POD X3 review

[Firebird V]

All of the L6 stuff is that way with me. At first i hate it and then I noodle with it for a while and get it to sound really good. I never really liked the POD XTL I had because it did not have the 2 amps and some of the other features that the Vetta has... I ended up in the end with the combo unit that once was yours... lol.

Good news people - Line 6 have released (a) monkey on their main site. You can download it free of charge, allowing you to transfer files to/from your PC. At least that's something.

[Fretburner]

Ahhhh Monkey has always been a free download and has been out for a few years now.

I use Gearbox with my XT and it makes things SO much easier. If I had to edit everything onboard, I wouldn't like nearly as much.

Latest monkey is V 1.21, that has been released now for at least a couple months.

Does this Pod do the 4-cable method? For me, that was part of my decision to purchase a GSP1101. I wanted to be able to have the models or use the preamp section on my F50 and the XT would not let me easily do that.

[S-man]

Agreed.

They missed the boat if they didn't. The ability to move the built in effects loop anywhere in the chain is one of the major advantages of the gt-8.

[sevser]

Since it has two separate engines and the ability to run two riggs... I would think it could be done. Set one for your loop and the other to go into the front...

No.

I think the X3 Live has an effects loop, so it may be possible with the Live, but not the bean.

[DumpyWumpy]

Yeah the X3 Live has the effects loop so I assume it's possible.

[S-man]

Can you move the effects loop in the chain?

Yes.
