How to Connect POD Farm With a USB Audio Interface

You can use the Line 6 Pod Farm to emulate the sound of almost any guitar amp/cabinet/effect combination you can dream up. If you wish, you can use it as a highly portable effects rack, hooking it up to an amp and playing a guitar through it live. Where this piece of gear shines brightest, however, is right in the comfort of your home studio. Connect it directly to your computer or digital audio workstation, dial up some settings, and your guitar is pretty much ready to record.
