available for Tone 2.
Analog Input Restriction: POD X3 Pro does not allow simultaneous input from more than one analog
input per Channel Strip. For example, if Gtr 1 is selected as input for Tone 1, no combination of a
Tone 1 analog input such as Gtr 1, Mic 1, Line 1, Gtr 1+Gtr 2, Gtr 1+Variax or Gtr 1+Gtr 2+Variax
will be available for Tone 2. Digital (POD X3 Pro only) – select either S/PDIF or AES/EBU for digital

selected as an input, AES/EBU and S/PDIF will not be available. For Variax (POD X3 Live and POD
X3 Pro only) – you have two choices which you need to choose from on the POD X3 Live/Pro’s on-

LCD will display its currently selected Model and other parameters.
Disable Global Control
• – when global control is disabled, your Variax will be heard but it won’t
respond to patch changes. The lower half of the LCD will be blank.
2 - Show/Hide buttons: There are three of these little arrow buttons in the GearBox main window,
and they all function to show/hide larger display panels. It’s useful to be able to sometimes hide the
display panels individually...
Clicking the top show/hide button collapses or shows/hides both the Amp and Effects controls. •
It’s useful to collapse these controls if you want to maximize the size of only the lower Browser
panel.
The middle button shows/hides only the Effects block edit display.
•
The lower button shows/hides the Browser panel - this is the state shown in the main GearBox •
window screenshot above.
