cheddatom Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 just a poweramp would be fine. Depending on the type of poweramp you might have to increase the ouput level from the pod a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hey Steve - I know it's really boring - but the manual is your saviour! - You can run the X3 in so many different configurations, including running in to a power amplifier, a mixing desk, a recording console, a combo amp - or even splitting so half of it is used as a microphone channel for a singer and the other half for a bass / guitar player. Depending on which you chose could require some tweaking in the config menus to get things on the way to sounding right. I think that's usually the point that people get bored and give up with the X3 lols! But please stick with it - they eally aren't as bad as some make out. I really like mine! I've run mine straight in to a power amp and cab and can confirm it's fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitarist will still be able to change his channels and your bass tone will remain unchanged. There is a lot to explain - but to be honest, grab yourself a coffee and grab the manual. Line 6 write their manuals in quite a friendly way - and as soon as you start having a play with it - you'll get the hang of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
