Wow. This is the first video of yours I ever watched, not long after you released it. I bought an X3L because of this video! Now I have an HD500, also because of your videos. Soon, I'll probably have a Helix because of your videos! Keep it up, Glenn!
Have you tried adjusting the main EQ in the X3Live? What is your output setting? Also you can put an EQ pedal in between the amp & the X3Live. That's what i do when using my Marshall amps because they have too much low end.
Hey Awesome job !!! I just purchased one of these pedals , after using my Korg Ax 1500 G which has done the trick for me for the past 15 years or so !!! Thanks for taking the time to give people a Demo on setting this bad boy up !!!! Thanks again DEv
@Tylermartin7771 You need to go to the Line6 Website and go to the X3 forums. They should be able to answer any questions you might have there. Thanks for watching and good luck.
ah damn dude you are the master of POD X3. any time I feel like I can't get a good tone out of it, your videos prove me wrong and encourage me to keep tweaking!
I did! I just discovered something AMAZING just a few hours ago. I set up your Metallica tone but used just another Line6 Modern High Gain on both tones, and set the distortion to about 70%, and then, in Revalver I set up a slight channel delay of a few ms. It sounds SO much fuller! I am going to post a video of it. I am so proud lmao. Your Metallica tone was a really good starting point, and that eq trick does get rid of a lot of the fizz.
I'll try this thanks. I have had this for ages. Didn't play for a long time but still dont know enough about what all the settings do. Constantly just use presets. Really not making the most of it's capabilites and exploring what is could do because I don't understand it fully🙁
I've been considering a new Spider IV HD150 head (to replace my aged Peavey Supreme 160 head - don't laugh..), or a POD X3-Live (through the Peavey clean channel). You have pretty much sold me on the POD. Thanks for all your effort with these videos. They are extremely informative, and I love that you immediately incorporate some playing to accentuate your points. Extremely well done! Thanks for all your help!
Glen there is no doubt that you have a vast experience with modern musical electronics, as well as amps and guitars. I ve been reading your efforts for a number of years, albeit that I do not subscribe, I do enjoy what you offer the many who do. Thanks for allowing the experience of your years, to educate as well as familiarize those who do not or are not aware of the vast amount of available enhancements as well as the skill that you ve earned for yourself. have a good day.
Well...it's sounds absolutely incredible. You have an excellent ear for tone. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that it was Metallica themselves. Keep 'em coming chief...
Sure you can. In fact I already have created this sound for the HD500. You can download it from my website. I even have a video that demos the sound. Thank you
let me ell you thnk you from the botom of my heart really i was in need of that patch and you give it to me thanks again and keep rocking. everybody who look for a good patchs just go to this site you found it
@Tylermartin7771 You would have to hook your speakers up to the POD. When you hook your X3 to your computer using USB then the X3 essentially becomes your sound card. So the audio goes into your computer from the X3 USB and travels back through USB back into the POD. Got it??
Hi Glenn: I like the way you show the connection of the POD to the audio interface. The sound is natural without any guitar amp influence. Other thing I like in the video is you are with your dog. Dogs are angels between us. Thnak you.
Good job. I just have setted it up and the tone is perfect! I spent my last 30 minutes just playing metallica riffs and grooves. Keep up w/ the good work! Cheers
Thank, I really appreciate the recommendation. I sent an email to line 6 praising your videos. Hope you get some kind of financial reward by them, if you haven't already. Your vids are top notch.
@SoundOfSorrowSOS Yes, the Line6 Modern High Gian model does come with the X3. The X3 is maxed out with all of the amp models that Line6 had up to that point.
Hi Glenn, mine was pan left n right fully...guess i have n9 choice but to tweak tone through the troublesome way. Good thing is, dual tone still works when both tones combined just that don't get to listen to tone2 alone. Anyway, thank you so much for your patience and replies. l love your videos and tones too! Great work!!!
Been looking for the right box to buy for Pro Tools recording... You've helped me make up my mind. Thanks! Your knowledge and playing rocks! Metallica was the first concert I ever went over 18 years ago.
Really authentic recreation. I've found that most of the Line 6 tones sound NOTHING like the song they say they represent, which is actually sad and is underselling the capabilities because you can definitely recreate almost any tone you've ever heard.
Im planning on getting an XT live but figured id check this video out. I learned something from this that would apply to any amp modeling, regardless of the interface that i'd never realized, and that is to cut the highs all the way back on fizzy sounding high gain amps, and then to add it back in with eq. Good trick.
man!!!! the way hit the strings!!!!! awesome, the firs time I see somebody playing heavy stuff with that kind of pick, and you did it really fast.... wow. And well the tone is great. I want a pod x3 live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to get it soon... but I need an amp first, so I thinking in getting a spider jam... and then the pod x3 live.
They are stored in those pedals on the bottom of the device, each pedal contains a fully customizable patch and is activated upon being pressed down, hope it helped :)
Wow these demos are awesome! I was thinking about getting an X3 Live to do a shootout with my Boss GT10 and these pushed me over the edge. They also make me wish I had learned to play with a thumb pick when I was starting out LOL!
Glenn...just purchased your updated patches for the X3L...Some killer sounds folks...seriously. Noticed an error on THIS patch though! On Tone 2 you have the parametric EQ set up a little wonky...it's boosting the highest frequencies instead of cutting them. It's so crunchy!
At the level of music that you are often times playing I can see where this type of set up will offer, once the time and effort is made to pre set the tones and the effects, to offer the listener to a great array of guitar enhancements.
Thank you Chris, well no I did this video to show people how to get this sound by using the controls themselves. But there are many similar to this in my patches. Thanks again Chris.
Nice..: ) Would have never even considered one of these because they seem so complicated. Your video made it seem easy. I would now consider picking one of these up after watching this.
Just put the Metallica, Satriani and Vai patches in my Line 6 Pod X3 that I just got and I have an HD500 on the way as well. Probably gonna have to get a second set of LogiTech speakers so I can use them both split via MXR Black Label Chorus pedal with a Crybaby from Hell and Wylde Phase before the chorus, and the 'dry' signal from the chorus sent to the X3. I have two drives [an OCD clone and a Wylde OD] and MXR Noise Clamp for in front of the HD500 [to save DSP power whenever possible] and then a 15 band 2 channel rack EQ in the loop of both or maybe just the HD500 after the amp/cab but before the 'post' fx, since the EQ on the X3 is pretty good. So to recap: Gtr -> Crybaby from Hell -> Wylde Phase -> wet output -> HD500 -> 15 band EQ ch 1 -> HD500 return -> LogiTech speakers w/ sub Dry output -> X3 [possibly: 15 band EQ ch 2] -> X3 return -> 2nd set of LogiTech Speakers w/ sub Quite a lengthy set up, but I bet it'll sound great. Haven't decided how the speakers will be set up though. I'm thinking either the HD500 speakers will be A and D and X3 speakers will be B and C, or I'll mix them so that HD500 is speakers A and C and X3 is speakers B and D.
If you don't care about the dual tone thing, keep the XT Live There are a few amp models the X3 have the XT doesn't, and you can buy them off the Line6 website in packs
Hi nice tone, you know I'm struggling with my pod x3 live... I have some danelectro FAB pedals (you know, pretty cheap) and i can't even get the pod to sound like them... can you give me any advice on how to get good tone for heavy metal (i own a jackson kelly ke3 with seymour duncan invaders), thank you so much
2:40 - I nearley had a heartattack when you rolled the bass back ( considering we're talking metal tone ). But obviously I dont know shit - Your metal sound kills mine! Great vid
wow man you are really good at getting a killer tone. That tip with the EQ is great I am gonna use that for most of my tones now! I guess I just sucked at dialing in a good tone but this gives me faith in the POD again. :)
One of the best Metallica tones I've ever heard ANYONE dial-in. Killer job!
I get chills everyone I hear him play that, which is once or twice a day.
Just dusted off my x3 live and followed this video. You nailed it. Sounds excellent! Thank you!
I just came to this video by chance. Deffo going to key this tone in
Thanks for posting this video 16 years ago.
Dudeeeeeeee..... that picking technique whit the thumb very incredibly amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Petaling you've got out of that pedal is awesome I think the more amazing thing here is your playing Metallica with your thumb!
Ha Thanks Mark.
Wow. This is the first video of yours I ever watched, not long after you released it. I bought an X3L because of this video! Now I have an HD500, also because of your videos. Soon, I'll probably have a Helix because of your videos! Keep it up, Glenn!
Got the Helix, had to RMA on day one, never got to play it! I can't wait till I get it back.
I just watched this again ! Here's a double thumbs up!
Thank you very much. It's old but still relevant!
the BEST POD X3 videos on RUclips!!
Have you tried adjusting the main EQ in the X3Live? What is your output setting? Also you can put an EQ pedal in between the amp & the X3Live. That's what i do when using my Marshall amps because they have too much low end.

This video helps me a lot... I watched it 4 years ago and Ima watch it again and reset my tones haha. Appreciate it!
ah damn dude you are the master of POD X3. any time I feel like I can't get a good tone out of it, your videos prove me wrong and encourage me to keep tweaking!
i didn't suspect a multi FX to have so convincing tone...great demo, thank you.
I did! I just discovered something AMAZING just a few hours ago. I set up your Metallica tone but used just another Line6 Modern High Gain on both tones, and set the distortion to about 70%, and then, in Revalver I set up a slight channel delay of a few ms. It sounds SO much fuller! I am going to post a video of it. I am so proud lmao. Your Metallica tone was a really good starting point, and that eq trick does get rid of a lot of the fizz.
Seriously Bub. THANK YOU! Your tone is KILLER, but your eq tips alone are priceless! :-)
I'll try this thanks. I have had this for ages. Didn't play for a long time but still dont know enough about what all the settings do. Constantly just use presets. Really not making the most of it's capabilites and exploring what is could do because I don't understand it fully🙁

hallo. You just made a fan here in Portugal. thank you my friend. these sounds will keep me rockin and having fun. very good
Old video but once again yoy have a gift for making good tones out of any rig
Fantastic job man. Your video has been good to help me with my new LINE 6 X3 LIVE.
Cheers from Spain
wow. you completely nailed that. sounds just like old Metallica!
dude your videos are so helpful..i would never be able to get this deep into the settings on my own
Wow, I was awe-struck when you panned them left and right :O Awesome man!
let me ell you thnk you from the botom of my heart really i was in need of that patch and you give it to me thanks again and keep rocking. everybody who look for a good patchs just go to this site you found it
I loved this video and your other Pod ones. Please do more tones, we appreciate it :)
Excellent and very thorough! Thanks for the step-by-step instructions on how to program. I learned alot!
Received my X3-live this morning, cant wait to break it out!!!!!
I didn't know where you were going with this at first, but somehow you did it...that is THE Metallica tone!
Just picked this piece of awesome machinery up! Thank you for the vids.... really helpful!
@Tylermartin7771 You would have to hook your speakers up to the POD. When you hook your X3 to your computer using USB then the X3 essentially becomes your sound card. So the audio goes into your computer from the X3 USB and travels back through USB back into the POD. Got it??

That thumb picking is more awesome than anything else in this video! ;)
Thanks Glenn. You saved us all a ton of tweaking, which I have a hard time tolerating. Thanks Bother
I see.. thank you
I must say that I really appreciate your work. Your videos are really useful, and your music is great!
Good job. I just have setted it up and the tone is perfect! I spent my last 30 minutes just playing metallica riffs and grooves. Keep up w/ the good work! Cheers
Thanks for the Video. Love the sound on my POD now.
amazing Bro ! thanks for sharing this freaking complex set up !
Thank, I really appreciate the recommendation.
I sent an email to line 6 praising your videos. Hope you get some kind of financial reward by them, if you haven't already. Your vids are top notch.
thank you so much, Glenn.
Greeeeat job once again, man! thanks
Thanks i didnt really look through the manual and i eventually found out on my own
thanks man you safe my life.......i don knew how used my x3 live thanks again
Man, that sounds totally sweet.
The Tone is amazing OMG
Hey there. No I didn't ever get the chance to do patches for the 300.
@SoundOfSorrowSOS Yes, the Line6 Modern High Gian model does come with the X3. The X3 is maxed out with all of the amp models that Line6 had up to that point.
Dat thumb is way too strong
great sound!! you've helped me out as i am seeking an improved sound out of my line 6 x3 live. :) thanks!!!
Wow I just bought the x3 live because of this!!!!!!!!!!! WOW
sweet... thanks for showing how to get that awesome tonality!
Hi Glenn, mine was pan left n right fully...guess i have n9 choice but to tweak tone through the troublesome way. Good thing is, dual tone still works when both tones combined just that don't get to listen to tone2 alone. Anyway, thank you so much for your patience and replies. l love your videos and tones too! Great work!!!
OMG this tone you had was spot on! as close to the original as it can get
Been looking for the right box to buy for Pro Tools recording... You've helped me make up my mind. Thanks! Your knowledge and playing rocks! Metallica was the first concert I ever went over 18 years ago.
Really authentic recreation. I've found that most of the Line 6 tones sound NOTHING like the song they say they represent, which is actually sad and is underselling the capabilities because you can definitely recreate almost any tone you've ever heard.
Sweet, I was skeptical about he sound during creation, but after hearing the final product, I was amazed!
Excellent work man...excellent indeed.
Im planning on getting an XT live but figured id check this video out. I learned something from this that would apply to any amp modeling, regardless of the interface that i'd never realized, and that is to cut the highs all the way back on fizzy sounding high gain amps, and then to add it back in with eq. Good trick.
man!!!! the way hit the strings!!!!! awesome, the firs time I see somebody playing heavy stuff with that kind of pick, and you did it really fast.... wow.
And well the tone is great. I want a pod x3 live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to get it soon... but I need an amp first, so I thinking in getting a spider jam... and then the pod x3 live.
Great tone. Thanx for sharing!
Loved that tone just heavy rockin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awsome, can't wait to get mine.
Sounds great!! I want one
Purchased a used X3 live, should have it by the end of the week, cant wait to dial in your settings.
NICE SOUND! Really feel the metallica vibe!
They are stored in those pedals on the bottom of the device, each pedal contains a fully customizable patch and is activated upon being pressed down, hope it helped :)
I just can’t believe that Glen was doing this 13 years ago. I wish I didn’t sell my Pod now haha
Wow these demos are awesome! I was thinking about getting an X3 Live to do a shootout with my Boss GT10 and these pushed me over the edge. They also make me wish I had learned to play with a thumb pick when I was starting out LOL!
Whoa... Excellent Black Album tone :)
Spot on!
Glenn...just purchased your updated patches for the X3L...Some killer sounds folks...seriously.
Noticed an error on THIS patch though!
On Tone 2 you have the parametric EQ set up a little wonky...it's boosting the highest frequencies instead of cutting them.
It's so crunchy!
I know its ancient but I love the tones possible so i picked one. Up. On reverb
@SoundOfSorrowSOS Sure go for it. If yo don't like it you can always return before the return period is up.
Thanks, this was recorded direct into my computer.
totally awesome. you are a true profesional man. thanks for the tones!
Thanks Dan
Wow that is accurate!
wow, I know it's old but, that is awesome Glenn
Check your input settings. Make sure that tone2 is set for guitar input
At the level of music that you are often times playing I can see where this type of set up will offer, once the time and effort is made to pre set the tones and the effects, to offer the listener to a great array of guitar enhancements.
Thank you Chris, well no I did this video to show people how to get this sound by using the controls themselves. But there are many similar to this in my patches. Thanks again Chris.
amazing sound.
bloody a great sound..thank you Sir.....
Glenn, your the man!!! Thank you.
Nice..: )
Would have never even considered one of these because they seem so complicated. Your video made it seem easy. I would now consider picking one of these up after watching this.
Just put the Metallica, Satriani and Vai patches in my Line 6 Pod X3 that I just got and I have an HD500 on the way as well.

So to recap:
Gtr -> Crybaby from Hell -> Wylde Phase -> wet output -> HD500 -> 15 band EQ ch 1 -> HD500 return -> LogiTech speakers w/ sub
Dry output -> X3 [possibly: 15 band EQ ch 2] -> X3 return -> 2nd set of LogiTech Speakers w/ sub
Quite a lengthy set up, but I bet it'll sound great. Haven't decided how the speakers will be set up though. I'm thinking either the HD500 speakers will be A and D and X3 speakers will be B and C, or I'll mix them so that HD500 is speakers A and C and X3 is speakers B and D.
If you don't care about the dual tone thing, keep the XT Live
There are a few amp models the X3 have the XT doesn't, and you can buy them off the Line6 website in packs
Yes that's correct, in those cases where you are going mono into a PA or amp you don't need dual tones and leave the pan straight up center.
Yes I do. It's in my Custom Artists Patches bundle. Thank you Derren. I did a video on it.
@extremevideopro
thank u so much for the fast reply :)
keep the good work
cheers
Hi nice tone, you know I'm struggling with my pod x3 live... I have some danelectro FAB pedals (you know, pretty cheap) and i can't even get the pod to sound like them... can you give me any advice on how to get good tone for heavy metal (i own a jackson kelly ke3 with seymour duncan invaders), thank you so much
I truly wish Glen did something on the Vetta 2 head, I'm having some issues.
2:40 - I nearley had a heartattack when you rolled the bass back ( considering we're talking metal tone ). But obviously I dont know shit - Your metal sound kills mine! Great vid
followed this almost to the letter, decreased the delay a tad more, and it sounds perfect!
wow man you are really good at getting a killer tone. That tip with the EQ is great I am gonna use that for most of my tones now! I guess I just sucked at dialing in a good tone but this gives me faith in the POD again. :)
AWESOME TONE!
Absolutely Awesome!
