Since I moved into my new single guys apartment I have had to keep the volume seriously down (and make some space). Hence I had to sell the vox AD30 and the PEavey Nano valve (WAY too loud) and am discovering the joys of the Pod 2 I got to replace them. I usually play into headphones but sometimes use it into my Altec Lansing 2.1 PC speakers and its just the right level. Im still finding out stuff but loving the AC15, AC 30, bassman and marshall models, dont use the effects much except a bit of delay but they seem great too. add an FBV footswitch and Im set! This and the Toneport is all I need right now, though obviously the laptop has to be on first for that. Ive even sold the vox overdrive pedal, prob keep my other pedals though, love the Dan echo and coolcat and the dano distortion is great. Im really pleased I have got to grips with the pod at last, had it a few months but never really 'got' it til now. Maybe Ill practice more with all my new found free time
