    Full of zm models and especially the Dual Tone, the main interest only see this new version.

    We understand that they are not integrated XLR outputs not to compete against the X3 Live by nyat WHY THERE NO 48V PHANTOM ON INPUT XLR !!! It's still stupid for microphone input ...

    The new look is nice, larger than a Pod 2.0.

    At this price level a little higher we regret the connectors and knobs range and an LCD screen so sad ...

    USE

    A little confusing at first given the number of parameters, but the manual is very well and quickly become intuitive settings

    SOUND QUALITY

    The Pod is legendary for 3 or 4 sounds and it is still valid for this version: Line6 Hi Gain, Vox AC30, Hiwatt and some other ... except this time you can use both at the same time and do a right mix / left at your convenience. It's just what we all been waiting for 10 years ... AND C IS DEADLY !!!

    Some new kind Engl Powerball amp bluffing; simus pedal distortion, compressors, modulations are very successful for the time we are far from DL4, pity ...

    Do not get any illusions:
    - It is for the studio or the "small" live, to help out.
    - A mesa rectify Twinverb left and right, it's fun two minutes, but it has no great interest ...
    - The models for bass, electro-acoustic and singing are gadgets that can be used in certain situations.

    If you do not fall into the trap of over-parameterization, you use the basics amps that 9 times out of 10 their premises by default, which is the one that sounds the best, you will inevitably find your sound with the added bonus of stereo unprecedented picture on this kind of product.

    Note parametric equalizer which allows to tune the sound very professional manner.
    The noise gate is Top.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Live in an amp or live on a sound, it will be hard to have a better sound with a simple all-tube Marshall and a few pedals transplanted with a dedicated mic.

    In the studio for the big sound you have two options:

    1-The material of John petrucci his sound engineer, studio budget and six months before you ...

    2-A Pod X3 ............................................. .... and here and your pal Marshall and audiovisual BTS will pity ...

    Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
    Yes the software on the module I have not scratched too but it looks not so good ... and the buttons do not seem to be made for intensive use (I opened it, see below)

    The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
    Not read it, not come with (used)

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
    Yes, Line6 has a good reputation of the cot, even if we can not have a true sound, once configured to his taste he is doing very well :)

    Which instruments do you use?
    For my guitars I have a Vox ToneLab is, I use it for my bass in my homestudio
    My guitarist has a version also live my bass player. The crankset is a plus for the scene.

    Which ones do you prefer, you hate?
    Amp simulation for my bass, I do not hate her ... if I find I will add here :)

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you use it?
    Ben actually I just fix it but I know the live versions that have my bandmates.

    What thing do you like most and least?
    + Good sound, lets himself in a corner of my homestudio, good for soft parametrer
    - Lack of connection: XLR out as in the live version, Midi

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    Yes, I love my ToneLab SE for my guitar for its sound and simplicity for changing sounds live if need, that's okay for my bass in my homestudio

    How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    Well ... I paid 20 € ... it was sold without a power supply (probably sold next ...) and HS state.
    I bought a power supply to replace the x3 live my guitarist whose cable was a bit damaged, Recycling his own: once connected, it lights up and smokes a few seconds, ca reeks of burnt ...
    I open it ... well ... I think Pègue POD has a drop of beer or something style: D
    After a good cleaning, and saw the nose, it turns out that the switch that is causing the problem (it smells burnt, and the inside is charred) on these models, recurring problem. Well I fire him and put a wire to replace it ... have to unplug it to turn it off but at least more concern ... I reconnect ... no better: / It was listed as smoke, diodes have morflées also ... I give you the ref at RS if AC can help (I'll may be a tutorial)
    https://fr.rs-online.com/web/p/diodes-of-recovery-and-schottky/7384787/

    I have changed all of the sudden ... it comes with 25 anyway and that way it's done: D

    Since nickel, everything works well :)

    Effects galore synth chorus, phaser, modulation of any kind
    Connection jack, XLR and s.pdif
    Are editable via pc but a bit chaotic as the Gearbox software have not been updated for x3
    That said with a little sissy you come to understand!

    UTILIZATION

    The manual is very clear
    Editing sounds is quite easy thanks to the joystick type button.

    say that after some time it has quickly identified the story.
    The most confusing is set if the FBV pedal included and use
    to turn the effect eg Bender

    SOUND QUALITY

    Magic is a Pod Dual tone function to mix 2 channels
    and thanks to this we get a very good sound.
    Acoustic simulation is quite close by mixing 2 channels

    Acoustic simulation is quite close by mixing 2 channels
    Connected to a Gibson, Fender or Ibanez and LTD
    Pod x3 this is nicely
    For a good acoustic guitar simulation privilege has 5 positions
    it gives a better rendering.

    I regret midi inputs like POD XT, but it is the Marketing Line 6
    as obliged to take a FBV MkII pedal or shortboard with RJ45 connectors

    I'm not used my pedal Behringer FCB 1010 with POD X3 and damage? but hey!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I had the POD 2.0 and XT
    I much prefer the latter therefore the X3, the sounds are better

    Favorite feature is the dual tone
    Even with an acoustic guitar it sounds great!
    As input jack + microphone input and plays with 2 channels! too good!
    If you feel like taking, there is the need for singing with such settings, megaphone, echo etc ...

    Price or I bought more with the FBV Express MKII 100 euro all and not even a claw

    I would say YES I made a deal and I would do the choice!

    I just upgrade the X3 with a Mac (Leopard), no problem.
    there really is something to find his way among all the effects available
    I particularly like the XLR mic input since my application is a bit special:
    back the sound of a piano (acoustic) via an SM57.

    UTILIZATION

    Editing is OK, it takes time ..... as with any
    The configuration is the X3 is very convenient for live.
    manual ok

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are effective! yes it is on.
    I use a Yamaha U1 upright piano or 1 / 2 tail Kaway or Steinway.
    I use a lot of filters, delay, and finally distos .... just about everything.

    Many paramtres ditables the pod, Publisher pc / mac prvu for early 2008 (a missing much).

    Connections: a bit of!
    Entries:
    - Scratching / low (normal) mono jack 1 / 4 "
    - XLR
    - USB 2.0 (mean sounds pc)
    - That's it! No noon! entrespare no bass / scratch (with the dual tone, yet ...) and especially not of the (unlike the POD X3 Live). Ms. my v-amp in a possde ... It really lacks.

    Outputs:
    - Headset (the pod config changes automatically if a headset is connected it is convenient) jack 1 / 4 "
    - Digital output S / PDIF
    - 2 output jack symtriques 1 / 4 "L / R line level.
    - Usb 2.0: practice, it can record at the same time on the signal line tracks spares left, right, the signal mix the dry signal left, signal right dry, it's really well.

    And all this is the format beans, quite stable and not taking too much space.

    small rant against the price of pdalier CONTRL ...

    I put 9 because of the connection a bit tight for 400, and the lack of firewire, which could afford to do without power supply when connected to pc, and the absence of a small footswitch included (there are sold with a v-amp. L must let go of a lot of money for pdaliers line6 ...)

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is not strictly speaking gnrale simple. Ergonomic, yes (as far as can see a ton of paramtres). Simple, no. The consultation of the manual is mandatory to easily approach the craft. It is not too bad, the description of effects and amp is provided.

    The connection to the PC via USB takes place without any concern, and likewise the upgrade firmware or drivers ...

    The presets are plentiful and easily accessible for use in a hurry, but without cot 80% of the intrt bte. Do not take this unit to use plug and play (the pocket pod is for a).

    I think the edition will be greatly facilitated by amlior when Line6 releases the editor on pc / mac.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Without going into the LORD dbat modlisation / sound directly, etc ...
    Some modlisations are much more convincing than others. The X3 takes time for his paramtrer her to have a rsultat drinking, but there are ways to get something trs convincing. This is not the best I entedu modis, but the opportunities can do well.

    J'apprcie much the aspect of "all in one" that allows you to connect and deal with several instruments on the same interface. J'apprcie a lot to find the characters of my instrument despite modlisation. While it is not as straightforward as when I live on a branch just lamps, but CHARACTERISTICS guitarist and instrument gums are much less than before (those who do not believe me test a v-amp then derrire x3) ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a few months Submitted and bought it from two perspectives:
    - Mao a certain quality not take my head with transplanting before the amp, and standards can
    - Its "all in one" (bass, scratches, micro ...)

    I tried many things before (diffrent well as taking the microphone, VST, others pramp modlisation, loadbox with simulation of hp ...

    Quality level is clearly not the best choice. Practical level, the extended possibility, is not against the photo.

    Bought 395, the product is prcisment my needs, so in my case the ratio q / p is good. Someone who does not connect a PC or connections low / micro srieusement should look to other products ...

The LCD has grown and now allows you to view and access the various treatment units. Many parameters but the ergonomics t think much and can be reached without taking head.
    Pod X3 offers supplment an XLR for a mic and be a SPDIF output in addition to the USB port.
    In addition, the X3 offers, without the acquisition of additional packages, a wide range of bass amps and preamps voice or gnralistes. Pluot it works well and is very convenient.

    UTILIZATION

    The manual is clear and the edition is fairly easy with the new display and visualization of synoptic treatment. I have no problems after reading the manual, which is a must. It's pretty quick also.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I t pleasantly surprised by The variety and quality modeling. Compared to the XT there is improvement in both quantity that quality. The metal must be more satisfied because the choice of modern amplifiers is much broader and no purchase options. The dynamic progress and overall I think my guitar parts more clearly and naturally fit in my mix. I use it with my electric guitar or acoustic, with my bass, or microphone for voice, or else with synthesizers or drum machine. All the many amp simulations are also Russians, but overall there is much to find something to meet every need and it is pleasing to the ear.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month and I am generally satisfied. That said I do not make a scene and it is only with a home studio use when entering a mixer.
    I like this between micro that provides additional flexibility and allows you to record very soon we plan in the head or under your fingers. The 2-channel guitar can be more so if one is careful with the choice of models.
    The price quality ratio seems favorable but I did not test all other models of competition. Line 6 simulations seem more realistic than the simulation or MSOC Digitech that I used and they are constantly growing.
    I would do this choice without qualms. An excellent Swiss Army knife, I'd like to test it in live situations when even.

    • USB 2.0 for recording multiple channels on a computer (Wet stereo / dry signal for each input)
    • Up to 9 simultaneous effects per signal chain, depending on routing with pre / post-amp modeling
    • External power adapter included

    All that is impressive in this little bean!
    Perceived quality is clear improvement over the previous version.

    UTILIZATION

    After digesting the user manual and tamed the beast, the use is actually quite simple and intuitive. By against the versatile and require additional features to dive back into the user manual as it is needed (or we remember that it exists).
    But overall the use is well thought out given the size of the object. And via the USB connection, the PC is king.

    A (large) black spot that requires reflection: the pedals. To exploit fully the POD must be added the optional foot switch, with two expression pedals in the ideal. Indeed, turn on / off effects at the base is already very useful. But modulate the effects with expression pedal is a great addition that expands the possibilities of play In addition, the POD offers several models of Wah which is difficult to imagine the use (except in a fixed position) without a pedal (which would pleasure?). There remains the POD X3 Live ... which shows much less mobile (bulky and heavy).

    SOUND QUALITY

    Question modeling and effects, there is something for all tastes. Difficult (or impossible) not to find the sound you are looking. on the other hand, we must seek and experience, sometimes a long time ...
    Quality modeling and effects? The set is a quality bluffing. Of course it is unrealistic to perfectly emulate an all-tube stack with 4x12 cabinet, 50 kilos, with a plastic bean a few pounds. But given the proposed livestock (all legends!) The result is fantastic. If you are a purist and very fortunate, you will be disappointed. But who can compare with 106 amps and 98 pedals?
    I miss him personally stomp (fairly used) not modeled: the Whammy Digitech. Apart from that curiosity, nothing is missing (including the effects we never use or anecdotally).
    In short: that's good but you have to invest time!

    OVERALL OPINION

    What a fantastic little object. Use plugged into an amp, a preamp, headphone, console, ...
    We can all play with and even make experiments difficult (or impossible) to achieve in real life (to connect 2 amps and play with different effects at the same time!)
    As against this, find the defects of his qualities: it is very comprehensive and therefore can be quite tedious to adjust. Not always easy to navigate.

    A big black spot in my opinion: the FBV + optional expression pedal (very expensive) that I find mandatory to enjoy the POD without losing his part nomad.

    The delay, chorus tremolo and so are very clean, many custom settings are controllable ... it works really well .... the 21st century it's cool ..
    Even when I put a small black dot in reverbs that sound cheap .. trs software too .. Natural enough.

    - Which instruments do you use?

    Guitar only ...

    - What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

    no rponse, all gots are in nature.
    The quality of sound is impressive, I used to mock microphone preamp with a lamp, jcm 2000 and taken before the microphones in double body, and although I arrtt to take my head, I'm not saying I will do an album pod ... although ...
    Seeking good, and by plugging a guitar top quality, the sos are clear standards, distos if you just look for a good amp and MODEL that we do not abuse the effects are trs convaicantes ... I took the test to record any securities in a pod and I set strero insert a tube preamp ... on the input channels of the tables .... I swear to you that it wrong ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    15 days

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

    I love the plug and play, I hate the small size of the edit screen ...

I souspconne in some American studio it is not used. on the other hand between adjusting microphones, amps, effects, guitar (Yes it influences with a telecaster and a JS 1200, I have not the same settings.

    The advantage is being able to play everything from Satriani, Van Halen, by the sound of clapton, to BB King, etc ... It is impossible to compare it a bit like the photo pro and pro digital silver,

    I also noticed that you listen to a model made with the POD you are told Wahouuu great sound etc, then you say it's the digital Dupp they feel. So take the POD x3 as a practical tool and very good quality for me far from a ToneLab and a Roland.

    Iznogoud talking about sounds to students, I would like to hear a quality of his recordings, the Roadrunner uses Pod and Meshuggah playing on the digital sound is a sound there are no bad sounds, it reminds me HENDRIX, the time all the world to him reporche amps funds, today it is current.

    OVERALL OPINION

    So the advise I will totally contrary to the below gives a deplorable opinion after trying a friend's camera, and compared the expensive stuff trs. To start the saw nbr countless sounds that can be who owned the first generation POD you need more than a day to begin mastering the beast, I would say that even two years after we are amazed to discover tjrs sons.Niveau of value for money is excellent. In addition to the opportunity to play two sounds in stereo amp can give sound especially thick and used by bcp great guitarists. But in the words of the notice before he practices music entertainment

    But the result with a bunch of boss concert is to have a quality of its own to express themselves when playing a varied repertoire. Of course it's a real amp lamps Always nice, but now home to register with an excellent quality of his is very interresting. I have personal friends in his living room two amps, a lot of pedal, everything has to turn the volume two (at least 3000 euros gear any interest.

    I would say that we can not judge a sound, what a difference a lamp? Different Yes ok but it does say that he is wrong?? Trust your ears and not the jealousy of some who feel betrayed by the technology that is only to enrich our musical palette.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had only 2 days and I have already spent fifteen hours on it ... I am totally satisfied! I bought it in Canada (389 dollars) a lot cheaper than in Europe (400 Euros) and it's a great deal! For those who do home-studio, using Cubase on the PC to the home of self-prod unhurriedly, is the gold bar!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used with Power Amp Peavy Classic 50/50
    baffle and Mesa / Boogie 2 x 12 Celestion Vintage 30

    In conclusion, I used this preamp for a week (c may be too little! ok) 3 half days to do a sound repeated (direct console) + a live concert with my stuff mentioned above, the cool new features but I bring it back tomorrow for a POD or POD Pro 2 that I've used it for 7 years to reach because to do that as easily as a sound with one of these two products c is a little gallery and so much less because too many live paramettres many more opportunities but functions less as the button setting the levels of effect that is more available, must return ds sub menus (not easy in LIVE) and Mutt's tuner that c is no longer the case! So live everyone can hear you tune your guitar and no MIDI pedalboard therefore obliged to buy line6 sbv not cool! and more wha (the pedals) is just too aggressive. j and finally have the impression that the sound sounds a bit like a Flextone 3 A bit Digital ... more saturated sounds mushy and less compact, two pests that a POD or POD PRO even though in such a low inclination there must be a way ...

    UTILIZATION

    For my part, not used to handling this type of product, I have not found its use as simple as that. But after a few manipulations it can be done quickly. I find the manual a bit limited.

    SOUND QUALITY

    It is funny Iznogoud which advises a little lower. He refuses to exchange it for a couple of thousand euros (and, I sold off) of any material against a lamp pod for 3 to 4 hundred euros. How do you mean? Generally, I do not this kind of exchange me either ... Although, after two three days of non stop drink? No, actually not!

    Again become serious matter of seconds, this little machine for someone who does not have huge resources, it's gold bars. Approach the sounds of his idols is still super nice. Get sound blues, metal, pop, variety, reggae, jazz, acoustic, bass, etc ... almost always believable, it's huge! So of course we are still light years of the originals, but the goal is absolutely not to replace them.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Personally, I have for a month. I use it mainly to play at night in my hotel room when I travel, or to register easily. I love the ease with which we get the sound you want is really great!
    I have tried any other model: I did not know this type of product too, I wanted to try. Value / Price? 300 euros for an unlimited number of sounds again very credible electric guitar, electric acoustic guitar, bass, vocals, beat!
    With experience, I think I would do that choice.

    Everyone connate the small red bean Line6, everyone knows what it is, everyone knows what it offers. In short, rehashing what line6 unintelligently offers clear on its website is nothing.

    Dj on the physical aspect, it is cool, red, it makes trs vintage, but it is easy to install an amp on a shoulder of a computer table to the computer music etc.. The buttons look good. For cons, I find the version envisaged line6 "basic" of X3 Manir too restrictive, perhaps so as not to overshadow the X3 and X3 Live pro. Indeed, no XLR outputs, not of Variax, no MIDI for a box stall it rhythm synchronizes with the taptempo pod. In short, I'm tired of.

Indeed, no XLR outputs, not of Variax, no MIDI for a box stall it rhythm synchronizes with the taptempo pod. In short, I'm tired of.

    The sof is not rev it abounds modlisations complicated, effects of all kinds, not too hard to handle, should read the instructions (and again) once to understand the management and Dualtone c ' left.

    Another big point dcevant is the absence of loop or loops to jam. On this point, stay on my hunger.

    UTILIZATION

    In his rle of computer music bote tools, it is great, but I often find it difficult to synchronize my ordis (iMac or netbook) for the management of audio inputs and outputs.

    It is easy to use for anyone who is not too bte.

    Something I'd like to set up, but I would need a ca pdalier (which the passage is unaffordable). It's a place to voice tone1 guiare (or low), and the other song. And not the touch of a switch on the pdalier, change and his guitar and his singing, ideal for a small bridge between two ostinatos. Besides if I could bnficier between the Variax, I free myself from the Casing Power ddi and even synchronize once a modlisation an amp mod Lisati guitar, and radically change its by the touch of a switch. FLEXIBILITY Flexibility and traditional hardware that would not.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I play several instruments, so I exploit fully the potential of the pod. For the guitar, I have a Variax, but I had the opportunity to plug a Cort semi-hollow jazz (big flat shooting son), a Gibson SG '61 rissue, a gibson flyingV, explore a LTD. I plug the pod into a power amplifier transistor and a firm not great. Each time, I released a trs trs sound good, except for the LTD, which had a flat rendering. Active pickups? violin average? I do not know how to explain it.
    I also had the opportunity to plug the pod into a lamp with a good amp cab in Mount clestion (vintage80 I think). No Difference normment of my amp ... I speak honntement are my ears are the only judges, the appearance of pcunier trick is the least of my worries. My verdict is intgre!

    So everything coming out of this beast is amazing. Absolutely fantastic. Make blind tests, and you go to tape more than one! The sound of the Vox AC30 and Orange are my prfrs. The marshall is the bomb, the jazzchorus for clean is terrible. Fender are all singing trs. I do not know the e MODELS original, I can not say whether the modlisations Fidler are, but they sound and I think it's essential. The choice abound, and we can tailor a sound CRER. Possibility dcuple with dual tone!

    Regarding the bass, I have a Warwick $ $ 5c, and I remain a little. Some amps sound good, but the ampeg is modlisation trs average, and that of the mesa idem. I'm not as good as the original MODELS. Still, the bass sounds on offer in not sound, or at least not easily.

    On acoustic, not bad or terrible, or horrible. After all, a sound is dubbed by micro point bar. Possibly a microphone in front of the rose, the pieso in the pod, we gre balance with the dual tone!

    The vocals are not EMDU, it's always fun to stall full effect that would not normally do. The pod we offer them, so why not try, and possibly keep them. To progress in music, one must be curious!

    OVERALL OPINION

    For the price new is the BOMB!

    Cons:
    Not-noon
    -Not of Variax
    -No input / output XLR
    Price-prohibitive pdaliers

    the most:
    -Sound of a multitude of high qualitbr trs />-selection of a range of unusual effects
    FLEXIBILITY-in the use of sounds

    The report is qualitprix normissime: for the 300th, having a sound as good as that of a large lamp. O On the gnashing of teeth of the "purists"!

    Re-what would I choose? Yes, but for the pro version X3. I have a prfre pdalier spar and put my pod away from dbordements of beer in Caf'Conc '.
