  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Getting Started

  (Originally written by Gam/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  - Did you have any problems during the installation?
  
  
  
  No problems.
  
  
  
  I use the VST Platinium version for my Pod X3 Live.
  
  
  
  It's totally free!!! Thank you Line 6.
  
  
  
  A small con for Pod X3 owners is that it's not compatible as standalone.
  
  
  
  I hope Line 6 makes it compatible so that we don't have to use Gearbox.
  
  
  
  Authorization via Monkey. Ultra easy!
  
  
  
  What about the user's manual? No need for user's manual, the VST is very intuitive.

  Suitability/Performance

  - What's your computer setup? (motherboard/CPU/RAM/HDD/sound card..)
  
  
  
  Athlon 2400 XP with 1 GB Ram. I connect the S/PDIF output of my Pod X3 Live to my M-Audio 2496 sound card.
  
  
  
  - How is the performance? (if measurable)
  
  
  
  It doesn't require too much CPU power as Guitar Rig 3. I can use two instances without a problem. But in DualTone mode it requires much more computer resource.
  
  
  
  - What about the hardware+software configuration stability?
  
  
  
  I use it with Reaper. No crashes, perfect stability.

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you been using it?
  
  
  
  About three weeks.
  
  
  
  - Which feature do you like the most / the least?
  
  
  
  The most:
  
  
  
  User interface. But not as good as the old Line 6 Edit, which provided instant access to all parameters.
  
  
  
  The GUI looks nice. I don't like the MacOS X-like cover flow.
  
  
  
  The drop-down menus are very useful.
  
  
  
  Pleasant to use. I like the different categories (much clearer than the POD).
  
  
  
  The least:
  
  
  
  No Midi implementation. It's a big disadvantage for an amp and pedalboard software. Due to that many effects are useless (wah-wah, bender, etc.).
  
  
  
  The effect chain is virtually non-editable. Competitor products are much better at that!
  
  
  
  It was conceived for reamping.
  
  
  
  IMHO it's a really dumb idea to reproduce Line 6's hardware limitations in a VST plugin. We want more possibilities!
  
  
  
  - Did you try any other models before buying it?
  
  
  
  Yes, many others but I never found a better sound.
  
  
  
  - How would you rate its value for money?
  
  
  
  Free for X3 owners. The value for money could be better.
  
  
  
  - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
  
  
  
  Of course. I find it sounds excellent, better than any other VST on the market.
  
  
  
  Similar products never convinced me.
  
  
  
  But I find the X3 Live sounds much better. The sound is more accurate. It must be due to the dedicated DSP.

  Suitability/Performance

  Asus laptop intel iCORE 3 very stable

  Overall Opinion

  I use it recently, with a tone port UX2 first generation (red) I use Gear Box.
  
  Interface Pod Farm is a very successful compared Gear box. So it sounds better! yes I know stupid c aside when working with a friendly interface you start to play better! lol.
  
  Pros: The dual mode which gives new possibilities. really nicer interface, presets.
  
  Cons: Where are the different models of speakers?? The selection and placement of the microphone?? domage would have been almost perfect.
  
  I also recently Vox ToneLab st. Very good product I prefer to crunch sounds.
  
  The value for money is very good since line6 free with a card.
  
  I do not regret my UX2 interface very good product "entry level" is really what a good start.

  Getting Started

  Installation is no problem it?
  
  Some problem, yes, Rsolu dplugant in my TonePort and limiting the installation of the drivers of my TonePort
  
  Gnrale configuration is easy?
  
  Not empty at first but got used to it
  
  
  
  The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
  
  Huh ???!!! There's a manual?

  Suitability/Performance

  What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
  
  2x2.33 Dual Core, sound card for motherboard + Toneport UX2 Line 6.
  
  
  
  The software works he correctly on this configuration?
  
  Yes, once the path difficult to pass the installation worked.

  Overall Opinion

  How long have you use it?
  
  A few days
  
  
  
  What is the particular feature you like best and least?
  
  What I like most is the
  
  - Double config that allows two channels to work upon.
  
  - A more parmtrage end of the config from Gearbox
  
  What I like least is the lack of mtronome (rhythm box or wav). On this one the Line 6 has totally hit the evening because it extremment prjudiciable for me who has recorded loops and therefore need to be exactly in the tempo.
  
  Other minority bp, there are often incomplete because some effects presets are incompatible with my UX2
  
  How do you report qualitprix?
  
  I am a user of a Line 6 (Tone Port UX2) so it did not cost a penny but given the mtronome problem, I would hurl if I ever paybr />
  
  Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
  
  ICAR c'tait or free but I will use RPET in the pod farm but I would return to the enegistrement Gearbox. I will use pod farm if I had to run a rhythm box to be synchronized in parallel

  Getting Started

  The installation is more than simple, just click! bp no compatibility and no worries for those of comprhension possdent dja tonport a UX2

  Suitability/Performance

  My config is simple, direct tonport UX2 in my PC intel Pentium 4. no latency issues (Just set the buffer in case)

  Overall Opinion

  I use my tonport since about 1 year with gearbox. podfarm I discovered recently and frankly, I am very happy and surprised sounds on offer. there is an amount sufficient consquente of his group or scratch already registered and frankly, I found a rather well made. Of course we must retoucherles presets to give a little warmth to the sound but it is done very easily and quickly. For me, it suits me well for what I did.
  
  por the home studio, I do it again this choice without any problem and advise fFor even those who do not like me too much Myen to invest in pro gear.

  Virtual Decadence's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Getting Started

  It's always the same system for online purchases of add-ons pack software at Line 6. We do everything by Line 6 Monkey.
  
  
  
  No major problems on Mac OS X is more on my old Powerbook G4.

  Suitability/Performance

  My config is the Toneport UX2 for several years so no compatibility issues since it's the same thing.
  
  AU plugin mode, no problem at the moment in my software of choice (Logic Pro 7 for now).

  Overall Opinion

  This software adds one thing to Gearbox Software (standalone or plugin): Dual tone that is the ability to have two rigs simultaneously.
  
  
  
  And when we try some presets, one wonders why Line 6 had not done before so some sounds take on a new dimension.
  
  
  
  Owner of standalone Gearbox for my Toneport, I picked up the portfolio to go to Pod Farm Plugin (it seems that Pod Farm standalone is free for people who have a Toneport). I should have done this a long time to have all my sounds preamps, bass, guitar in non-destructive in Logic. By this I do not regret my purchase.
  
  
  
  Note though that the new graphical interface with its method "Cover Flow" to navigate the stuff is beautiful and changes a little.
  
  Preset management has improved weight: you can see the amp model presets in the browser.
  
  
  
  Otherwise, the sounds are exactly the same as for Gearbox, ie from the POD XT.
  
  The versin POD Farm Platinum provides access to) all line extensions of 6 packs.
  
  I had my pack pack bass and FX are also available in POD Farm as well as in Gearbox.
  
  
  
  In conclusion: a new interface and a dual tone mode. For the rest there is always the same as in Gearbox (without GP online on the other hand).
