I prefer adding reverb and delay in the mix. These are fairly clean but you can add chorus or reverb if you think itГўв‚¬в„ўs needed. Since IГўв‚¬в„ўm mostly using the POD X3 for my Airbag sounds, I havenГўв‚¬в„ўt spent much time trying to replicate DavidГўв‚¬в„ўs tones but thereвЂ™s a couple of patches that I use as a basis for most of my tones. I havenГўв‚¬в„ўt really explored this enough to tell if it works or not but I imagine it would sound cool on a stereo rig. The X3 also features a dual tone option that allows you to combine two entirely different setups or guitar and vocals at the same time. Digital sims will always sound the same day in/day out but youГўв‚¬в„ўll have the recognisable character of each unit. The organic tone and response from cranked tubes are impossible to recreate because it depends on so many factors, вЂ“ pickups, stompboxes, speakers, the room etc. Digital sims will always have a problem with recreating the dynamic tone from tube amps. The Hiwatt DR103 sim sounds OK but I prefer using a Line 6 tube preamp sim for cleans. It doesnГўв‚¬в„ўt really sound like a Leslie, but it adds a nice modulation to distortions that kind of resembles DavidГўв‚¬в„ўs tones on his first solo album and The Wall live shows. One cool feature is the Rotating Speaker simulator. I mostly use high gain amps for overdrives and distortion and add pedals for boost.

The Dynacomp and Chandler Tube Driver sounds very nice though, although perhaps not quite like the originals.

The Big Muff is useless and I canГўв‚¬в„ўt figure out how to use the Binson nor the UniVibe. Unfortunately the majority of these effects sucks big time. The PODs offers a range of classic amps and stompboxes and for us Gilmour fans itГўв‚¬в„ўs especially interesting to see that theyГўв‚¬в„ўve included classics like Hiwatt DR103, Fuzz Face (NKT275), RAT, Dynacomp, Chandler Tube Driver, Big Muff, Binson echo to name but a few. I found the best results with just the best sounding amps and started from there, balancing the input/out volumes and added effects, regardless of what David or I with Airbag, would have chosen in a live situation. ItГўв‚¬в„ўs easy to get tempted and use only the familiar amps and stomboxes but to quote a little 900 years old green man Гўв‚¬вЂњ you have to unlearn what you have learned. I spent a lot of time at first figuring out how to tweak this thing. ItГўв‚¬в„ўs easy to use with Garageband, Logic and other recording software. I record all my guitars for Airbag demos at home and the POD X3 serves as both a sound interface for vocals/acoustics and electric guitars. Check out the Line 6 site for more details. The display is also bigger with all the stomboxes lined up for better access. Newly added features includes a jaw breaking collection of stompboxes and amp sims, vocal and bass pre-amps with XLR output for microphone, dual tone setup and USB 2.0 output. The X3 continues in the same tradition as the previous PODs only with more of everything. Nor does the POD X3 but weГўв‚¬в„ўve become very good friends! HereГўв‚¬в„ўs a little review. Years ago my main setup included a Boss GT-3 and IГўв‚¬в„ўve tried about every digital unit there is but none of them seems to cover it all. I recently got my hands on a POD X3 Гўв‚¬вЂњ Line 6s latest power station. Updated the patches and added settings for easy setup on other Line 6 processors.
