In this mode, Line 6’s exclusive A.I.R. II DSP is active, and you are treated to a virtual speaker-cabinet-air-microphone experience that’s so good, you may never use a regular guitar amplifier and microphone setup again.
When you plug your headphones into POD® XT Live, DEST will be automatically set to STUDIO DIRECT, giving you the best tone for private jamming.
On Stage
When you’re playing on stage with PODXT Live, you’ve got a choice of setup modes. You can plug your PODXT Live in between your guitar and guitar amplifier so PODXT Live acts as the ultimate tone shaping, effects modeling pedalboard.
You can plug straight out of PODXT Live’s outputs into the house system for awesome amp and effect tone without the hassle of mics and cabinets.
Or you can choose to run PODXT Live into a power amp and speaker cabinets (or into your amp’s FX return), using it as the ultimate preamp. Whichever setup you choose, PODXT Live can dial you in like a pro. Here’s how…
What are you connecting to?
You can supply your PODXT Live with the below answers to this question, thereby ensuring that your friend on the floor gives you the best possible tones.
STUDIO DIRECT - When plugging PODXT Live straight into a P.A., or using in-ear monitoring systems, STUDIO DIRECT gives you amazing amp and effect tone, night after night. Line 6 exclusive A.I.R. II processing serves up a virtual speaker-cabinet-air-microphone experience so good you may never use a regular guitar amplifier and microphone on stage again. You’re as powerful as the entire P.A.—and guaranteed to be in the mix!
2X12 FRONT, 2X12 PWRAMP, 4X12 FRONT & 4X12 PWRAMP - Choose one of these modes when you’re plugging your PODXT Live into another guitar amp, or a power amp and guitar speakers. When you’re running Amp Modeling in your PODXT Live with one of these modes activated, the Mic and Room components of A.I.R. II are turned off, and the Cabinet Models are revoiced to sound their best coming through the kind of speaker you choose. The “Pwramp” variations should be used when you’re running straight into a power amp driving speakers, or running into the effect return of an amp so that its own preamp is bypassed and you’re getting your PODXT Live’s signal right to the power amp section. Choose a “Front” variation when you’re plugging into the front of a combo amp or head, which will also run you through that amp’s preamp section. The two “Front” modes also give you Tone Correction controls.
What is Tone Correction?
The idea of these Tone Correction controls is to adjust PODXT Live ’s overall sound to compensate for the tonal response of the preamp section of the amp that you’re plugging into. We’ve found that it is often necessary to reduce the low frequency or high frequency contents of the PODXT Live to get the best results in this sort of a configuration, or shift the focus of the mid frequencies, so that’s what these controls are set to do.

BOSE PS1 - Choose this when plugging into a Bose® PS1 Cylindrical Radiator™ loudspeaker system. We specially tuned this mode for great sound from the innovative new sound system that you can learn more about from www.bose.com.
