II cabinet/microphone modeling, stereo effects loop, balanced XLR outs for the studio, unbalanced 1/4" outs for live applications, TRS line in and unprocessed guitar output, AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital ins and outs, and USB.
How is PODXT Pro different from PODXT?
POD XT Pro is a 2U rack mounted version of the kidney shaped POD XT. The PODxt Pro has a built in power supply and more In/Out capability than the PODxt. These expanded options include AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs, TRS Line input, TRS Unprocessed Guitar output, XLR outputs for studio/mixing board, 1/4'' outputs for live use, a Stereo effects loop, and USB capability.
How is PODXT Pro different from POD Pro?
In addition to 32 new groundbreaking amp models and 22 cabinet models built from the award-winning technology found in our flagship Vetta amplifier, POD XT Pro delivers 6 simultaneous effects (choose from more than 45 classic models of stompbox and studio effects) that can be flexibly routed to meet your unique sonic needs. In addition, POD XT Pro offers USB support for Digital Audio In & Out, an intuitive screen display for deep patch editing, and Flash memory that allows for easy upgrades so you can always incorporate the latest innovations from Line 6 as they become available. Different from the original version, POD XT Pro has AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital inputs, selectable digital output resolution of up to 24 bit / 96 KHz, a USB connector for more digital audio and MIDI features and POD XT Pro is also compatible with GuitarPort software. The effects loops on/off state is storable per-patch and controllable remotely as well as being switchable between series/parallel.

What does the USB port do?
POD XT Pro driver software allows direct digital recording of POD XT Pro to your Mac or PC via the USB connection, plus the ability to use POD XT Pro to play back audio from your computer like a soundcard. The latest drivers are available for download from Line6.
Compatible Foot Controllers
Both the FBV and FBV Shortboard are compatible with POD XT Pro. The FBV Shortboard gives basic control and the FBV adds more control over stompboxes and effects, as well as dedicated wah and volume pedals.
Live PODXT Pro Use
The PODxt Pro features a "live mode" that gives you the best of both worlds when playing live. Just use the XLR outputs to feed the sound board for pristine board-ready tone and simultaneously use the 1/4" outputs, which are optimized for your onstage amp & cabs.

I have been using the Pod XT Pro in the recording arena and I am very, very happy with it. I haven’t explored the full capabilities of digital I.O. etc. (which is really what the Pro version gives you over other Pod units) but in general operation the thing performs fantastically. I tend to favour tight high-gain sounds and the Pod XT Pro delivers these in spades. If you use the free Line6 software (e.g. Line6 Edit) creating, editing and saving patches is a doddle and the software gives you an all-in-one view of the tone creation process.
If there is a negative it is common to many a piece rack-mounted music hardware; the small illuminated display on the unit itself, although entirely usable, doesn’t provide you with the big picture and tone creation can be a bit fiddly if you resort to that mode of operation. I have also found that the display can be a little hard to see in strong daylight especially if you look at it from an angle.
Probably the biggest plus to me is the fact that the unit is so quiet when not in operation. I have recorded live amps or recorded direct with other preamps (e.g. the Marshall JMP-1) and all such units hum or hiss to keep themselves company when not in active use especially when high gain settings have been dialled in. The Pod XT Pro doesn’t suffer from this affliction being blissfully silent.
I have also purchased the add-on packs from Line 6. Purchase, download and installation was simple and I now have more TONE than you can shake a stick at.
Overall I am very impressed and pleased with unit. Highly recommended.
When Muse hit the top of the charts in 14 different countries, with their latest album 'The Resistance' they confirmed their position as one of the biggest acts in the world. And, naturally, Matt Bellamy is one of the most admired guitarists of his generation. Let's have a look at his FX Pedals and other gear!

The search for the perfect electric guitar sound never ends for most musicians. Unlike the piano and drums that can generate sound naturally, a guitar player is blessed AND cursed that electricity is the main ingredient to achieving any tone at all.
With the advent of computer-based recording, studio-quality sound and 24 track recordings are now a reality for anyone with a computer. While software samplers have made it easy to get real sounding piano, string, drum, and synth sounds, the unpredictable voodoo of recording juicy guitar tone was still unattainable without great pains. In 1998, Line 6 released a kidney bean shaped desktop device that changed the world for recording guitarists: POD®.
The affordable Line 6 TonePort UX2 is a firm favorite amongst our customers and the readers of prestigious Guitar Player magazine, who've just awarded it with the "Best Home-Recording 2007" accolade. We say - we are not surprised...
Line 6 Finally Give us the POD Engine in Software Form! Dolphin cannot believe that Line 6 have released thier amazing POD engine in Plug-in form for us to create whatever tone we want on our computer!
