Published on 09/25/10 at 03:31Basically ... Digital multi-effects, with customizable presets via the computer or directly from the pedal. An effects loop, headphone jack 3.5, and even a jack 2.5 for plugging his MP3 player. (The iPhone with all the applications you can have it, you can swing a backtrack, the metronome ...)
I bought it after my XT loose after 5 years of loyal service. Finding myself without cushy stuff to play with me (A Engl Invader 100W is not friends with your neighbors) I bought it, transferred packs effects from the pod XT and since it's party.
As usual with Line6 a plethora of effects to combine them BUT do not think you'll be able to use the effects loop with Dualtone! That is my big disappointment. -1
UTILIZATION
For a regular pod ... the time you arrive in front of the brick and play, you put less time to set your alarm clock. Nothing to say.
For the uninitiated, is preparing a manual coffee comes out, installs and you read it. Clearly, in French and quickly read!
I do not edit the effects on the pod itself, must bow down, turn the knobs as if it was a safe lock, etc. ... On the computer, should launch Line 6 Monkey and after a quick update, everything is edited with the mouse sitting comfortably.
The colon is that the black knobs are sensitive. Since I use the isp decimator G-string connected with the method of 4 Plugs (5 meter 4x ...) sometimes there is one who goes there or not and we must change everything! : /
The second is the expression pedal griiiince that after a few months. Not at all nice if you play without a headphone but fiddling with the key built in the X3 to adjust the pedal is manageable!
Obviously the construction is not made for the first buffalo that wants to come ride it! It remains for computer music and is NOT a surfboard.
SOUND QUALITY
We arrive at the weak point of line6 ... But at the same time, we do not take the X3 if we look for the absolute sound quality.
When I started using POD 7 years ago, it sounded like a siren song, any agreement sounded like a philharmonic orchestra in your headphones ... I became disenchanted with much time and we even talking about when you go to an amp all lamps! But what art it is handy when one wants to play at 00 in an apartment!
I use a Schecter c7 hellraiser and the G-string ISP decimator.
For comparison, the decimator is a true surgical chopper that cuts here and there or be held out of the noise gate x3 can not we play dice ankle in full. That's my advice for this reason we take one!
The effects are too numerous and we have a little time is short side explorer returned, we will spend a whole day to try them all, combine them in pre or post, etc..
The effects are generally good for the digital reverb but I find "empty", it makes no such feeling of space. The time there was something for everyone with or without phaser, chorus, etc..
The amp models are pretty good for numerical modeling ... must be realistic, it will never be worth more than the amp itself but for the home is the pod X3 live or to the larger budget, engl amp rack.
OVERALL OPINION
Very good investment for an average budget, I use it for almost 2 years, ideal for FET, with the experience maybe I waited a bit and I bought the fx-axis ultra-home fractal but there is already high quality and a cost much higher!
I have not noticed the product compared to what could be done in the industry, but in terms of price and over a range of medium quality good show.
For more information, or test, I live in Geneva and Lausanne, let me know!
