Matt Smartt

I’m excited! Im not sure from what I’ve read if it has been or will be released, but Line 6 have shown-off their brand new baby, the POD X3 series of guitar signal processors! I’m really stoked for the POD X3 Pro, which is their flagship model, and is a rack-mountable unit. As a previous POD owner, I know what they’re capable of, and I can’t wait to get my hands dirty with this baby (after I save my peny’s)! I know you guys don’t want the 3rd degree, but here it is anyway! This article I found sums it up nicely

Basically, the great thing about this is that you can run 2 guitar rigs at the same time! Something, only Line 6’s Vetta series of guitar amps could achieve. This opens up a massive amount of potential with creative amp combinations, so I can get my ‘Matt Smartt Signature Tone’ and no one can copy it

I will also benefit using this thing live, running the rack in my effects loop of my Line 6 Flextone III Plus combo amp! I’m also happy that Line 6 kept with the FBV Shortboard foot controller, because I already have that for my amp, so it will have 2 uses!

In the studio, I can’t even begin to describe how much potential this baby can deliver! You name it, you can get it! That’s all there is to say.

I’m also really really thrilled that Line 6 don’t make you buy ‘Model Packs’ anymore for you to get the really great amps and effects, they included all the model packs (amps, cabs, mics, effect, etc), so i’ll be able to dial in my sweet metal tones without having to cough-up another 50 bucks to get the ‘Metal Shop Pack’!

All in all, I can’t wait to buy this baby, and when I do I’ll post some audio recordings of how good this thing sounds
