Since the introduction of the original POD® in 1998, Line 6 has been a staple in professional recording studios worldwide. POD® XT Pro embraces that award-winning heritage to give you ultimate tone for guitar.

Extended information

You get amp models fueled by the latest generation modeling technology for uncompromised detail, along with over 60 stompbox and studio effects, 24 cab models, 4 mic models, 128 user/factory presets, and much, much more. The award-winning PODXT Pro has become an industry standard for one reason: Your guitar parts will sound better than ever.

Effects:
With the effects built into POD® XT Pro, you have seemingly unlimited ways to customize your sound. There are over 60 models in all that cover everything from vintage stompboxes, modern rack-mounted studio gear, old school tape delays and more. And with the flexible routing options, you can run up to 6 of these models simultaneously. It’s time to blow away even the most jaded guitarists and producers. And let’s face it, they’re all jaded.

Last but not least, you also get a built-in chromatic tuner that offers precision tuning at the touch of a button. The tuner features Audio Mute and Bypass options with an adjustable tuning reference and hands-free operation when used with the FBV™ series foot controllers.

Amps:
When the time comes to create your music, you want as many options as possible. Not just to fit a specific song that you’re working on, but to keep you inspired as well. With POD® XT Pro, you get access to all the amp and cab models you need for any recording or live situation. 42 models of rare vintage amps, modern high gain monsters, and even tube preamps are built right in; easily accessible and ready to make history. But it doesn’t stop there.

You get 24 models of the most historic speaker cabinets ever built to mix and match at will. Pair any amp with any cab to get your own unique sonic blend. PODXT Pro also features the latest-generation A.I.R.™ II cab/microphone modeling which allows you to choose from 4 different mic models and adjust the mic position, room ambience, and more. Total sonic gratification? You bet.

Ins/Outs:
POD® XT Pro has some of the most advanced analog and digital routing options ever put in two-spaces. If you remember the days of moving an 18-space rack with gear that always broke, hummed like a lawnmower, and cost more than your car, PODXT Pro will seem like a dream sent down by the tone gods. Our 24-bit converters create a killer tone, delivered through +4dBu balanced XLR or -10dBV unbalanced 1/4-inch connectors. Or go digital with PODXT Pro’s AES/EBU, S/PDIF, or USB digital audio ins and outs for the most incredible tone available. MIDI lets you automate every move and our optional FBV generation foot controllers let you do it all with your feet. PODXT Pro also comes with a high-power headphone output for silent jamming.

Re-Amping
Using the ANALOG REAMPING INPUT/OUTPUT connections, you can send a dry unprocessed guitar signal to your recording device and send it right back into the PODXT Pro. Why is this so cool? Well, now you can go back at any time and change the entire sound of the track you recorded. How many times have you recorded a track where you wanted to just pull back the drive on a stompbox, or add a little more compression? Now you can! If you're really into experimenting with sounds, try sending other tracks like vocals, keys, or drum tracks through the Line Level Input jack! If you're really sneaky, you can also do this digitally with the AES/EBU, or S/PDIF connections.

Effects Loop
Even though PODXT Pro has more stompbox and studio effects than you can shake a stick at, we've decided to give you some extra rope and thrown in a programmable effects loop. Now you can run your old rackmount effects processors in series or parallel.

Unbalanced Analog Out
These 1/4-inch outputs can be run in Studio or Live mode. In Studio mode, they're ready to plug into a recorder with unbalanced -10dBV inputs. In Live mode, they don't have speaker simulation, and are ready for connection to an onstage amp.

Balanced Analog Out
These balanced XLR outputs can be run in Studio or Live mode. In Studio mode, they're ready to plug into a recorder with balanced +4dBu inputs. In Live mode, they send
-10dBV signals to the P.A. or house system.
AES/EBU & S/PDIF Inputs and Outputs
These jacks can send and receive digital audio signals in any combination of 16, 20, or 24-bits with 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96KHz sampling rates. PODXT Pro uses its internal clock to generate the sample rate you choose, or you can sync to the signal you send it from your digital system.

USB Port
PODXT Pro's USB driver software allows direct digital recording to your Mac® or PC, plus the ability to play back audio from your computer like a soundcard. Also supports MIDI over USB.

MIDI
PODXT Pro lets you control everything via MIDI. You can select any PODXT Pro Channel, automate any parameter, and backup your PODXT Pro memory to your computer.

Pedal
Our FBV™ and FBV Shortboard™ allow you to select different patches, tap in your effect speeds/times/tempos, and kick in the tuner. Plus, both foot controllers give you a Volume and Wah pedal. This same jack also sends power to the FBV and FBV Shortboard. There's also the smaller FBV Express™, FBV4™ and FBV2™ controllers if you want to travel light.

Tone crafting:
While the presets, many of which are song based, are a great place to start looking for a great tone, sometimes you just want to roll your own. Critical tone controls are available as knobs on the main panel, but POD® XT Pro also offers an intuitive, incredibly easy to use screen display for deep patch editing, where any tone shaping parameter is easily accessed and changed to generate your own signature sound.

Above the PODXT display you'll find 5 on/off buttons where you can instantaneously defeat or enable effects. Double pressing each button allows you to edit the effects settings. Single pressing seamlessly switches the effect on or off.

Comp (Gate)
This button accesses our model* of a highly sought-after LA-2A® COMPRESSOR, as well as a lightning-fast NOISE GATE. You'll find a fully-adjustable threshold for each, as well as a completely variable decay time for the gate.

Stomp
This is where PODXT Pro's STOMPBOXES and vintage distortion models live. There are 10 classic stompboxes ranging from light overdrives, heavy distortions, and psychedelic 60's fuzzes. Choosing any one gives you complete control over the Drive, Gain and Tone knobs.

Mod
PODXT Pro comes with all the classic flavors of MODULATION like Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Rotary and Vibe. Chorus like Andy, flange like Eddie, vibe like Jimi... it's all there.

Delay
PODXT Pro has faithful models of everything from vintage tape echoes to modern marvels like tap-tempo stereo ping-pongs. You can adjust the delay time in milliseconds or by any note value you choose. Just like the original POD®, you can easily TAP in a song's tempo, and now you also have tap tempo control over modulation speeds. Imagine changing the speed of your tremolo along with your delay time right from the front panel - or via your foot using the optional FBV Shortboard™.

Cab/AIR
To top it off you can mix and match speaker cabinets, microphones (and even mic placement!) in the CABINET section. PODXT Pro's next generation speaker cabinet models include all the historic speaker types you've come to know and love. You'll swear you're hearing the paint rattle off the studio walls thanks to Line 6's all new A.I.R.™ II technology.

Reverb
PODXT Pro gives you a full-time reverb knob just like your old standby. But in addition to the authentic spring tanks, you now have everything from vintage Plate reverbs to cavernous Halls.
