bulkela Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The second bank of tones that I have in my setup has all defaulted to one setting, for no apparent reason. Must be a bug in the hardware. The setups can be saved and reloaded via Gearbox (running the most up to date vs3.72 and line monkey vs1.65) but the Pd X3 Live display just shows Tone 1 changing and Tone 2 remaining constantly set on 'Mr Clean'. I can't figure out how to get this to stop! And I've got a gig tomorrow! Has anyone else had this problem? Is there some button I've pressed on the controls that could have caused this? Is there a workaround for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It sounds like you have Tone 2 locked. Check the padlock icon in the bottom row of the display; turn the knob beneath it until the icon is in the unlocked position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkela Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks for the advice but I just checked and the padlock is open. I managed to restore the settings (again) by reloading them in from Line6 Monkey, I checked them in Gearbox, then quickly disconnected the usb cable. After turning the unit off and on it seems to be recovered, although I don't trust that it is stable. This happened before last week and I fear its corruption in the control software. When I was practicing yesterday it was fine for a while. Then I left the unit on while I went to do other things. When I returned to resume working it had defaulted to this 'locked' tone 2 scenario. I don't trust it now and I will not tinker with it before my gig tonight! I think I have to buy a different effects unit. I am planning to thoroughly read the manual today..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealZap Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 They are no longer doing any x3 development... if unlocking tone2 as stated above doesn't work for you... you will have to figure out the issue or provide more details... there is no fix coming. I have the same problem....hope they send out a fix soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There will be no "Fixes" for the X3. It should not need a "Fix" anyway. If it doesn't behave correctly after a reflash it's broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpodxt Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 editing a tone with Gearbox and Pod X3 the tone gets saved without me actually saving the tone, If I want to discard my edited tone and revert to my original tone I cant because the tone has been updated Is there any way to stop this happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkela Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Before you save the edited tone be sure to rename it and locate it in a place in the setup page that doesn't overwrite the original tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGGY13 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Hello, I read about your problem (because it is exactly the same as what I have in my hands at the moment, and I'm desperately looking for a solution here on the forum.... did you manage to solve yours (and now also my problem, with your POD X3 Live)? If yes, can you explain to me how you solved it. Thank you in advance! P.S : I finally found someone with the same problem, it's an anguish to look for this error in other owners of this pedalboard and not find anything similar.
