L6T Files and Pod X3

[bobbyshank]

I will apologize in advance for my question because it has been touched on before but no forums have guided me appropriately.

 

I have and Pod X3 and want to download use some custom tones.

 

Please note I've never registered the product or ever connected it to a computer. I have Gearbox, Line 6 edit and Line Monkey on my computer.

 

I've looked at the videos but they date back to 2009 and the pages, icons and terminology have changed a little. A post also mentioned I may need Farmpod sotware.

 

Can someone please give me a step by step instruction? Point form will suffice.

 

 

Kind Regards

Welcome to the Forums Bobby,

 

The vids may be old but they are still relevant and use the correct terminology for the purposes you need.

That is the vid for an X3L but its the same for X3.

 

1) Download a tone from CT (link is at the top of this page).

 

2) Connect your X3 via usb cable to your PC. It should install it.

 

3) Start Gearbox and you should see your X3 detected.

 

4) 2 windows will open the "HW Memory Window" of tones on your X3 and the editor itself.

 

5) Drop & Drag the tone you downloaded into a slot of your choice

 

6) There is an option at the top left to save (its either sync or save - not home so its a IIRC).

 

The vid will go through visually what is done albeit a lil briskly at times. But once you are connected to Gearbox things will look more familiar and you give you a frame of reference.

G'Day BillBee,

 

Thanks for your info. There were a few challenges with Line 6 Monkey but I eventually sorted it out.

I have Gearbox running and I can move patches around which is great.

 

Thanks for your assistance- it was a tremendous help.

 

Regards
