Introduction
Welcome To PODXT...
Thank you for inviting PODXT into your life. Whether you use your PODXT as a direct
recording miracle, a powerhouse preamp, a practice 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 POD
XT is about the most amazing thing to happen to the electric guitar
since, well, since the guitar amplifier itself! POD
XT delivers the incredible tones of the
acclaimed Line 6 Point-to-Point Interactive modeling 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 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.
How does POD
XT help you create a guitar tone that is out of this world, and then get
that tone wherever you need it? Easy! It’s…
