FX Loop (POD X3 Live & Pro only) •
Click on the top portion of the icon

Click on the lower portion of the
icon to toggle the Loop on/off
With a POD X3 Live or Pro device in use, you’ll see options available for configuring the FX Loop
settings (the equivalent of the controls found on the POD X3 Live/Pro’s “FX Loop” edit screen). The
FX Loop provides a mono send and stereo return, which are able to be used with stomp boxes or line
level devices. Different hardware effects can require different input levels, or can change the signal
level before it comes back into the Return jack, so you can use the Send & Return level controls here
to keep the levels consistent. Toggle the Loop Pre or Post to be placed before or after the Amp in the
signal chain, and adjust the Mix to blend the Effects Loop signal in with your Tone 1 signal. Note that
these Effects Loop settings are saved with each Tone Preset.
11 - Studio/Direct Mix/Send 1-2 controls: The Studio/Direct Mix features of POD X3’s second
OUTPUTS screen are presented here for easy access in GearBox, as well as controls for adjusting
your hardware Monitoring level. The POD X3 headphone and Send 1-2 outputs are always fed the
“Studio/Direct Mix” - note this means that as you Pan or Mute Tone 1 or 2 , this also affects what is
getting recorded in the Left/Right channels in your recording software. For POD X3 Live & Pro, this
Studio/Direct Mix is also fed to its XLR Direct Outs. The 1/4-inch outputs can get this mix, too, when
desired (see the next section on the 1/4-inch output options)
Pan Tone 2 independently Left
or Right
Mute/Un-Mute Tone 2
(Un-Muted)
Pan Tone 1 independently Left
or Right
Mute/Un-Mute Tone 1
(Un-Muted)
Set the Monitor level
Note - The POD X3 hardware’s Amp/Bass Amp/Preamp Volume & Drive knobs and the Tone 1-2
Vol Trim knob will affect the level of the Studio/Direct Mix signal that is fed to Record Send 1-2,
so you can use these to adjust the levels that feed into your audio recording software. Some effects
(Comp, Distortion, Fuzz, etc.) can also affect the Tone levels, and thus your Record Send levels. You
can use the Monitor knob to balance the signal you are hearing (see below).
Pan L-R sliders • - Allow you to independently pan each Tone left or right within the stereo field
of the Studio/Direct Mix.
Tone 1 and Tone 2 buttons
