shishirs16 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I have pod x3 live, and i am kinda facing issues to get a good legato friendly tone on it , i feel the noise gate is the main culprit here,i keep my threshold at 50 % and decay at 0%, if i reduce the threshold i get a buzzing sound off my amp cause of the gain , i reduce the gain and the tone starts sucking big time.any suggestions ,i need help with this (i just got and x3 live couple of weeks back so i am kinda still getting used to it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 have you tried lowering the gain? sometimes too much gain can work against you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmidiman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 What you are looking for Is a "Holdsworth" tone. This means picking an amp with a good ringing tone and to front end that, not with a distortion or overdrive, but a clean boost. Then you need to EQ the back end and drop the highs. On the X3 I would recommend the Boost + EQ stomp into the Line 6 Tread Plate. W/ 2X12 67 wishbook. 0 the bass and treble and leave 16 on the mids. Drop bass and treb. on the boost too, but not to zero. I turned off the parametric at the end, but you can dail in whatever you need. Oh, and roll you volume and tone to 7-7.5 on your guitar. I'm going to go into this in detail with audio examples when I relaunch my website later this year. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
