Introduction
Welcome To PODxt Live...
Thank you for inviting PODxt Live into your life. Whether you use your PODxt Live as
the ultimate multi-effect pedal, a direct recording miracle, a powerhouse preamp, a prac-
tice partner, or as a creative digital signal processing tool (and heck, why should it be just
one of these?) — we think you’ll agree that PODxt Live is about the most amazing thing
to happen to the electric guitar since, well, since the guitar amplifier itself! PODxt Live
delivers the incredible tones of the acclaimed Line 6 Point-to-Point Interactive model-
ing technology (as featured in our Vetta series amps) and fuses it with the wonderfully
portable and easy to use POD, which has been the guitar recording world standard for
years. So you’ve got the tonal heritage of the past century of guitar amplifier and stomp
box 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 squashed our patented model-
ing 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-win-
ning 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!—PODxt Live
was born. It’s now available in the original bean shape, a rack mount, and the floor unit
that you are enjoying.
