UTILIZATION

The instalation took me quite some time on my pc, and I do not really know why ...
So you have to start monkey, log in, drivers updater (all this with the pod color), it's going to launch the drivers, it installs them, then the end must turn on the pod. Windows and window recognition material appears, and it will install itself, is what I did but nothing given T_T So I manually installed, and I have shown the path to the drivers that the program has Tlcharger (program files/line6/tools/driver something like that) and then it's good

I dcu t I could not play and hear the speakers on my pc that I play, it would have t more, but ultimately it makes sense: my speakers are plugged into my sound card when I plug the pod xt live, it is the sound card and so my speakers are disable. Still, I play with headphones, I register on audacity (log free) with a quality in-Croy-able

The edition of the sounds is very simple, either on the PC (very, very simple in this case, one has the guts with all the effects, we chose the effect, we change, we module, is the foundation of happiness ... in short, that) and even on the pod, is used as the two knobs near the notch ^ ^

The manual, silent in English I am not used, but frankly, a little dde hack alone and very quickly found work as they do this big beast

SOUND QUALITY

Then the effects it's still the big slap, really full effects. There are tons of effects, from the simple (clean) to bizarre (something alien xD) and it's really great! Ay headphones, the sounds are warm, full Vitali one wonders how it brought out a beautiful sound of his guitar (I played on a Marshall Valvestate 8040 who had a problem before, and I could only play in saturated xD) and it's really amazing. In addition to the gearbox software is downloaded sounds on the Internet, double click it and bam disappointed, the pod preset plays that atlcharg! Some are really great ralistes, even the simus amp (I love the vox ac-30: D) Anyway, really great!

Since the version 3.0 drivers, there is even a whammy (well a pitch shifter, but that's about the same) and you can really enjoy themselves disappointed ^ ^

I use it with a guitar Weston (a pure beautiful guitar, for connoisseurs of matsumoku xD) and also with a telecaster that I bought like 40 on ebay, and it sounds good!

Still, the 32 sound banks, there are a dozen that are unusable without a download packs and more, but it's no big deal, the strength of this beast is to find these sounds on the internet Or make them yourself

on the other hand, it sounds not very good on my amp (yes I know it's not a great amp either) but the sounds lose all their heat, they are no longer round. They become FOID, mtaliques, but I heard it sounded wrong on Marshall and also small precision:

> I play mode with the saturated gain a 0.5/10 for sound almost clear, how clean is unusable, the knobs problem xD

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week, and I redcouvert guitar. Before I was playing on my amp with only one crados dunlop wah wah classic c'tait super good, but then, this is really a killer!
This is the essential asset of the guitarist, there are all the distortion pedals as possible, there are big muff, the wah wah dunlop, vox, full of fuzz, many of modlisations amp and very versatile, c 'is really standard

I had a small ssay Korg and Vox ToneLab is also, but frankly this is a strong line 6!

I pay 250 used, it's really a matter I do not think 450 is worth the price ca, ca still represents a standard bundle of money but if you can get it for under 300 then go for it !!!!!!

Of course I would do with the exprience this choice
