Members thewthrman Posted September 13, 2013 Members Share Posted September 13, 2013 This is not easy to google or search for on this forum. I apologize if it comes up alot.I have a podXT and a FBV controller that I use live as part of a fairly complex setup. I saw where someone locally had a really clean PodXT Live for sale and it just occurred to me that my setup would be alot cleaner if I got rid of the bean and the cable and just used the floor unit. Is there some drawback to using the LIVE unit that I haven't thought of. I only use the 4 patches anyway, clean, slightly gritty, dirty and an octave down patch. I did think it would be cool to be able to turn modulation on an off sometimes, though.First off, is there a way to save off individual patches and copy them to the new unit or do I have to manually go in and set everything?Secondly, this thing is pretty old. I honestly don't think it lacks anything for what I need, but maybe newer ones kick ass. Have you upgraded to a pod HD and discovered something crappy about your XT that you didn't notice before. I'm not so concerned about the money. I just figured that for the limited way I use the XT, I would better be spending it in some other area of my rig.

Members bubdude Posted September 13, 2013 Members Share Posted September 13, 2013 I have a Pod xt Live that I have had for years. I up graded to a Pod X3 which died for no other reason that a board failure a cording the the guy at the authorized repair center,.....until that event, death of Pod X3 , Pod X3 sounded really great.The Pod xt Live records really well. I have never used the Pod xt live in a performance.If it died would I replace it. No.When the dead pod died I purchased a Digitech GSP 1101 and my dears it is killer. I want topurchase a second GSP 1101 so that after they are discontinued and the first one dies I'll have a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thewthrman Posted September 16, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2013 I gotta be honest, I looked at the newer pods and they seem pretty complex. The XT just seems to make more logical sense to me. I haven't been able to figure out the shortcomings that would be addressed if I got an x3 or HD. The advantage of the live is that I could add modulation or delay to an existing patch and that I could access more than 4 if needed. But I am pretty comfortable using only 4 patches. As a matter of fact, I could get rid of my clean twin sound because my barely dirty sound is pretty clean already. I would like to be able to not have to connect up the foot pedal to the pod and not have to find a place to put the pod onstage.On another note, those podxt lives seem to have held their value pretty well. I saw a clean one for $150 and was planning to talk the guy down and he sold it quickly. The craigslist price seems to be around 175 normally, but I have seen some people asking 200-ish. If I could find another clean one for $150, I'd jump on that sumbitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MesaMonster Posted July 28, 2014 Members Share Posted July 28, 2014 I have an XT Live that I use as my backup in case my tube amp dies. Transferring patches is easy to do with the Line 6 Editor. It is also a great tool for downloading and creating new tones and patches. I have used it live into a PA system. I put a DI box on one out to the board and the other output went to our stage rack so that I could use in-ears. Great setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
