Trying out my POD X3 Live

Ah, I get it. That works. I don't really use a lot of different tones/effects live, maybe 6 or 7 presets but I like to go to the next tune pretty quick.

[TheNeonRabbit]

Very helpful. Thanks. How easy is it to switch between presets on the fly with this thing? Can you tweak and save your own presets then easily access them quickly while playing?

[mindwalkr]

@TheNeonRabbit yup! You can program your own patches and store them in banks and then access them with the footswitches.

It works a bit like a roulette:you have 1 line with 4 presets,each preset has its own button on the pedal board. Then if you press and additional 5th or 6th button (you can go up or down to the next roulette of 4) and then again the same 4 buttons bring the different patches in that next roulette. Then it's up to you how to better organize this.never used this live tho

[joachimekstrom]

you buyed a line6 pod x3 live, and just do barré chords?

tsssssssssssss

[mindwalkr]

course man, out of my hat trick I can also play the happy birthday song and creep which consists of 3 chords (it didn't stop it from being one of the most popular songs ever of the 90s)

but if you look closely, I'm not playing only barre chords. also this was just an idea for something more, and I also have other videos recorded with the pod that maybe you'll find more challenging that playing barre chords :)

cheers

[bianchiniman]

dude we have the same guitar. does yours have a nice feeling neck to. i was surprised on how good the neck felt on mine

[mindwalkr]

hey! Yeah it feels pretty nice however recently I got another ibanez 24 frets neckthrough and it feels even better!! ;)

I once tried a Les Paul and the neck felt so weird.. I was so used to the Ibanez thinner neck..

[exone46]

Eh netjes man, got to love the pod x3 live!

keep on rocking man groetjes uit belgië

[feenybro]

nice one, keep it up

[knesje]

Mag ik je handtekening?

(Shame on you, still nog speaking Dutch!!)

[mindwalkr]

Waar kan ik mijn handtekening plaatsen ?

Anyway this video kinda sucks and I'm gonna remove it sometime soon! :)

[TecktoManiac74]

cant say that you rock tbh^^ turn off that useless effect on the background. you play better without it. nice chords but setup your amp correctly. If you play good you dont need any effects, turn them off and play

[chriswtburke]

yes, the effect he's using isnt so great, however, the best guitarists in the world use effects... so people who have read his comments about "if you play good you dont need effects" dont listen.. its bull

[joshpick18]

Angus Young doesnt use effects.... hes one of the best guitarists out there. youre bull....

[chriswtburke]

^^ Douche Bag

[SevenDayRiot]

last time i checked distortion was an effect.

[mindwalkr]

Effects won't make a crap guitarist sound good. Articulation, picking accuracy and feel must still be there.

Effects should be used when needed.. if you want a big sound you need some effects.. for instance David Gilmour can play the Money solos with almost no effects and having it sound great. On the other hand for some other situations the delay and reverb will come handy to make the sound fill in the spectrum more.

But yep in a strumming way of playing delay isn't the best effect to have

[AhKillYu]

@SevenDayRiot angus uses overdrive by increasing gain on his tube amp, not distortion and i do believe -gain- isnt necessarily an effect.

[chriswtburke]

congrats, you picked 1 guitarist that doesnt use effects... people like Clapton even use effects, so, don't be a douche bag

[joshpick18]

yeah i know... okay. Angus is my idol so I guess its just natural for me to think of him about that kind of stuff. but yeah i wasnt trying to be a douche...

[jordanzio]

and he also plays a pretty basic no frills style. there's nothing wrong with using effects tastefully. and also- he is definitely not one of the best guitarists out there- not even close

[Pupichek]

WOW! :)

[engenheirotorpedo]

You rock! :D

[mindwalkr]

Thanks mr. torpedo!! ;)

[engenheirotorpedo]

You rock! :D
