Lincoln Brewster patch load instructions

These instructions come to us courtesy of user timowens. NOTE: We cannot tell you how to manipulate ZIP files. Google probably can, though.

I think the problem is you have to add the .x3m extension to the file; you should also use GearBox for better versatility. I use Windows but here's how it worked for me...

Note: In GearBox you can load bundles or individual presets from from your hard drive and it does not actually save them to the POD until you click on Put All or Put Selected.

Download the zip file.

Open it and save the file LB-PODX3-V1 to your hard drive.

Rename the file LB-PODX3-V1.x3m

Open GearBox.

In the Hardware Memory Window click on Open Bundle.

Find the file you just saved "LB-PODX3-V1.x3m" and click open.

Now all the presets are loaded into GearBox (but not the POD).

You can double click on the presets in the Hardware Memory Window to load them into the GearBox window and audition them.

When you find a tone you want to save to the POD, click on the preset in the Hardware Memory Window the highlight it and click on Put Selected to save it to the POD.

When you are done, click on Get All in the Hardware Memory Window to reload the presets that you didn't just overwrite from the POD into GearBox.

As an alternative, what I like to do is load the bundle into GearBox, find a preset that I want to save, double click on it in the Hardware Memory Window to load it into the GearBox Window and click on the File menu, click on DualTone and then Save As, give the preset a name and save it. This will save only this one preset to my harddrive. When I've saved all the presets that I want I can either close GearBox and restart it or click on Get All in the Hardware Memory Window to reload GearBox with the memory from the POD. Now I can find a preset in the POD that I don't want to keep, double click on it to load it and then use the File/DualTone/Open command to load one of the individual presets that I just saved on the harddrive. Now you just have to use Put Selected or Put All to commit the changes to the POD.

Hope this helps.

POD X3 Firmware version 2.0 Update Instructions and General Information

Update Instructions Available HERE

POD X3 Live Flash Memory v2.0 RELEASE NOTES:
[If you are a POD X3 Live owner, please download and install the latest version of Line 6 Monkey software and use it to update your POD X3 Live to this latest version of Flash Memory. For best results, calibrate pedal after update]

POD X3 Live v2.0 is a FREE update to all POD X3 Live customers. It includes 12 additional FX inspired by the sounds of sought-after stompboxes and rack gear!

What does it include?

Vocoder: Our 14 band Vocoder is based on the classic rack units employed by recording studios and modular synths since the early '70s. Use the decay knob to slow down the Vocoder’s responsiveness to create some haunting drones.
Dynamic Delay: Made popular by the T.C. Electronic® 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay. While you play, the Dynamic Delay keeps the volume of the echoes turned down, so that the echoes don’t overwhelm what you’re doing.
Dimension: Based on* the Roland® Dimension D. One of the first true stereo chorus units. Relatively subtle in its nature, it became an industry standard for double-track effects.
Pitch Vibrato: Based on* the Boss® VB-2. It contained a circuit that produced bubbly vibrato, but was popular for its “rise time” control that when engaged, sped up to where you last set it.
Voice Box: Inspired by* Vocoders, Vocal Tracts & Surgical Tubing. This model gives your guitar a sound that’s typical of a classic “talk box.”
V-Tron: Voice Box meets Mu-Tron® III. In this model your guitar again “speaks” with an almost human voice, but now it does so in response to your playing.
Octisynth: Inspired by eight armed denizens of the deep. Everyone knows that all you need is a bottleneck and a reverb tank to get whale sounds, but how about our friend the Octopus?
Q Filter: Your very own parked wah! You’ve heard it before from Mark Knopfler and from Brian May of Queen—it’s a wah “parked” in one position.
Pattern Tremolo: Inspired by* Lightfoot Labs Goatkeeper. This effect is what you’d get if you could hook up a vintage keyboard sequencer to a tremolo.
Frequency Shifter: A ring modulator gives you both up and down shifted frequencies. Here you can select just the up or down shifted frequencies.
Barberpole Phaser: A classic effect from the world of modular synths. This phaser either sounds like it’s always going up or always down depending on how you set it. Set to stereo you get both!
Script Phaser: Based on* MXR® Phase 90. Just like the original our model only features a Speed control
