Line 6 Announces POD X3 V2.0 Software

Line 6, Inc., a provider of digital modeling technology for music-creation products, has reportedly launched a free software update POD X3 V2.0, which is capable of delivering a collection of additional effects to all Line 6 POD X3 products.

 

POD eliminates the need for complicated recording setups. As a leading manufacturer of guitars, amplifiers, effects, effect processors, and recording interfaces, Line 6 has well established as a company known for its studio- and stage-standard gear featuring its patented amp and effect modeling and digital wireless technologies. The company reportedly invented digital guitar amp modeling technology in 1996, and is currently has keen focus in making guitar amplifiers.

 

POD X3 is an evolution of the classic bean-shaped digital guitar amp modeler, with an expanded array of 78 guitar amps, from high-wattage heavyweights to boutique beauties and vintage treasures. POD X3 V2.0 is said to deliver 12 additional, fully adjustable effect models to all POD X3 products, including POD X3, POD X3 Live, and POD X3 Pro. The update increases the effect model count of each product to a generous 110.

 

“The free software update lets POD X3 users expand their sonic palettes,” Mike Murphy, POD product category manager at Line 6. “It includes a host of incredible new effects including a guitar-based vocoder, which is unique to POD in the multi-effect category.”

 

Moreover, the company said that there are a wide variety of effects made available through the update, including a number of tremolos, shifters, phasers, a delay and an inspiring vocoder. Each effect model is based on a sought-after stompbox or piece of classic rack gear.

 

POD X3 V2.0 is not the first model-count boosting software update to be released by Line 6. Other free updates, as stated, include M13 v2, which adds over 20 effect models and more to M13 Stompbox Modeler multi-effect pedal, and Spider IV v1.04, which is said to add a collection of artist-created tone presets to Spider IV guitar amplifiers.
