Hardware Monitor Level:

This  slider  independently  controls  the  volume  of  your 

processed guitar tone output for monitoring (the signal fed to the device’s main outputs). 

It does not affect the level of the signal fed to your computer via the Record Send. This 

allows you to balance your guitar’s monitor level against the playback audio from your 

computer, such as when recording in DAW software. 

If using POD HD500 as the audio interface for recording into a DAW application, then 
your DAW may also offer its own “software monitoring” function. You may want to 
use the DAW’s software monitoring in some scenarios, such as if you want to hear your 
guitar signal processed with plug-ins on the DAW track. When utilizing DAW software 
monitoring, you’ll want to set this slider’s level to minimum to allow you to hear only the 
DAW software monitoring signal.
