Owners of the Pod X3 will be happy to hear that Line 6 has finally released GearBox 3.6! The software features full compatibility with the Pod X3 series and is avaiable now as a free download.
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time and from the small amount of time I’ve spent with it I think it’s been worth the wait. It’s infinitely easier to create dual-tone patches with this software.

I saw this on TV the other day and wondered if anyone else caught it. It’s a video demo of the new Gibson Robot Guitar. It features the guy from MTV’s old show Singled Out giving a quick overview of the guitar. They don’t exactly cover everything but it worth watching anyway just to see the way the mainstream media views this thing.
