Hey, I tried to write a POD XT/X3 guide on this forum but then relised it was too big of a project for how much time I had.
This thread is here for anyone to ask ANYTHING about the POD XT/X3. I know quite alot about the POD XT/X3 due to practicing, gigging and recording (guitars/bass/vocals) with it. Anything I cant answer i'm sure someone else will know. Here is a link to the old thread I made which includes a list of all the POD XT models: The Guitarists Guide To The POD XT Live If you have any questions about the POD XT/X3, this is the place to post them.

QUOTE As an ex podder I'm really interested in how the new X3 sounds compared to the old XT. The main reason I gave away my XT was because I never was really satisfied with the sounds I could get out of it, especially when I tried for more dynamic sounds. From what I've read the X3 is a total revision of the hardware so I'm really curious about how it sounds. weeeeell. there are differences in the sounds of the X3, the ability to change the order of your setup (delay>volume>reverb>wah>etc) is a great addition (the XT only allowed a couple of things to be changed). I could record the same patch on the XT and X3 if you wanted and upload them, but to be honest there wouldnt be a great difference as it wouldnt be taking advantage of the new features involved. The BEST feature on the X3 is the ability to use 2 different settings at the same time with the added option of outputting them through 2 seperate outputs. It gives the X3 so much more versatility. -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups. Size 11 Strings.

im not quite sure what you mean. but im guessing that your trying to record with a microphone plugged into your X3 using the microphone preamps.
if thats the case then the master volume and the effect volume can both make a difference. if both of these are turned up then there is also a way to increase the dB (this can go + or - depending on what your wanting) if you could explain your problem a little better then i may be able to help. another thing that would help would be to know if you have the Live version or the normal version Cheers Chris -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

QUOTE I have the podxt and I was just wondering if the podxt 3 already has any kind of upgradeable model packs like the podxt?? it has the model packs built in and more. theres no need to buy any addon packs and Line 6 have said they dont plan on making any for the X3. the list of amps/cabs/effects can be found Here the X3 includes bass models and Mic preamps aswell as the guitar models. -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

QUOTE I think my x3 broke... :/ When recording a synth effect is on but on low volume.. Kind of like only the reverb for the actual syntheffect.. And the same when I have my phones on... However, on line out/live out there is not of that... So i can play with amp but not with phones / record stuff.... The syntheffect like when you hit a note it plays like a synthmelody... sort of... it´s on all the presets. It couldn´t be I hit some buttons acidently right? since it´s not sounding on live out... right? well, im guessing what youve done is changed the settings on the output. check that either of the tones arent on "Mute" or that youve got them sending to the left or right outputs (unless your using both outputs) -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

QUOTE I don´t think I did that. Why would a "broken" synthmodule be playing even with silence from the guitar on all presets. And only thru USB and headphones. Not thru speakers. biggrin.gif weird... Anyhow I reinstalled all that can be done and after that it was okay again. It took 2-3 times of flashing the memory until it was good though. so its all fixed now then? QUOTE What is the best way of getting good sound with Pod X3 when recording? - just plug the pod to the pc and record or -plug it through an external sound card, audio control 1 for my case this depends on all the equipment you have. if your sound card is a proffessional sound card then thats probably the best way to go. but the USB works fine either way. trial and error is the best way to find these things out -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

well, you can download the POD XT patches and send them to you X3 via Line6 Monkey. but at the moment there isnt a way to download patches straight to your X3. you have to download the patch to your computer then send the patch to the X3 through line 6 monkey.
Line 6 have said they have plans for some sort of download mechanism for the X3 but its nowhere near done yet. -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

ok, i have had a quick scan through the Line6 forums and heres the answers i have come up with.
PROBLEM if your computer is running USB1.0 it wont work (i doubt it if you have a fairly new computer) SOLUTION try get a USB1.0-USB2.0 convertor PROBLEM you are connecting throught a USB1.0 hub SOLUTION to test if your connecting through a 1.0 hub, try plugging straight into the computer. if it works, get a USB2.0 hub. ALSO make sure your using a USB2.0 cable, just use the one out of the box PROBLEM You are running a windows 64-bit operating system, sometimes the drivers dont work with this. SOLUTION i have no idea PROBLEM Line6 Monkey not up to date SOLUTION get the latest one PROBLEM the POD X3 flash drives arent updated SOLUTION get them updated via line6 money... however i cant see this being a viable option due to the fact you cant connect to line 6 monkey. just thought i'd put this here just incase This post has been edited by muntahunta: Dec 28 2007, 01:46 PM -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.
