Pod X3 Live thoughts

Before I start let me tell you all my background with line6 is almost 10 years if I'm not mistaken. I've had few xt lives  also  I own a Variax 300, a toneport and like less than a year bought a POD X3 Live.

I don't see a major fallow from Line6 and even people who own it too. For all the other products I see more interest but I feel like we, POd X3 owners are left behind. I'm always researching inf regarding new products and so on but for the X3 if you look around there's nothing much left to wish.

I remember the old days when the online community for the XT was florished and we were the top of the top regarding effects. Now is like just complaints an so on.

What happened? I don't understand why we and I include myself cannot support more the products we like and we use the most.

I don't wanna critize other products from another companies but as far as I see now even smaller and horrible products have more acceptance around.

I am happy with my X3 the only thing that I wish is that we were more expose and participate helping this community to see the benefit of our products.

 

Thanks line6 brothers:

    If I understand what you're saying.....

     

    You have to consider that this is a support forum. And they dont edit it at all. And a lot of the guys that made it more of a community have moved on to other products, didnt like the new forum, or just faded away.

     

    I do see your point. (if I'm interpreting correctly) What used to be sharing stuff and ideas and patches has turned into a complaint department. I think that is a by-product of the new forum format. There are so many more places to go and the vitriol settled in concentrated areas. The most active forums are the support forums with people experiencing problems. The guys that tirelessly helped people and defended L6 eventually did get tired of it. Stars or no stars they got sick of answering the same questions over and over.  The other places specifically set up to do the other more positive things are much less populated and appear deserted by comparison. We go weeks without anybody posting on the Share Songs forum. The Lounge is pretty dead these days too.

     

    Nothing really new in years and years so what else is there to do? The devices have been discussed to death by now. It's become self-weening because theres no new content and the regulars are dropping like flies. Cant even get a decent HC/fizz/AX-FX  flamewar going. Pitiful.

     

    What's left is the posters wanting to know why they still dont sound like Buckethead and the others that want to know why their Pod wont work underwater.

    The one thing that I see is that it seems like that there are lot more unexperienced players on the forums as a whole now, and as such, there are lot of threads asking rather basic questions.  I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, because that's really a big reason the forums are here.  But if you have been using a PODxt and/or X3 for a while, these types of threads really don't benefit you that much.  And even the most patient person will give up trying to answer the same question over a dozen times.  In a way, I guess it's just what happens when a product line grows and the customer base gets bigger.  It's kind of like when the indie band you like becomes famous and every 14 year old girl suddenly has them on her Ipod.
