POD X3 Pro is the powerful Dual Tone processor that comes fully loaded with amp and effect models for recording guitar, bass and vocals. In addition, a comprehensive array of inputs and outputs provide seamless integration into professional recording and performance rigs.
Like all members of the POD® X3 family, POD X3 Pro offers powerful Dual Tone modeling and routing options. Split your single-input guitar or bass signal through two different amp and effect chains simultaneously to create gorgeous new hybrids, or use its dual inputs to individually process two instruments—a microphone and a guitar, for example—at the same time.
Computer-based studios will want to exploit the USB 2.0 connectivity provided by POD X3 Pro for multi-channel recording as well as its S/PDIF or AES/EBU Stereo Digital Audio I/O for sending a direct digital signal to their DAWs. For additional recording and processing flexibility, POD X3 Pro also includes software plug-in functionality for integration with DAW recording applications.
The comprehensive analog and digital inputs make POD X3 Pro perfect for a wide range of recording and performance scenarios. It features:
- Dual 1/4" instrument inputs
- Dual XLR microphone inputs (with phantom power, trim controls and low-cut filters)
- Stereo 1/4" line inputs
- S/PDIF digital input
- AES/EBU digital input
- Variax® Digital Interface (VDI)
POD X3 Pro also supports a comprehensive set of outputs for delivering processed bass, guitar and vocals to recording and performance rigs. Output choices include:
- Stereo unbalanced 1/4" outputs
- Stereo balanced XLR (mic or line level)
- Multi-channel USB 2.0
- S/PDIF digital output
- AES/EBU digital output
Whether you’re recording in the studio or performing live, POD X3 Pro delivers the flexibility, connections and timeless tones that have made POD® the global standard for the discerning guitarist.
