All user reviews for the Line 6 POD XT Live

In fact, we find everything and anything as fact, reverb, echo (delay) of saturation, cleans, etc ... etc ... and everyone to make sauce!
It's digital, so the sound is a little cold. All connectors are present, MIDI and USB (RJ45) to connect to the computer with Gearbox and download sounds from other musicians on-line (that pretty good).

UTILIZATION

The CG is pretty simple to understand. The manual is quite clear
Editing sounds is the future and to the taste of everyone, but nothing too complicated.

SOUND QUALITY

As I said above, there are all so good delay, one or two other effects of saturated and enough cans for music "normal" but that can be used if it is a little crazy hardcore progressive jazz metal ( if you know what I mean)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it 2 years and then sold to the X3 LIVE which is the same with qqs additional parameters. Previously I had tried the Boss GT3 and even before the Korg AX 30 G.
What I like most is that it is a pedal for the stage so very strong, the least that there are too many sounds that I use to rien.Je prefer pedals with only 5 super saturations, 5 Very good delay, reverb and chorus / flanger, and 5 very good sound clean. For me it would be ideal.

simulations of all kinds multi purpose USB sound card

very complete in connection

all numrique

UTILIZATION

config? not so simple as that the notch of the masses for not using them makes case

Describes the manual many effects but less in depth ldition paramtres

SOUND QUALITY

good sound: I have used that sound card in my computer and it works fine no lag or crash edition of the software works very well
to import the patch is a bit heavy gearbox is
also means a Difference of sound when you open a Difference Level I do not know where it comes from

I plugged in my monitor speakers connected to the pod makes ca better than computer speakers

realistic? I do not know J have never had a Soldano or mesa boogie!
l I use with my gibson les paul but I could have a play with it like Paul Beuscher

like everyone else, I also tried facade of a tube amp and it sounds horrible c is not

ca should sound in the studio live in a console

OVERALL OPINION

I have more c was very convenient for the evening jamming with headphones on the computer with Ableton Live perfect! its pretty flattering to beginners you may record their compositions in mp3 is himself a small pro with a big sound

but as stated above ca tired c is the same regardless of the scraper

dynamics is not a part may be in its best light that I've been able to make this cot is simulated to bypass the amp and put a nice day and the delay had something fun and dynamic straw!

boat is what I say but when you taste the lights and pedals are no returns unless there is an urge to jam at night when everyone is in bed

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

UTILIZATION

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

SOUND QUALITY

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

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

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

OVERALL OPINION

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

See the website of Line6 ...

UTILIZATION

Given all the possibilities, yes it is easy to use.

SOUND QUALITY

Impossible not to find happiness in the whole range of amps and effects offered. I use it with a VARIAX and there is really top, going from a simple foot pressure to his acoustic guitar, a Gibson's well saturated.
What must be understood with this type of material you get is a sound similar to the recorded sound is top notch home studio for use for example. For stage I used it directly plugged into the sound, it sounds okay, but I still prefer playing with a real amp is more "hot", not to mention with the pod you are completely dependent the sound engineer.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 3 years with a Variax, really an interesting experience, it made me a sound palette varied. This type of material I think is very suitable for those who change her often.
What is also nice, is that it gets to know all the effects and uses combined with the Variax, the whole history of music we have at our fingertips (and feet).
I never saw him because I have been around, and I prefer playing with an amp and pedals, but I have never regretted my purchase at that price

The effects:
micro speaker amplifier simulation
disto
modulation (chorus flanger phaser rotary ...)
reverb
delay
eq
comp
wha / volume

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear super super super easy editing intuitive.

SOUND QUALITY

Question realistically I'm not a fan, but the sounds are still good, all these pedals simulation, line 6 dominates the series for my taste.
I use two configs:
Wha a (bad horsie), talk box, pod => Console very satisfactory result
Wha 2 (bad horsie), metal muff, talk box, pod, mesa quad, GX700 in the loop of the quad, and here I'm just super happy
for guitars, ibanez 7-string (the tuner was really struggling with this one), jem555, more Fender Start.

OVERALL OPINION

The quality is quite reasonable for my taste not always enough gain on the amp simulator, I always add a distortion. The remaining effect is much the road, never forgetting that it's digital, so directly in a table is not super hot, but I personally use it before a mesa quad, and it really warms up.
Editing is super easy with or without the software.
The major weakness, there is no effects loop, which is sorely lacking.
The USB output is handy for people who have little means to catch guitar.
Frankly it is a machine that I do not regret one second for purchasing at the cost of the opportunity, and the only regret having bought the basic version, while for the same price you get to find with additional pack

Pedal amp simulations and effects of guitar and bass with robust manufacturing a complete connection.
Everything is editable via the pedals or the PC / Mac via USB.
So of course we are on digital.

UTILIZATION

The configuration and editing are super simple, concise manual but to settle amp tones and effects simply turn the knobs and trust our esgourdes.

SOUND QUALITY

In effect we have a full range of the sum proposed, but there are some that are gadgets for me and which I am using absolutely not.
It is also possible to buy the Line 6 site packages offering other simulations.

OVERALL OPINION

I have four years and this is my first so no comparison with other models.

+: The extremely helpful at all in a sturdy box in a not too large (less than most pedal-boards) and even if not very light (sign of strength) is always much less heavy and cumbersome that amp head, a speaker and a pedal-board not to mention all the cables with problems.

For the musician playing the guitar and the bass and the Pod XT Live has something to satisfy most needs in this one pedalboard.

The reactivity of Line 6 to resolve problems on their hardware, I talk about it here:

- Ben if the digital practices are, for me, not as hot as the analog, with after a failure (motherboard problem I talk about in the link above) out of my Pod had my old Fender Champ lamps and all my effects pedals have rediscovered the heat and vibration of the output amplifier.
The adjustment effects in Live impossible without going into settings Pod.

+ & -: The very one that if a + is completely unusable in case of failure of one component while on an analog channel it is sufficient to bypass or replace the defective part.
Sounds neat and cleanly, but just may be too "clean".

Value for money is good. Impossible to get for that price all the amps, effects, etc. not to mention that there has perhaps the place to put everything in its local Zique.

I would do this choice? The question remains suspended and ... the most and the least being balanced! Anyway saw the fall of its price, and the argus new motherboard I do not part with it though ...

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.
But I have a Cort X-9, an H & K Attax80, a local acoustic mdiocre NOW POD XT-live ... (nan er, I forgot the mdiators and jacks).
I am discovering sounds, new horizons, and I reach even (sometimes) ignore all the circumstances that make my stuff from a hardware newbie ...
What neni! I play in a group we work and all play srieusement plutt well for our respective expriences the ... POD will indniablement something the rest ...
Bye!

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 ...

OVERALL OPINION

Bin in all but personally I'm Famous DSSU the Line 6 Pod TX Live! pk? too many unnecessary sounds, this pod is a gadget, a toy! For the guitarist who - 4 years of guitar is useless to buy it ... beginners in this pod parrait simpas and "monstro", it is imposing, he has a dsing simpas trs but get tired quickly. There's far too hard and found what you are looking for sounds sof pr-conssu sptialement done for a song. I find the sanitized, bland and flat and for a lack of mtaleux GAIN! corus effects, flanger, reverb sound cool but are really too pourave disto, disto they are "cardboard." Personally, I do not recommend this to beginners because the pod mastery of digital sound is quite spcial, bought for the price as a good analog effects and be satisfied. The sound is shit on a transistor has a combo ...

Everything has been said otherwise see line 6 Site

UTILIZATION

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

SOUND QUALITY

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

OVERALL OPINION

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

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

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

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

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 + +

Ben everybody ..... adj parl is a PODxt pdalier format .... Otherwise, see the website line 6 o they tell you everything

UTILIZATION

Usage is trs simple.Mme not need to open the leaflet for the handling, the menus are well done, clear, there is too much (sometimes too little??) Of param tres, it's clear, concise and efficace.Le manual (I had one in French!! nananre) is as usual at line6 well done and the config rigolo.La p Dali is damn good and it's one foot on scne (!!!!) use. I would have some effects on AIM (the delays not to mention) a mode "advanced edit" a bit like the TC GForce order accder all custom settings in depth .... but it must me to print some rclamer a. ....

SOUND QUALITY

I'll just give my opinion on each section:
1) The amp simulations: Line6 has taken another leap forward on modlisations (I had a 2.0 until the pod is even more of dynamics, clarity is less breath .... bluffing. Mention specially for the plexi, the twin, and high gain amps.
2) the pedals (stomp): y 'has a lot of good distos the trs (screamer, tube driver) to passable (metal zone), compressors (too much ... but it's better than not enough), a booster EQ + trs super efficient and useful autowah a funny and effective, a ground swell for synth effects and funny but a little gadgets.
3) modulation: large trs in Stereo, the Chorus sine and square have my prfrence.Les flangers are effective, the phaser is 70's wish, ranging from the vintage style tremolo fender through a grinder throat, and autopan done a good job. on the other hand, except may be the sample & hold, I am not a fan of "gurgling machines" of the FX pack.
4) the delays: Well y'en full: analogs of (nice) of numriques (well but lack paramtres I got), the "gurgling" (bof. ..). Lack a delay with ducking.
5) The rverbes: Yen for all tastes too: the vintage spring (referred to the "lux"), plates
(Great for large rverbs 70's) and numriques (rooms, halls, rooms). For these dernires, a struggle not with the TC or Lexicon, but honnte (in any case really better than 2.0 on the pod!)
6) The wah: good. It's taf and trs is close to the vox. I would have to have AIM ACCS 2-3 DIFFERENT MODELS (cry baby, morley) is not because the vox forcment effective in all styles.
7) EQ semi paramtrique: not super efficient, and certainly not at the foot switchable, too bad.
8) compressor / gate: the compressor is easy rgler (threshold level) effective and foot switchable (switch if it sacrifices the "amp"). The gate is doing its job, but is almost useless with the Variax (magiiiique).

Severe lack of appeal: a pitch shifter .... Ms. basic mono ... trs same damage when there is a stockade of stuff little utiles.Peut be in- the next pack ......

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few days, with a Variax 700 reu. The couple Variax-Pod XTlive on scne (provided we can do without a HF) is REALLY awesome: Moving from acoustic DI, a layer of a twin and then on a les paul a front just by pressing a switch, it's magic. This is the top when you need often (and in my case) sounds completely Different. I have long hsit with the Vox ToneLab (which is also a great little machine that rings of hell), and compatibility is the Variax, and the possibility of routing that made me look for XTLive the pod. I also thought the Vetta II is a gas plant vritable (l I would have had my pitch shifter !!!), but for now, considering the price diffrence and to footprint, which is still the XTlive gagne.Certes, it has some default: no pitch shift (one I care !!!!!), MODEL wah, the possibility of routing Internal INTERESTED t forget that only one original expression pedals, switches the "Roland" that do not look ultra solid, not XLR. In good cons to entering the in minijack (for work in the hotel ...), running for the quality and quantity of MODELS amp and effects, and pdalier ergonomics.
In conclusion, has effectively replaced their baffles 36amplis + + 50aine one of the pedals and racks + + backliner to maintain the truck to transport the roadies for all + install: So even if we will ever "real "feel of the game on a real amp spits lamp watts, pdalier worth.

PS: Just a trick, I just tried my TriAxis upstream of the pod XTlive direct console: with preset "no amp", I could only use the simulation of a hp ...... Well kill .... May be a pod XT pro in my old rack .......
