Alright.
After a week or so of tweaking my PODXT, it's time for my lil review.
My equiptment before was a JAckson Soloist SL2H with a Sansamp PSA-1. Quality gear.
Now im using a custom axe(neckthru alder body with fixed bridge, duncan pups, graphtech piezo's, string saver saddles, trem-nut, Gotoh Locking tuners, etc)
When I fired up the POD, I was fairly pleased with the sound, but I kinda wondered if selling my sansamp was worth it or not. THANK GOD for Tone Transfer. Once I got it updated and connected, I found some REALLY good patches that NORMAL PEOPLE created and blew away the so-so factory patches.
Now I love my PODxt, and can EASILY say the PODxt more then replaces my more expensive Sansamp PSA-1. The effects (while not mind blowing) are more then adequate for guitar work, and I love the tweakability of everything.
I run the PODxt through Phoenix Gold RCA's into my Audiophile2496 sound card (USB recording is for "those" who want more computer resources being hogged and bandwidth stolen from their cpu and mobo)
From there it's into CubaseSX where I do my recording.
All these people complaining about high gain sounds must have poor equiptment, or weird tastes. I find the high gain stuff great. Then again, I have Sennheiser HD590's thru a Creek OBH-11 headphone amp, as well as Paradigm Monitor 9's with pw2200 sub and a Yamaha RXV506 driving them. The high fidelity equiptment loves the Pod Xt and the sounds are true and clean.
You can spend a long time tweaking the 'verbs to get the right sound!
Anyhow, here's my lil sample. The timing sucks and it's sposed to be KINDA like Rob Halford's "Made in **** " song minus a few changes to the beginning.
