Line 6 View website
Editable Mac / Pc I'm on mac Snow Lopard and no worries after installing the drivers available on the Line 6 website.

USE

The manual is well, it is not a Chinese head case (Lol)

As for the edition with the GearBox software is simple but live on the same x3 it's not too complicated but I did the same to open the manual to see how I had to do !!!



SOUND QUALITY

While the sound quality !!!

When I bought the beast, rentr'm home and I direct branch marshall all my lights and I say !!! IEA horror impossible to have a proper sound and m Correct me is worse than a prciser !!! I wish I did not have my head amp to send / Fx so I branch directly into the entrance e guitar so the big disappointment !!!

So I say bah it's simple, I will do as my Vox THE I'll bipasser the amp simulation and must operate nickel Ben ??? re vamp the sound is still as horrible as per simulation dales Ts, Disto, Fuzz ... it's really foutage of mouth because really sounds Synthetic and compared to LE Vox there's no pictures on this plan is clearly ahead Vox Line 6 !!!

I tell myself what do I do now ??? Well I'll sell it and stay with my Vox !!! Anyway I'm going even try on my sound card which is a 800 !!! RME Firface and then I plug I notice that it sounds great dj mieux.Mais not really convinced !!! I do some research on the net (Youtube) and I came across a guy who explains some configuration and my link via its Site or its covenants available for both Xt, X3 live, but also for the Boss Gt 10 !!!

I go to his site and therefore tlcharge the folder for the X3 live and I say hat the beast rings and'm in heaven !!! Well it is about that in terms of taste it will certainly change some parameters but it is frankly a great base for what create his own sound.

For the one has intresse I put the site link.
http://www.glenndelaune.com/Patch_download_page/PatchDownloadArea.htm

My ratings will be only 7 because of a head without send / Fx ben x3 is the big poop !!!

As of 7/7/2010:

I remade a test on my Marshall I've realized that putting all the knob to 12 h 00 except volume and working only with those of the Line 6 ben medium to obtain some thing not bad, but hey I am only at the beginning of my research.

But in terms of OD simus, distos, Fuzz ... well I stay on my position is really the big anything !!!!!

NOTICE GLOBAL

7 for the reason you know.

What are the effects or types of effects available?
==> Almost everything is available except the Whammy ...

Are they edited? Via a Mac / PC editor?
==> Yes via GearBox editor

What is the connection?
==> Anything that can exist, MIDI, Jack, XLR, ... etc ...

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
==> Do not lie through the pedal, it's not easy (no worse) ...
The ideal is to configure via the editor

The manual is clear and sufficient?
==> It is fairly complete, and especially consider printing the gallery templates to make the connection between the actual hardware and labels not always clear ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
==> As a general rule, the sounds are quite realistic, provided you know how to configure them. After a while we come to apprehend them, but the possibilities are so numerous, it takes many lifetimes to exploit ...
Purists crying foul against these multi-effects swearing only by their tube amp, but hey, when you have a limited budget, this is the best solution. In addition we must admit that on stage with a drummer, the simulation of Marshall largely filled his role ...

Which instruments do you use?
==> Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster
==> Lower active Cort GB34A
The two are still connected (on guitar and bass guitar input on the Aux input)
I have not tried for singing but it should not take long ...

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
==> Almost two years ... and intensively ...

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
==> Not really because at the time I began the electric guitar and Guitar Rig apart I do not have another gear ... As I did not want to invest in an amp and pedals and I did not want Mom upset when I play at night, pedal became naturally the solution ...

How would you rate the quality / price?
==> Very good for the price I bought it, I would not have been able to buy an amp ... and as I am Pro-Fender, as saying that I would not have even been able to buy a button volume ...

With experience, you do again this choice?
==> Without hesitation, yes ...

Everything has been said, many amps and effects, computer publisher (essential), possibility of having two independent channels simultaneously or not ...

Pedalier plastic. Hardware not reliable reliability limit (see below)

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple when you know what kind of product that we know what we want. otherwise it takes time to read the manual which is very informative and fun, with a history of each amp quite exciting ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are more or less good. Some modeling amps (JCM800, Fender) do not look anything like reality.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall quality of pretty cheap pedalboard (plastic).
I am touched by the fact that the cell volume pedal fails. This fault is recurrent (see forums) and that the pedal .... not his fate (the volume remains at zero)!
It reflects the decline in quality between POD XT and X3 (I own both).

Became unusable live: you never know if it will work or not ...

Value for money limit. AUuourd'gui if you buy is secondhand, and given the reliability of the photocell which is under the pedal, it's the lottery, you do not know when it will drop.

To avoid in my opinion.

The POD X3 is an amp sim/multi-effects pedal from Line 6. It uses all digital signal processing. Getting started is as easy as plugging in your guitar and headphones, then stepping on the foot-switches to jump between presets. The software application for the POD X3 has always given me problems. I think there are some 'bugs' in the way it downloads the presents to the foot pedal. Normally, I recommend using a software editor with a GUI. However, with the problems, I find it easier just to tweak the knobs on the pedal whenever I want to make changes.

UTILIZATION

There is a learning curve when starting out with the POD X3. There are tons and tons of options to edit the internal processing like: amp EQ, speaker models, microphones, effects pedals, parallel signal chains, etc. This requires scrolling through a lot of menus when looking at the screen on the pedal. It can take a while to figure out how to get to the right place to edit what you want. After you figure this out, this pedal is capable of a ridiculous amount of different sounds.

SOUND QUALITY

Amp simulation isn't perfect. The Line 6 X3 sounds convincing, especially if it is in the context of a full band. Still, it only gets the guitar player most of the way to the experience of playing through a real amp. To me, the best use of these kinds of effects pedals is in the studio to experiment with a ton of different sounds without having to completely change your setup. If you play live in a cover band, it might be useful to be able to switch between a lot of different sounds as well.

OVERALL OPINION

Although Line 6 has released a new line of PODs (the HD series), the POD X3 still has some useful aspects. I really the Matchless, Orange, Budda, etc. amp sims in the X3, but they are missing in the HD series. Hopefully, Line 6 updates the firmware of the HD series in the future with more amp models. Until then, the X3 has the most number of different amp simulations, well over +100. This alone should attract the true tweakheads.

not try on electric guitar.

but voice and acoustic

there is little to be less choice for acoustic
looking good but there is so little happiness that we paufine settings
I plug in my mixing table bose bose l1 tonemacht and direct model 1

phew I believe it.

I wanted clapton acoustic sound I found.
we say that the sound on the cold zt x3 live but I found nothing

therefore can be ca depent on what you plug your guitar and?

otherwise very happy and just after 3 days utilisation.donc can certainly
do better and paufiner time.

UTILIZATION

simple enough but I prefer going by the software to parameterize the gearbox pedal.
not even look at the manual.

SOUND QUALITY

yes I find quite nice

I'm not a pro but I'm not deaf

and as we know each seeks his own sound.

So for me may be not perfect but for the price this is stunning.

was good preset and effect settings for voice and guitar

some amps will vraimment well on vocals? bizare but it is good that we are trying new sound.

for me the quality of my bose l1 and quite impressive.

may not be perfect for the purist

but enough to make a high-pretation

of game.c is my opinion.

OVERALL OPINION

I regret my purchase
enough means to buy the pod hd 500 unless line 6 me the offre.lol

I use the last three days, but acts as a real 5/7 hours and dejas satisfied.
ca rest of the simulation but must admit that it can work even when
corectement a low coup.si I could buy all the stuff that you can do with this pedal ca would have a big budget and space.

in any case it does well for me in acoustic and voice even if I do not enormously choice.

so I guess not even for electric.

I'll aillor in achetrer one for laughs.

you can buy one occasion it is well above all the pedals that I "ve been trying to walk right between 80 and 200 euros.et that n is not the peculiarity of presented several pedals, effect, amp, compressor .. ...
at the same time.


in fact I do not work for line 6

but I say bravo and thank you.

What are the effects or types of effects available? almost infinite since you can load compléens (on payment) on the line 6 site

What technology is used? (Analog, digital, lamp ...) Are they editable? yes
Via an editor Mac / PC? yes via the small module gear box
What is the connection? jack or XLR outputs, usb, to pedal, ... everything is very comprehensive
Audio / MIDI) Is it a rack or rack-mount model? not

UTILIZATION

config is interesting: I bought occas allow me to play the sounds I had on line 6
However programming via the single pedal is not easy: it is better to go through the computer by usb and save its settings (much simpler)

of Camaguey this pedal is the opportunity of a given sound to add or remove the effects one by one with the switcch feet (which is not always the case)

SOUND QUALITY

I love the sounds made by line 6 ...
However, they can be a little cold in some ... it says line 6 is best known for his simuls amps that are effective

OVERALL OPINION

I personally use the pod for our live concerts and répets plugged directly into the mixer
I had a concern recently dysfunction footswitch whawha apparently I'm not the only
it seems there was a concern that side and you have to reprogram the card line 6 frankly did not help to solve this problem
this is my disappointment
by it against rugged hardware CNCU OPUR be carted
a case, however, does not hurt

What are the effects, or types of effects available?

Almost all

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?

For one who is accustomed to the pods, yes.
That said, the use of the machine is much more intuitive via the gearbox software

SOUND QUALITY

Very good

OVERALL OPINION

I am a professional guitarist.
I use a lot of configs, amp, pedalboard, etc., and among other times, the pod xt pro, with the FBV Shortboard.

I used this last config across to the variety (variety = all styles, funk, rock, pop, etc.). Both small scenes that on very large, avaec an audience ranging from 50 to 10,000 people.
I have used only "live on the sound system", thanks to the integrated DI.

I realized that the pod X3 Pro is much better, in many field, the pod xt pro + config fbv.

Why?

Firstly because it is a solution "a while", so no-brainer for the emcombrement (which was minimal but the xt pro).

Then lots of improvements:

- Being able to have two "tones" per preset (I will not go into details, but you have to walk twice as many possibilities)
- Being able to drive a Variax, and even pre-program changes microphones!
- The comp boost: before, this button was for the reverb, but let's be clear; often good enough reverb for all patches, suddenly, thanks to the boost, we can stay on the same preset, and enter by programming a solo boost on the same preset.
- The sounds of xt are, and we add to this, line6 packs that cost $ 100 more, and this, for free.
- The effects loop can be programmed for each preset, you can put it before the preamp stage, or after.
- The dual tones: I personally do not see too much interest, but ... a priori, we mix two config, ie 2 presets in a ...
- If one owns a Variax, you can use dual tones; this Parmet, for the same preset, set two sounds, one for the Variax, and one for the other guitar. Utilie eg repeat two guitars, or for teachers, etc ...
For those unfamiliar with the machine, here are some tips (Live console):

- Vox for clean and crunchy slight
- Line6 clean for clean
- Orange for slight crunch
- All marshall plexi for the crunch
- Engl saturates for rhythm or lead
- Line6 big bottom for modern solo (Lukather and others)
- Agro line6 for lead (mediums between half and bottom) ... it runs squarely on simple bridge position

for the latter, it is essential to play on console and in a mix and volume of scene; at home, it's rotten, but on stage, it is huge!

All simulated metal pack are fine but a little ressembent all.
They must be left as is for rhythm, and move it slightly to the medium for the lead.
But that said, I did some tests and tests, those that work best are those I have quoted above.

I play guitar in a garage band of 40 somethings who are trying to recreate our teenage years. Call it a mid-life crisis, or whatever, but the simple fact of the matter is finally we can afford the toys we've always wanted, and now we get to make time to play with them. Sure, men never grow up, but who cares, we're having fun.

My wife actually bought this for me as an early Christmas present recently. She wouldn't say exactly, but after looking it up I can see she paid about $500 at one of those online music gear retailers. I did want a new guitar, but when she asked me why I told her I was getting tired of the same old tones. On her own, she went and researched and decided to get me this as we, like most folks, are on somewhat of a budget this year at Christmas. What an amazing woman.

Wow, this board has it all. Effects for acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and vocals. It can process two live streams so you can hook your guitar up to it and use the vocal processor at once - amazing. It can serve as a front end to any home (or heck, even professional) recording rig, and is just as comfortable in front of my half stack. This thing has so many amp, cab, and effects models built in, i don't know what to do with them all - I know, try them! Seriously, there are like 98 amps for guitar, 24 cabs, almost 30 bass amplifiers and maybe like 20 bass cabinets. There are also 6 preamps for vocals processing! Built in! You can even run seperate lines from one guitar through two different processes and to two different amps. Talk about crazy. The unit runs USB 2.0 for interfacing with your PC and whatever your flavor-of-the-month record software is, or S/PDIF digital out if you have Pro Tools or something that can take a fully digitized signal. I also like the fact that I can take this board over to my buddies house and plug straight into his PA. Because of the various amp models, etc. it's a lot easier than lugging my stack around.

As with anything that offers this much, the board can be somewhat cumbersome. While I think it's slightly easier to use and a little more intuitive than, say, a POD XT, there are a lot of things to play with so don't expect to know your way around this board until you've had it for several months. That's really my only complaint with it, that they packed almost too much into one unit.

Construction? How about built like a brick shit-house? This unit is tough, built of strong materials and just feels solid and heavy. Ive already dropped it twice I think moving it from my computer room to my garage and it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. You old timers will remember what commercial that is from! Some of the switches seems a little flimsy but that just might be me. Something to keep an eye on over the long term, but right now I dont see a problem.

Nice job Line 6. The POD X3 Live is packed with cool stuff to experiment with, has multiple line processing capabilities, supports multiple instruments/vocals, can be interfaced to anything from an amp, PA, computer or other recording device, contains tons of amp, cab, and effects models, and is all bundled together for around 5 benjamins. Cant beat that!

- What are the effects or types of effects available?

The essential and the superflux!

- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)

Numrique

- Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC?

The app will be for the prt Namm2008

- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)

There's more that I have taken of fingers to count: o)

- Is this a rack or rack MODEL?

Not

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

The Premire approaches are fairly simple, even for me after a new member of the "family" Line6.

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?

We will see in January 2008 for the soft part, in terms of manipulation directly on the pdalier, we have to dive into the manual ... But it is clearly explained.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Yes, in terms of functions outside interface, it will probably add on a manual for the soft part.

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?

Effective, responsive, and ralistes? Not ... IDENTICAL!

- Which instruments do you use?

Guitar, bass, anything goes! Including voice, or a bass drum!

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

I love all the sound rocks, mtal, etc ... And I galre on reverses, etc ... But it's more a problem of "tone deaf" than technique ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

I just had time to try it, it is my friend 666ced666, who will speak better than me because it's an old backpacker red beans and black ...
Mine arrives ending for, and I think I will still not much sleep!

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

The sound is definitely his strong point, years ahead of Lumire all I had the opportunity to listen to before hand ...
I am a little bit of the cot "apparently less robust" than the XT Live ... It looks less sturdy, and plastic, for the smooth part, must score easily with the fingers. It's relatively beefy air even when ... Ah, yes, the pedals (for the "SS") is CARREMENT cheap ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

XT Live for the hard and Guitar Rig for simus soft (or to taste trs for taking its bi amp).

- How do you report qualitprix?

It's expensive, and the worth!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

For now ... It was on that YES!
The Pods did not allow "conjugate" two amp simulation at the same time, shooting a t corrected by leaving the LINE6 X3 ... And frankly we can hardly do without once you've tasted ...

598 with the bundle of n2 Thomann ... FYI, the rack is the XT and filled its function perfectly!
666ced666 our answer your technical questions, the good and well, and others, I'd be happy to try to satisfy your curiosities ...

Prampli guitar / bass / vocals complete with all the hyper effects ncessaires cratif an environment and quality.
That's on top of numrique actualism that even without lamp provides trsralistes sounds and quality.
The edition is trs complte whether the BCAN directly or with a PC.
Connection at the top with XLR outputs, S / PDIF, midi, USB, headphone, effects loop and between the famous Variax for.

UTILIZATION

Given the capabilities of the Next-Generation Pod (even if it is not far from the trs Pod xt live) can be expected to have difficulty navigating the war machine but I got everything is well thought out and fairly intuitive.
That said we must love even when minimal tweaking options such as routing and assignment are many trs.
If you direct your gender in Fender Strato, will certainly be a somewhat complex even when.
The edition of the sounds is pretty easy but it's true that I have on several other dj jou pdaliers to Prior. Can be for beginners in a pdalier "numrique" this may be a little Drout. Nevertheless, there is a maximum of usable presets nice now if we look good.
The manual is clear and pais. But we can make the choice of just the minimum.

SOUND QUALITY

Level effect is extremely effective.
The pod is complete and not worth dbourser supplmentaires of euros to buy complmentaires sounds (as in the Pod Xt) Intgr because everything is automatic. As with every pdalier must be patient and browse through all the sounds but what ism for the majority.
I use this pdalier Ibanez 7 string with Seymour Duncan with microphone and at the same time with a little electro and your exact guitar is excellent with both.
This is truly simultaneous double modlisation extra (the two circuits pdalier possde spars is like having two pdaliers for the price of one).
There is nothing superfluous my opinion. I love all the possibilities that this offers Pod.

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for three weeks but I feat bottom.
I can not find anything obvious that is ngatif X3 live on, even if it is a bit fragile at first.
I jou on tons of stuff before: Pod 2.0, no amp, Korg, Vox Valvetronix, Zoom ... and frankly it is at the top of the basket with no problem.
It is clear however that the price is if you just lev a pdalier effect and that was a good amp. But for my use live plugs directly into a console with two guitars simultaneously and two direct outputs that do not ncessitent DI is the top.
I think up Submitted, Line 6 still out products of good quality but which still lacked a little something. So we bought and was a little unsatisfied, but the hand of a small lamp pramplification (which will be released probably on a future release because the Russians have Line 6 ...) I do not see amliorer how this product.
If s'tait again, I Do not hesitate. Trs expensive but good!

T already said everything at this level

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

yes

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?

yes

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
yes

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are execellent with a guitar as a bass

OVERALL OPINION

I bought two days for 469 euros on the site of playback.fr.
He exudes strength.
I already had a 2 pod, a pod xt, pod pro. this is my first pedalboard effect and I'm not disappointed. we can jump in with both feet on it, it does not budge. is the top with a Variax 700 branch above. is changed with a click of guitar, amp, effect, etc.. impressive.
I hesitated between x3 and x3 live. 100euros for more connection you have a midi interface + Variax + pedals. ca vautvraiment instantly. for the record, I plugged into a Peavey Classic 20 has lamp. the sound is exceptional

All effects are l.
All numrique
No publisher Mac / PC for now.
MIDI in out
Full XLR Jack Audio out, SPDIF out, mic and player (mp3 or other)
Pdalier.

UTILIZATION

Not for beginners IMMEDIATE but doable for those who are not scotch on guitar / cable / amp.
No software currently shipping makes uncomfortable but possible.
Manuel clear.

SOUND QUALITY

Extra

OVERALL OPINION

Pdalier gnial in sound, connections, amount of effects. In particular, the SPDIF output, which saves 2-way (requires STREO) if the mixer in possde, MOTU Traveler, for example).
BUT, there is a but, no editor available for the moment, and that has lasted five months. When we had used to edit with a computer, you get the nose of the machine with the blood that rises a notch against the head not very big but more important than the Pod XT Live .
Line6 has released an update of the firmware (internal software) which should allow the future to use editor but in my case, and I'm not alone, it produces a sound resembling an acute feedback (F # 14 I box) that dclenche random image. Check out the website of the forum Line6 X3 at ddi.
That said to put a (big) BMOL this excellent machine (when running). My solution to return as the previous version of firmware, but I permettra_t_elle the use of editor? Line6-released version t_il clean it because all keys are not machines (lottery!). In short I love BCAN but ...

On paper, this pod is a real massacre. Basically, the Pod XT Live with all the "Model Packs", input / output and more (between micro, 2 between instruments, XLR and jack outputs, etc.). And especially a double string processing which allows for two simulations parallle drafts. As guitarist and singer, c'tait exactly what I expected ...

UTILIZATION

The edition can be done in two Manir:
- Directly through the interface of Pod
- PC / MAC with Gearbox Software

Typically with this kind of approach, called the house slowly presets on its computer, and then editing APRS in BPS (to adjust the levels in most cases).

If the edition on computer is simple and intuitive, even for the dual tone, I find the edition on the Pod lets DSIR. But being a regular at the Pod XT Live, I n'tais forcment trs not comfortable navigating the menus. The dual tone brings a lot of paramtres supplmentaires rgler, and in the end, it was a beautiful plant gas ... In the edition, for a dual tone (eg voice + guitar), was forcment rgler 2-way, and thus 2 times more alterations in prvoir RPET, if is more ...

Regarding the manual, I just opened 2 or 3 to find information, but it looks plutt full ...

SOUND QUALITY

It gets to the point that FCHE ...
This product looks so good on paper ... When we had a Pod XT Live, we know that the dj sound quality is not worth all the good stuff true analog, but it remains all the same all perfectly acceptable in one branch PA.
We are left with potentially two times more processing power and all the model packs included. But unfortunately, Line 6 has made the choice to save on the essential elements of the processing chain that is for me rdhibitoires. Here are some:
- The micro prampli is simply unusable for the potentiomtre rglage level of no effect on the little prs 9/10me the knob of the race, and the 10 th last, you go from "just not the" "full of fried" unacceptable. I had heard of this problem on the forums that apparently applies to all POD X3 Live: unfortunately the case and if your singers and you plan acqurir the Pod X3 Live to a , go your way!
- The headphone output is fool quality. I compared the same presets Pod X3 Live and Pod XT Live. Rsultat: m'tais I never realized how the headphone output of the Pod XT Live silent good as that of the X3 is rotten! The signal to noise ratio is at least trs trs below that of the Pod XT Live.
- The passage of a preset gnre of the other transient noise. So the point I ended up returning the DCID Pod X3 Live to the dealer. I also wanted to compare with the same configuration presets the X3 and XT, XT when to switch to another without a preset that can not be aware of nothing, the X3 g NRE espce of the "click" really unbearable ... I speak here of "click" sound caused by the processing chain (not by the noise switch mtalliques cr).

OVERALL OPINION

I used one week, the time to test RPET in the house then.
In two cases, I found it worse than the Pod XT Live for various reasons evokes above, for résumé:
- Ct rglages manual is a gas plant vritable ... one more thing for guitarists to make new friends in RPET!
- The ct, a micro pramp trs bad, bad headphone output and transient noise between presets

In addition to these two points, I note two lments ngatifs supplmentaires:
- Building the X3 Live plastic: it's much more lightweight and less stable ground, and it is less solid carrment
- The AC power supply: dj than the XT Live is not the top, the cable connection and power supply connector block seem too fragile (single tube on each cable connector more end and smaller).

In conclusion, this Pod is a great dception on paper because he had all the qualities I was looking for as a guitarist / singer for scne and RPTES. Line 6 wanted to offer less than 500 euros an evolution of the XT Live to be in fact a s'avre rgression ...

Before you buy, try ......

Numrique modeling pedals, modlisations large variety of amps, all the effects (or so) are l): distortion pedals, compressor, boost delay, wah, chorus, reverb, ... Intgr tuner.
The machine is actually a dual effects processor. We can if desired be between two instruments and features indpendamment paralllle (micro, or low, or electric guitar or acoustic guitar), or have two channels for processing an instrument (such as plugging his guitar into two amps paralllle each with its chain effect, which can give interesting sounds, see live demos on site X3 line 6). Personally I do not use with an electric guitar in between.
Connectivity enough complte in jack or XLR output.
Branch can be used directly in the mixer or in a guitar amp. Personally I use only branch of mixer and sound system, and it works very well in this context.

UTILIZATION

I find this remarkable machine think in terms of ergonomics and intuitiva use to play on scne:
- Control of sound banks, and dclenchement effects (pedal, compressor, delay, modulation, boost), switches from the wording itself pdalier (as it turns its good or dyeing old effects pedals). Tap tempo switch very practical to fit the foot time delay to the tempo of the song. the boost switch dclenche compressor / booster situ output of the amp to add Modl level, very practical to have more gain in the solo parts.
SETTING THE select amp (volume, bass, treble, mids, presence, reverb) from the potentiomtres pdalier (as is his guitar amp RULES).
Volume pedal / wah on pdalier. Select the volume / wha is done simply by pressing the pedals ct bottom edge (like pedals on a volume / wah).
Selection, rglage and recording sounds in the user bank is from the menu buttons and the screen (I did not test the rglage from a PC) . It may be that part that can some Drout. We must of course read the manual to understand some of the dpart lments cls operation, and then I find that it becomes quite intuitive, since the menus are fairly well designed.
Some small problem of the stability of drivers dpart (which seems s'tre rsorb over time), which forced me from time to time reslectionner sound chosen.
For this reason I put 9 / 10.

SOUND QUALITY

I find the quality sounds and effects excellent, trs crdible for use in branch live sound environment. I russi get clear sound, crunch, distortion for rhythm and lead distortion excellent (style pop rock, blues, rock, hard rock, some plants are used almost sounds directly. You have to fiddle about a bit to refine its rglages (noise, tonalitmix effect / direct ...) for what awaits her ear, depending on his guitar, Systm of amplification used the type of music practice.

OVERALL OPINION

Amp machine / multi-effects, while one with an outstanding sound quality, complte, trs well designed for scne, which can travel in lightweight rpt or in concert.
I put 9's attention because of the small line 6 of PBS stability of drivers met at beginners.

J bought the x3 live before my season baloche to replace my old defective line 6 .. very disappointed in all .. even if he is switched on and off for practice effects accumulated in the program ..

To advise any guitarist playing on good sound system and proficient with a neutral amp back to get the max of simus.

I just want to "dfendre" this little device is a marvel.

Sr Although it is not perfect, is a fragile, a little too plastic.
You have to spend a few hours before to understand how the various menus, with the tool GEARBOX everything is much more user friendly.
But once you have downloaded the sounds on offer by Line 6 and above those t crs by talented users. It sounds, it sounds of thunder. Acoustics, clear, delay in chorus, saturation, everything is possible with this machine!
And you can put two on. A good little machine sounds!

ps: if you sent by mail, make good transportation, it does not support "any" shock.

For shipping via PC stealthily. However, as sound card niet: music from the computer + = dcrchage my bass after 3 seconds! But it does not matter, it does not serve me to this: I have the tone port UX2 makes them trs well!

01/2010: Well I'd like to finally enjoy the X3 sound card with POD Farm plug-in. Contavt from Line 6 that I had to review rpond with my dealer if the warranty still works. I contacted by mail Thomann dbrouiller is going to have it removed by UPS and rpar. (You can use the tone port UX2 as sound card and dongle in the pod to take advantage of all the simulation at the same time)

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear, you just take the time to read it (just) to win (much) time.

SOUND QUALITY

I am a bassist. I use it sparingly so the effects from a six-string player. on the other hand I enjoy a lot with the amp simulation. Ralistes or not the simulation? Nothing beat: each has its spcificits, his music and allow me to have sound Different. Double tone function is valid for a: an amp with a clear bass you kicking the boy and another with a disto mchante good example and a serious attack!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months now. Not much with (4) with a lot of cons in rps heavy rock (with double bass drum and two atele a bcheron grateux pissed one with jcm 900). Eeeeeh bin it is not Czech! I connected to my amp: a power amp feeding a 2 fois130w 2fois 10pouces of 175W and 1 after 15 inches of 400W and the sound is good! He took the place of my pramp Peavey T-Max: more possibilities. It is worth may not be the sound of an Ampeg SVT atel August 1 times 10 inches, but for the price ...

And two more months and it's getting better. We just pay for a new sound and I hte try it!

For the description says it all t ... dja

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale Is it easy?
In beginners we say "no god ... I understand it," but after an hour, is relatively simple, we can all rgler with only 6 buttons ...
For the manual, I dropped in 10 minutes, I want to play and not play me ... A visit in case of "how it's done dja?", It is relatively simple to check ...
For the edition of the sound, I personally think it's simple, we chose the effect dose for the settings on a rponse in real time, the backup, if a please ...
APRS can enter the complex, with all custom settings that are available in bbte style "microphone is what used to resume the simulation of HP", "how far from the HP", "what kind of pice, "" guitar ", etc. ...

The majority of my patches is an amp, and that's it ... a hair on rverb cleans the delay for solos and it's part ...
When you stick a gambling effect was drooling a little, but I see no utility and is not a G major 3000E ...

SOUND QUALITY

Then I'm sick when I read the criticism of the sound, the guys who play the "Yeah this amp is poorly multiple pedals such a peak in the high when in real mdium not. etc ... .. "to believe these guys usually play on all 70 amp and some Mulsant and we have time to do comparisons with each of the critters or overlay (yes you can play with two amps at the same time on the x3 in Stereo or set) ...
When you're a "purist" on achte not a pod, must be dumb to believe that not even for 500 Euros you end up with all the greatest amp in the world ....
Ct must be its most talked about grain, ALL amps and pedals are used, there's thousands of possible combinations, not being able to get something that's really ill will if its not like a glue there a equalizer a comp. or chorus, there's always a way to get drinking stuff ...
For the effect is same, it is on the 3 / 4 that have a more restricted, but the "main" style chorus, flanger, delay etc. .. Are of good quality for the PRICE of the vehicle ...
I glue my personal custom Fender Aerodyne, or one of my other guitars in EMG, or a frying pan, I can always go for something good, to look for is a qute the sound ...
PS: I also like those who say that the sound is "dirty" to me it's more an APRS ear problem "grimey" as his, or level of play, a jc 120 mul same dirty? ...

OVERALL OPINION

Simply put I jou on the biggest amps, Marshall through Fender, Roland and Msa ... Sound after 20 years of scratch I know thank you ... The POD has grain approaches and textures of his approach, but it was not a Roadking for 500 Euros, a gentlemen must understand ...
If it is achte knowingly, there's an infinite, and must spend time to find the combinations that we like, APRS has frankly the fact ...
I also use it for convenience, I was tired of lugging my head with my cabinet with my hush with my things with my distos with my midi ... pdalier
My other had a scratch mga rack (Triax, mesa two / ninety, boss gt pro), Well I did not act piti noise, even in direct console or return amplifier, Not to mention the weight ...... The loose for him because ...
Same effect in pdalier or I just had (korg, bos gt10, Digitech, Rocktron etc ...), this one is one I have made concessions prfre I admit, but is not that bad ...
So for 500, there's everything you can imagine it, with a good record gnrale, sure I would do this purchase ...
There's good DMOS on youtube made by individuals when indcisions ...

Ps: I have not spoken patches bass and vocals, they are also not bad ...
Ps 2: I do not bump Line 6, but some critics bother me, the guy slamming 500th and says APRS only critic in "no" or "dirty" is that the guy when he bought or he must be silent pt buy ears or fingers to try the gear BEFORE ...

78 guitar amp with 24 cabinet simulation!
28 bass amp with 22 cabinet simulation too!
98 stombox and studio effects! and 6 preamp vintage and modern!
Obviously it's digital, but all we saw for the price it's the possibility There's huge!
Opportunity to play with two completely different tone and is the best!
The best is the preset There's that and can download via the site of line 6!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use a piece of cake!
The manual is very clear he explains everything in detail and there's even a tutorial ^ ^
Editing sounds there's nothing more simple it really is on top!
We have millions of possible sound with this processor is its modeling and that is great!

SOUND QUALITY

Ah, so here we are,

I use it with a neutral amp, a keyboard amp is great! it's a Roland KC 350 and I recommend anyone who has a pure spineless pod x3

- Effects such as chorus, phaser, flanger, delay, reverb are just huge! and hyper realistic for such distortion and other effects,
The noise gate is super efficient it really surprised me!
A slight disappointment on the side of wah wah and the whammy effect, I think it's a weak point of the POD X3 live ..

The compressor (which also makes booster) is great! same with the equalizer set is known as one would ...


- The simulation of guitar amplifier and cabinet are really quite good and quite realistic,
I play mainly metal and the best simulation for me I think it is: Line 6 Insane, CJM Marshall, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Engl Fireball, and other high gain amp that I do not remember the name. .
Firm level is pretty cool and it will be the difference between each.

- The simulation of bass amp and cabinet are not bad but lacks a bit of momentum and heat I think ..
This prevents the simulation ampeg, fender, mesa boogie or 400 + is sublime!
When we increase the drive limits it seems that the sound comes from a tube amp but without the power ..

OVERALL OPINION

In short, I hear people say that the sound is digital, too synthetic ..
Soon to be widely supported but it is!
It is on that if you really want a marshall sound, a mesa or an ampeg it is better to buy one .. But imagine how much it would cost if we buy all our favorite amp of this POD, counting all the effects that a loved one is in my opinion almost all close to 100 000 euro and still ^ ^

I use it for a year now, what I like is the possiblilité + we have a single pedal and the millions of possibilities, I also like being able to download more presets on the site Line 6!

Great value for money!

I recommend the POD X3 for those who do not know yet afford a big amp or effects ..
POD X3 me to a bunch of ignorant thing sounds great and now I know how to find my way!

I would do so this choice for the guitar!

As for the cons I would not be low as + to go to Tech 21 SansAmp because there the sound is realistic that + it is identical (but of course it's another budget ^ ^)

What are the effects, or types of effects available?

You name it, the X3 Live has it. From reverbs to chorus to flange and even tremelos, the Pod X3 live is a shmorgasboard of effects.

What technology is used? (analog, digital, tube...)

This board is all digital but don't let that deter you from at least trying it out. The sounds are pretty good for what they're modelled after.

Can they be edited? through a Mac/PC editor utility program?

Editing can be done through your PC with the free Line 6 monkey software as well as Gear Box. It takes a little time to get used to using it this way if you've never done any kind of editing on the PC before but once you get a handle on things, it's a piece of cake (assuming you are comfortable on a computer in the first place!)

What connection types are there? (Audio/MIDI)

Here is what you get:
-1/4-inch Instrument Input (w/ Normal/Pad switch)
-XLR Microphone Input (w/ Trim Adjust)
-USB 2.0 for computer recording
-S/PDIF Stereo Digital Audio output
-Stereo 1/4-inch Line outputs (with Amp/Line Pad switch)
-Stereo XLR Balanced Line outputs
-1/4-inch stereo effect loop
-Variax Digital Connector
-1/4-inch Expression Pedal input
-Midi In & Out/Thru
-1/4-inch stereo headphones out
-Pedal 2 input for optional second Expression Pedal Controller
-1/8-inch Stereo (CD/MP3) Jam Along input

Is it rackable?

Being that it's a floorboard, no it is not rackable.

UTILIZATION

Is the sound or effects editing easy?

I find the editing to be super simple but I've had a lot of experience with Line 6 products and know my way around them. For new customers, it may take a couple of weeks to get used to.

Is the manual clear and sufficient?...

I've always found the Line 6 manuals to be lacking. I generally get my answers at the Line 6 forums or other guitar related board forums online like Rig Talk.

Is the general configuration/setup simple?
Yes, the setup and configuration is laid out for you nicely until you want to get into deeper sound editing. That's when it may get a little tricky if you're not familiar with the menus.

SOUND QUALITY

With what instruments do you use them?

I've only used a strat and a Line 6 Variax guitar with this. The Variax was basically built to be used with the pod series and can provide a wide array of usable tones. I'd recommend that setup for guitarists in cover bands that need a different sound for every song.

Which are your favorites and/or the ones you hate?

The cleans are generally good...some some nice and fat while others were a little thin. The mid gain tones were just ok...nothing beats a tube amp in that regard. The high gain tones, if dialed in right, can be good. There's always going to be that artificial sound that sits on top of the tone that is caused by a digital device. If you can live with that, then you should be happy.


Is the sound of your instruments or your microphones faithfully reproduced? Is the pre-amp transparent or does it color the sound?

I've tried other guitars with this board but each guitar pretty much sounded the same through it. You can hear subtle differences but the audience is not going to pick up on it or care. The Variax can sound like a ton of different guitars. Whether or not you think they sound authentic is up to your ears.



OVERALL OPINION

What thing do you like most/least about it?

The best part of Line 6 gear is the way it makes your gigs and recordings so much easier. Want a simple live setup? Bring the X3 Live, your guitar and some cables to a gig, connect to the PA, get sound in your monitor or in-ears and you're good to go. No lugging around a bunch of gear. For recording, just plug in, get your sound and go.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I've used the other XT Live in the past. The X3 sounds about 75% better and has many more options.


What is your opinion about the value for the price?

The product is priced correctly in my opinion. You get an awful lot for the $300 or so you can buy these for. As I said earlier, this is a great solution for a top 40 cover band guitarist.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...

I would probably upgrade to the newer Line 6 Pod HD500 series if I was looking to buy again as it's had a major overhaul. If that wasn't available, I would buy this again if I needed it.

Precision and quality of the sound?

Sound quality is as good as your ears can judge. Don't let others tell you otherwise. If you like it, then use it. It provides a good reproduction of some pretty famous amps and effects.

- Effects available: Full Crank, amp simulations, and other traditional effects a little more original ... You probably already know all this, there is the complete list of simulations on the Line6 site.

It&#39;s all digital, eh, and it goes up to 96kHz / 24bit S / PDIF.

And so, there&#39;s a BIG mass simulations and effects, but in practice, we realize that, at the amp simulations, in the end everything sounds, not the same, but not very far either and similarly in use it will say "normal", we will use probably not the plethora of effects.

Everything can be edited easily with Gearbox on the PC, save its presets, etc.. and also use POD Farm to use the sounds of POD in his favorite VST host. That said, we must love the sound of the POD for that = p

- Connectivity: very complete, and finally to the fact that I use, ie home studio and concerts.
There&#39;s MIDI (and since an update, all parameters are editable via MIDI!), S / PDIF out very well to register for instrument inputs (finally a guitar, and one in but personally I do not feel significant difference), a microphone input (moderately usable because of gain control ... which is rather faulty), a Variax input, effects loop, output jack is going to be a guitar amp to a mixer and XLR outputs that they are really made to go to the mixer ...
So what level of connectivity y &#39;get by!

UTILIZATION

Using my faith in a few moments we can use features "basic" edition kind of effects, all that, and then deepening the beast, one can mount pretty cool routing capabilities;
Personally, when I use it to record, I plug my guitar to the pod, the output S / PDIF pod on my sound card, and I record in "dry", after I do what I want with the sound; at the same time I listen to what I play with an output jack plugged into my POD amp;

Live is a bit different, I use almost all functions of the POD I think = p (except that which is yet his fame, the amp simulations!)
So, I have a guitar that fits into the Aux input, an entry in Guitar one plays with samples with my band so there &#39;s a sequence (Ableton Live) that runs on the PC I plugged the PC POD MIDI program change and programmed in Ableton Live so I do not have to change the presets and I can concentrate on the game! It is extremely convenient.
I have two in the POD amp simulations, one that goes into my amp to the left and one right (I play in stereo) and I just change the guitar from time to time!

Y &#39;after a huge amount of other routings that could invent ...

SOUND QUALITY

Ah, the rub here a bit.
I say no, when I had my only experience with a "real" amp was a Line 6 Spider II, so inevitably I was delighted, amazed, and so on. Now I have changed a little, and as many effects like delay, and simulations of distortion pedals are pretty convincing, as the amp simulations, when there&#39;s a little gain, a kind of fizz so acute frequency varies depending on the model of amp and speaker chosen; again, the dynamic part very quickly, and when using the POD in normal use (by plugging into a PA system), it is muddy and the sound tends to drown completely in the mix. The clean sounds, and light crunch kind class A tube amp pushed to the max are much more convincing that said (and I mean basically metal-boy!).
But if you have nothing else like material and it is to the metal, frankly, that&#39;s fine, but it is far from sound "pro".

Cons by using only the simulation of distortion pedal on my 100w all-tube (made by my dad!) Oulah it sounds! Whether with the Screamer or the Metal Zone, there&#39;s the very heavy! But you can not use the other effects such as "Stomp."

Also, big disappointment: the Bender, and all effects which act on the signal frequency. Truly shameful! Once we play two notes (and sometimes only one!) From the sound completely peanut, sometimes he can not hang the frequency and it&#39;s been mounted in the high incoherent ...
Line6 algorithms are completely overwhelmed by the competition at this level

OVERALL OPINION

Me being used quite extensively for 2 years and a half, I think what I said reflects fairly well the state of my mind! I tried just about all the possibilities it offered, and I must say that if tomorrow I were offered an Axe-FX in place, I say no! Before the purchase, I tried a BOSS but I was even less convinced ... Not talking about Digitech ... I think in its price range, it is very good!

Otherwise, very simply, I would say if you do not need routing capabilities "special" that you only play with one or two types of sounds, it is better to add € 100 and take 3 / 4 excellent pedals, but if you&#39;re the type to mess a lot to do experiments, without being too cruel on the sound quality .. is a very good value for money!

HOWEVER, I thought I heard recently that the L6 was removed from sale, and in fact I no longer see it for sale anywhere on the net! So perhaps a new version is it prepared? To see!

And so, with experience, I would do this election? ... My faith, it depends, if I had money I could do better but for less than 500 € ...

The specifications of this pedal are:

* 78 & 24 Amps Guitar Cabinets
* 28 & 22 Amps Bass Cabinets
* 98 effects pedals & Studios (Distortion, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Reverb ...)
* 6 mic preamp models (voice, guitar & Acoustic Bass)
* Modeling AIR II cabinet / microphone with adjustable placement
* 2 channel amp / effects with both independent tone
* 9 effects with both Pre & Post use chain
* Wah / Volume / Expression
* Tap tempo
* 1 stereo programmable effects loop
* Preset = 128 x 2
* Chromatic Tuner with Mute & Bypass
* Converter 24-bit - 32-bit Processing
* USB 2.0, S-PDIF I / O 1 / 4 "I / O XLR I / O MIDI VARIAX

And this must be added the control software "GEARBOX" free PC via USB. This gives access to all functions of the pedal more friendly because everything done through a GUI editable.

UTILIZATION

Overall, the setup is very intuitive when the programming is live on the pedals. But the best is with the GUI GEARBOX on Mac or Windows PC ...

With regard to textbooks, Line6 is for me a reference in the genre, they are clear, concise, well documented and all downloadable via the manufacturer&#39;s website.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is that all-digital ... and he gives his best in configuration "Home Studio" or use "Console" because usually the amps simulations especially resent speaker, thus the only really usable in this case will be that of the effects unless your amp is a real wheelbarrow?!?

It is the best to my ear and I&#39;ve tried a lot of cranks (ToneLab LE and other Zoom G9.2tt) supposedly miraculous with lamps which are used as decoration! He crushes the competition at any point of view! Both in the quality of the sounds of the wealth of different effects used and their configurations. And the big plus is the Dual Sound System for mixing two simulations at the same time! And here I can say we get the big sound ... Imagine a mixture between an amp type "Marshall" and "Mesa Boogie")
Also note the loop mono / stereo that puts at the heart of your favorite materials.

Of course, one can oppose the Roll Royce of simulations like the famous "AX-Fx" home "FRACTAL" which I admit is more realistic ... but the price is almost three times more and it is not pedal format: it is well known, has for its money but the "X3 Live" has not for me to blush because it is affordable and sound more honest.
If we stay in this price range its direct competitor in sound is the "DIGITECH RP1000" which, for a pedal last generation, has a very small segment red LED display?!? Currently there dreaming ...
His competitor at the interface is "BOSS GT-10" but for me it is simply not realistic and it really disappointed me!

Finally the comparisons, I&#39;d be off topic with the "TC ELECTRONIC G-SYSTEM &#39;. We must realize that this pedal is one of the older generation, expensive (in fact unjustified given the age of its technology) and especially it is so transparent that it will not help your sound because it does has no character, it is not done here (NB: Use only if you have great stuff) and also to configure it is a true gas plant and that without PC! And there is not even a single distortion, or a single simulation for 1500 €, unbelievable, no?? In short, the legend, but its price is too digital and I do not understand why this thing is still selling?? Except for his imposing frame (perhaps too) from a tank with 4 loops ...

Remaining objective, the only criticism is for me the following:
* Too simulation of all kinds, in the end one wonders what to use some effects and bring nothing more than another
* Second is the dynamic sound distortion for me with a problem directly attributable to digital: we made a note and holding ends up falling rapidly while, paradoxically, it has a sound that hard at all?? Crunch by the cons are very realistic
* Better off with his amp simulations
* I had trouble getting clear sounds

In summary, for the Home Studio "or directly connected to a" Console ", the simulation is still generally very successful and the effects are in good order. One button near the sound of tubes for less than 500 € and trafficker were finally approaching the desired sounds of our favorite guitarists. In my opinion, the next generation of simulation will be a stunning realism ...

OVERALL OPINION

2 months get me enough to go around and Line6 is in this price range simply the best person for the most realistic and least expensive to the sight of the possibilities of its product. It is primarily a real solution "Home Studio" cheap and very effective and very good effect pedal for amp, no need to spend more!

on the other hand, rant on the part plexiglass ... I managed to scratch it with kitchen paper and household product?!? And it is unassailable ... So only use a cloth super sweet!
To the left is the black brushed aluminum top quality and the buttons are not as "cheap" as some claim.

I do not do it again this election, besides, I&#39;ve sold, because the digital simulation while missing "for me" yet mature, there are some effects that I regret.
I remain still very optimistic for the future where I think we&#39;ll see less and less difference with the sound "LAMP" generation after generation and for a ridiculous price.

To be continued ...
