POD X3 Pro Tips & Tricks: MIDI CC Chart

Here is the long awaited MIDI CC chart for POD X3 Pro. Once Line 6 implement MIDI in POD X3 Live (and hopefully POD X3 over USB) I would imagine these CC numbers will be accurate for those units too.

Tone 1 of your POD X3 responds to CC on the configured MIDI channel while Tone 2 responds to MIDI CC one channel higher. For example, if your POD X3 Pro is set to communicate on MIDI channel 3 then Tone 2 will communicate one channel higher, on channel 4. I have fully tested all these CC with my POD X3 Pro with flash memory 1.00 and USB firmware 1.00 installed in the unit.

Spotlight: Digitech’s “The Weapon”

DigiTech Artist Series Dan Donegan The Weapon Guitar Multi Effects Pedal

It is no secret that I’m a big fan of the Line 6 tones and method of doing things. Back before POD XT had the Metal Shop amp pack, there weren’t really any outright, crushingly good metal tones on that unit. I experimented with integrated The Weapon into my setup to fill this gap. Though a bit focused in the type of metal tones it offers, this pedal sounds fantastic. I did eventually sell the pedal but I have regretted it ever since. Check out this sound sample of me playing through all the settings of The Weapon straight into my computer.

Be sure to pay special attention to the sitar sound around 2:30 of the clip.
