Pod X3 Tones

February 15th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Here’s my collection of Line 6 tones. I use a Pod X3 Live, so you will need to make sure you use a compatible device if you don’t have the same exact model, other wise the tone won’t work right.

Of course these tones might not exactly give you the same sound I have because I usually apply more effects to my tones after recording them in software. Also, I am constantly changing tones around. But I’ll try to keep this page as up to date as possible.

I have also recently begun to use some impulses to simulate real guitar cabinets.

Many of these tones are based on other tones I’ve found around the internet so I can’t take all the credit.

Safari users: Be sure to control-click and choose “Save Linked File…” if the links do not work.

Line 6 ToneMesa Boogie.l6t

Here’s the rhythm tone I used on some of my original songs. It’s a very simple tone. It is a Mesa Boogie head with a ton of gain.

Line 6 ToneBright Rhythm.l6t

I used this rhythm tone on the Careworn tracks. It’s a pretty good thrash tone, but it doesn’t sound very clear at times.

Line 6 ToneLead.l6t

Here’s the lead tone I used for a few songs. It’s extremely loud and it has some delay and reverb. You can also turn on the chorus effect included in the tone for a different sound. It would probably make a pretty good rhythm tone if it was quieter, but I personally don’t like to play rhythm with delay or reverb.

Line 6 ToneClean.l6t

This is the basic clean tone I use. It is nothing too fancy. Just a clean channel with some delay and reverb.

Line 6 ToneBass.l6t

Here’s the bass tone I used for my Careworn tracks and some some of my newer songs. The only differences are how I mixed the track in the end. It is a very loud bass tone with a lot of midrange and distortion. It’s based on an Ampeg amp and cab. I tried to model the tone after thrash sounds like Meshuggah – Contradictions Collapse and Megadeth – Rust In Peace which are generally loud.

Line 6 ToneClean Bass.l6t

Here’s another bass tone I use from time to time. It is pretty much like the other bass track but it is just not as loud and distorted.

    Really? The links work fine for me. Which tone are you trying to download and what browser are you using?

    Ah thanks for catching that man. Well, I haven’t been able to figure this one out quite yet. It seems like Safari doesn’t like the .l6t file extension. I had the same problem here and also on other websites with .l6t files. So for now, until I can fix it, just use control-click and do “Save Linked File…” to save the tone.

    The links are working fine except the thrashy bass one. That’s all.

    Really? It works fine for me! Can you elaborate? What browser? What happens when you try to download it?

    @Simon
    I actually don’t use this equipment for my covers. This is just recording equipment. For cover videos, I have used my Marshall amp, which you can read about in the About section.

    Could use something like a Toneport UX2 to download and use these tones?

    Oh, and the aforementioned product is a Line 6 as well.

    Not sure myself. You should get in touch with Line 6 support to be sure but you can always try.
