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

Swiss Army knife, there is everything can dream every guitarist in this machine. No effects loop but an important asset a start / stop here to look stupid but many pedals do not ...
Half of the Carpathians are locked even as many other brands, it sucks!

UTILIZATION

I'll get right to it, if you go out and play the product out of the box, it does not come out much like all pedals of this type. After 2 years of Digitech RP, thanks to Line 6 edit software in two half days I already have a 20aine patches that take the road through notament sharing customtones.
Configuration by the LCD screen is already warmer there not see much. Wha a little hard to trigger.

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent for you can take the trouble to look for the right settings ...
It was the sound of thing very quickly it still must go to the trouble to set everything here from its material, if you adjust the sound output in a Telecaster with a TSA15 here will not do it for a strat into a Marshall once we understand we work here we see the equalization changes radically if the simulation result is not.

OVERALL OPINION

My config TSA15H Ibanez with his cab Ideally, it is neutral in clean so no coloration of sound or very little and four vintage guitars, so I have to twicker when I change my guitar and I would say that c ' is a good sign it means that the sound that comes is respected.
There are many effects that carton and saturation for all tastes, the simulation of the cab in Greenback is excellent. I find this amazing product and frankly I would not do the math of what it contains virtually means ...

Hey, my name is Carson, I play in a classic rock "cover band" and I have a band that plays christian songs for small or new youth groups . I play lead guitar for both and and I've been playing for about 4 years.

I bought my PODxt Live at Guitar Center in Charlotte, NC, for $380.00.

One of my favorite things of the PODxt Live is that you can hook it up the PC and download tones of your choice i.e.-van halen, zakk wylde, etc... Another thing you can do is take one of the many presets and change it around it call it your own. There are many other things you can do on your PC with Line 6, like
download Line 6 edit or Line 6 monkey, those things make everything a WHOLE lot easier when your downloading tones. Line 6 edit you can make your own tone and save it to your PODxt Live and even give it a name! There are many other things you can do with the PODxt Live but if I explained them all you would be reading this all night.

The only thing I don't like abouth this pedal is that you can't plug in a second guitar (for fun).

The PODxt Live is shaped in a rectangle and it is black. The screen and stomp pedals are also
lit so it makes it easier to see in the dark.

If you have been playing guitar for 1 year or 100 years I strongly suggest the PODxt Live, but if want lug around your big half-stacks and 3 billion pedals thats fine with me! But having it all on a 1x2 pedal is ALOT easier

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

a plethora of effects are available through the magic of digital technology, the better to see the manufacturer's website
effects can be edited via line6 edit software (Mac and PC)
Connectivity: USB, guitar input jack 6.35 + Variax input, MIDI IN and OUT (through), headphone jack into two 6.35 + amp outputs: one right and one left jack 6.35, and an input auxiliary

UTILIZATION

configuration very intuitive, clear and comprehensive manual, editing is via the software is super easy (it's like to deal with real effects and amps) on the other hand edit directly through the pod quickly becomes hassle

SOUND QUALITY

modeling of effects and amp are very realistic and even bluffing with headphones, a little less if plugged into an amp (or so you have to spend time tweaking the settings) as each amp is different and therefore interact differently the pod
I bought a power amp, Tech21 is fairly neutral as it has no preamp it does not alter the sounds of the pod too

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several years and is the only model of multi-effect modeling that I tried.
I love how easy it is to create or even download presets from the Internet and the ease to change preset live or repeating through the pedal format, what is missing in my opinion it is a second guitar input for able to connect before the pod stereo effects.
value for money is always good when you see the number of effects and amps.
With the experience I remake that choice even if ultimately I use more for the record to repeat.
Attention, even if the models are excellent digital sound live has not made exactly the same as analog. For use in home studio cons nothing to say is ultra powerful and realistic

Almost all effects are available, except for a Detune for example, is very complete.

The technology is digital, it's a preamp modeling.

The effects and sounds can be edited from the bracket and from the software Pod Farm 2 (or Gearbox, more convenient because it allows transert sounds between the PC and the pedals, Line 6 edit the application no longer developed for windows 7).

Connectivity is fairly comprehensive: Output Jack L (mono) and R, headphone jack, USB port, digital output, expression pedal jack pedal additional MIDI IN and OUT, and I can forget ...

UTILIZATION

POD XTlive is quite easy to learn, but work on the pedal sounds live is quite difficult since it is necessary to look to get ...

In revance is extremely simple PC with a graphical representation of the various modules.

Note that the POD XT Live is a very correct audio interface for the PC, can record without latency in Cubase (ASIO good stable drivers for Windows 7) or any other DAW via USB.

The manual, I am voting no, I've never opened ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects seem effective and realistic, especially the modeling pedals like the Fuzz or Screamer. The Chorus are quite sumblimes as well as Delay.

The reverb is a little worse but it is not essential for a guitar pedal.

The preamp simulations are also very good, and there are even pre-amp simulations, such as a Tube Drive on the sound output of my Godin LGX Electroacoustic I can to restore power and heat.

Finally, for the amplification, the rest must be plugged into a mixer and out on the PA, or else use a power amp developed for completely neutral, as the Tech21 Power Engine 60, which gives more realism to the sound of the guitar makes HP.

on the other hand of grace never connect directly to a guitar amp with a preamp itself, in the extreme rigor, it can be done through the Return of the effects loop of the amp to Chinte the preamp section. But I did this test including a Peavey Classic 30, it is very difficult to keep the sounds created on the PC to the headset or the PA.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release in fact if I made a break of one year to try something else, I bought a used one then. But it's been over 10 years that I play on the Line 6 modeling, when the POD XT did not exist, I played the first little bean brand, POD simple.

It is excellent value for money especially during (Anyway, it is no longer produts, so hot to buy nine probably =.

With the experience I would do so this choice, but then I probably will have to turn to the all-new HD modeling, I am in no hurry ...

Happy owner of a PODxt Live: Here are my views on the subject.

For all the features it says here: https://line6.com/podxtlive/FR/

UTILIZATION

I used a PODXT formerly led by my old pedalboard GT3 (by noon).
So thanks to this pedal is the 2 in 1 more conviale and with more options:
I find the use of simple architectural / Especially since the advent of the new version of GuitarPort

The edition and sounds almost as easy as the PODxt, it lacks the volume portard reverb, you have to get the setting in a menu, which is not practical.
I was able to recover all of the sounds of my pod XT.
For now level sound quality I did not feel much difference ... BUT
It is on my old patch in the pod XT have changed: I have Satus less fat and volume levels of certain sounds softer or louder ... The problem just a knob that they were allowing us to add a guitar and if more or less powerful to mitigate, CSA / NORM,
The manual is clear enough.

Regret:
- The volume is generally a very lil knob on the front, it's not super practical and is not meant to be trippoté all the time!
- The reverb to get inside the menu, although c shame.
- The screen and less contrasted (although there is a setting) than in the normal XT.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is super Line 6, although frankly I already know the sound of the pod xt and abilities, but every time I'm really surprised when I need to make a new sound, one is able to be something to pass the cock in ass, the integrated model pack Fx offers new interesting things (well it depends what).
I use this device with my Musicman Luke2, and it simpa, I plan to buy can be a Variax because right now, the big advantage is that thanks to the pod xt live on just the pilot and the 'power!
And for me, before I was against buying the Variax as it had to enter a new foot pedal with transformer to power in more gas plant I had to lug me ...
I also use the pod xt live into my electro acoustic preamp (godin multiac).
I use two stage monitors to listen.
+ A foot to redirect the worm either scratching.
I have an expression pedal but I still have not tried to see if it was compatible

knowing that it incorporates new parameters to be used on a conventional amp

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 days.
I like the feature + is ... really ... it's all in one for 500 €!
I did not even think about two seconds before I buy, I literally thrown on it!
Fancher and I regret my purchase!
it seems really tough! for those interested: it is too aesthetical level class (c fortunately not the reason for my purchase ...)
Value for money is simple: do the math: Pod XT + + power supply and control flowboard Variax model pack + Fx + saves space + time savings ...
In short when you see the gas plant that I had before, are not thinking more than 2 seconds!

T all good words, a more pti for USB over its direct competitor of the moment
Software "offered" for the edition of his practices are ... Possibility of rcuprer of ready-made patch ... On the site of line6
I found the tuner prcis readable and easy to use ... despite my size and so spare me the distance from the ground (1.90 m)
It is true that an LCD screen a bit bigger would have t more enjoyable ....

UTILIZATION

I t surprised by the relative ease to get good sound without spending three hours and without even reading the manual. Must understand the spirit of SETTING THE basis and we a its fast enough .... rglages + For purposes must return to the manual using a kind Harraps pti dico ... Yes the manual is in English :-( pnible for some of pdalier the same price bought in France not sold ....

SOUND QUALITY

The effects of saturation and crunch are trsralistes my taste .... The dynamic branch is good on a console ... Sound gnral is flattering at times sounds like it sounds " Lamp "... The sounds are versatile, changing from one bank to another with no particular grain pdalier li ....
Overall it meets trs correctly Lag sound of my and my Lespaul notament changes mics (stick easel or mix) are clearly sensitive trs.
I'm not a fan of big distos mtal so I will not say anything .... I rcupr Junkie pack available .... without much Intrets for my style of music

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days )
I wanted to express an opinion on hot first contact with this multi effect as compared to the Vox ToneLab I live before making the purchase .... I nel'ai not found it easy to use, j I found the sounds trs typs with a "grain" that I found on all distos who also did not sound terrible .... I spent an hour with the seller, we have could not find sounds that I liked, in 10 minutes with the rgl c'tait pod without using the vendor ....
In short I found it fairly easy to use .... no correlation table banging vox ....( see ...)
This replaces my stuff and my JMP1 Quadraverb + amp + speakers that I ptaient the vertebrae cluttered my car and I could not take her by consquent RPET ......
At the moment the trial is successful ... to see if the use Premire impressions are confirmed or s'infirment ...

A comprehensive description stepfather me somewhat dplace. Just a few moments to browse the web to find the CHARACTERISTICS of the machine ...
Go directly to the manufacturer's website!
Allow me to perfect 10/10 from the compltude this pod!
(You will say, adpend of what we seek ... for me there.)

UTILIZATION

The Application: It is relatively simple, but for optimal comprhension, a small (large) look in the manual required me parat. STRP? At your translations!
The documentation does Relva Ancun in case of an English or Shakespearean Baconian ... for those who know the basics of language across the Channel, it should be no problem.
About me, I use most often the pod directly in "loop return" on my combo (all transistors) ...
It is true, as is often the DCRI's studio m'apparat best mode, and then plugged into a console or monitor speakers ... but, even live in PA, the rsultats are more than acceptable. Enough to learn to use compressors, and various knobs of faade ...
I do not put (the) 9 / 10 as an ergonomic supplment would apprciable t ... (invitation paradox of butter and butter money ..)

SOUND QUALITY

To me, following my gots, and the quality of my own flag:
(Stop the futile discussions about the war sounds ... they can not be too unbalanced.)
As evokes the point prcdant, the quality is maximized under the conditions "studios" ... but excellent results can be obtained by connecting the POD amplifiers ( that of the combo for example) on the other hand ... I have some doubts about the report when it is plugged in faade (in which case one does not bypass said prampli combo) ...
Spend all costs by the rglage "What are you connected to?" About the POD.
We can then find the sound of his dreams (or so because nothing beats analog effects and racks all lamps) by finding effectively in the list, the baffle you Siera.
9 / 10 because perfection does not exist. (The phrase boat.)
The effects are excellent bills, even the most exotic can be used in electro-ambient improbable trips.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not like to ... 10/10
May be that if I had a guitar in 2500 (LP, Vigier Custom, Arkane Absolute, or Musicman PRS ..) with a string of racks pice 2500, a agrments s series of carefully chosen pedals, a pair of baffles breathtaking, and a place for the OPRA ... I would say 10/10.

OVERALL OPINION

Ba, I'll give you express an opinion. I'm not a great guitarist (1 year of guitar) and before I had a V-amp rack. There's no photo ... I do not know the original sound of this type of amplifier simulated or I do not know what, but in any case, it sounds! It's terrible, the distos are really hot and the effects of super quality. The pedal robust, it gives confidence. The pedal is well weighted, perhaps a little short in the race ... And then there's a nice thing is that there is an entire community around PODs, which contributes greatly to the development of the device. We have a huge bank of its available on the net and editing software blackjack. Nan, top notch.
I had more stuff in my life Behring, we always end up selling them is not attached to it and it always ended in disappointment. This POD is the kind of thing you buy and that you keep, long, long time ... Frankly, it's a reference, one can not find what they are looking for here is that he can not use it.

See below and see the site Line6 (http://www.line6.com).

Note: You can use your PC with the software to drive guitar port via USB your xtlive.

UTILIZATION

I play for a long time, and I regularly exchange stuff, so for me, yes, getting started was simple, and I even found it super simple because very intuitive ...

The manual is full of humor and apparently complete.

SOUND QUALITY

For this part I wanted to give an opinion:

Yes, the effects are effective, the models also brief the XT Live is a great toy for me that particularly the home studio.
A slight preference for the "eruption" which, with my musicman sounds like Petrucci's guitar (guitarist dreamtheater for those who do not connaisssent).

The settings are very thin, so saw the possibilities of the machine, the sound quality depends on your use of this device, not setting "factory "....

OVERALL OPINION

With this device, it is up to you to make your own sound ... Forget all notices of "pseudo experts" who are not able to distinguish a true tube sound of a modeling ...

I stuff the tube, and the XT Live can totally deal .... and replace at short notice for any amp plug directly into the mixer ...

In terms of money, so it's a great investment, and something that has not yet been called, this device will help you work your ear, your sound to work, and to distinguish the different amps, different marks, in short will increase your musical culture without too much typing in your wallet.

The search for the "big sound" is like the Holy Grail. Especially the research that has ...

Deja deficits!

UTILIZATION

The config is simple yes, in some minutes we understood how it works in broad obviously!

eidtion the easy yes especially with Line 6 Edit or GuitarPort

English manual yet bought in France ... downloadable pdf format, otherwise the notice xt pro is the same operation.

SOUND QUALITY

There beucoup and before leqs all know it is a long time!
which is infinite in fact it is the number of combinations, thus the "lifetime" of the pod is almost infinite! must be imaginative, not to be afraid to combine effects and wacky essay SETTINGS, there is sometimes very surprised !!!!!

I use a Schecter C1 Classic, on the speakers from Alesis MK2 active, well at Sennheiser HD 280 pro. It sounds niquel!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month since I, unwanted and must pass the time to master the craft, hours and hours and it's really a pleasure to tamper!

for a fairly typical one is fast, a large metal pan after doing it fast enough when looking for specific sounds that it is taking its size!

qd we move from the grind, reggae, neo, ballad, electronica and so is the best!!

for 500 was a range of sound that can never be achieved with a single amplifier is obvious, and to record it's much easier with a big tube amp and it requires a lot of material and surout one convenient place! s records on the hours that al you want and we want to limit or!

I do it again this choice without problem! Note that the ToneLab is plsu ax vintage sound, clear, blues etc, less type of metal in general, but I think you knew with all the existing post! voilou sailing!

a + +

As my prdcesseur, I will not no longer on the dtail CHARACTERISTICS of which are well on the site Submitted by Line6 and others later.
Résumé to the POD XT Live is a "modlisateur" by which technologies numriques tries to restore the sound of any conventional analog configuration.
It's also a USB sound card plugs into a PC ... With my setup (centrino 1.3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, I play with 8 ms latency without any problem !!!).
It is more than just a modlisateur amp since many effects (stomp boxes, modulation, delay, reverb, etc.). Modliss are also. The ide of POD is really modliser a string of analog processing with the possibility of routing classical normment of paramtres adjustable as a string of analog processing permitted. The amount of diponibles MODELS opens up possibilities for coupling and large paramtrage trs. Obviously it is a quality but sometimes with so many possibilities we are left for hours to do only the rglage!
J'dite my Line6 Edit the sound that fills much of its editor rle o)
For me, the only thing I blame my POD:
- No Whammy
- A single Wha
I have not Tlcharger packs (the classic and the metal, because the original FX is included ...) but I find the amount of amps modliss trs sufficient to cover a wide varieties of trs styles and sounds.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale ultra-simple setup, either the POD or the PC is intuitive trs.
For cons, I think for someone who has exprience in no small effects, sound mixing and that the amount of paramtres dconcertante must be a little ... Each element of the chain is important in the final processing of sound. If you start misusing the machine (the very 1st thing to do is select the proper output configuration: combo / table / power amp) is the cat, sometimes with some comments o logieux little ...
For anyone who knows nothing, reading the manual is necessary. It looks good writing and clear, even if I did not read the dtail.

SOUND QUALITY

Obviously I have not used all the amps, speakers and pedals modliss by the POD, or never even taken the test of its output by an amplifier 57 or SM by Neumann, but can boast of having done? So it's hard to say trs if available modlisations really ralistes compared to the originals.
Sr what is, is that a sound, the sound is warm, enjoyable, to respect the style of the guitar is versatile and settings. To register, IDAL is: it plugs into the USB port, and hop ... 'Record' and it is in the bote! It's not gnial? No latency, no noise ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 days.
I love my POD XT Live, it has everything I was looking for: modlisateur, sound card, pdalier.
It lacks the whammy. Considering the price of this machine, we normment what to do.
Given its simplicity of use is a rgal to fawn sounds and register.
For me, qualitprix excellent when compared to its potential from an investment that REPRESENTATIVES config all analog.
Compared its competitors (Digitech GNX4/GNX3, Tonelab SE, GT8) Obviously I think it's the best, but it's got a question!
A try before you buy, but honntement trs trs good product ...

I use the POD XT LIVE in concert last year, no problem, for cons do not plug it into a guitar amp ... has not ring ... I use it against by mode studio a speaker amplifier YAMAHA DS60-112 (or any amplified speaker neutral) and all the sounds CHARACTERISTICS modliss serves as apparaissent.Je me back on track and I plug in the rigth way left mono console mixage.Comme of times we play essentiellemeent changing settings and layout of list of sounds on a PC and easy.

Very simple for a first contact. Therefore be used immediately. but you want the accuracy and bah as possible. You spend hours making adjustments ... it's exciting.

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent. it reproduces the exception. and this on any output ... headset, speaker or power amp ...

OVERALL OPINION

Okay so quickly: I just bought this little jewel of technology. I was a little worried it would be too much technology, not enough roots. but I'm finally happy.

well I wanted to talk about that actually. I just wanted to tell you that in the box this pod xt live line6 there was a manual translated into french! longer need to go on pdf to download and print a ton of paper.

And since I am, I will give my little opinion: when using the pod xt live in headphones: the sound is excellent, stuff on my speaker (250W boost) is very good too, and my vox VR30R is just great.

But beware: the pod xt live is just a tool ... do not think you will become the new hendrix with this multi-effect pedal ... but it is a diabolically effective tool.

enjoy

I believe that everything said about this t ...

UTILIZATION

It takes a while to learn, but it is only because of inpuisable trsor ... So nothing fancy, just a lot of paramtre ... by the way, even without a computer is easier but less fun ...

SOUND QUALITY

This is HUGE!
when the industry the very first time, we know, it sounds really pretty, trsraliste ... and then we ds fumbles a bit in the BTE, we realize that the original charge presets are nil compared to what we can learn, whatever their style Thurs ... clean sounds are wonderful, I have a marshall jtm45, rput to be between fender and marshall the big sound, the sound is in the pod as well ... poustouflant is ... and with 36 times more possibilities. each amp is recognizable ...
I plug the Variax digital and hop in, a kick I spend an electro a les paul on a JCM 800. That happiness.
If you are not sure, but especially the essay that you say what you mean by the sounds of plants dfile it's really not REPRESENTATIVES qualities of the device. .. They are weird at Line 6 to make DMOS as bad for a product to best of the best ... So around 10, throw anything.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week now, hallucinating a little more each day. I tried everything before, BOSS, Digitech, Vox, there's nothing to say, it is at the top for what I want. In any case, nothing to do with my korg AX1500G I had before, now I'm going to an amp ... ca me funny life easier to repeat.
excellent quality price ratio, I remember the Boss GT5 digitech and that made me RVer 6000FF the era ... who dares criticize technology?? Thank you Line 6!

It takes 10/10 since the release of version 3.0

UTILIZATION

Dj I warn right away, raise an important point because baucoup have not said, to fully enjoy this PEDAL MUST BE A COMPUTER AND INTERNET PREFERABLY and I re-emphasize ....

Without computer (rptition gnralement for me) it is very simple to use, fast and easy trs program, but for rglages in depth is not ca emptying remains superficial.

With computers, everything takes the scale, with the GuitarPort software (explained below) everything is simple. The structure is pdalier mtal, the switches are plastic but sturdy. The pedals are covered by an iron-resistant surface sheets, she is equipped with an optical sensor that quickly to have problems like "the knobs died moult APRS uses."
GuitarPort software is really effective and gives full scope to pdalier:
- Editing of sounds by viewing the pedals, amps on the screen as if you had before you.
- Possibility to change the shape of the chain effect (to the effect before or APRS amplification).
- Change the type of microphone amplification and selection of the remoteness of it compared to the slap.
- The notch tuner trs easy to use.
- Metronome trs instructive with possibility to put drums and bass, and any change to its own groove. Tempo from 1300 the black.
- Multimedia player Intgr looping to work picky, slow passage without changing the pitch of the song or passage.
- Bank of deals on the web via the software to download any sounds of the greatest guitarists.


Guitar Port software

Plenty of opportunities if you search the sound you want and taking the time to look in depth. 10/10

SOUND QUALITY

I test this pedalboard with two other "mythical" Crank: Vox Tonelab the pedal and the Boss GT-8. Dja the Boss GT-8 is taken out of circuit. Finally, Vox and Line6 remains equal. I draw a following point, one is for those who n'on no computer (Vox) and one for those in a (Line6).

Now the sound quality. APRS use on scnne, bah just standard plug into a mixer and back with my amp as the sound is gnial. Some say its not ring a scratch amp is totally wrong, I use it on my head in rpetition Ibanez amp (you must set the amps on the neutral, So that means all the knobs on the middle) and the sounds are reproduced Fidler.

For the simulation of sounds, everything is Fidler. In the manual, it shows in pictures the amps, pedals and slaps effect they Muls. As a, it is an IDE that is used. But the similarities are very striking especially for Marshall amps and MsaBoogie just to name a few. 10/10 for sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This is pdalier trs out its price is 500. I draw a huge potential on stage. With a computer, pedalboard is the most terrible of scne multi-effects and studio. Easy to use. The only regret I have is that he did not have a sampler, with an XLR damage and a sampler has expandable SD card, it would be a monster. Finally I read all other topics and some did not really took the time to look into the depths of his pedals. And I ressouligne is a happy APRS intensive use in the studio and in concert.

Simulations numriques guitar amplifiers and effects, edition on the craft or PC via USB, for more details see the Line6 site.
I put 10 because ct features, it has everything I need for now (is what I need? Sr ... not at all ...)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is easy: either the PC editor, which is more "visual" or directly on the pdalier, some will complain about the small size of the screen, ca me personally but disturbs not understand the remark.
The edition sounds simple, just "build" on the steps by steps (simulation and amp and stomp ....)
The manual is well done (in English against French version of the Line6 site), a description of how a t couraging for each amp simulation is essential for rgler some simulations (some amps we have the EQ knob for example ... so if we seek a sound on the amp simulation of tampering with knobs that do not exist on the original MODEL will be difficult to have a sound simulating the original by consquent ...)
J'enlve a point for the manual in English, we simply have no internet and we've taken German language Premire ....

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are not incidental at all ..... As for the amp simulations I must say that I believe (I'll do my knuckles rapped by some ... ) at least for the amps I possde, others I do can not speak well videment.Je explain: I have a mesa dual recto and the POD simulation (channel 3 in modern mode of the front) is very similar, rglages equivalents and blind test well dplaise do, it would be hard to make the difference ... but not impossible, against a record I am convinced that the majority of people would do the diffrence (how many albums all genres are saved with this type of hardware these days?? of more: flexibility, saving time and money etc etc etc = ings the happy, happy producer, etc etc etc ....).
Nothing to do with the sound quality but plutt with the requirement, when the amp simulation intgrale?? (Ie each channel of each amp ... would top the ca ... )

OVERALL OPINION

Like the PODXT, line6 Fidler has not mean much, but I have not had the opportunity to compare, personally I love, I use it mainly with a guitar electro-acoustic, which n is not really a useful dpart but allows me to prparer my sound as a studio mixer and also to vary my set

I leave my house has on my monitor speakers, the sound is perfect, sometimes much lower Submitted beautiful, sometimes beautiful acute Arian

you can compress, equalizer, according to a game arpge, scrape or hit on my acoustic

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days and I have passs full of ides, I configure the computer and once finished I save by putting the name of the song, it's that simple a, if there is a change in the middle of songs, I put the sounds in cte cte pedals, do a stomp with the intro to remove then add a delay on a passage

that's really what I expected, to vary application volont.ma sound is not as demanding trs I do not sound too saturated.

I am glad trs

It's a good amp simulator and effects (all numrique)!

Everything is in a large and robust Submitted pedals well. . .

The conection is quite complete, and the machine is connected via USB to the computer updates, edition of the programs and save your musical compositions. . .

UTILIZATION

Usage is quite handy:
- While playing the track to the other program is very practical and effective activatio nd'un so is!
- In this edition, but also much more convenient visual prcis on the computer (in fact once it is used is ca ch *** r-edit the program is rather boring on the POD, not to mention the size of the screen, minus)
- By against the manual is in English and this is not always facille but it gets there (not to mention aue can lcharger the French version on the site of Line 6)

SOUND QUALITY

The modlisations amp and effects are dja in number and are of higher quality (even if it remains in the numrique trs is really good), once the rglages found, the sound is!

In plain or with any kind of saturation is really not bad, it almost feels a true Twin Reverb or a Soldano, it's pretty exhilarating even if we can not achieve perfection, it's still the num America!

OVERALL OPINION

Barely a week but I can use the BTE has rgler and see that we can do anything with it is really a great machine. . .

I really love the sound of the POD and use comfortable, but be warned it's almost have to have internet to use the full capabilities of the machine (computer has at least one port!

The ratio Q / P seems pretty good and despite the lack of exprience I do not see too buy another (even if we find some good stuff in other brands), SATISFIED!

Wonderful!

OVERALL OPINION

I'm not going back on everything that is said below, but more as an opinion I would intervene personally and a technical point of view ... For brevity I use the pod since October 2006 - the chamgement was brutal (using a zoom multi-effects related to BossMT2, I took a slap at his énormissime and counting), of course the sound is excellent and for 500 euros, when you see the infinity of settings offered by the baby you are always filled. I play in a training-oriented rather "alternative rock" but also tends to various styles (bossa, funk, ballads, progressive, or even metal) and assume that for all it can detonate! But let's say for a beginner with not necessarily a balanced config and powerful sound can quickly ring mail, beware of all beginners do not be discouraged should spend time there but the pod xt live is a dream machine: it can be out anything! (Just for example: the delays are flexible in the extreme, the effects of octaves very precise, the game sound very romantic) ... the only downside distos perhaps because they may lack punch and / or precision in touch -> but this detail can be offset by the updates that allow internet to download other sounds, including a bank dedicated to sound "metallic")
Personally I have not needed to connect even if only once in my pod software, it seems that it brings me a lot but it is very much in its original config!
Oh yeah, final note, the machine is very nice, very classy, ​​but expect a bit of oil to its purchase: PEDAL Grinds! (A friend had the same concern so I speak knowingly)

It does not return the above it was said 15 times. With version 3 is 42 amps, 24 speakers and over 80 effects, in short, more than enough. We can combine 3 effects at the same time + a volume, a gate, compressor and reverb, all assignable before or after entry into the virtual amp + 4 different models of microphones to capture virtually what comes out. What happiness!

UTILIZATION

In studio and on stage, of course, all with my Variax 300 I had acquired before the POD XT. The configuration is slightly more complicated than a Tonelab but not insurmountable. It becomes downright playful connected to a PC using the Gear Box software. The manual is comprehensive, fun, too (there is humor and photos of equipment modeled)

SOUND QUALITY

Sound: I also have a Tonelab SE (I sell for that matter) that I plugged my Variax. It was good but the sound was a bit "soft" at times and lacked potatoes mainly in the upper spectrum. The XT live with a standard guitar is great (I plug in my little Gibson All American II), the models are of very high rank and tiennentt compares favorably with the Tonelab, each of the two devices showing in turn better than the other depending on the type of amp. In short, all that is already very good. My Variax plugged into analog sounds as well as well or even better than the Tonelab is gaining momentum. My digital Variax plugged in via the specific port: THIS IS THE ATOMIC BOMB! The momentum is there, the heat too, we gain accuracy and authenticity paradoxically ... it sounds almost not (in any case altogether less) digital! It is extremely fast bleuffé provided by the realism. Coupled to the Variax Workbench: we no longer need anything, everything is there and everything is possible, a kind of dream come true. We play different amps all very usable, we have fun with different microphones, triturated, we change the body ... there are brief sounds allucinants, quickly light years of the "standard bal musette" Some criticize the Variax ... we save all that and again a miracle saved the program and remember not only the setting and chaining amps and effects but also the model used on the Variax and the position of the tone knob!

OVERALL OPINION

It's insane. I come back yet. I had a lot of modeling: a V-Amp, a Black Box, a Tonelab. The couple POD XT Live + Variax digital input via dedicated crushes (I think) everything can be known in terms of modeling and modeling I mean, I will not venture to compare it all to the real stuff hardware real lamp with a Les Paul. But the result is surprising and wonderfully entertaining. Few people (see one) can also accumulate as much stuff. Imagine: 42 amps, 80 guitar pedals and 28 = more than 94 000 different combinations (not to mention the guitars can be created via the workbench). So for less than € 900 it all, even if it is not the same as true, it is a dream and it can be concoqueter a lot of sounds "on your own" original, authentic and powerful, quelquesoit style.

Effects already mentioned by many other owners of the pod xt live
Technology and stuff ... ditto

UTILIZATION

The config: At first it scared a lot of buttons and big manual, but soon we understand. And strangely I assimilated much more quickly than other stuff I've had before! It's been a little over a week I have and I'm doing very well. That is to say that I understood the philosophy of the pod xt live and I do my small banks and the settings are fine.
It becomes almost instinct and the grip is actually quite fun and entertaining.
The manual is really great, clear, full of tricks. The presence of the photos is really a plus.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects and simulation are really great. I had the pedals, and multi-effects known brands (B. .., Z. .., K. .., B. ....... to name but one) and frankly ca n ' has nothing to do. It easily manages to be funky sounds with ease.
Download sites (custom tone) and editing software (tone port) are undeniable advantages that double wide interest of the machine. (As well as updates, we also want other Line 6 Mr. !!!!!)
Different amplifiers are very realistic and sound great. A slight preference for the marshall and I particularly like the screamer effects, auto swell, the delays and wha.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had eight days and this beast sounds damn good with my Fender Stratocaster mexico, my dvs ibanez arc 300, and my vox ad 15 w or my peavey vk 212.
Frankly I started to despair despite the stuff I have and the various pedals that I had I always found my way to see her disappointment.
So there I sound ............. amazing!
Bought second-hand 300 euros my pod xt live is 7 months old .... It does! (Still under warranty)
My only regret: having hesitated so long to pass the course!!
I could not believe it when I read the opinions of the other owners of POD XT live but honestly all this is no exaggeration.
I think I found the gear that will accompany me until the end of my life !!!!!
Line 6 thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will not CHARACTERISTICS several times on the nonces.

Assets:

The format and layout of pedals
The connection
The USB port associated with guitar
The ease of setup with guitar port
Effects in sufficient numbers

The least

Only one type of wah
No loop "send return" as the GT 6
Edit menu to edit in the sounds (less friendly than the tonalab)

UTILIZATION

I had no difficulty to take control even if the instruction is in English. on the other hand is much more user-friendly setup via Guitar Port which ncessite proximity with a micro computer Laison ADSL if possible to easily Tlcharger pRSET.

SOUND QUALITY

In use in a live amp sounds correct and has adpanne, but I think not for a

Live console, ralistes sounds very practical, even if did not have bizard amp derrire.

In direct recording via USB, it is the very sbien, we get a quick good sound without taking the head;

I think the trs modlisations are well made, simus speaker cabinet and mic as recovery

sends out the nuances of the game

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years since I use it. We live and we are far RPET sensations of all-tube, for one studio against this kind of stuff is very well suited. That's cel that I keep;

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
Is all (well all that is indispenssable.
- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)
numrique
- Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Yes and sounds tlchargeables via line 6 edit
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
Both

not

UTILIZATION

Ben reads the manual and it's good

SOUND QUALITY

As good as on a vritable any lamp, the best of the best in the Mtir.

OVERALL OPINION

Raction on prcdants my opinion will see that many people still do not understand that this is not a multi purpose. It's an amp simulator and for me it's largely well-filled rle bad language and contrary to those who can draw a lez rgler incredible. I could compare the modlisation of Dual rectified with a real, perfect, or even an old Hiwatt Soldano nothing wrong.
It's perfection, it will faloir the competition is to compete the lve tt bte!
