The Flagship POD that's Ideal for Stage and Studio!

The Line 6 POD X3 Live guitar multi-effects interface puts the power of the POD X3 into a stage-worthy box, complete with 12 footswitches, expression pedal, and easy-to-reach knobs. The sturdy POD X3 Live lets you play through two amp and effects chains at the same time, giving you amazing tonal options. Plus, dual inputs allow you to use two instruments (or a mic and an instrument) at the same time, routed to two independent signal chains. Fully loaded with over 100 amp and cab models, plus over 90 effects and several preamp models, POD X3 Live is a stage-ready essential!

Line 6 POD X3 Live Guitar Multi-effects Interface at a Glance:
  • Incredible array of amp, cab, effects, and preamp models
  • Two independent modeling and routing chains
  • A stage-ready POD

Incredible array of amp, cab, effects, and preamp models
Guitar amp models are just the beginning: with guitar cabs, stompbox and studio effects, bass amps, bass cabs and vocal preamps, POD X3 Live comes complete with the all-around sonic firepower of a top-tier major-label studio, ready to tackle guitar, bass vocals and beyond. What's more, its larger LCD and smart new editing workflow pages make it easier than ever to find, tweak and save tones.

Two independent modeling and routing chains
POD X3 Live also offers powerful new dual tone modeling and routing options. Split your single-input guitar or bass signal through two different amp and effect chains simultaneously to create gorgeous new hybrids, or use the X3 Live's dual inputs to individually process two instruments-a microphone and a guitar, for example-at the same time. Whether you're playing through a P.A., amp or recording rig, plug your microphone into the XLR input to make vocals and acoustic guitars sound their absolute best.

A stage-ready POD
Though it shares its formidable internal features with the desktop POD X3, Line 6 built the POD X3 Live to be able to take the rigors of the stage, night after night. This rugged floor unit gives you an expression pedal, 12 footswitches, and knobs that are easy to get to and tweak. It's all housed in a sturdy aluminum enclosure. The POD Live X3 comes loaded with every model available for POD including bass models, a Variax input, USB, and S/PDIF out.

Line 6 POD X3 Live Guitar Multi-effects Interface Features:
  • Allows playing/recording two sources at once through independent signal chains

I have to admit that I was a little bit skeptical about modeling. I mean, how could digital anything sound as good as plugging into a Marshall, Vox, Fender (insert your favorite here), amp. Plus, this... read more

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
I love the fact that you can chain two amp models together with this POD. You can even chain a bass amp with a guitar amp if you want. The presets in this unit are dead on! You will be playing your favorite songs with all of the right tones out of the box.
AJ Petersen
Line 6 has done it! They have successfully created an all-in-one unit for the live performer. With the new capabilities, allowing you to process not only guitars, but also basses and vocals, this box is a must-have for all live musicians.
Justin Fairfax
The POD X3 Live takes it to a whole new level. Just plug in and rock some presets or deck out your dream rig! The perfect way to get hundreds of old amps and cabs at your fingertips. Combine that with all the stompboxes and signal routing options and you have an all-in-one solution live or in the studio.

Pod X3 Live Does Vocals like the big boys toys

This product takes a while to learn, you have to know "Sound" things or learn them along the way. But it teaches you things too. I've been using this for my vocals for over 2 years now and it beats ev... read more [+]erything hands down. cost+function = real value.

You can re-create very expensive specific tones and effects like the fabled ones that at one time cost 50,000 or more with the dual tone option.

I am a scientist as well which allows me a unique perspective one that dictates function and form through qualitative and quantitative analysis. I rate this product a solid 5 stars for what it can do in live and recording sessions.

A word to the wise though- get a really flat sounding set of headphones to make your tones sound as great live as they do at home.

If I had any complaint it would be the lack of a training video in dialing in tones either offered on the website or included with the product. You can find these on www.youtube.com I suggest you watch them and the product will be easier to understand.
