operating at approximately 19.5 Volts peak-to-peak, making it optimal for line level devices. The loop
can also be used with most stomp boxes by adjusting the send and return levels. Use the Left Return
jack for mono return. The loop can run pre or post Amp Model, and if nothing is connected to it, POD
X3 Pro is smart enough to disable the loop so you still get sound.
Using PODxt Family Devices with Your Computer...
If you own a PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, then you can also reap the DAW benefits with the
purchase of the POD Farm Plug-In Add-On! To get POD Farm Plug-In, just connect PODxt to your
computer and run Line 6 Monkey, where you can purchase, download and install everything you need
without even leaving your chair. Read more about Line 6 Monkey and this process here, or just head
on over to the Line 6 Online Store.
POD Farm software does not function in Standalone operation with PODxt family devices. Since all
processing is done on your PODxt hardware itself, you can call up your PODxt tones and adjust settings
on the device itself, and use the Line 6 audio driver settings to feed whatever signal you want out the
Record Sends for use with your DAW software!
You can also of course utilize PODxt as a high performance sound card for your Mac

or Windows

computer, allowing you to record all those groovy POD Tones, or even dry input signals, directly into
your DAW. To control the Monitor level and type of signal fed to PODxt’s Record Send 1-2 (Processed,
Semi-Processed, Dry), launch the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog on you computer. For details on
all the audio driver settings and options, please check out the PODxt - Audio Signal Routing & Re-
Amping section that follows.
Note - be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting/
disconnecting the USB cable and powering on/off POD X3, as well as before booting up or shutting down
your computer if POD X3 is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your speakers last,
and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid a “pop”.
