I wanna give the POD XT one last chance...

lol I just bought a xt pro today off egay and wouldnt mind some patches myself. Im going to be using it for riffing ideas and scratch tracks, but i still would like some of the pod tones i have heard on here.

The only cool sound I got with a POD was through the Mark III (or II?!?)-sim + TS + EQ + V30 Speaker.
Though, I don't have a clue if this model comes with the XT.

I only used it to play at home - never recorded it.

Yeah, that's the Cali Crunch model (non metal shop); I never really messed around with it too much honestly.
 
I can't see myself ever selling my pod, even if I were to eventually own every dream amp I could ever want. It's just too valuable as a scratch track tool, and is really convenient for silent recording and what not. I'm also not big on ITB amp sims, as I like to save resources for mixing and whatnot, so the pod will always have a place in my studio.

Exactly ... does not even sound close to metal out of the box, but with an OD or dist-box in front it was really cool. Really smooth and crunchy...

I hate the tones, but is sometimes comes in handy for tracking (like today)....dunno...
I'll let you know when/if though

A mate of mine's selling a POD XT Pro for €300, but I'm getting the impression that he'll have it gone before I have the money together for it - either way, be sure to let me know what you decide to do, cheers dude.

Dude, don't say that to Lasse - he'll hunt you down and break your legs, or so I hear! Lol!
Lasse, if you were really gonna have a POD around for a 'just in case' scenario you're probably best just getting POD Farm.
I mean, why do you even need a POD or do you just have it for the sake of it? You're getting savage results micing your amps as it is!
 
I have revalverMKII....endorsee ;)

but I don't like tracking/monitoring rh guits with plugins (can be pretty cpu-demandinf after like 4-6 tracks). that's actually the only thing I'm using the pod for.

of course, revalver sounds better, and i'm using that for leads etc, just don't like plugs for rh-guit

I'd create a track, with Revalver on it and buss that to a seperate track for each rh-guitar you do (printing them). That way you'd only have the one Revalver track eating into your CPU.
 
sometime this weekend I have plans to see what kind of metal tones I can get using the unmetal amp models/cab combos on the PODxt. should be interesting.
 
@narcossintese:could you share the preset?I`ve been trying to get decent tone out of gearbox(POD farm)for some time now.Thanks
