For me, it's nothing like playing one of my amps. it just gets louder or softer for the most part. The POD (or at least the XT) is like a static filter that just colors everything the same.

But nothing really close to what I want - and, after many hours of experimental probing and knob-twisting - no promise that I will ever find a way to trick it into what I want.Īt the bottom of that is a very pronounced lack of responsiveness to playing approach and technique. Stuff that comes within a long throw, maybe. So it's with real disappointment that I have to report that, for me, and the tones I like, the POD offers pretty close to nothing. The full version is not cheap (199.99), but there is a cheaper version (HP edition) for 79.99, which is also very good. It REALLY sounds almost like a real amp, and it's great for Hard rock and metal. Upon import, the IR Manager automatically shortens (or lengthens) all IR files to 2048 samples, but you may choose a less DSP-intensive, 1024-sample version from the Model list. One of them is definitely S-Gear, which is one very useful and potent guitar amp modeling software. But the idea of being able to dial up a range of tones quickly, store, and recall. Amplitube is good, but ever since I bought Peavey's REVALVER, I almost always use that to record anything.

I have a few amps, a Blues Jr, a Lexicon Signature 284 low power rack amp, a couple funky low-end 40 and 50 year old jobs. The idea of such a device is, to me, golden.

And when I say exploring, I mean really pushing, prodding and twisting every nob on pretty much every patch. 'A few years back, a pal parked his POD XT with me and I've now spent several long evenings exploring every patch. I found here ( ), the words to describe what I don't like in the POD FARM amps and overdrive effects (most of them) (from theblue) :
