PodXT

**SuperSwede** · April 11th, 2007, 12:13 PM

I got sick and tired of the bad USB latency and sound problems of my Mi4 interface so I decided to send it back to the dealer. Now I have no possibility to use my Tonelab properly so I just put it out on the net for sale.
So what do I do now? Well I need a working USB solution, and the only thing that came to my mind was the PodXT, so I ordered one today.

So who else has a PodXT?

Not me buddy but the sounds on the POD 2.0 are awesome you've heard them! You'll love your XT.

Too bad...I could have gotten you one cheap!!!

Ive gotta buddy, who has all but given up on his Pod to the point he gave it to me to try and program it...Ive done everything but plug it in, first thing I did was go online looking for patches...even that was a bit much! So I decided to ask him for the manual...the phrase "too much of a good thing" comes to mind.

His plan is to sell in ebay and buy 3-4 good pedals to replace it. Probably has 10 hours on it, tops.

I have played on a PodXT before, and they sound really good. Perhaps not as good as the tonelab when it comes to old tube amps, but the PodXT can do other things better. I really want a working solution, and the PodXT seems to be just that.
Btw, how does the PodXT (or even the Pod2.0, t2tb?) respond to pedals?

Yup, and imagine how lovely the 2.0 will sound with a Classic 50´s strat in surf green

What kind of pedals would you use? Modulation effects or overdrives? The amp models sound killer by themselves you don't need no stinking pedals.

I'm sure the XT has reverb,delay, chorus, flanging etc. like 2.0 has...you can do all kinds of neat stuff. You can tweak certain knobs on the POD to get them to produce more overdrive or have more treble output etc. I'm sure you can do that with the XT also.

The killer sounding track I sent you awhile back was all on the POD. Yeah a cool surf green 50s Strat would be cool but my old faithful MIM did the job well. Too bad about the Tonelab but trust me you will dig the PODXT.

Hey SS, why didn't you get one these Toneport magic boxes like I have! Mine rox - and it's cheaper than the Pod XT. The sounds are pretty much the same I think? It uses USB and I don't have any issues with it. The Gearbox software is fantastic.

Dont forget guys I still have a PodXT live for sale if anyone get a hankering to buy it. It is in like new condition I just never could bond with it and I really did try. Oops I see you already bought one.........

**Jimi75** · April 12th, 2007, 02:07 AM

SS, I'd go for the TONEPORT.
I am more than satisfied with the Toneport.

**SuperSwede** · April 12th, 2007, 04:01 AM

Well, I agree that the toneport is a nice piece of equipment.. but I really want all the amp models that the full PodXT can give me. And I already have 2 great sounding software amp modelers (Guitar Rig 2 & Amplitube 2) and I want a stand-alone unit to offload the computer when I record. I also want to be able to pick it up and bring it to a friend. And I need to have a low latency USB interface, so it had to be the PodXT. I´m also planning to purchase at least two of the amp packs that line6 offers, the collectors classic pack seems really nice!

Mark, what are you wanting for it?

**SuperSwede** · April 17th, 2007, 01:51 PM

Ok.. I got my PodXT today!

I am NOT amazed yet, but new units with preset patches usually dont sound very good. I have made a few sounds already, but I still have to say that the Tonlab does the amp & mic thing better than the XT. Still not a bad machine, and it will probably become better once I learn how to tweak it properly.

**Tone2TheBone** · April 17th, 2007, 02:04 PM

Get an amph!!! j/k

Go manual on the models brother. You know you're a manual kinda dude.

**stingx** · April 17th, 2007, 07:34 PM

Swede, I'm a Line 6 fan. I have had my XT since early '04. I have all the model packs and am running the latest firmware. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made. The stock tones are shit compared to what a little tweaking will yield. Customtone.com is a great place to begin searching for a tone you have in mind. I still prefer to tweak. 90% of all my recordings over the past several years have been done with the XT. The fact that updates are still made for this product and that there is a HUGE patch repository speaks volumes for Line 6.

Here are some of my favorite patches for you to play with:

Thanks Pete, I already had the Rob Tognoni patches and they sound really good! I downloaded all the other banks.

T2tb, get an amp? I just bought over 40 packed into a red kidney bean.

Dear Sir or Madam,

That could be arranged. Just be sure to record your lesbian friend paul with a healthy dose of that zonkin drive of yours.

You know, I actually knew what you meant by this? Middle or neck?
