That's always the biggest problems when recording to computer. What is best way around these problems? (don't use a computer?) ;-) What about latentcy issues?

You can open the bundle with Line 6 Edit and save out single patches to load with Gearbox so you don't have to overwrite the whole thing.

I was having the same problem as FlashW in downloading directly from Lincoln's website, not from your zip file. My solution was in reference to getting the patches directly from LB's website, in which case ALL patches are overwritten, and you definitely need Monkey to open it. BTW, LB has a new instructional DVD out which is very good. Talks about his tone, patches, certain solos, etc. Plus, I think he's got more volumes to come.

The zip file contains six files. Five of them are .l6t tone files and one is a readme.txt file. You don't need Line 6 Edit or Monkey to open them. I just downloaded the file and unzipped it and there are still six files in it. They still open with Gearbox.

You have to use Monkey to open it and dump it to your POD. Caution: It will overwrite all 32 banks, so do a batch save first. Once it's in your POD, you can use Edit or GearBox to examine and tweak the tones. Try that, FlashW., and see if it works. Worked for me. But I didn't get 5 files and 1 text file like bvesco said. In my case, all 32 banks were reloaded. Some were User files, many were labeled "Plexi Lead", but I think you get a dump of Lincoln's entire X3L memory. OK, got it.

There's either a problem with the unzipping, or something else. I get the LB-PODX3-V1 file name, and when asked which app. I want to use to open it, I select GearBox. GearBox then says it cannot open it. If anyone out there has a solution, please post, as I am not a zip file expert. Or would anyone have these five .l6t Brewster patches available to send as an email attachment? I have the same problem as FlashW. There’s either a problem with the unzipping, or something else.
