POD X3

1 Display – the LCD (liquid crystal display) is your window into the power of POD X3. You’ll see (2) types of “pages” in the display:
Home Page – the “Tone Path” Home Page shows you all the digital processing “blocks” that are working to deliver your great tone. For User Presets, you can also switch to a “Big User” Home Page, which shows you the bank and channel number where the preset is stored. The tone names that are loaded in the current preset, and the bank and channel number where the preset is stored are also displayed. You can get to the Home Page at any time by pressing the Home button. You can toggle between the two Home Pages by repeatedly pressing the Home button.
Edit Page – shows you all parameters available to tweak for a processing block or setup page.

Delay, Reverb, and Wah edit pages. Full details are in Chapter 5.
You can also press this knob to store your own tweaked-up sounds in POD X3. Just press, choose what to store and where to store it, and press the button again to complete the
Save. Chapter 4 will fill you in.
3 Home / Hold for Commands – press to return to the Home Page. For User Presets, press repeatedly to toggle between the Tone Path Home Page and the Big User Home Page. Press and hold for 2 seconds to enter the Commands page. Full details are in Chapter 6.

Controls & Connections
Press the Home button to leave the Edit page and return to the Home Page. Chapter 5 gives you details on all the Edit pages available.
7 Outputs / Hold for System – press to enter the Outputs setup page, where you can set up POD X3 for whatever you’re connecting it to. This is a very important step for getting the best sound out of your POD X3. Press and hold for 2 seconds to enter the
System setup page. Full details are in Chapter 6. |

8 Multi-function Knobs – turn any one of these knobs to adjust the |
|
corresponding parameter in the display. |

See Chapter 4 to learn about Home Page functions for these knobs.
9 Keypad – these buttons allow you to do the following:
Tone 2 / Hold for Dual – press to toggle between Tone 1 and Tone 2 (you’re editing
Tone 2 when the button is lit). Press and hold to turn Dual Tone on or off. See Chapter 4 for more details, including info on using an FBV to control Dual Tone functions.
Amp, Stomp, Mod, Delay, Verb – press to turn the Amp, Stomp, Mod, Delay, and Reverb processing blocks on or off (the blocks are on when the buttons are lit). Double-press one of these buttons to tweak the block. For example, just press the
Stomp button two times quickly and you’re instantly taken to the Stomp Box Edit Page. Press the Home button to leave the Edit Page and return to the Home Page.
Chapter 5 gives you details on all the Edit Pages available.
Tap / Hold for Tuner – POD X3 allows you to control the time and speed of your
Delay and/or Mod effects by simply tapping on this button. Just tap a few times here and the effects that are set to “lock” to that tempo will change to match what you tapped. There’s also a Tempo parameter in the effects’ Edit Pages, so you’ll see exactly what Tempo you’ve tapped. This is especially useful if you are trying to nudge your Tap

Press and hold the Tap button for 2 seconds to activate the tuner. You can also add |

And when you change Amp Models, the response and interactivity of these controls |

Reverb – spin this knob to set the Reverb level of the Tone that is currently |

14 Master Volume – this controls the overall output level of POD X3 and also sets the headphone level. Changing the MasterVolume level does not change your tone, so you can get the tone you want at any volume level. This setting is not saved when you store settings into one of the POD X3’s memory locations.
When running into line level gear (like recorders, mixers and PA’s), POD X3 will generally give the best signal-to-noise performance when you have the Master Volume control at max. With the Master Volume control turned down low, you may get extra hiss – which obviously isn’t what you want – if you turn up your mixer or recorder’s output to compensate. In order to allow you to set the Master Volume as high as possible when connecting to recording, mixing, and other studio gear, be sure you are plugging POD X3’s outputs into line level, not microphone or guitar level inputs. Line level inputs should allow you to turn POD X3’s Master Volume up all the way (or close to it) and thereby get the best sound possible. If your gear has inputs that function as mic/line level inputs, try to set the trim for those inputs to the minimum level, and POD X3’s Master

Volume to maximum, when setting levels.
15 Clip Light – this lights when clipping is detected, which generally means unpleasantly distorted, bad sound. Try reducing the output level of the device that’s feeding your POD X3, or reducing the Tone Volume for Tone 1 or Tone 2, or the volume of Tone 1 + Tone 2 that can be adjusted from the right knob below the Home Page.
16 Input 1/Guitar In – plug your guitar or bass in here. You techies will want to know this is a mono, unbalanced connection. The Inputs page is where you assign
whether this input feeds Tone 1, Tone 2 or both. See Chapter 6 for more info. |

Phones – plug your headphones in here to avoid noise complaints from the |

neighbors (or the rest of your family). The volume is set by the Master Volume knob. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Any time you use headphones, it important to be sure they’re not set for ridiculous volume |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
before your slap them on your ears. Try a MasterVolume knob setting of about 10 o’clock |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
to start, then turn up from there if you need more volume. |

To give you great sound through the headphones, your POD X3 automatically switches |

to Studio Mode whenever headphones are connected (for more on Studio Mode, see |

Outputs in Chapter 6.). |

18 Power – connect the included PX-2 power pack and flip the switch here to bring your POD X3 to life.
19 Input 2/Microphone In andTrim – plug in your microphone here and
use the Trim control to get a nice, healthy level. The Inputs page is where you assign whether this input feeds Tone 1, Tone 2 or both. See Chapter 6 for more info.
