I just received a present from a well too do relative. A POD XT. Now I mainly use a tube amp
and run just a comp and an eq too shape my tone.
I tried the POD in front of the amp and was not pleased at all with the fizzy like emulations of
other amps. But then I discovered you have too
set the POD too what you are connected too. Once
I set it too power amp I also ran it through the effects loop of my amp so I just use the power section. This made a world of difference. Using the tube amp and POD XT this way I was able too
congure up very convincing tube sounds. Although
this is a Toy too me I can see where studio guys love these. So many parameters too tweak and
complete control over effect routing (pre and post). I was quick too dismiss this as an expensive TOY but after a little while of experimentation I have warmed up too the Modeling idea a little more. Also using a tube power source I could cut through a mix much better than I tried with the Vetta and its solid state power section.
Not all the models are the greatest some are far from. I am going too try and gig with it soon and put it through the real test. However I would rather have the actual tube amps this thing emulates. But hey like I said this was given too me so I didnt spend a dime.
