub.

.
Instrument input – Connect your electric guitar or bass here using a standard 1/4-inch TS
instrument cable. PODxt Live itself contains the processing power that turns your naked input
signal into that roaring guitar Tone, which is then fed out the Analog Line 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.
Analog Line Outs - These Left and Right ¼-inch jacks output all audio signals; the audio from
your audio software on the computer, and anything plugged into any the Instrument and Aux
inputs. So, these are what you want to connect to your monitoring system when using PODxt
Live as your computer’s sound card. Use shielded ¼-inch tipped cables to connect directly to
your powered speakers, mixer or power amp setup. Note that you can also use the Phones jack on
PODxt Live if you want to use headphones for monitoring.
Aux In (Monitor In) - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source mixed with all the
other audio coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded, then plug the
source in here. Note that this is a stereo jack, so you should use a stereo 1/8-inch tipped stereo
