Introduction
Welcome To PODXT Live...
Thank you for inviting PODXT Live into your life. Whether you use it as the ultimate
multi-effect pedal, a direct recording miracle, a powerhouse preamp, a practice partner,
or a creative digital signal processing tool (and heck, why should it be just one?) — we
think you’ll agree that POD
XT Live is about the most amazing thing to happen to the
electric guitar since, well, since the guitar amplifier itself! POD
XT Live delivers the
incredible tones of the acclaimed Line 6 Point-to-Point Interactive modeling
technology (as featured in our Vetta II series amps), fuses it with the wonderfully
portable and easy to use POD which has been the guitar recording world standard for
years, and smacks it all down on the floor for rugged professional use. So you’ve got the
tonal heritage of the past century of stomp box and guitar amplifier design, plus no-
compromise recording and direct sound excellence — all ready to roll when you are.
Who is Line 6?
As you may know, Line 6 first came on the scene several years back with a new kind of
guitar amplifier — the first to put digital software modeling technology to work in a
combo amp for guitarists. We also knew then that guitarists need great amp tone when
recording, but generally don’t have the room to crank up that classic stack, or the
money to hire a team of ace engineers to get it to tape. So we squished our patented
modeling technology down into a small, kidney-bean-shaped wonder called POD, and
forever changed the world of guitar recording.
Once we’d gotten this whole modeling amp and POD thing started, it was time to see
what we could do if we really cranked up the horsepower and took our modeling to the
next level. I mean, once you’ve climbed to the top of the mountain, it’s on to the next
mountain, right? So, eyes glowing like power tubes, we stocked up on the Pepsi,
gathered our genius engineers into a secret lab, fired up our extensive collection of
amplifiers and stomp boxes... and spirited their treasured tones into a newly-
supercharged modeling technology we dubbed Point-to-Point modeling. It first hit the
streets in the award-winning Vetta amp, whose superb tone and unparalleled selection
of dream amps, cabinets and effects make it a pretty good contender for the world
heavyweight amp title. After that, we poured the same magic elixir into the classic
POD and—ta-dah!—POD
XT was born. It’s now available in the original bean shape, a
rack mount, and the floor unit that you are enjoying.
