All user reviews of 3/5 for the Line 6 POD XT Live

Everybody knows now what amp simulator / multi-purpose. It's digital of course.

UTILIZATION

Level use, the apps provided by Line 6 are used to tweak and damn quickly. In addition there is a sound bank online that allow you to quickly find what the are looking for.
Hacking on the pod-even with the small screen is more of masochism that something else on the other hand ... The manual is well done Line 6 even if the humor is quite confusing ...

SOUND QUALITY

J pod I use this with almost all of my instruments:
- Ibanez Sabre 97
- Gibson Les Paul Studio
- G. Lynch Signature LTD baritone
- F50-E LTD

For guitars, I have been quite satisfied but I have not found No particular nuances.
My preferred use at home and the only one that I regret:
my LP branch above, the POD uses preamp. My friend had hers as well. The two PODs were returning on a power-amp Marshall 8008 stereo cab and a Harley Benton G212V. The c was great. The nature of the power-amp though justice was well transparent to the pod and c was very convenient.
8 So for the home. 4 live. J will return later.

What I hated:
- Too much sound. In the end I lost myself in the settings and I never finding her. But I have no doubt that it is possible.
- Why call this POD LIVE? Because it is formatted pedals? Can not make it sound by repeating. Bury me in my other guitar that he played on his full-lamp Bugera V22.

OVERALL OPINION

I use only a few months. The advantage is that c I have had for next to nothing on ebay and so I have not lost a No resale.
I was looking for a pedal of this style, very convenient to connect the table to mix and repeating with the bare minimum. I came back ...
Finally, YES c is practical and it helps out well for the registration or the headphone lead to s c, but is unusable for the stage, especially if the other guitarist has an amp lampe.Avec hindsight j would prefer to see the traditional format pocket pod. For home use, it takes less space for the same.
Since I am going on a lamp and a 333 BUGERA 18 tubemeister H & K. Suffice to say that I do not regret at all m be separated from my POD ...

Everything has been said otherwise see line 6 Site

UTILIZATION

Super easy to use: can be understood in 10 minutes
According to its own sosna it takes time but normal peauffiner are found amp models acceptable and buttons to turn it more intuitive than the menus in menus

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with uen epiphone nighthawk taka two and frankly I'm amazed by the sound repeats the sound (I would miss more than a little back now) like home (or headphone monitoring)

OVERALL OPINION

Just a little rant, but not serious to say that after only 2 weeks of use (not heavy) pedal wah / volume started to squeak loudly ... So I have some balls for proceeds paid that price. In addition to access (said pedal) is far from being easy ... result return warranty (fortunately I have not bought used)

Otherwise this product is wonderful and I seem to be the only person it happened .. Stroke of bad luck ...
Too bad it will be in great shape, but before long the repair time can be long ... (10 days in advance)

During this time I am forced to play on repeat in marchmall Valvestate 80 (opposite Böögg a shame)

That it did not seem to be fake but that's it slammed me in the foot like that .. masi happen when it is so it is the rage (especially since I had DL the pack: too deadly by the way)

See other opinions.

UTILIZATION

Normal use for a multi purpose. To hack a computer is easy.

SOUND QUALITY

This is where the bottom hurts! At first glance, it's great, moving from one amp to another, we add the effects, we have all the amps with all the possible effects. And then after a while, you have to play the sound and there is "stiff", it lacks warmth. Equalization does nothing, because the fault lies with converters. I tested (A / B test) with a pod2. I just put both devices on the preset "tube preamp" all settings and at noon with no effect. And although the two do not sound the same. The pod2 better. The attack of the sound is a little soft (not light at all, do not ask). I played with the pod XT for 1 year. This is useful for the stage, but the sound, the feeling is not there. Nothing to do with analog.

OVERALL OPINION

A view based on the music we make:
1) To the ball, it is convenient.
2) To move in a flash of his Steve Vai to his Wes Montgomery, it's great!
3) To make music, have a staff, a feeling that can progress: Here it means (I did not say "bad"), we train a bit!!

So everyone to see.

I bought my POD XT Live two years ago VOX tone wavering between the lab and the là.J 'had read an article in a magazine touting the big sounds of the POD XT Live so I ended up choosing this one.

UTILIZATION

Use side there is nothing to say.
Everything is editable via PC and line6 edit.
User presets can be downloaded on line 6 custom tone.
It can be used as RTAS VSTi plugin with Gear box.
There are small programs like fun riff work that can record riffs on PC, Instant Drummer to play with grooves and there are many downloadable pack add.
It can be used for bass pod if you download the add on.
The updates are regular and the line 6 site pretty much done.
The manual is clear, echo the overall characteristics of all effects and shows photos of original models simulated by the POD.
The ergonomics are well suited to the stage.
I deplore the fact that it still is not "loopable" so that the series ...

SOUND QUALITY

Good fishing is where it just see a lot.
The effects are cool and synthetic and distort the features of the guitar.
I used the POD in the studio using pro tools and live and in both cases I gave up the idea of ​​having a clean and warm even the user presets downloadable Line 6 Edit (and god knows how many j 've tried) I have never satisfaits.Le worse in my opinion and the delays that are very easily customizable.
The setting of the gains is very sharp indeed it is saturated or super skinny and the guitar volume knob has no effect unlike a tube amp the signal is processed in the same way regardless of their level of entry.
I have a Maxon OD 9 at home and the sound is ten miles instead of the simulation of the TS 808
In short I have not like yet I have put good will.

OVERALL OPINION

My opinion is that the guitar to start with a small group and play for friends in a garage and is super.L ergonomics is quite good but I would have preferred a FBV shortboard as the same day his constructeur.Coté 'I was very disappointed but the sounds and colors ...
In conclusion if you want the "sound" to the home studio, professional recording oubliez.Si you have a very good amp like marshall or mesa boogie all-tube forget it also greatly distorts the sound.
With the experience I said that I was fifteen years as a fool, now I have become more demanding and I do not have that choice would do that. I would take more than a TC electronics G Major in the same price range.

The edition of the effects is feasible, but much more simple and comfortable on gearbox

I have not needed normment of the manual, the more silent in English, except one or two orders is explained clearly enough

SOUND QUALITY

There are good effects trs, as worse. I expected nothing, this is my first and I am not at all, There are super clear, super distortion, wha also good to rev it trs live a full and sound, it sounds!

I use it with a guitar, an old yam 'low-end customizes

There are good effects trs has taken over! may need to do a sort, as some are useless.

Edict of 22/11/09:

I just acqurir a fender super-sonic, and, there's no photo.
I can put my pod xt live, cold and without personality, in fact I sold it. Looking back, I find no depth effects, and not really convincing, the distos are bad (ahhh the crunch of the whole lamp ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 weeks

I like the sound, the simplicity, versatility, it allows me to evolve everywhere and in any situation. And the USB connection is gniale, I use the card for computer music and password impec ca '!

I have this essay that

The report price is trs good quality, bought nine 375euro, it allows a wide range trs with the effects of quality multi-effects for my first and I am fully satisfied!

I would do this choice rather than 2 times!

<strong>Edict of 22/11/09:

Ideal for beginners, if you do not really know which direction to take.
I have chosen mine, a pure class A lamp and a lil rack of pedals to give me my sound ...</strong>
