*Tony pats himself on the back* The reason for the "pat on the back" is because I figured out what the issue was with the volume being so low: I had the cable that goes from the X3 to the amp plugged in incorrectly. I didn't know that the aforementioned cable is/was supposed to be plugged in next to the guitar input jack on the X3. I did that and......BINGO!!! Everything works like it should and there are no volume issues!!!

I still need to figure out how to set the individual volume levels of the effects.

For now, I just want to know how to go from my amplifier (I'm using a '65 DRRI) to the POD-X3.

Forumites: This past weekend, my Dad bought me a PODX3 from Reverb and I absolutely love the presets on the unit but....the seller didn't send the red book that normally comes with the unit and I'm confused as to how to be able to go through all of the effects and edit the volume levels to where I want them. That is all I want to do - edit the volume levels and leave the rest alone. Can anybody help? I would be so very grateful!! Thanks so much! Take Care/God Bless, Tony Trout

After reading on this forum that the Variax line has been discontinued, I was very saddened because I had planned to try to find a Line6 version of the good ol' Rickenbacker (I'm a big fan of The Byrds - especially the late Clarence White - and I was hoping that since I'm on a fixed income (I'm mildly disabled with Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus), I could get one of the Variax "Ric" guitars so I can play along to my Byrds recordings but......I guess that's gone down the drain.

Actually, scratch that.....it's not the speaker cable, either. I've still got the same issue....except that I didn't mention this: When I press down on the footswitch, it seems that I hear a very quick "surge" in the volume level then the preset goes back to the low volume level that it's currently at. Could it be the footswitch, itself, causing this issue? It's hard to explain the "volume boost/jump" without letting ya'll hear it - and I don't know how to record a quick sound sample so that ya'll can, in fact, hear it. I'd sure appreciate some insight into this issue because it's bugging the snot out of me!!!!!

I found out what the issue with the "volume" is......it's my '65 DRRI's internal speaker cable. Gonna have to get a new one. *sgh*

A couple of days ago I was playing my guitar and when I clicked on my favorite preset, 5C, the volume level wasn't very loud even when the pedal on the XT was in the "toe-down" position. the other presets were perfect volume-wise except for 5C. I tried re-calibrating the pedal thinking that that might be the issue but - nope - still having that issue. Anybody got any ideas?

Yeah, I do need to learn to do that. Unfortunately, I'm very low on funds and don't have a USB cable to connect to my 'puter so I can save my presets so....I'll just have to be careful.

That did, in fact, work very well. I'll do my best not to screw up another preset. LOL!!!

Thanks a BUNCH for doing that for me!!! I'll save the photos now.

All of the other settings/effects, I left completely alone (except for maybe a slight edit on some of the volume levels). If you could tell me what your settings are, I can definitely dial them in and save it. :) I was hoping that I could remember what the default setting was but - my memory ain't as good as it used to be and unless I write something down (which is what I should have done in this situation) I usually wind up forgetting it. Thanks SO much for your help!!!

I hope this post goes through: Recently I was editing setting "5C" on my POD-XT Live and I've totally screwed it up, somehow, from what its "default" setting normally is (I'm too much of a wuss to seriously edit some of the effects because I know I'll forget what the default settings are) and I don't know how to "edit" it as-it-is to get the default effect setting back!!! Can someone please help me out???

Even though I've played guitar for over thirty years, I've never quite understood what it meant to place one effect before or after the other. Can you explain this a little further for me? Much thanks!! Bill, so basically, to get this effect, I'd have to shell out some serious cash and purchase a vintage Colorsound/Sola-Sound fuzz/wah/swell pedal?? Crap....... <_<

I posted this question recently but - I guess I posted in the incorrect part of the community: With a Line6 POD-XT Live, is it possible to re-create a wah/fuzz/volume swell effect (they're all one single effect)?? Legendary guitarist, James Burton, used this very effect on a recording that he did with Elvis Presley, "Where Do I Go From Here?" in March, 1972. When I first heard the song, I of course, immediately loved the effect and when I got my POD-XT Live, I wanted to try to re-create that same effect but - can it be done? Also, I think that James should be listed in the section of the site with the guitarists and the gear they used. (Just my opinion, of course). Here's the song:
