Display has solid black bar on top line and shows Tone2 name below it.

support@line6.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:32:11 GMT

I just updated my firmware to the latest version. Fixed an issue where I couldn't toggle between Tone1 and Tone2. But now I have new problems.

When editing, I've found that sometimes when I click stompbox (or engage the Wah, or mod, or delay) the Tone2 light turns off and the display shows black bar on top line and still shows Tone2 name. So I see the name for Tone2, but it seems I might be actually in Tone1 (or neither). Where the name for Tone1 would be, it's just all blacked out.

At that point engaging or disengaging any of the effects (stompbox/mod/delay) doesn't seem to do anything. I have to either switch to another patch, or toggle Tone1/Tone2 back and forth to get back.

It's getting very frustrating when trying to edit patches because of this glitch. It did not used to do this before the update.

It's also begun to change screens sometimes while I'm editing. I read in another post a suggestion to move all pots and park them, which is good advice for minor corrosion and buildup on the pots. But I didn't have this problem at all before the update, and now it's happening a lot.

I'm afraid that it seems I've traded one problem for two other problems.

Any help, or ideas, or ways to fix these problems?

Thanks in advance.

Harmonizer , Pitch Shifter on pod x3

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:29:28 GMT

Hello

ALTHO I have been a fan of line 6 for years now

( I have owned pod 2.0 , pod xt live , pod pocket , pod x3 live , pod ux 2 and i have adviced friends to use line 6 stuff ! )

Altho i think line6 is the major guitar brand of 2000'

I DESPERATELY need to know if u are going to put some damn tracking effects on pod x3

I need some harmonizer effect with my new project , so from now on , im thinking about switching to boss gear

i think boss is great but do NOT let me do this i really want to keep on using line 6 but if i have to i will switch to boss -.-

i really need to know if ur trying to implement the modulation and pitch shifter stuff on the pod x3 live

its so retarded to be in 2010 and still not have a decent harmonizer like gt3 or even better gt 8 )

keep up the good work

deepest respect

4 method cable with a Pod X3Live

support@line6.com — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:33:07 GMT

Hey,

What is this 4 method cable all about?

Can I use this and still use the amp simulations on the pod?

What should I change on the output mode?

My amp has fx loop, so I know that this is possible with my amp.

What are the pros & cons?

Amp for Pod X3

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:03:58 GMT

I am looking for a good amp to use with Pod X3 Live that doesn't have all kinds of effects and dials on it, seeing that the X3 has all the tones I'll ever need. I was just wondering what people are using or would recommend.

Thanks

Jeff

..regarding x3 live effects loop..

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:03:38 GMT

..i've got 2 tonebone pedals with high gain settings in the loop , configured 'pre' , and yet to get enough level , the return is at +20db -

the amp block is off , and i've got the eq set with mid cuts , to try and get the cleanest sound , going into the fx return of a marshall avt combo..

this works ok , but if i try to switch the amp block on , the levels all are way too low -

if i put the loop 'post' , then the comp/boost doesn't have nearly the desired effect..

i must be doing something wrong..

also there's alot of noise when the pedals are on - the gate seems to have little effect - shouldn't it be at the end of the chain?

lastly , the momentary display feature for the amp tone controls doesn't seem to be working at all , minor gripe , but still ??

any advice appreciated , thanx , cam..

Using a Boss FV-500H pedal with the X3 Live

support@line6.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:27:12 GMT

Was wondering how to calibrate this pedal when connecting it to the X3 Live. I connected it to the Pedal 2 Input as an expression pedal. The problem I'm having is the toe down position is minimum and the heel down position is maximum. How do I reverse this? Is this pedal compatible with the X3 Live?

why was my thread closed?

support@line6.com — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:55:57 GMT

Line 6 support please reply to my latest question considering the activation of Riffworks; please tell me how I can instruct the new owner so he remoes the license key from the Pod Live XT. Please see the thread. Cheers Marcel

Volume issues through poweramp in

support@line6.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:16:29 GMT

When I hook up my Pod X3 Live to the power amp in of my combo amp, even when using line level, the sound is significantly (unacceptably) quieter than when I go through the guitar input. Does this mean that I need to add an external preamp before or after the pod to use this input?

Non-working power adaptor

support@line6.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:28:59 GMT

Hi Line 6,

My name is Robert, and i'm from Wollongong Australia. I recently purchased a brand new Pod X3 off of an american ebay user, which arrived here two days ago. Due to the difference in power supplies between the US and Australia, i bought a 240->120 step-down transformer to be able to use the power adaptor for your product, however, upon plugging it in today, i found that my Pod did not work. I got out an electrical meter, and discovered that there is no voltage coming out of the Pod X3's power adaptor that arrived with the product (the seperate transformer was putting out the correct amount).

My question is two-fold in nature: Firstly, does this non-working adaptor get covered under warranty? If so, how do i claim this warranty? Furthermore, are there Pod power adaptors that are specifically made for the australian 240v power supply?

In case it's of any assistance, my X3's registration number is (21)X3B1S5931002196.
