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
@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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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!
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
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!
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.
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 :)
@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.
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.
@axeslinger37 That means that his rig "cuts" through more than yours does. That really does come down to the type of distortion and also EQ settings ans speakers too!!. To answer your question I think the 500 is better. Have you ever thought of using your amps distortion and going with a few analog pedals??
@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??
Thanks. Yeah that dog was Heidi. I had her for 16 years. I had to put her down about 4 years ago. That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. getting a new Border Collie pup next month though, finally after 4 years. Her name is Frances and she is now 5 weeks old.
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.
I assumed it was the cameras sound being set to auto rather than him setting the db manually. When he goes quiet for a brief second the camera ups the db of the input volume to try to "find" some audio, and then when he plays something it takes a split second for it to reduce the volume again. Same as when a camera has its focus set to auto it will take a split second to focus in on stuff.
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
@extremevideopro hm i tried and played around with this idea. but i was not able to get rid of the fizz without making it sound dark :| when you boost very narrow in the 5k - 10k area, you can actually find the ugly fizz frequencies and cut them all out. if you cut too much it will become unnatural sounding (even more ahaha) and dark too but cutting like 1.5 - 2 db makes the sound get less fizz and still have presence.
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
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.
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
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🙁
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!!!
@extremevideopro hace poco ya me habia decepcionado de mi podx3 live pero al parecer era mi amplificador (FEnder frontman15g) .Thanks Glen Delaune . I waiting more videos with PODX3Live.
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, 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.
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!
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.
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.
yeah, the thing is jaymz switched amps or used more at least. He uses the mark IIc+ and a few preamps and you could definetly hear how bassy his tone got that it overmasked the bass track. In the black album jason switched basses too so he had more high mids so you could hear him
ok thanks glenn, I was trying to modify the threshold and the gain level on the compressor but I think it is not enough, well I think I'll follow your advices instead. Karl.
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. :)
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.
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.
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
the BEST POD X3 videos on UA-cam!!
@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.
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
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.
Hey there. No I didn't ever get the chance to do patches for the 300.
Thanks for posting this video 16 years ago.
Check your input settings. Make sure that tone2 is set for guitar input
@SoundOfSorrowSOS Sure go for it. If yo don't like it you can always return before the return period is up.
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.
I just watched this again ! Here's a double thumbs up!
Thank you very much. It's old but still relevant!
Well, yes. There are some videos out there that have a really good sound from the XT
@SoundOfSorrowSOS Yes very good clean tones on the Fender amps. Some of the best!!
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.
@ThomasDemko That's Metallica "Through The Never". If you like it you should definitely get Metallica's Black Album.
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.
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.
Make sure the Tone2 volume is on in the system settings.
Thanks Dan
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...
Yes I do. It's in my Custom Artists Patches bundle. Thank you Derren. I did a video on it.
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!
@axeslinger37 The new HD 400 & 500 have that. It's called Pitch glide. I use it to drop to Eb to do Alice In Chains & Stevie Ray covers.
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

i didn't suspect a multi FX to have so convincing tone...great demo, thank you.
@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.
It's just standard E 440 tuning Thomas
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.
no, only on the HD500 can you have the dual amps.
Thanks, this was recorded direct into my computer.
@axeslinger37 That means that his rig "cuts" through more than yours does. That really does come down to the type of distortion and also EQ settings ans speakers too!!. To answer your question I think the 500 is better. Have you ever thought of using your amps distortion and going with a few analog pedals??
This video helps me a lot... I watched it 4 years ago and Ima watch it again and reset my tones haha. Appreciate it!
I didn't know where you were going with this at first, but somehow you did it...that is THE Metallica tone!
Seriously Bub. THANK YOU! Your tone is KILLER, but your eq tips alone are priceless! :-)
@heartburnjay from my website
No I don't but I am working on it so stay tuned.
@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??
Thanks. Yeah that dog was Heidi. I had her for 16 years. I had to put her down about 4 years ago. That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. getting a new Border Collie pup next month though, finally after 4 years. Her name is Frances and she is now 5 weeks old.
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.
@MrLucasserrano I use a thumb pick
That's right. That is how to practice. Start slow and build your way up slowly. That's exactly how I learned to do this.
@Tylermartin7771 no unfortunately it wont work. No you don't need any software unless you want to do some recording. Try Reaper.
Wow, I was awe-struck when you panned them left and right :O Awesome man!
Yes you can
wow. you completely nailed that. sounds just like old Metallica!
I think you can calibrate the pedal. Look into pedal calibration.
That thumb picking is more awesome than anything else in this video! ;)
In my studio I have speakers connected to my computer. When I play live I go right into the PA
Purchased a used X3 live, should have it by the end of the week, cant wait to dial in your settings.
I assumed it was the cameras sound being set to auto rather than him setting the db manually. When he goes quiet for a brief second the camera ups the db of the input volume to try to "find" some audio, and then when he plays something it takes a split second for it to reduce the volume again. Same as when a camera has its focus set to auto it will take a split second to focus in on stuff.
dude your videos are so helpful..i would never be able to get this deep into the settings on my own
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
I have heard that the X3 doesn't do 4CM very good. I've never tried it but people have told me that.
OMG this tone you had was spot on! as close to the original as it can get
@extremevideopro hm i tried and played around with this idea. but i was not able to get rid of the fizz without making it sound dark :| when you boost very narrow in the 5k - 10k area, you can actually find the ugly fizz frequencies and cut them all out. if you cut too much it will become unnatural sounding (even more ahaha) and dark too but cutting like 1.5 - 2 db makes the sound get less fizz and still have presence.
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
Something that has FX loop so you can run the X3Live in the FX loop of the amp.
I use balanced TRS 1/4in. male to XLR male cables.
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.
hallo. You just made a fan here in Portugal. thank you my friend. these sounds will keep me rockin and having fun. very good
I loved this video and your other Pod ones. Please do more tones, we appreciate it :)
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

Excellent and very thorough! Thanks for the step-by-step instructions on how to program. I learned alot!
@extremevideopro hace poco ya me habia decepcionado de mi podx3 live pero al parecer era mi amplificador (FEnder frontman15g) .Thanks Glen Delaune . I waiting more videos with PODX3Live.
I see.. thank you
I must say that I really appreciate your work. Your videos are really useful, and your music is great!
Thanks Glenn. You saved us all a ton of tweaking, which I have a hard time tolerating. Thanks Bother
Yes that's correct. Just the POD
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, 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.
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
And lots more! Like the XLR-out, Variax connector (if you happen to have one) and more.
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!
The Tone is amazing OMG
Sweet, I was skeptical about he sound during creation, but after hearing the final product, I was amazed!
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.

Good trick.
thank you so much, Glenn.
Just picked this piece of awesome machinery up! Thank you for the vids.... really helpful!
amazing Bro ! thanks for sharing this freaking complex set up !
Dude, your vids are primo. You know Line 6 never released an instructional DVD, but you could!
Great work!
Received my X3-live this morning, cant wait to break it out!!!!!
yeah, the thing is jaymz switched amps or used more at least. He uses the mark IIc+ and a few preamps and you could definetly hear how bassy his tone got that it overmasked the bass track. In the black album jason switched basses too so he had more high mids so you could hear him

I just can’t believe that Glen was doing this 13 years ago. I wish I didn’t sell my Pod now haha
LOL, thanks man. Lots of people think it's kinda weird but it's my thing you know?
Sounds great!! I want one
Whoa... Excellent Black Album tone :)
Spot on!
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.
@extremevideopro ill have to try it sometime, it looks really interesting. btw those are some really nice tones.
@666ivica Try the 500 is you get a chance. I think it is capable of this type of sound.
