Hardware Monitor Level:

This  slider  independently  controls  the  volume  of  your 

processed Source Input 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. 

Your DAW software 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 Hardware Monitor slider to minimum to allow you to 
hear only the DAW software monitoring signal.

Record Send Level:

This slider independently controls the level of the POD signal 

fed to your computer via the Record Send. This directly affects the signal level that is 

recorded into your DAW tracks. Note that you can also check the +18dB checkbox here 

if you need to boost the signal fed to your DAW.
