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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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.
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
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.
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!!! 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
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.
Man i love you !!! You're the best, no doubt, i bought my X3 Live 2 weeks ago and didn't know what the F*CK to do or i should say how to do, but now thanks to you i got some decent tones in my X3 live, thanks man! Really appreciate your awsome patches you're sharing !!! =)
I really like the way that you have a decent play with a backing track at the end of your videos, it helps to hear the sounds in context. Would it be possible for you to make some videos showing the very basics of programming guitar sounds. With the complex gear you're using (e.g. pod x3), I get a bit confused about all the parameters you're setting, and from a selfish point of view would like to understand more.
Glenn, your videos are very inspiring. You are a good teacher and a great guitar player. In this video you are playing through a cabinet. What changes, if any would you recommend for going directly in to a DAW interface.
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.
@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?
i thought the sound was a little bit too closed on the overdrive patch c...kinda missing something...i think more mediums and highs... i guess! very nice though!!!!
Thank you for your videos! I really appreciate you work! I have question on this video. you didn't say how you edited the clean and crunch tones. i would be very thankful if you'll help me with it.)))
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
Hi Glenn. Congratulations for your videos, The best on you tube. A question: "what amp do you suggest to blend with line6 modern high gain? I like modern Van Halen, Satriani tones. I´m recording the 3rd album of my band SANTAREM." Thank You very much! Alex (from Brazil)
@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
Hi, I used your tones from these videos with a few alterations for a few gigs of my own and they sound amazing. I looked on your website as it said your other tones were on there and I downloaded the link. They seem to clip a lot however when I loaded them into my x3. I just wondered if you knew of a reason why this might be. Thanks
@extremevideopro That i ensure you i will, i recorded a awsome solo improvisation with your satriani tone that you shared, i'll put it on youtube tomorrow and really want you to comment that and share your thoughts!
Great Videos. I've used these tones for a gig and they sound amazing. I'm trying to make a Lead tone which has slightly less distortion, something like a cranked blues solo. Could you give me any tips? Cheers.
Great video! What I would love to know is how to "successfully" attach and operate my Digitech Jamman Loop station to the Pod X3 Live, plugging into the send and return on the pod...so far, I get hissing and difficult to make it work right..close but still not happy with it...
heh i've gotta tell you your vids are the best thing i can find in youtube.. am looking forward for more.. i think line6 guyz shud thank you personally for doing all these.. can u show us how do u use gearbox too..??
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??
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?
Wonderful vids! Same question for me, X3 Live seems cool but the display looks very small, thus being hard to read when the unit's on the floor and you're standing. What are your thoughts on that?
hello buddy,love your videos,heck of a singer and guitar player.I have been looking at one of these and Im pretty sure Im wanting to buy one,found a really good deal on one used.is one of these worth the buy compared to the hd500x and the helix.does the podx3 sound as good as the hd500x, pretty big price difference.thanks for any help you can give me.
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.
I almost give up faith in this pedal to get the sound I want, then i was searching for more help and i found you. Great sound, great setting, do you think you will have time to do some patches for me? Cheers
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!
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
Hi there...firstly, well done on producing such high quality videos on the x3 live. I've been using a Digitech GNX4 for the past few years, but I've never really been that satisfied with it. How do you rate the X3 live compared to the GNX4? Have you ever tried a TC Electronic Nova System? If so I'd love to hear how you compare that to a X3 live. Cheers, David
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
hey glen..... wont you be doing any more pod x3 live tutorial videos in the near future? i know you're demoing the new helix LT et al..... but still..... haha
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?
No the 5150 amp on the POD. I was just wondering how it sounded compared to a real 5150... also i think i would like getting a job to raise the money, thanks.
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
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!

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!
No
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...
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
Yes I do sometimes. It depends on what gig I am doing. I play with about 4 different bands right now.
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.

The more I listen to your work with the X3, the more I'm likely to buy one!
@Tylermartin7771 you can't change the color, only the contrast. Look in the system settings.
Great demo, playing and tutorial as always. You should a youtube award or something! Can't thank you enough!
thnxx man!!!
yesterday i bought the x3 live, and thanks to you i can make a good clean and lead tone!
@extremevideopro you are so awesome.... i have had this problem since 2 months ago and never knew until you answered my question! THANK YOU
@TheASBObrown Try turning up the trim knob on the back of the unit.
i have to follow this settings.. this pod x3 is old but still dope
thanks a million! The X3 is on order
Awesome tutorial and thank you for the licks in the end of the video it showed how nice the pedal sounds
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.
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
@TheASBObrown No I have plenty that are made to run direct to PA or recorder
Fantastic tutorial videos.. Absolutely changed my tone for the good. So grateful!!
No that's normal, different countries have different prices. I know in Australia it's like twice as much as in the US
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.
+Kendall Lawson Wow that's awesome!! That's a good friend.
Thanks so much for these demos. I put all your presets into my new x3 live.
The X3-Live is not really that easy to tweak in a live setting on the fly like you would a normal stomp pedal.
Thanks, Studio Match/Direct
Wow, thank you sooo much, really big help on getting me to understand this, and great sound! Lots of talent, love how you play!
Thank you. This is extremely helpful!! Now I can just tweak these patches to taste. Thanks again!
Bro, i love all your videos! very informative and absolutely awesome!! :)
Great tutorial and all but even more so, Great piece of music!
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! :)

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.

In this video you are playing through a cabinet. What changes, if any would you recommend for going directly in to a DAW interface.
Man you make it look so easy.
Very nice I like the fact that you us a thumb pick.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, very well done.
No I haven't but that model does have tons of gain!!
Like it

@extremevideopro Yo pienso que es por el defecto al momento de cambiar de patches.
@extremevideopro dude you are great . thanks for everything.

@extremevideopro That i ensure you i will, i recorded a awsome solo improvisation with your satriani tone that you shared, i'll put it on youtube tomorrow and really want you to comment that and share your thoughts!
hey is the amp ur playing thru a Solid state or tube? thx ur vid's are kickass
Great Videos. I've used these tones for a gig and they sound amazing. I'm trying to make a Lead tone which has slightly less distortion, something like a cranked blues solo. Could you give me any tips? Cheers.
BOSS is in Japan. Metal housings

Same question for me, X3 Live seems cool but the display looks very small, thus being hard to read when the unit's on the floor and you're standing. What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks for this review man!
By the way, is it possible to have the little tune you're playing in the last part? I loved it ;)
AWESOME DEMO! THANKS!
great info to have......thanks a million!
hello buddy,love your videos,heck of a singer and guitar player.I have been looking at one of these and Im pretty sure Im wanting to buy one,found a really good deal on one used.is one of these worth the buy compared to the hd500x and the helix.does the podx3 sound as good as the hd500x, pretty big price difference.thanks for any help you can give me.
By the way... nice demo! I`d like to see a demo with you using the Peavey 5150. Thanks for posting!
Pretty good... i like the lead tone,
Cheers Glen. Just what i needed to get ready for Sunday's early church seshon. ;)
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.
I almost give up faith in this pedal to get the sound I want, then i was searching for more help and i found you. Great sound, great setting, do you think you will have time to do some patches for me?
Cheers
Wow bro! Awesome tone! I'm just wondering are harmonizers and whammy included in this unit? Thanks and hope to see more demos from you! :D

HI great video,just wondering what you recomend setting the output to when going into the front of a amp
thanks rkrk1
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.

Glenn, have you made any tone using Line6 Insane amp? btw, this tone is awesome.
if you would... wouuld you please give a video on the pod x3 live's pitch shifter/bender? i would truly appreciate that! Thank you!!!!
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?
No the 5150 amp on the POD. I was just wondering how it sounded compared to a real 5150... also i think i would like getting a job to raise the money, thanks.
The developer is Line6. This item has been discontinued so i would think twice about getting one.
Cheers
So thats a bad thing? I was thinking of a purchase
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
