Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
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 3-rd 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.
Unbalanced and Balanced Analog Line Outs - The Left and Right Unbalanced ¼-inch jacks
and the Balanced XLR jacks output all audio signals; the audio from your audio software on the
computer, and anything plugged into any the Instrument inputs (and effects loop, if you are using
it). 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 or XLR 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 Pro if you want to use headphones for monitoring.
USB - This is where you connect the supplied USB cable to PODxt Pro, with the other end going
to your computer’s USB port. Of course your PODxt Pro 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 Pro 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
Pro 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.
AES/EBU and S/PDIF Digital connections - To connect to another digital audio device with
your PODxt Pro, use the pair of these digital jacks that matches the format of your other device
Analog Line Outs, Use either Unbalanced (¼
-inch) jacks or Balanced (XLR) jacks to
connect to your powered speakers or mixer
Digital Input and Output – use the
AES/EBU or S/PDIF type connections to
connect to other digital gear that uses one of
these formats
