good recipe, once you’ve got the hang of things, feel free to add your own tweaks on these
recommended settings to spice it up...

POD X3:• connect the 1/4-inch outs.
POD X3 Live & POD X3 Pro:• the XLR outputs are recommended for live sound
systems, to provide a level that approximately matches a mic’ed up amp. You can
also use them for recording into mic preamps, or use the 1/4-inch outputs to get
hotter, line level outputs.
2. Set the second OUTPUTS page (Studio/Direct Mix):
Tone 1: as desired•
Tone 1 Pan: as desired•
Tone 2: as desired•
Tone 2 Pan: as desired•
3. When using the 1/4-inch jacks, also set the 1/4-inch OUTPUTS page:

4. Check your Master Volume.

Play your instrument and turn Master Volume as high as you can without clipping •
the system you’re feeding.
