Rumors were true and the photos that leaked on the Internet were correct, today Line6 has released the new generation of Pod products, the Line6 Pod X3 and the Line6 Pod X3 Live, lets take a look at their features
The Line6 Pod X3 and Line6 Pod X3 Live have a cool design with bigger screen, that will make easier to edit or save the presets, and chromed controls (like Pocket POD), including the expression pedal in the live version. They feature 74 guitar and 28 bass amps, 24 guitar and 22 bass cabinets, 98 stomp-box and studio effects (like reverbs, choruses, delays or EQs), with up to 9 applied simultaneously, 6 vintage and contemporary mic preamps, A.I.R. II cab/mic modeling with 4 mics each and more than 200 presets. The controls are similar, but they have reduced the number of knobs and increased the number of buttons (including the new dual tone control button).
You also can split the guitar signal, or to connect 2 different instruments, a guitar and a mic that will play simultaneously (with different signals, so you can apply different effects to them) through the USB connection. Both Pod products also have 1/4″ and XLR inputs, headphones, direct amp, stereo line balanced and S/PDIF (great decision to improve the recording quality) outputs, USB 2.0 and MIDI ports and Variax digital connection. You can use an electric or an acoustic guitar (miked or plugged), bass or a mic, and can be a perfect tool for recording or songwriting.
The price of the Line6 Pod X3 is $399, the price of the Line6 Pod X3 Live is $499, and both of them will be available on October 1st.
