Members EzzO))) Posted June 14, 2007 Members Share Posted June 14, 2007 I was wondering if it would be possible run a pair of powered monitors off the outputs of the line 6 pod xt? I'll be grabbing one pretty soon and I know I can run the monitors off my digital 8 track with POD XT acting as pre-amp or an external effects unit. But can I by pass the recorder and hook monitors straight into the pod for bedroom practicing purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DanJep Posted June 14, 2007 Members Share Posted June 14, 2007 You sure can bypass the 8 track. I run my XT Live into a mackie powered speaker all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are, I'm sure it will work but they should have a flat response-meaning I don't it will sound very good for playing guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run my XTL though some KRK monitors and it sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmk Posted June 14, 2007 Members Share Posted June 14, 2007 xt's sound great through monitors and record very well in general in my experience. its getting them the sound good live through an amp that takes a bit more time and patience.

Members EzzO))) Posted June 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 I've heard they aren't the best for running as an effects unit in front of an amp live. I want to use mainly as pre-amp for recording guitar into my tascam DP01. I was using the line out on my Vox AD30VT but the clean leaves something to be desired and a few of the effects are pretty useless. Also I rented PXT a few months ago and some and it reacted very well to some old synths I have. I just wasn't sure if the line outs on the PXT would be compatible with powered studio monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
