GETTING SET UP: SCENARIO ONE – IN THE STUDIO

3 • 3

BOOM BOXES & SMALL PORTABLE STUDIOS

Connect the output of the POD to the input of your system. Ideally, you want

to connect both right and left outputs to your gear and run stereo. Make sure the

A.I.R. switch is set to DIRECT, plug your guitar into the guitar input, and

away you go. Set your POD Output Level

so that you’re getting plenty of

signal feeding into your gear, but not so loud that it’s overdriving your system and

distorting. Try turning the Amp Model knob to POD Clean, set POD’s

Drive to the 9 or 10 o’clock position, and Chan Vol to Max. Now play

with the POD Output Level knob and any input volume control on your system

so you can get the maximum sound level out of your POD without going so far

that you overdrive the input and cause unwanted distortion. If you’ve got some

headphones handy, you can plug them into the POD headphone output to make

sure that it sounds the same as what you hear through your system. Before you

strap the phones on your ears, be careful that the headphones aren’t too loud,

since their level is set by the Output Level, too.
