15 - USB device connection indicator: If the POD X3 device is disconnected or powered off, the little
USB plug icon blinks here to indicate that the USB connection is not active.
16 - Info Bar: Text appears in this bar relating to what your mouse cursor is currently hovering over.
This is a very handy source of tips while using GearBox – remember to look here for info while mousing
around!
17 - Effect Model menu: Several of the Effects Blocks will show a menu here where you can choose
the specific Effect Model within the selected category. When you choose a Model from the list, the
Effects Block edit display (see next item description) will change to show its controls.
18 - Effects edit display: This panel displays the controls for the selected effect block (see #10 for
how to choose to show an effect block’s edit display, and #17 above for how to choose a specific effect
model).
19 - Pedal Control options: The Pedal Control selectors here are for the wah/volume/tweak pedal
built-in to POD X3 Live, and the pedals on Line 6 FBV Series foot controllers that can be used with
POD X3. This set of controls is only visible when the Effect edit display is shown - see #2 Show/Hide
buttons. (Note that these settings are the equivalent of the Pedal options in the System screen of your
POD X3/POD X3 Live).
Note - The Pedal Control options and behaviors described here are for POD X3/X3 Live with USB
firmware version 1.01 and Flash Memory version 1.11.1b (or later). If you have earlier versions then
your options may differ slightly. It is highly recommended you use Line 6 Monkey to get all the latest
updates!
