Show full description »

POD X3 Pro is the powerful Dual Tone processor that comes fully loaded with amp and effect models for recording guitar, bass and vocals. In addition, a comprehensive array of inputs and outputs provide seamless integration into professional recording and performance rigs.

Like all members of the POD® X3 family, POD X3 Pro offers powerful Dual Tone modeling and routing options. Split your single-input guitar or bass signal through two different amp and effect chains simultaneously to create gorgeous new hybrids, or use its dual inputs to individually process two instruments—a microphone and a guitar, for example—at the same time.

Computer-based studios will want to exploit the USB 2.0 connectivity provided by POD X3 Pro for multi-channel recording as well as its S/PDIF or AES/EBU Stereo Digital Audio I/O for sending a direct digital signal to their DAWs. For additional recording and processing flexibility, POD X3 Pro also includes software plug-in functionality for integration with DAW recording applications.

The comprehensive analog and digital inputs make POD X3 Pro perfect for a wide range of recording and performance scenarios. It features:

  • Dual 1/4" instrument inputs
  • Dual XLR microphone inputs (with phantom power, trim controls and low-cut filters)
  • Stereo 1/4" line inputs
  • S/PDIF digital input
  • AES/EBU digital input
  • Variax® Digital Interface (VDI)

POD X3 Pro also supports a comprehensive set of outputs for delivering processed bass, guitar and vocals to recording and performance rigs. Output choices include:

  • Stereo unbalanced 1/4" outputs
  • Stereo balanced XLR (mic or line level)
  • Multi-channel USB 2.0
  • S/PDIF digital output
  • AES/EBU digital output

Whether you’re recording in the studio or performing live, POD X3 Pro delivers the flexibility, connections and timeless tones that have made POD® the global standard for the discerning guitarist.

Line 6 Pod X3 Pro Reviews

Pod X3 Pro

— Paul Ashley September 1, 2009

I purchased the X3 because basically I was sold by it\'s \"all-in-one studio pre-amp/FX\" description listed on the Line 6 website.

I have a home studio and the fact that I could throw vocals through it, hook my acoustic up, play with a smorgasbord of guitar FX, run two of these at once AND have full stereo outputs configured for studio use, really perked my interest. So, took the risk, made the purchase and haven\'t looked back!

The first thing that got me was the quality and sheer diversity of sounds in this beast. Spent hours with just my guitar, getting to grips with the amps and FX (it\'s what Line 6 do!), but to be honest I\'m still doing that 8 months later. There\'s that many. When you finally get some idea of what sounds you can get, you can then double them up with the dual tone feature which can generate some unbelievable sounds. Imagine a perfect blend of a loud clean Fender amp sitting with the crunch of a cranked up Marshall. Takes me to special places...

When I finally started recording with it, I must admit it took me some time to set it up just how I like it but that was to be expected given the versatility of the thing. I settled on using the digital stereo out to my multitracker, I also use the line in to receive aux signals from my multitracker, so I can apply FX like reverb in real time as I\'m mixing down. Something which the X3 does brilliantly.

I intially thought I\'d use only the preamps for vox, adding FX later, but the quality of FX in the X3 means I don\'t have to bother. I can add FX while recording and use the unprocessed outputs to listen to the unprocessed voice, then when I\'ve done, I have a vox track with full FX, compression and EQ, in one take! (well nearly one, I\'m still practicing!).

Since getting the X3 I have pushed aside all other equipment in my stuido, tube preamp, pedalboard (30 pedals), 2 amps (Laney VC15 & Fender Twin Reverb), ALL have been made redundant by the X3.

As a little footnote, I\'ve also stopped jamming as much with my amp and existing pedals, the X3 is so easy to set up customised racks and then save/tweak them, it\'s making my pedals obsolete (at least in the studio).

I bought the X3 for a specific purpose and it has filled that purpose and given so much much more!

If you have a studio and you want a load of FX, quality pre-amp models for guitars/vocals and bass, plus versatility in various setups, software and hardware based, you couldn\'t get much better than this in my humble opinion.
