=== Simple method (no real amp) ===
This is the simplest connection method if you are not using a real amp as a possible pre-amp. Then you ''You just hook an unbalanced 1/4" cable from your guitar to guitar in on the Pod.''
If possible, use SPDIF or USB for a digital connection, which will produce the highest quality signal. But if this route produces sync or latency issues, use XLR outputs if your external device supports XLR. Otherwise use unbalanced 1/4" cable(s).
You can run all your external effects before the Pod or in its effects loop, depending on which effects you are using (see [[#Effects Order/Position|the effects order section]]). You can also run them from the unbalanced (or XLR if available on the effect) output(s). See [[#The Effects (FX) Loop|the effects loop section ]] for advantages/disadvantages to using the loop.
