  • hi there just wanting to know when using the xlr input can you only use the vocal fx you mentioned or can you still use all the stomp box, amp/cab etc.

  • I can't even program my vcr and you want me to program THIS??

  • botak man

  • which one is better the POD X3 Live or the HD500...?Im need to decide which because I want to buy one...

  • So if I have an opportunity to buy this for 370 dollars, should I go for it?

  • @Seandude223 hell yea!

  • @dare4distance69 Okay, because I'm trying to decide between getting a half stack or this. I'm looking at a Bugera 1990 with the matching 4x12. I saw this and was wondering if I should go for it. I REALLY want the stack, though, because I freaking LOVE to play really loud. Lol

  • I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION I'M BARELY STARTING TO GET INTO PEDAL BOARDS I'VE ALWAYS PLAYED WITH MY SMALL DIGITECH PEDAL BOARD BUT THIS IS ALL NEW TO ME I WAS PLANNING ON BUYING THE LINE 6 POD HD EITHER THE 400 OR 500 BUT I'M ALSO VERY INTERESTED IN THIS ONE WHICH ONE YOU THINK IS BETTER WHICH IS A BETTER OPTION?

  • You sound just like Professor Newman! (The Mask) o.O

  • Your voice like a Petrucci =)

  • WHAT?can you repeatet again

  • @TheShockerX1 But they started to make HD 500... :/

  • How many channels can you switch between at a given time?

  • ▋▋84.817 Tones POD XT LIVE line6 2.0 Pocket X3 STUDIO▋▋

    web --- > myworld.ebay.es/paradisses/

  • that sucks... stupid line 6.... you stopped making live... x 3.

  • I can just plug this into my pc and record?

  • ▋▋▋▋ 5,720 Patchs Line6 POD 2.0 L6T POD xt RAR FILE DOWNLOAD

    search in ebay paradisses User!!! ▋▋▋▋

  • The tone from my Peavey 6505+ would kick this thing right in the ass... TUBES!!

  • Analog stomp boxes are best for live amp/stack stage playing, but this is good for studio playing where the band is all strapped up with headphones to hear eachother digitally..with or without the drummer. Doesn't do jack shit for good high gain amp half stacks, except mess up the tone. If you play on some cheap combo amp it's worse.

  • *shivers* that intro music man...

  • I love you bald man (for the attitud)

  • I've just bought one of these. Fucking incredible bit of kit

  • whats a guitar patch?

  • they really have to make more tube multi effects

  • can u use this as a preamp and plug straight into a cab?

  • @effrainm Yes, you can

  • this is crap

  • haha... you know what? Screw that! We don't want to look at the box! lol

  • ...jump in gain when switching patches... hmmm suppose line 6 could address that? Sounds like a easy firmware fix for a functional issue. Yes I could turn down the effect but that defeats the "live" aspect I would say.

  • I think the GT-10 is better because this pedal has mroe effects and the gt-10 has a better tone.

  • @jangel2771 ehhh gt-10 does have wayyy better effects but pod x3 live has amazingly better modeling tone

  • @guitarsbunch347 not really the gt-10 has a way better tone than this.well their is no such thing as a perfected sound its all from the person who plays it.and each persons taste is different.

  • question, I have an old Randall the famous rg100es. Could I use the Line out from the head into the x3 Live without a cabinet. I sold my 4x12 cabinet and I been wanting to use the line of this amp, I really like sound from it. I haven't used the line Out, If something did happend I have the wiring schematic paper for this Randall.

    I noticed x3 live has many diferent Cabinets plus amps to choose from. This was another eason why I asked,

  • @DALE97DSM You can actually just use the pod on its own. You just plug it into speakers or a PA system and your set.

  • So if I say I'm gonna write a review about this thing....do I get a free one?

  • How much is this?

  • @proguitargamer like 550 canadian thats an average tho i bought mine for 520

  • will this pedal work with any amp? and can it hook up to your computer?

  • @lalakiller54 yes and yes (I suppose it also have an USB out like the XT).

  • can you play this pedal straight through a cab or would u need a head ?

  • @leeshpeeps

    Ull need a poweramp

  • @leeshpeeps

    You'll need a head...

  • boss gt 10 or pod x3 live...im looking for distortion, delay, but more analog soundin'. Studio and live giging principaly. Anyone can help me, pls!!! (i play metal and blues)

  • can we keep 0:56 were ur face is covered thx

  • Dude. Boss ME-70. $200 cheaper. Easier and less complicated programming. And, Boss. Boss makes great things. Check it out

  • @clayandty if boss me70 is anything like the me50 do not buy it lol, I borrowed my friends and a lot of the effects have significant volume differences when using the effects...

  • @clayandty The ME-70 is a piece of shit.

  • WTF Im not gonna play Im just gonna show you a box with some nobs on. This review is sooooooooooooo pointless he made as long as a normal review but didnt show us what it sounded like!

  • The biggest joke are is on the buyer who believes this hype. POD x3 is 2001 vetta technology rehashed and remarketed. There isnt anything innovative about it, the dual amp tones were on the vetta only instead of 78 amps it has 90 so this latest POD still isnt the full blown out pedal version of the vetta, Line 6 is waiting for the x4 to do that. The overall tone is outdated and isnt that much better then the XT. The notes still lack dynamics and sound flat

  • he sounds pissed off lol

  • @raquel1234ful

    probably his last day @ work:P

  • @raquel1234ful He's probably as sick as everyone else is about talking about the damn box and manuals, and not the product :P haha

  • the manual inside pod x3 live's box sucks

  • @devoid555 you're right! i learned more by watching videos

  • neh demasiadas boludeces. a mi dame una buena distorcion blusera y listo. con solo darle un poco de color al sonido basta, ademas se escucha mejor y no tapa tanto los defectos. mucha distorcion ase que el sonido salga sucio y tape casi todos los defectos de cuando uno toca.

  • you guys seen the peavey vypyrs

  • you guys seen the peavey vypyrs

  • POD POD POD POD

  • Digitech RP Series and Nova System blows them all. Line 6 will always sound digital.

  • Comment removed

  • this vid sucks.....

  • mannn....plz answer me.....which one would be better to have.....this Line 6 POD X3 or Digitech RP1000.....and i need it for black-death metal stuff....which one ???!!!

  • x3!!! you ve got much more models and you can make a really wide range of sounds!

  • Comment removed

  • no sea mamón

  • Music isn't about Effects. For better tone , Line 6 Pod X3 Live is the best option. I don't like GT series. They sound thin and fake. X3 Live has too much options. If X3 Live had a tube like Vox tonelab or Zoom g7-g9 , it would be the king of the processors. But Zoom and Vox are cool multifx units too. However I would go with X3 Live this weekend. I hope Line 6 won't push a new product better than X3 Live soon.

  • @intaomri the boss sounds like shit. somebody have heard about the digitech RP-21D? (an old processor launched about 1999). i own one of these, and, excepting for the interactivity with the variax, posses the same functions showed in this video, but it have a tube!. you can run your signal trough a dual preamp with analog distortions and the posibility of configurate the position of the effects. its the mother of this pedal. sounds great if you tweak the eq (cut mids and bosst in 2.5khz)

  • god i fucking hate this guy he destroys everything

  • hey i have a question iv been waiting 2 get answered 4 a while now. which is better the line 6 pod 3x live or the boss gt10?

  • I looked into that recently myself, and the Line 6 Pods are getting much more consistent positive feedback than the GT10. I also looked at forums of people comparing the two and 9/10 people chose the Pod over the GT10. Hope that helps. :)

  • line 6.

  • there alot more user friendly. also there built like a brick shit house!

  • @mrevolutions23 the digitech. read my lines that i've written before to intaomri. i think that with the RP-21, Digitech create the most visionary multieffects with a warmmer sound, that today, ten years after, it's being copyed for flexibility.and the actual series offers a better sound than these or the Boss, wich sounds like a cheap plastic chinese synth. the guy from boss are only good just for one thing: merchandising

  • im in a hardcore band and love effects and this shit is legit the wah effect kicks ass and distortion can sound just like arch enemy

  • or good for U2 type music?

  • better than the m13?

  • this is a great fx unit!!

  • wats better, a load of stomp boxes or this?

  • depends... i play lots of small clubs or just loose acoustic shows, and i use the x3. no amp, no setup horror. plug and play - it's perfect for me. if i had the time (and a car^^) to lug around my head and cab everytime i leave our rehearsalroom, i'd go for stomboxes. or the m13.

  • hey man, i use all anolog equipement but still cant find a kick ass distortion and other fx. is this X3 LIVE really worth it? i play with a gibson sg '61 reissue and a tube marshall, and all anolog pedals. i play music in the 1965-1975 era. is the X3 LIVE worth its price fo me? i live in canada and this pedal is 700$!!!!!!! help please. i know it sounds crazy but all of my anolog pedals are just not cutting it for me.

  • i would say yes. you get amps that emulate amps from that time, also cabs that emulate cabs from that time, you have alot stompboxes to choose from, so im quite sure you can get the tone you want with the x3. if you use that tube amp as final cab, i think you get a REALY nice tone. i play through a marshall valvestate, and i realy like it.

  • $420 on ebay

  • yes, it is. if you've been playing for some time, the modeling touch will feel a little unfamiliar to you in the beginning. playing live it IS the holy grail. horrible sound techs, undersized stages, blown fuses/tubes are no longer a problem. if you'll only be using the stompbox sction of the X3, i'd go for the M13 if i were you. don't pay for something you'll only switch off later - amp modeling in this case. but IF you're open to try the modeling section, then go get an x3!

  • @freaxxx lol very true

  • lol cool

  • aah way too complicated for me.

  • yeah this is complicated but i use gearbox and download the tones from custom library and is so easy

    IM lazy too :p

  • i think sticking with stomp boxes is better lol!

  • by volume do you mean like a whammy pedal or changing from clean to distorted?

  • its a pedal that adjusts the sound volume

  • How can I plug in my guitar through the POD to my AMP. It's driving me craaazy...

  • yes.

  • you plug your guitar in to the input of the pod. you then send a cable from the speaker out of the pod to the input of your amp

  • Do you get pod farm platinum free with this

  • Yes you do. ;)

  • That guy'S fuckin' funny man xD

  • How do I plug My line 6 pod x3 live directly into speakers (ofc cable)? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

  • I'm suffering from the same problem. I plug it in and get nothing.

  • You can't do that man, the pod need get into a power amp although you can try in P.A. system like those used in a pub or live situation they have all you need. Otherwise get a power amp, or guitar amplifier trhought de guitar and PodX3. Sorry for my english i'm mexican ;)

  • get an adapter, but this comment is a month ago, you probably already figured that out

  • screw the manual

  • I couldn't live without my Pod X3. It comes with gearbox and pod farm, by the way.

  • Best thing ever!

  • What software do you need for this? Does it come with software like the POD XT? Or do you need something else?

  • Can use the POD Farm software.

  • Does it come with the POD?

  • I don't have this unit, but I think I read on their website that it's a free download, or that they include a cd key in the box for you to download it free.

  • i got a question. for xmaple can i set channel a as distortion+delay then channel b as chorus+revrb

  • yes

  • GT-10 out plays the x3 in effects but the line 6 has better tonal quality, im view the gt-10 sounds very nice still!!

  • better effects or better tone....

    I'll take tone...

  • I'm not suggesting the x3 wins tonally by a long shot but I am saying its better but not by much!!!

    A Musically untrained ear I dont believe if all presets were same on each unit would be able to tell the difference, but may I add the X3 live's wahs suck really bad I've tried them. The looper is very cool in the GT-10, I still love the GT-10 and believe me it still knows how to rock- just as much as the x3 live

    one last thing the GT-10's tones are alot!!!more tweakable then the x3 live's

  • @gitpa1 Doesn't really apply with today's tech. Just takes time. I'll take versatility any day.

  • @gitpa1 that means that with x3 live you can only choose among effects or tone?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am a sucker for magazine foldouts =P

  • YOU SAID SCREW IT< I'M TELLING lol jk nice pedal

  • GT-10 Rules

  • nahh, play it throo a stack, sucks ass

  • GT10 Simule 1 FSW More In Mode Manual, That POD X3 Live. GT10 1-0 POD

  • X3 live Supports Bass, guitar, and vocals.

    1 - 1

    X3 live have better tonal qualities

    1 - 2

    X3 Live Looks fucking awesome

    1 - 3

  • can you program the delay pedal to activate and deactivate the reverb???

  • this dude reminds me of mclovin from superbad

  • A lot of this is built in to the Line 6 Spider Jam. Great amp. Very underrated.

  • I bought both the gt-10 and x3 and returned my x3. The tone, quality and reliability of the gt-10 is amazing! gt-10 is made out of METAL not plastic like the x3 and BOSS always has better tones! The gt-10 never freezes.

  • kick ass i finally have a good reason to replace my korg ax 30g

    i could do the guitar and vocals for my band and bass and vocals for the side project :-) all i want to know is whats new for 2009 and if it has a metronome and tuner built in....

    i gues mp3 looping thing for training is aking too much but man i'm stoked to get this

  • gearwire videos always load slow for me

  • My POD X3 Live freezed in the middle of a play. It happens twice. The 1st one, i had to re-install the firmware. 2nd time, i had to re-calibrate the vol pedal. Imagine, suddenly no sounds in a middle of a GIG.

    Functions are good overall.

  • dude that gotta suck!.. im considering buying this board but now i doubt it since it is so bad and breaks down for no reason.

  • The features are awesome. But again, because of what happened, i don't feel comfortable using it live in a sensitive gig. So far, it's been ok now, (happened only 3 times). My advice is to read some comments in theLine 6 website.

  • My, that box IS gigantic.

  • why is better in comparison with the xt live

  • Does the Pod x3 Live have looping capabilities?

  • no it does not have any looping capabilities, but if ur looking for a pedal board with looping capabilities go for the boss Gt10.

    the only thing, is the Gt10 is not as powerful compared to the x3 live when playing in a live stage.

  • Why is X3 more powerfull on the stage than GT-10? What does he have, that boss hasn't? I'm buying new multiefect, so i'm asking...

  • i dont have one, but what i could understand is that u can have twu tones at the same time, u can select between guitar bass and vocals, and you can use the two tones at the same time for the guitar...

  • i think x3 has bass and vocal effects and superior tone modeling. mostly a matter of opinion.

  • Gearwire? YOU FUCKING ROCK!!!

  • haha ok

  • do they have it in left footed?

  • oh man, dont tell me you are left handed, theres no left handed pod

  • thats like asking for a left handed pencil...

  • I guess i have no choice then.

  • or you could just stand to the right of it...

  • wait so me and my rhythm guitarist could both plug into this and have seperate tones? is there a way to have the same tone, and then it will switch just me when i play a solo?

  • Thank god they got rid of that black haired guy who was boring as hell, GOD.

  • i know right lol i hated that dude he sucked at guitar too

  • wats the diff between this and the regualr POD X3?

  • this one goes on the floor like a pedalboard. the normal x3 is a kidney bean like the original pod

  • pod x3 basically has all the amp modelling etc, whereas the live part of the pedal is all of the stompboxes and and pedals in the bottom half of the pedalboard

  • Check out the videos from extremevideopro on the X3 if you care to see something that is a bit more objective and useful...

  • damn........i like this guy. he knows that we want to know about the pedal.

  • can i use its effects like a stomp box for my amplifier ?

  • yep. you don't have to use the amp models. hell of a waste though...

  • if your planning to do this get a cheaper version such as boss me-50, that focuses more on effects rather than the amp models.

  • *Selling Line 6 Pod X3 Live* on Ebay! Only 300 bucks. It was originally 500! That means your saving 200! It's mint condition. Seller is called "Maggi59". Please check it out today. thnks :D

  • is gt-10 is better than pod x3

  • most definitely! the zoom gt9.2 tt is much better than the xpod because its software bundle and patch generator are the best bundle software the likes of which people haven't seen uptill now. however a gt10 is better because the zoom is good for distortion but the other effects are much better in gt-10. the gt-10 harmonizer is just out of this world. so if u r looking for distorion than go with zoom combined with boss rc-20 xl looper it would cost same as gt-10

  • p.s a gt-10 is more sexy!

  • Depends on your level of tone recognition. If you're not that bothered about your tone, and being dazzled by a harmonizer is your style, then the GT-10 has a chance. Otherwise not.

  • He's a sick man!!!

  • yay! did gearwire finally fire that atonal basement troll Dan El-Suck-O?

  • between 450-500 euro

  • how much cost this thing in €?

  • have this thing a wha wha?

  • It has 98 different effect models. So I guess yes.

  • yeah it has like 6 or 8 diff models of wah, it have too auto wah

  • yay no more manuals, now a bit more playing on a different guitars on the same item being displayed

    for example

    a marshall amp of watever model, u use an ibanez, gibson and dean on the same amp to see how they sound

  • should i buy this or the

    Zoom G9.2tt?

    the zoom comes with free cubase

    and built in aux in

  • Never tried the zoom but I'll ordered this one and I'm really excited .

  • Blah blah blah...boooooooooooring, play it....lets hear it. You guys are so dry!!!!!

  • would a acoustic guitarist benefit from the pod?

  • probably good use of chorus, reverb EQ n stff

  • hell yeah..! it has like 15 or more presets for acoustic guitars, they wont work for electric guitar because you must use a microphone to make them sound, but answering your question simply, yes it does, look at the original demo video of X3

  • Is it have the Whammy effect (like morellos boss whamy)??

  • that is digitechs thing

  • no thats from Line6

  • no digitech created the first whammy pedal

  • sure man! ^^
