The most powerful POD ever. The stage-ready POD® X3 Live represents the true evolution of the now-classic POD® xt Live guitar amp modeler, with an expanded array of 78 guitar amps, from high-wattage heavyweights to boutique beauties and vintage treasures.
Guitar amp models are just the beginning: With 24 guitar cabs, 98 stompbox and studio effects, 28 bass amps, 22 bass cabs and six vocal preamps - POD X3 Live comes complete with the all-around sonic firepower of a top-tier major-label studio, ready to tackle guitar, bass vocals and beyond. What's more, its larger LCD and smart new editing workflow pages make it easier than ever to find, tweak and save tones.
POD X3 Live also offers powerful new 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 recording enthusiasts will want to exploit the USB 2.0 connectivity provided by POD X3 Live for multi-channel recording as well as its S/PDIF Stereo Digital Audio Output for sending an ultra-clean signal to their DAW.
In addition to stereo 1/4-inch line outputs (with Amp/Line pad switch) POD X3 Live boasts stereo XLR balanced line outputs for the best possible live signal. When you hit the stage with the sleek, rugged brushed-aluminum POD X3 Live (with its racecar-inspired built-in expression pedal), you'll be outfitted with even more of the flexibility and timeless tones that have made POD the global standard for the discriminating guitarist.
Quite simply, there has never been an amp modeler with this much sheer firepower. The awesome amp arsenal in POD X3 Live boasts a whopping 78 guitar amps and 24 guitar cabinets (along with 28 bass amp models and 22 bass cabinet models). With the brilliant new Dual Tone processing provided by POD X3 Live, you can double your trouble by running through two amp rigs simultaneously, pairing any of the rumbling amp models provided by POD X3 Live for new and adventurous hybrids. And of course, Line 6 uses A.I.R.™ II microphone modeling to give you four mic options (with control of mic positioning and room bleed) for every single cab. Here's what you get:

Try to picture this: a pedal board that's 30-feet long, with close to a hundred of the all-time greatest stompboxes (in pristine condition!), along with an effects rack that houses top-notch outboard compressors, reverbs, EQs and vintage preamps. And imagine that you could play and record through this uber-board with no noise at all, only one power supply and only a handful of knobs and switches to control the entire thing. Now imagine that it's a svelte, sleek and shiny brushed-aluminum killer that looks awesome with your onstage rig.
That's what you get with POD® X3 Live: up to nine simultaneous effects, and the most mammoth collection of tones and timbres ever assembled. With POD X3 Dual Tone processing, you can even run through two completely independent effects chains at the same time, to create totally original (and insane!) walls of sound. While its heavy-duty metal footswitches allow you to select presets and individual effect modules, the stylish and rugged POD X3 Live foot controller can be used to control wah, volume or to morph between effect settings. You can even integrate your collection of outboard rack and stompbox effects with POD X3 Live via its 1/4-inch stereo effects loop. POD X3 Live includes:

Think POD is only geared towards guitarists? Think again: POD® X3 Live might just be the ultimate secret weapon for bassists, singers and songwriters too. Bass players can combine any of the 28 badass bass amp and 22 bass cab models in POD X3 with any one of its killer studio-grade mic preamps, high-end compressors and super-cool stompboxes. Better yet, why not use Dual Tone processing to run up to nine of those stompboxes and studio processors on each of your two simultaneous bass rigs . . . in stereo! Now that's lowdown and dirty. . .
Singers can run their studio microphone into the XLR input on the POD X3 Live and take advantage of its warm and rich suite of mic preamps. Adding a touch of top-quality vintage spring or digital reverb will put that professional touch on all your best songs.
Perform live using POD X3 Dual Tone processing to turn your POD X3 Live into both a vocal processor/preamp and a guitar amp modeler/effector, and simply send a single stereo pair to the house as you sing and play your sensitive heart out! While you're at it, why not a route a drum machine or sampler to the Auxiliary input for a little backing beat?
