The POD X3 and POD X3 Live from Line 6 yield even more power, ease and flexibility to the acclaimed POD family of professional guitar and studio tone processors for working musicians.

The desktop-friendly POD X3 and stage-ready POD X3 Live represent the evolution of a true classic, with an expanded array of 78 guitar amps, from high-wattage heavyweights to boutique beauties and vintage treasures. Guitar amps 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 and POD X3 Live come fully loaded with the all-around sonic firepower of a top-tier major-label studio, while its larger LCD and smart new controls make it easier than ever to find, tweak and save tones.

Just as significantly, POD X3 and POD X3 Live offer powerful new I/O and routing options. Split your signal through two different amp and effect chains simultaneously, or use its dual inputs to individually process two instruments - a microphone and a guitar, for example - at the same time. Whether you’re playing through a P.A., amp or recording rig, plug your microphone into the XLR input to make vocals and acoustic guitars sound their absolute best. Computer recording enthusiasts will want to exploit the USB 2.0 connectivity (for multi-channel recording and onscreen tone editing) as well as its S/PDIF stereo digital audio output for sending an ultra-clean signal to their DAW.

Reasons to Upgrade from POD XT

POD X3 delivers a ton of new features to inspire your music and simplify the creative process more than ever.

  • Split your guitar signal and run it through two amps or two guitar rigs at the same time to create entirely new sounds that will blow your audience away.

  • Use the XLR input or ¼" instrument input to play or record two instruments simultaneously–each with its own independent tone processing.

Simultaneously send a dry unprocessed signal and wet processed stereo signal for each instrument/input to your computer for convenient and flexible computer recording options.

Whether you choose to hit the stage with the sleek and rugged POD X3 Live (with its race car-inspired built-in expression pedal) or command the studio with the classically styled POD X3, you’ll be outfitted with even more of the flexibility and timeless tones that have made POD the global standard for the discriminating guitarist.
