MJR Pod Pro Settings...?

[jesterscript_transfigured]

I've tried to get some good MJR sounding presets on my POD Pro..I've gotten some good ones..but I wanted to hear how some other/better guitarists get it with their POD Pro's. I'm running a Ibanez JEM7VWH, Mesa 50/50 Power Amp, and the Pod Pro to a Marshall 4x12. Thankyou

I have a few nice distortions for direct recording. One uses the JCM-800, one using the Dual Rectifier stack (not brilliant) and one using the Soldano model (which sounds a LOT like MJR's sound).

I'm looking for a power amp for it now, probably solid state although I'm hiring a second hand Marshall 20/20 this weekend to try that. I'll probably get some Line 6 cabs because they have a very clear frequency response and will not colour the sound.

Can any of you give me exact settings on what sounds you thing are very good,

Try the Soldano model and put the gain just over half way. Then fiddle with the eq to suit your tastes (don't cut out too many mids). That gave me a pretty nice rhythm sound. It sounds awesome through a PA (I'm buying one soon, putting the deposit on it today).

After playing my POD pro through the PA I've found a few things. The soldano sounds amazing on it's own but I doubt it will cut through in a band environment. The recto sounds really come alive through it and it sounds a lot like MJR

I use a setting similar to what I have on my Mark IV. Dual Rectifier solo head (hold tap and select "rectified") drive - 8 treble - 7 mid - 5 bass -3 1/2, turn the distortion boost on, and possibly the presence too (I forget if I have that on or not). Remember when dealing with mesas, the heads have so much bass you really dont need to turn them up past 3.

ON POD PRO

Question about Tap Temo, how do I get to see if it is 400- or 500,
How does that thing work?

thanks

Not exactly sure what you mean but try hooking it up to your computer with the Sounddiver software because you can edit all the parameters in there.

you know the Tap Tempo knob, at half way what is it (200?400)
I dont know how to make it 400,200, ,... ect.


thanks

I just checked the manual and the Sounddiver software and I can't find it.

To change the tap tempo I presume you hold the tap button down and turn the tap tempo knob until you find what you want.

Just saw a photo from SX in Dallas the other night and MJR seems to be using the POD pro rig instead of the Vetta now.

RE: Dallas........A message was just posted on the Forum about the Dallas show. it appears that Mike is having some trouble. Here's what was mentioned:

Roadies failed to repair a faulty Line 6 head, then carted out a POD rack system that didn't work, either. The Line 6 head soon reappeared, yet Michael played through the rack anyhow. And his guitar wasn't even audible until the third song! And even then, only his leads cut through the mix.

Let's hope it's fixed up soon. Can you imagine the frustration???

He was using the Vetta in San Francisco, and I have to say, it sounded pretty damn good!
