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 über-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:

• Stomp: Fuzz, Distortion, Overdrive and every flavor of delicious dirt.
• Mod: Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Rotary, Phaser; some serious swoosh.
• Delay: Multiple types of Analog, Digital, Tape and other echoes, echoes, echoes. . .
• Reverb: Multiple types of Room, Hall, Chamber, Plate, Spring and more.
• Beyond: Compressors, Gate, 4-Band Semi-Parametric EQ, Guitar Synth, Filters, Wah and the entire galaxy of otherworldly timbre tweakers.
