Thanks man!
I tried tweaking the pod like you described DIOBOLIC, it sounded really good, but its not that kind of sound im looking for. Hmm, im working on a little promo-cd, and would like to get a real killer guitarsound on it. I bought a POD XT Pro last week, and been tweaking it day and night, but i cant get a satisfying result. Maybe anyone of you guitarsoundtweakingfreaks could help me out?

Heres a link to what im working with:

Cool tone. Kinda sounds like the tone off the first Grip inc album.

Doesn't sound too shabby to my ears either... pretty good actually - and superb playing by the way. what kind of improvements are you looking for?

Yeah the guitar tone sounds nice. But the recording in general seems to be lacking body, perhaps needing some extra lows?

Uhm.. just looking for good-crispy-metal-guitarsound... that blends well in the mix. I'm not satisfied with the sound i got, but i don't know how to make it better. Hm, maybe it's good as it is

My plan is to record all the guitars, bass and program the drums at home, and then go to a "real" studio and record vocals and let them mix it. To save some time. Hmm, what about bass, any suggestions how to tune the pod xt, any experience on recording bass through the pod?

I'll have to look into that

If you have the updated firmware, you're gonna need that built in 4 band EQ. It can be very difficult to get a good sound for bass on the XT. Good luck.

Make sure to use the cab simulation if you're recording direct!
