Page 3, Setup: Input Options
The Inputs Setup page allows you to select which of the device’s audio inputs are used
as the “source” – sort of like a built-in, programmable patchbay. There is also a control
which adjusts the Guitar input impedance.
• Input 1 and Input 2 Source (Knobs 1 & 2) - Select the physical input(s) that
you want to be the “source” which feeds into the signal path. Note that you can
choose dierent Sources to independently feed each signal path, or choose
Same to feed a common Source into both paths.
• The Variax and Variax Mag Input Source options are provided for Variax®
guitars when connected into the POD HD Pro X VARIAX Digital Input (VDI).
• With a James Tyler® Variax® (JTV), the “Variax” Input Source receives the
Model or Magnetic signal, depending on the JTV’s Model switch settings.* The
“Variax Mag” Input Source receives only the JTV’s Magnetic Pickup signal.
*Note: With a JTV in use, the “Variax” Input Source selection also recalls whether you were using
mags or models per preset, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off – no need for
manual selection or input changes.
• If you own a rst-generation Variax instrument, it is recommended to choose
the Variax Input Source option. Please also refer to your Variax documentation.
• Guitar In-Z - Select the input impedance of the Guitar input. This feature aects
tone and feel because your guitar pickups are being loaded as they would be by
an eect pedal or a tube amplier.
Note: The Guitar In-Z setting affects the GUITAR IN input only. Please see the Impedance Ratings
table at the end of this section to reference the input impedance of each individual model.
• The Auto option dynamically sets the input impedance to match the input
impedance of the very rst Amp or FX model in your POD HD signal chain.
