How does the old Line 6 Pod X3 hold up?
Will live in an age where there's a new amp modeler being released every 5 seconds.
Guitar players and engineers alike are always clamoring for the latest and greatest:
Kemper
AxeFX
Helix
One of the 57,543 amp sim plugins being released on the market every other day..
I have friends who, literally, buy a new amp modeler EVERY YEAR.
The funny thing is I always hear the same things:
"Oh, the newest (latest and greatest modeler) sounds just like a real tube amp!"
"I'm gonna sell my old amp modeler...it's not capable of producing a decent tone, anyway."
"I can FINALLY get rid of my 5150 now that I have the newest (latest and greatest modeler)."
I've been hearing this exact same statement since the first Line 6 POD was released wayyy back in 1998!
I've always found this topic fascinating considering it really doesn't make much sense when you think about it.
How can a piece of gear sound "just like a real amp" one year and not the next?
I've decided to break out my dusty old Line 6 POD X3 from 2008 and put it to the test.
Lets see if an outdated, 12-year-old amp modeler should be put to use..
Or put up on eBay.
