  • I went against my better judgement and got...

    A Pod Pro and the longboard instead of the Boss GT8. Hey, it was $400 for both pieces that were stupid clean. The pedal still had the hang tag on it. Got it from the guitar player in Mr. Mister and he delivered it to my door ( their second guitar player that never got as famous as the first ).
    Long story short...I am not impressed. At least not as much as I was with the Boss. Sure, digging around I can get decent tones out of it, but, with the Boss, I didn't have to. Most tones were very useable right out of the box with the Boss....and if you had to tweak it, everything was right out front. My better judgement told me to stick with what works. I should have listened. It looks cool with the little red lights and the bright red faceplate....but, unless I find a monster in here that has eluded me, this thing is probably just going to be a dust collector.-Lou

    I have a Guitar Pod which I"m finding is good for the on-line sessons, but the sound out of it are... well, let's say I don't want to turn it on, unless I want to get to the lesson portion of it. I hear that many like it, but I did not have much luck with it.

        Go to the Institute of Noise and download the patches they have there. Many of them are absolutely killer.
        Are you using the editing software? If not... do it. Its a must.

          i'd keep it just for the studio. that digital SPDIF out will sound amazingling cleaner than a standard input or preamp. (if your sound card has a SPDIF in)

            Yes, I have been tweaking with patches and whatnot. Pods are just nothing more than over-rated POS. " Download this.....tweak this....you need this upgrade " is all I ever here. And it is a total pain in the ass to change a setting. Didn't have that problem with the Boss. Yeah, I will be buying new real soon. I just want to plug the sumbitch in and play. I want the stuff I tweak the most right out front and LABELED!! I know I am ranting, but, with all the hype you hear about these things......I was expecting more I guess.-Lou
