POD X3 Live + JM-4 Looper

Hi Guys

 

I purchased a JM-4 looper, choose this product over all the other loopers out there because Line6 makes awesome stuff and this thing is packed with features.

 

My intent is to use the looper in my Live on stage setup, this will be good for me especially since I am the only guitarist. I want to do on the fly loops and solo over them.

 

I am a tone freak, I hate noise and humming in my chain and I hate it when devices change and color my setup - that said, how do I connect the two devices (POD X3 and Looper) together to achieve the live setup mentioned above?

 

I might, from time to time want to use the drum machine on it (not a must though).

 

I should also mention that I have analog drive pedals that I use in front og my POD X3 right now.

 

So my current setup goes: Guitar > Analog OD Pedals > POD X3 Live > PA system & Powered Speaker (monitor)

 

I think I mentioned every detail I needed to.... Talk to me guys.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Carlos

    Re: POD X3 Live + JM-4 Looper

    I don't have a JM-4, but I do use my looper (Boss RC3) all the time. I would assume the setup would be similar to mine....and is as follows:

     

    Guitar > POD X3 Live > Looper > Powered  Speaker/PA system

     

    That way you can use your X3 Live's modelling options before the looper and make changes to tone as you go. For you, just throw your analog pedals between the guitar and POD as you have already done.

     

    Hope this is helpful....

      agile - thanks for the reply.

       

      I read on this forum somewhere that the setup you described didn't yield good results to the poster. He said that he got tone loss even after he turned off all modelling on the JM-4. I guess I'll need to setup and find out for myself.

       

      I got the JM-4 today in the mail.

       

      What about using the JM-4 in the effects loop, anyone?

        I can only see two ways of connecting this to give the results that you are after:

         

        1) Guitar > Analog OD Pedals > POD X3 Live > JM4 > PA system & Powered Speaker (monitor)

         

        2) Guitar > Analog OD Pedals > POD X3 Live FX Send - JM4 input - POD X3 Live left mono FX return | POD X3 left mono output > PA system & Powered Speaker (monitor)
