0:56 Fail...

[CREARTEJOYAS]

hola no entiendo muy bien este video, debo agregar en un tono un ampli y en el otro tono otro ampli? y establecer el pedal de expresion y listo? hace falta alguna otra cosa?

[line6movies]

@CREARTEJOYAS Yes. You need to create a dual tone on the X3 Live and use the expression pedal to morph or blend the models back and forth.

[thescowlingschnauzer]

Now that the X3 Live is no longer in production, are there any other products that can be used for amp morphing? I was very interested in gradual changes from one amp sound to another thru a expression pedal, and I can't find word for it but "amp morphing" which appears to be exclusive to Line6.

[line6movies]

@thescowlingschnauzer The POD HD500 supports dual tones and will allow you to do this.

[iluvs2sk8]

wow thats impressive what the pod x3 can do

[MaxNokos]

when im playing the clean part i always can hear the distortion in the background.

whats the problem?

[line6movies]

@MaxNokos Hi, Line 6 Support will be able to advise on this, you can reach them at line6 website (line6 dot com /support) Thanks.

[MaxNokos]

@line6movies okay thx but in the meantime i managed the problem ;)

[PepeElizondo88]

@MaxNokos you need to calibrate your volume pedal, its on the tutorial on line6.com

[dragonzith]

BIG BOTTOM BITCH!!! seriously some Line 6 need to mare a real Amp based on this

[dRaK0RaMone]

Only X3? Could it be posiible in a Pod Xt Live?

[line6movies]

@dRaK0RaMone This is an X3 feature only due to the dual tone feature that the X3 sports.

[QuotidianHegemony]

@dRaK0RaMone If you have two of them haha.

[kiwiboyriff]

Nice vids dude. I see you have an x3 live going to a Spider Valve 212. Can you explain how you patched this with your amp settings? I'm not overly happy with what i get from through amp vs headphones. Also re gigs would you mic the amp or use the direct out feature with amp monitor? Thanks.

[line6movies]

@kiwiboyriff I'm not sure how Kevin set this up. I can try to see if he remembers, but in regards to micing or direct to PA I'd actually recommend direct to PA from XLR outs as well as 1/4" Live outs from the POD into his amp on stage for stage monitoring purposes.

[mariosapm]

Does this capability allow you to use the same amp model in two different extreme settings (full gain, low gain)? Does it morph patches or amp models that is...

You failed to demonstrate how it works in the inbetween tones. You had the pedal either full way up or down... I didn't hear the morphing really... You used it more like a footswitch and changed your tone quickly.

[line6movies]

@mariosapm This actually morphs amp models within a dual tone patch. The models can be the same (just dialed in differently) or completely different all together.

[mariosapm]

@line6movies I see! thanks. If only I could see how it works within 2 extreme settings of the same amp... Guess I'll just have to buy an X3 to try it out... It looks like a decent unit, but I can't really see how the actual tone per se has improved significantly over my toneport or the pod xt...

[vangas]

Your demonstration is pretty good and it stimulates my imagination to try some new tricks with my POD X3. Well done!

Could you do something where you use the vocoder?

[wsjunior]

Please, now show the magic to use 3 different modulations at the same time and also how to get a descent octave, harmonizer and whammy sound like. Am I asking the impossible? Thanks.

[line6movies]

@wsjunior You cannot have 3 modulation effects active at once.

[Chessguitar]

Why does everybody in the USA makes video's in his shorts?

[line6movies]

@Chessguitar I don't know about the rest of US, but here in Los Angeles, the temperature is usually very warm and majority of the time sunny out :)

[clutchchuck]

damn that big bottom sound is very nice

[guitar1309]

you are a genius, thanx, this will help me alot in switching amps and getting more or less effect gain and tone

[rahulrumalla]

Dude, this is a brilliant technique! Very handy !

[bipolarbear45]

when hes using that clean tone it sounds like the beginning of a foo fighters song

[simonsheppard92]

If I got a pod, would I be able to plug it straight into my amp and then plug my guitar into the pod? I'm new to this. I'm buying my first gig amp probably a Marshall, and just want to know how to set up a pod with my amp, any help would be appreciated thank you :)

[EnvyInc]

Yes, you can plug this straight into an amp. That's how I have it set up, straight into either a Valve Jr or a Fender Frontman 25R. Set the "Live Out Level" switch to "Amp" and you're set to go. You can even send the output to two amps at the same time, as the POD X3 Live has two separate mono outputs for left and right, and you can send different modeled signal chains to each of them.

[slicer789]

the way he's using it in this video is kinda like A/B switching between two amps, which is kool. It would've been even cooler though if he would've blended the tones abit more :P

[rvx7b]

It would be a very good example if he was playing when doing the morphing... Doing that you can do a mixing...like Dan Donegan does in Voices Intro changing from a Phaser to a Very heavy distortion sound....LINE 6 it's amazing....

[KevinDukes]

i think so. should be the same set up.

[tony93666]

that's awesome! I had no idea it could do this... but I have the desktop POD X3, so... I could do this with the FBV Express pedal too, right?

go Line 6!
