My friend gave my this old, but never used device so I just wanted try it.  I have some problems with using it with my speakers but I have Catalyst. I know there should be a way to connect POD to it but i don't know how. 
I to do everything from this video: 

  and it doesn't work with Catalyst or I am doing something wrong. I was even so stupid that I tried to connect POD to Cat through Aux in but all I achieved was mess with my presets stored in Amp(only delay settings changed, don't know ) luckily I didn't broke anything. I tried also to connect Pod to guitar input as in the video but that is not working too. Any ideas? It is an old device, but it is a gift so I really would like to try it :)

Did you DL and install the Drivers?

 

Even then you'll likely have a problem in that the GX has an INSTRUMENT level Input and the Cat has a MIC level Output.

 

Bottom line, it's an Audio Interface, and the Cat has a (newer, probably better) AI built in. The GX is totally unnecessary with the Cat.

Yes, I did install Pod Farm and all the drivers and I think I did it correctly. POD works with my headphones(but I don't like the sound) but for some reason not with my computer speakers.
The main reason i wanted to use POD with Cat beside compering the sound is that POD Farm has much larger custometone base than Catalist including sounds of bands and artists I am interested in like David Gilmour for example. I wanted to see and hear them and than try to recreate them on Cat if they were good

Pod Farm is a PLUGIN. You install it on a track in your DAW.

The ASIO Device in the DAW is both INPUT and OUTPUT.

You plug your guitar into the GX. You configure the DAW to use the GX as the ASIO Device.

You take the Output from the GX into the AUX on the CAT.

 

OR

 

Configure the DAW to use the Catalyst as ASIO Device.

Set Track 1 to USB 1 (Cat Processed).

Set Track 2 to USB 3 (Cat DIRECT).

Now if you put Pod Farm on Track 2 you can compare all the sounds from Pod Farm (Track 2) to all the sounds from the Cat (Track 1).
