Line 6 PODxt tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2018
- I love this multi effects unit, the sounds are superb. But the operating system is a little bit clunky and certainly not intuitive. I can totally forgive Line 6 for that, but it did prompt me to put together a short tutorial.
This video made me even more aware of what I dont know when it comes to sound production lol
I've had one of these since new. It was confusing then and its still confusing now lol all these pre that, amp this, cabinet that. I miss just stomping on a pedal that had dials i adjusted but I'd like to master this contraption one day!
Just bought one second hand, and you've got me up and running straight away. Thanks, nice job mate.
Thanks KA, glad you liked it!
Thanks for this Gearfacts. I've had a PodXT Live for over a decade and I have lived in the safe space of my favorite patches, but after recently watching a number of pedal board walk throughs with my guitar idol Paul Gilbert and seeing how much he accomplishes with just 7 pedals, I know that the mighty PodXT Live can basically accomplish the same things. So now I am finally diving into Line6 Edit and learning better how to experiment with the board. This video helped explain a few hidden gems like the Mod before/after setting (GOLD!). Thanks again!
Great to receive your comment, BB - thank you!
This has saved me hours of anguish, thank you.
Awesome, cheers :)
Thanks! Good on ya! You really cleared up a lot of hesitations that kept me from exploring.
Glad I could help!
I rediscovered the XT Pods recently. I had shelled out $700 when they were new for the bean and the Shortboard. Moved onto tubes for quite awhile after that and sold the gear. Caught a XT Live at GC for $120 and couldn't resist. I remember the deep editing haze I would get but after some time the tones and over all package is still impressive. For me its a grab and go Di'd into the pa most time. I lucked out and have the FX Junkie pack but no Metal or Classic packs. also no way too purchase them I guess. Great tutorial and thanks.
Your tutorial was top notch. Thanks Glynn.😊👍Btw I still have your line 6 spider jam I bought from you a few years ago.I love it.
Ah cool man, that's great to hear! Yes I think the Spider Jam is one of the classics, though not for the reasons most people think about when it comes to guitar amps. It's the incredible versatility that makes it great. I ended up getting that small Fender Mustang amp that I reviewed at DW Music a couple of years ago. The amp snobs would laugh, I know, but it ticks all my boxes :)
Just got one, still learning how to use it
This video was very helpful, thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much man, this is exactly what I needed and it was so easy to follow
Wow I'm really glad. Thanks Max :)
Sir, we appreciate your work that you have put in this video, just to help strangers. :-)
So nice of you :) cheers!
I got one of these that ive not used to 8 or so years, ao seeing this was a god send of a quick reminder of how it works!
I just picked one of these up, and would also like to add that the usb can connect to your computer with Line 6 Gearbox/PodFarm2 to make and add many more sounds to the custom banks!
Great tip!
I have TWO of these. They're great sounding pedals and they're easy to operate once you get the hang of it. Perfect for a cover band! I have all my songs set up in different banks. It's super convenient. Hook a Variax 500 or 700 guitar up (like I do) and you've got everything from gorgeous Martin acoustic guitar tones to 25 other guitars from Fender, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker. The pedal does all the guitar/amp/fx switching for you. I can play all the great classic rock songs that have acoustic guitar intros and wailing solos, without even switching guitars! It's a brilliant combination. Even without the Variax guitar, it's a killer pedal board.
Totally agree. And how's that build quality!
sir could you plz healp me??i have pod xt live...but..ist muted...i can't hear any output of it...i dont know why
I'm not a big Line 6 fan but this is a great piece of gear IMO
Many thanks from Seattle, WA, USA!
I love Seattle, I was there in 2001
Awesome !!!
G-Brand is for Gibson 1 x10classic time stamp ish 2.15 ,mine developed a nasty 3.5khz ringing hiss sound(bad cap)? ,and the toe down wha on never worked well still love it switched the toe down to a toggle switch
Picked one up tonight for $100, pretty kool, Thanks,
One of my all time faves :) Gearfacts
oh and i forgot to mention you can get even more effect patches on the world wide web.there are many packs to get and the computer side of this is the best. but it does come with so much.there are no videos that do it much justice,it would take 2 or 3 days to just gloss over what it can do.get one if you can.
Yes I’ve praised it many times. A classic of its type.
Hi Glynn, did you replace 2 knobs for select and effect tweak?? they don't look like the original ones, Because I have a Line 6 POD XT Live. Nice tutorial BTW.
I did indeed. As you can see I was having a bit of a contrast problem between the dark controls and the light display. I was hoping that the silver knobs would alleviate this a bit... they didn’t.
I bought one in around 2001-ish and I used it mainly from 2017-2021 after I inherited my rock band from the exiting founders. One of the attenuators started breaking up so I gave it up and built a traditional pedalboard, but I still miss my pod-XT presets (like changing 5 of my pedals with one button, and they sounded great! through a Fender FM100 twin). I recently bought a used pod-XT, but I still need to reprogram it. I'm hoping to find a good tutorial on programming it via USB on my PC.
Hey, did you find a way to program/updating the firmware? Would love to be able to update mine but the downloader for the software is no longer active.
this is an amazing thing.it will litteraly save $$1,000,000$$..and a professional cannot tell this apart from what it is simulating..built to last many world tours,annd is what i think what all good muti fx sould strive for.do your self and every one hearing you a favour and just get this..get it.find one and get one ,or two.oh and in an effectss loop,it just kills.
Hi Gearfacts, please help me out!
I just bought this pedal and it does a strange thing.
If a select a patch/preset, let's say 21A and then I go to 23A and press stomp or anything else, basically changing parameters, it jumps back to 21A.
Another problem is that often the patches loose their specific sounds, so when I go through them they all sound the same.
I read that it could be an issue with the frequencies of parameters and the way the pedal reacts to them.
Would you have any clues?
I go straight to factory reset when things like that happen :) Gearfacts
@@gearfacts please how to do a factory reset
I believe you were on 23A, and then switched to 21A, but didn't select it. When the LED next to the pedal is flashing, it isn't selected. When you change banks, you have to press a pedal to change to that patch, and the LED should go solid.
Hello there I am a little confused about the outputs on this BASS POD, I also have a POD XT Live (Guitar Model) and the outputs on that one are Left /Mono and Right but on the BASS POD it is Model and D.i.
I had read all the entire manual and i think i understand how it works, but my question is: are those outputs mono or stereo? I am connecting it to a DAW and I want to use the MODEL and I really have no clue how to connect it stereo un less the output jack is balanced, thanks
The outputs o the back are mono, one for left and one for right.
Is there a way to use right output as a separate signal? I’d like to use a “send” to go to looper and simulate bass sound. Thank you
Yes, connecting a standard cable will do that.
The effect chain is limited to a maximum of five effects? Amp -> 1 stomp effect -> 1 modulation -> 1 delay -> wah/expression
I think you might be able to add one or two extra in the menu, but the stomp buttons give you just 5, yes :) Gearfacts
@@gearfacts I can buy one of these for 110€. I think that is slightly above the current rate. Do you think it is worth that? To be honest, I've watched a lot of videos, and they have not demoed sensible sounds. I've not really heard any tones that have made me sit up and listen and go 'wow'.
Does the device have a tuner? I have a broken edit button, how can I replace it?
Is there a way to save different sounds to the abcd patches?
You can only save different patches on the lower row of pedals.
I think I see Heeee-Arrrrr Now
👍👍👍
On one of your questions you said go to factory reset I didn't think there is one if there is can you show were to find thanks
Yes I probably should have been clearer about that - You have to download Line 6's "Monkey" software and use it to do the reset. It's not exactly convenient... #gearfacts
Can you prepare a tutorial in depth? Greetings from Sweden, Stockholm !!!
Sorry man, that's all I've got. The pedal is no longer here :(
But I really want to visit your country one day :)
No problem!!
Nice to hear it from you!!
How do i add a looper to this?
So I have a volume issue that I came to this video for. Everything is hooked up just the way it should and I’ve been scrolling through settings to see if there was something turned down, but couldn’t find anything. Another thing is that it won’t get off the tuner pedal.
Hmmm strange... Pedal in the forward position and all cables in correct sockets?
I have one but I've misplaced CD software any idea where I'd get the software from anyone?
Not on their website? I'm pretty sure it's called "monkey"
i know this videos old but does anyone know if it has a built in looper?
No looper on this pedal, sorry
Hello,mate. Can this baby get The Edge's sound. I just saw one for $125 Cdn
It'd be about the best you'll find in a multi effects pedal, yep :) #gearfacts
@@gearfacts Great😊 Thanx, hello from British Columbia
There is a factory patch called "Streets Have No Names" ... nice patch and starting place.
how do i calibrate EXP2??
I don't know man, you might have to google the manual (search "Line 6 podxt PDF") Sorry I couldn't be more help :) GF
@EduardoGondim Hi, i'm not sure it's useful for your problem....but at the position 32D there is the type " calibration" !! I don't know if it is about expression pedal calibration!! Greetings from Italy
Would you ever run this unit through the effects loop? If so, please describe when you would do this...and when you wouldn't. Thanks!
Also, I'm running a bass through this...probably shouldn't be, but I have the gear I have :).
Hey I'm all for using bass with non-bass equipment. Absolutely no harm in it and you might find a few interesting sounds and ideas :) Effects loop is mainly for when you want to insert the tone of your amp earlier in the effects chain (I think!)
Does this has a built in looper?
No :) #gearfacts
Does it have distortion effects?
Yes lots of them
Can anyone tell me how to hook this up to a amp. I have it running from left mono into the amp then input into guitar and I get nothing
Guitar > PODxt input then PODxt mono out to amp input. That's the simplest way. Keep the volume and gain on the amp low 👍
@Gearfacts Thanks. I had it hooked up like that. Turns out the guy I bought it from gave me the wrong power supply, so it turned on but wouldn't work. I got the right power block boom it comes on!!
@Gearfacts I forgot to say thank you for answering my question. I appreciate it!!
sir..plz help me..my pod xt live has no output...in the amplifier
Check cable functionality, check they are in the correct sockets. Press pedal forward in case it is set to volume, check output level, maybe ..could be many things!
Is there a way to use this to record to a pc?
I’m pretty sure it can be recorded direct from its USB socket. If I’m wrong about that, all you need is a simple audio interface like this one: ua-cam.com/video/f9CwfUdc4bU/v-deo.html
Do this have a battery build in?
No
Mon pod xp live est toutes les sons est supprimée, je ne aucun sons il y a même pas moyen de jouer avec ça
Does it have a looper?
Nope.
@@gearfacts aww man. Oh well lol
Need a help regards edit on mic and room
MY VALUE BUTTON IS BROKEN. HOW CAN I MOVE THE TUNER TO 4:40 AGAIN?
I've given it a lot of thought but I just don't know... this is a frustrating one! All I can suggest is a factory reset.
tone editor not working / not buying l6
Hmm, they're usually very reliable #gearfacts
