How to Mute Sound When Using Tuner? X3 Live

support@line6.com — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:44:32 GMT

Does anyone know how to mute the sound while tuning?

My X3 Live still amplifies my guitar (with a clean tone) while I'm tuning, which sucks for live and jamming with others, because I have to turn down or they hear my tuning. My last Pod, an XT Live muted while tuning. Is there any way to get X3 Live to do the same? Your help is very appreciated!

Thanks so much for your reply.

I ended up buying a brand new X3 Live and have learned it and understand now that the pedal doesn't behave like it would for a single-tone preset when there are 2 tones in a preset. So it may have been the case.

The only thing that makes me think there may have been a problem was the randomness of the behaviour of the expression pedal. First time it would act normal volume/wah, then I'd come back to it later and the same preset would have mixed wah/volume behaviours. And even though the store clerk supposedly reset the POD, there were still patches in banks 30, 31, etc. which I know now are empty user presets in a new X3. So probably I was experiencing normal behaviour in the last user's weird 2-tone presets.

Anyway, problem solved for me as I have a new one and I'm not experiencing anything I don't understand yet.

Thanks again for your help - getting expert input made me more confident to just buy a new one (which was discounted because it's discontinued, so extra bonus for me!) Take care

Does this have something to do with the patches that have 2 tones going at once? If this is an obviously newbie question to an easily explainable thing, then, whoops. I just didn't get the logic of it...

X3 Live Pedal Volume/Wah switching problem

I got my local music store to order in a used X3 Live from another location, but before I bought it I tried it out. At first there seemed to be no problem with the pedal, then I went in and changed the type of wah sound on a patch. I don't think I did anything else in there, but I'm not very familiar with the interface (my last Pod was an XT). So it was fine, tried a few wah sounds, and did not save any changes, switched patches, then noticed weird things happening with the pedal when switching from volume to wah and back again.

I'd switch to wah then back to volume, and suddenly volume acts as a wah. Then back to Wah and it's either acting as volume or a weak sort of mix of the two - like a wah pedal that quiets down when flipped down. This happened on various patches in different banks.

There didn't seem to be any logic to it -- it felt more like a defect with the pedal or computer, not a feature I'm not understanding. I don't really think it had anything to do with me tinkering with the wah types either.

I didn't buy it, and the assistant there agreed that it's a defect. But has anyone had this problem? Or, is it not a problem, but some setting I (and the assistant there) don't understand?

Thanks!
