Just got POD XT

[Wadi]

Managed to get my friend's Pod Xt live and tracked this riff. Beginning to think that the gain is a bit too much or maybe its just my sloppy playing. Anyway, I think Pod Xt is great for what it is, way better than my underutilised V-amp.

I tracked this sample with an old Rockson guitar with alder body fitted with stock LTD pick-up.

new toy new sound loud

way to much buzz.....yup sounds fake

Yeah PODxt can do better then this. Does it have the latest firmware installed? Does it have the metalpack installed? That helps a lot. And turn down the gain.

Hope this helps.

i think it sounds cool... definitely different

not sure how someone can determine it sounds fake without being told... whatever fake means...

I like it...

I'm still working on more presets. When I switched the power on the POD its says model pack installed but I dont see any 5150 setting. Maybe its an earlier model pack?

Thanks Keiffer for liking my noobie preset

Btw, are there any forums that I can get some user presets to start with?

Which Model Pack do you have installed? There are four of them (Bass, Classic, FX, Metal). You want the Metal Model Pack for the 5150II.

For user presets, lots of guys here have good ones. Kazrog, Splat88, Ronnie_Rocker, TheStoryteller come to mind. Also check out:

Thanks for the links,J. Much appreciated.

I just realised its the factory fx models Unless, my friend decides to hand me the pedal, I might go for metal pack!

Doesn't sound bad! Takes a lot of time tweaking these units!

Here's a few samples>
Children Of Bodom-Pod rightside

Susperia- Pod rightside

Kataklysm-Pod LEFTside

Megadeth-Pod rightside

Just tweak, practice, tweak some more. All these are with NO post work and with post work they're dead spot on!

Good Luck

Are those without the add-on packs?

And so, I kept on trying and came out with this jcm800 with epi stock pups.

To my ears, I think its sounds kinda good especially when the guitar used is a China made Epi with stock pickups.
