PODxt - Audio Signal Routing & Re-Amping
Re-Amping is the fancy, schmancy name for recording a dry, unaltered instrument signal to be processed
later during mixing - this gives you the greatest flexibility to make later tone tweaks, since you don’t
have to commit a particular sound to the track(s). This is, of course, the way that plug-ins work, so it’s
something that all plug-ins, including GearBox Plug-in, provide. If you don’t have plug-ins but do have
PODxt, there’s another kind of re-amping available.
PODxt, PODxt Pro and PODxt Live provide an additional set of driver options for recording where
the signal fed to Record Send 1-2 can be set to “processed” or “unprocessed” independently from
what you are hearing as your monitor signal from the PODxt device. Access the PODxt Audio Signal
Routing options by clicking the Advanced button in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices control panel...

In the PODxt Signal Routing selector you can choose one of four routing modes for the signals that
run inside PODxt, and to Record Send 1-2:
Send Processed Guitar • - This is the normal mode of operation: PODxt-processed sound is sent
to your computer via Record Send 1-2 so it can be recorded in your audio software. PODxt gets
its input from the guitar plugged into its INPUT jack, and you can listen to PODxt-processed
guitar sound as well as sound coming from your computer via PODxt’s LEFT OUTPUT, RIGHT
OUTPUT and PHONES jacks.
Send Clean Guitar
• - This mode sends unprocessed guitar to your to Record Send 1-2, while you
listen to PODxt-processed guitar and software playback coming out of your PODxt. You can use
this to record an unprocessed guitar signal in your audio software for later re-amping, while hearing
your PODxt-processed guitar signal without latency being added by your recording program. You
can then choose USB Signal Routing modes 3 and 4 when you’re ready to playback that track
and re-amp it through your PODxt. You may also want to record a copy of your PODxt-processed
sound from the analog outputs of your PODxt when you are making your digital recording of the
clean guitar, so you have the processed version for reference when re-amping. This track is also
handy for punch-ins, since you can listen to it during punch-ins to hear the processed version of
the part of the previously recorded track that you want to keep.
Send Clean Guitar Re-Amp Playback
• - This mode sends un-processed guitar to your recording
software, feeds the signal from your computer into PODxt’s processing, and lets you hear the
PODxt-processed computer sound at PODxt’s outputs. You can use this to run an unprocessed
guitar track that you recorded using USB Signal Routing mode 2 into your PODxt for re-amping,
