I had just about given up on my X3 Live pedal board before finally seeing this video. Now I actually have a much better understanding on navigating through those god awful menus! You are without a doubt an excellent guitar player, really enjoyed your original demo at the end too. Thanks very much for posting this!
Hello Glenn DeLaune, very nice settings that are from now on set up in my POD x3 Live. As a french bass and guitar player, I apreciate very much your help to get some nice attractive sounds. Other settings are welcome in case.... Sakutations
Glenn, I too must say thanks. Line 6 puts these pedals and amps out there without very good tutorials. I was about to lose my hair just trying to setup a patch(preset). You helped me so much! Thanks!
I have new modelers (helix, etc.) but pulled out my old x3 for fun yesterday. Was surprised by how great it sounded. Thought I’d watch some old vids about it. That solo tone was great stuff.
Please keep' em coming. These are the best tutorials. I used the Vai and Hendrix in Church last week. I'm trying these four with tomorrow's sets. In Him, MOHolly
@extremevideopro hey Glen, would this be better than a GT-10 for composing ur own tone and really fiddling with the distortion setting? ....and does this have FX like chorus, flanger, harmonizer and all that, like the BOSS GT-10?
This is Excellent Glenn. Appreciate you taking the time putting this together you are God send. Thanks for your help because I had no idea. But after following your instruction I was able to duplicate what you done. Recommendations. ‐--‐-------'-----''-------------'-------- 😁 But it would be very helpful if you could slow Down as you move between banks and indicated which banks you are changing to. Otherwise excellent.
Wow, I wanted to get an XT Live before, but now that I hear your videos I'm really impressed with the X3. Thanks for this, keep up the good work, you're an amazing guitarrist and great song writer.
Glenn, thanks for the in depth videos on this.... would you believe it, I just got the POD x3 Live for free!!!!! Friend bought it, had it for a week, couldnt tweek it to his liking and put it in his close. It stayed there for like 5 years or something. LOL. He gave it to me. I love it. Bonus. Thanks again Glenn.
wow Glen, I really dig the patches on this demo, its just really groovy smooth. The backing tracks are righteous! The more I listen to your work with the X3, the more I'm likely to buy one!
I just recived the POD X3 live to day from the USA Im soo exited I cant think strait your vidio is a great help in setting the unit up, and getting a good sound I do hope it sounds like yours. thanks. ozzcarandme
thank you!!! I have adjusted your sound and I play the pleasure! Thanks you for that that in detail explain also all show! It very much helps me as I only I do not understand this processor it my the first) I am glad that there are still people ready to help another gratuitously!:) continue in the same spirit!!!! I apologise for the bad English! My native language Russian
Man I wish I could let you have it but that is going to be on an upcoming album that I am working on so I can't release the backing track. Thanks for watching.
Great demostration.¡¡¡¡¡;.... thanks a lot nice work... Glenn!!..what do you recommend for a fender strat mexican guitar with alnico single coin pickups??...you know this sound is very different to humbucker that you use to in this video
hi, i never saw anyone play with a thumb pic?? what u using? i played guitar years but lost finger then sewn back on so i find it hard to use a pic,,,,i tried everything and have been reduced to using no pic at all...if i had one that was attached to finger perm "slipped on" wud help, can u advise on what i need?
hey, great videos btw, but i have a very important question: what are your settings on the amp itself? i have the same exact amp (crate rfx-30) and when i route my line6 into it, it sounds like crap. what are your volume and eq settings to get a good tone?
Hi. I´m thinking about getting me the x3 live but I´m not quite sure. Very important for me would be to have rectiefied distortion sounds (in the sound range of 36 Crazyfists, Rammstein, Isis for example). Can you achieve these kind of sounds with the x3? Is it possible to put the Morpheus Droptune between guitar and x3? Is it possible to put other than line6plug in sounds to the pod? Would be very thankfull for infos! best wishes from Germany
i have an extremely important question. Is tone 2 always the same whereever you switch? example: if i have it on 20A and go to 25A... is tone 2 supposed to be the same?
In general, how to you modify a patch designed to go direct to work with an amp, and vice versa? Is it a matter of switching cab/modeling...different compression...maybe slightly differen eq'ing?
What is that amp in the background ?? CRATE ?? I am looking at a Marshall AVT 275 but also have a Crate VTX 200s in my eyes. Both have STEREO returns, so could I just run my stereo MFX into the Stereo Return to basically just take my MFX sound and amplify it ?
hi. liked you video very much. but i've got a question for you. саn i use my distortion pedal with this processor? i mean, can i turn off the dist in this processor and use my pedal instead? thanx
would you reccomend this? or the line 6 m13?? Maybe formaking lots of effects, and U2 type music... i cant chose between the two. dnt know which to get
could i run the x3 through my 4X12 cabinate with no head just the x3? also how do i set up my amp so i can run the x3 just using the stomp effects and not the amp/cab models...so i basically get my amps tone but with modulation and maybe i can kick in a distortion stomp into the clean setting.
hey glenn whe nu use the pod with an amp, you put the amp on clean channel, but do u then turn down all the knobs down to 0 on the amp like bass middle and treible and all that? exept volume ofc.
Hello Glenn, recently I got a x3l live and I bought yours presets for it, but when I try to import them via line 6 monkey, it says there's a error with them. I have import others presets and I had no problem with them. I cant use yours 😢
Thanks for the hint. I read that the Morpheus Droptune has not the best soundquality in lower tuning (more than 2 steps), but the musical stuff I´m doing combines my normal dropped c tuning and for heavy rythm parts dropped b, so my idea is to use the morpheus to tune down my dropped c guitar. I hope this works better. Have you ever tried this?
Found your videos today. Metallica demo was the first. Your playing is amazing. Curious about the settings on your crate amp. I use a Line 6 Spider III 15, setting controls to mid-level with exception of gain, which is turned down low, and channel volume just under mid-level. No effects on. I was surprised that you use the on-board interface for patches instead of Gearbox. I got my Pod X3 live last week and have only used Gearbox so far. Any advantage to the on-board interface? Thanks.
Im thinking about adding this to my rig, I use a fender hotrod deluxe and a usa fender 52 RI tele, looking for Brad Paisley tone, was wanting to know if this pedal will give me a that boutique amp sound. I was considering saving up and buying a Mesa Boogie, but this is a cheaper route, please let me know soon... any help would be appreciated thanks!
hello again man... i copied this patches and they sounded really good at like normal volume levels.. but when i used them with my band (like really loud) i started having problems with really annoying high freqs and a lot of feedback... has this happened to you?.. there's a video that explains how to fix it (cutting freqs in the eq nad turning amp simulation off) but i don't like the way it sounds when i do that... what would you suggest? anyways thanks again for your videos
hey by the way i have 1 more problem, when i save my tone 2 all other tone 2 presets become that. for example, i save tone 2 as satriani and all the other presets tone 2 are also satriani.
Really good job! Maybe you can give me a hint. I'm trying desperately to get the get Ritchie Blackmores Marshall Major post '74 tone with the X3 - Any suggestions??
Does using the chorus on the lead give it more "air" so to speak? I've tried incorporating chorus into my lead sound with my other stomp boxes before i got my podx3 and it sounded really muddy
hey glenn playing thru a tube amp which pedal sounds better boss gt 10 or pod x3 live? im trying to decide which one i wanna get. great playing by the way!! you rock bro
@BogWraithius yeah that dude is right.. but what u can do i s plug it in durect to the sound board... which i think is better to do instaid of using an amp... for this anyway not for foot pedals
hey man... i'd like to know something about this pedal... well it's just that i have a marshall amp (valvestate) and i really like it's distortion, but sometimes i'd like to have some heavy ass gain too lol.. well the question is if i can hav certain banks or channels or whatever with this pedal in wich you can use you amp's gain and pedal effects in the amp's loop... aand at the same time have other banks with the pedal's distortions and stuff... i'm depending on your answer to buy this pedal
Well they are different animals actually. The M13 has no amp modeling so if you have a good amp that you are happy with and all you need is FX then the M13 would be great. The HD units have all of the amp modeling so they really are designed for direct recording not using a traditional amplifier.
Hi Greg. Do you still use this RUclips Channel ? Your video about tweaking the Line 6 POD X3 really helped me. But I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you can answer for me. 🎸
i buy it last friday i return it today!lol!i dont want spend the rest of my life trying to make a patch!very complex use and not even close the sound of my zoom g9!i try my luck on guitar rig 3 now,may god be with me!!
On every of your videos I learn how to use my X3L. The manual is so badly writen and nothing on there site to help!!! They have nice sound patches but the download is so complcated. I lost all my sounds trying to upgrade once and got very bad sound patches. Most were not usable crap. Sound level varies from very loud to very low! Thanks for showing how to make our own sounds. Very very good guitar playing.
Hi Glen, thanks for this demo. I was thinking of buying one of these (second hand). Is there a way of creating these patches on a computer, rather than going through the menus on the actual device?

@extremevideopro you are so awesome.... i have had this problem since 2 months ago and never knew until you answered my question! THANK YOU
Awesome tutorial and thank you for the licks in the end of the video it showed how nice the pedal sounds
Awesome, great content & great playing.Thanks heaps! 😊
Fantastic tutorial videos.. Absolutely changed my tone for the good. So grateful!!
This is Excellent Glenn. Appreciate you taking the time putting this together you are God send. Thanks for your help because I had no idea.

Cheers Glen. Just what i needed to get ready for Sunday's early church seshon. ;)
thnxx man!!!
yesterday i bought the x3 live, and thanks to you i can make a good clean and lead tone!
Wow, I wanted to get an XT Live before, but now that I hear your videos I'm really impressed with the X3. Thanks for this, keep up the good work, you're an amazing guitarrist and great song writer.
Glenn, thanks for the in depth videos on this.... would you believe it, I just got the POD x3 Live for free!!!!!

+Kendall Lawson Wow that's awesome!! That's a good friend.
Great demo, playing and tutorial as always. You should a youtube award or something! Can't thank you enough!
wow Glen, I really dig the patches on this demo, its just really groovy smooth. The backing tracks are righteous!
The more I listen to your work with the X3, the more I'm likely to buy one!
Great tutorial and all but even more so, Great piece of music!
I'm using a little Crate amp. You can see it in Part 1. This video is Part 2. The pickups are PRS Zebra Bobin #16's.
i am use Ibanez Rg 470 japan with V8 Pickup..give me a setting like this please...
best X3 vids on youtube
I just recived the POD X3 live to day from the USA Im soo exited I cant think strait
your vidio is a great help in setting the unit up, and getting a good sound I do hope it sounds like yours.
thanks.
ozzcarandme
thanks a million! The X3 is on order
Thanks and you too cheerful Christmas!
thank you!!! I have adjusted your sound and I play the pleasure! Thanks you for that that in detail explain also all show!

Thanks so much for these demos. I put all your presets into my new x3 live.
Im playingwith my Gibson les paul and Vox amp, thees settings worked perfect for me! Thanks alot man! Keep it up with more videoes of X3 sounds! :)
Man I wish I could let you have it but that is going to be on an upcoming album that I am working on so I can't release the backing track. Thanks for watching.
Wow, thank you sooo much, really big help on getting me to understand this, and great sound! Lots of talent, love how you play!
The X3-Live is not really that easy to tweak in a live setting on the fly like you would a normal stomp pedal.
Nice Job, great video, Line 6 should hire right now!!!
Wow! That's a PRS Custom 24! Great job with your videos!
Very nice I like the fact that you us a thumb pick.
@extremevideopro dude you are great . thanks for everything.
@Tylermartin7771 you can't change the color, only the contrast. Look in the system settings.
Would this be better than a BOSS GT-10?
Great demostration.¡¡¡¡¡;.... thanks a lot nice work... Glenn!!..what do you recommend for a fender strat mexican guitar with alnico single coin pickups??...you know this sound is very different to humbucker that you use to in this video
Thank you. This is extremely helpful!! Now I can just tweak these patches to taste. Thanks again!
Yes I do sometimes. It depends on what gig I am doing. I play with about 4 different bands right now.
hi, i never saw anyone play with a thumb pic?? what u using? i played guitar years but lost finger then sewn back on so i find it hard to use a pic,,,,i tried everything and have been reduced to using no pic at all...if i had one that was attached to finger perm "slipped on" wud help, can u advise on what i need?
Man you make it look so easy.
For really fluid high-gain leads should I get the X3 or HD? Thx
for me, the x3 its so much better (i got x3 live and hd400, the high gain on hd its shit, x3 so much better)
U think this pedal kills tube sound?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, very well done.
hey, great videos btw, but i have a very important question: what are your settings on the amp itself? i have the same exact amp (crate rfx-30) and when i route my line6 into it, it sounds like crap. what are your volume and eq settings to get a good tone?
Bro, i love all your videos! very informative and absolutely awesome!! :)

i have an extremely important question. Is tone 2 always the same whereever you switch? example: if i have it on 20A and go to 25A... is tone 2 supposed to be the same?
Thank you Glen , U are a super hero .. !
In general, how to you modify a patch designed to go direct to work with an amp, and vice versa? Is it a matter of switching cab/modeling...different compression...maybe slightly differen eq'ing?
Hey. Do you have any tips for me when i want to create a lead patch that's more dreamy? I don't want it to be so much in your face, but a bit distant?
Does it require an amp, or can you plug in some headphones?
Also, does it record with a USB plugged into the comp? or interface
Glenn ,i have watched alot of your videos ,what pod do you think is the best one you have used from the pod x3 live through to the pod hd 500 ?
i have a very noob question can i hook a amp to the pod x3 desktop model and use a fbv pedal as a switchboard to the amp?
great info to have......thanks a million!
I saw your video of Stevie Ray Vaughn's Pride & Joy. Do you have the instructional video to show the setup for that sound?
What is that amp in the background ?? CRATE ??
I am looking at a Marshall AVT 275 but also have a Crate VTX 200s in my eyes.
Both have STEREO returns, so could I just run my stereo MFX into the Stereo Return to basically just take my MFX sound and amplify it ?
this sounds awsome, but what about recording? does the pod x3-live has usb connection and recording software? like ableton live? or smth
hi. liked you video very much. but i've got a question for you. саn i use my distortion pedal with this processor? i mean, can i turn off the dist in this processor and use my pedal instead? thanx
would you reccomend this? or the line 6 m13?? Maybe formaking lots of effects, and U2 type music... i cant chose between the two. dnt know which to get

allright well can u answer me this? wat does the boss gt-10 have over the x3 besides the phrase looper?
can this apply to the hd 500 as well. I have a pod x3 also but i am trying the hd 500 out to see if i can get better tones.
what kind of amp do you have??
hey glenn whe nu use the pod with an amp, you put the amp on clean channel, but do u then turn down all the knobs down to 0 on the amp like bass middle and treible and all that? exept volume ofc.
Pretty good... i like the lead tone,
I like your patches a lot, but I have a question: Would you consider taking patch requests?
can you get two guitars at same time through one POD(X3 Live) if you can...how do you do it? Thanks.
Hello Glenn, recently I got a x3l live and I bought yours presets for it, but when I try to import them via line 6 monkey, it says there's a error with them. I have import others presets and I had no problem with them. I cant use yours 😢
You need Gearbox. You can get that from Line 6
Thanks for the hint. I read that the Morpheus Droptune has not the best soundquality in lower tuning (more than 2 steps), but the musical stuff I´m doing combines my normal dropped c tuning and for heavy rythm parts dropped b, so my idea is to use the morpheus to tune down my dropped c guitar. I hope this works better. Have you ever tried this?
you really did this well...!!!
respect!!..
I will buy this multi-effect board, too!!

hey, i have problems opening the x3m file ( the last file containing all ur patches) what do i do?
what did you do with the Guitar pad and line/amp switches?
hello again man... i copied this patches and they sounded really good at like normal volume levels.. but when i used them with my band (like really loud) i started having problems with really annoying high freqs and a lot of feedback... has this happened to you?.. there's a video that explains how to fix it (cutting freqs in the eq nad turning amp simulation off) but i don't like the way it sounds when i do that... what would you suggest?

@extremevideopro For the money they (line 6) should at least put a sturdy knobs. Which sounds better overall this or GT10?
@TheASBObrown Try turning up the trim knob on the back of the unit.
hey glenn playing thru a tube amp which pedal sounds better boss gt 10 or pod x3 live? im trying to decide which one i wanna get. great playing by the way!! you rock bro
@BogWraithius yeah that dude is right.. but what u can do i s plug it in durect to the sound board... which i think is better to do instaid of using an amp... for this anyway not for foot pedals
very nice and cool but i have a marshall can i used with marshall or i must to used wiht line 6 ?
hey man... i'd like to know something about this pedal... well it's just that i have a marshall amp (valvestate) and i really like it's distortion, but sometimes i'd like to have some heavy ass gain too lol.. well the question is if i can hav certain banks or channels or whatever with this pedal in wich you can use you amp's gain and pedal effects in the amp's loop... aand at the same time have other banks with the pedal's distortions and stuff... i'm depending on your answer to buy this pedal

hey is the amp ur playing thru a Solid state or tube? thx ur vid's are kickass
AWESOME DEMO! THANKS!
im sure a million people ask u for tones but any thoughts on replicating john schaffer's alive from athen's tone (iced earth)?
On every of your videos I learn how to use
my X3L. The manual is so badly writen and
nothing on there site to help!!!
They have nice sound patches but the
download is so complcated.
I lost all my sounds trying to upgrade
once and got very bad sound patches. Most
were not usable crap. Sound level varies
from very loud to very low!
Thanks for showing how to make our own
sounds.
Very very good guitar playing.
What program do you use to make drums??
looking for 12 string and sitar efx can this do it?
hi! does this unit have a looper? if so... how do we use it??
Hi Glen, thanks for this demo. I was thinking of buying one of these (second hand). Is there a way of creating these patches on a computer, rather than going through the menus on the actual device?
yes, try to download "line 6 gearbox" either on line 6.com or search the web. its better than menus and you can save your tones
great work !!!!!!!!!!!!
