Sounds good on my speakers but difficult to critique without drums and bass. IMHO maybe a little less distortion?

Yeah, I agree, it is difficult without hearing it in a full mix... I will say that I have 4 different tracks of guitar with two different tones mixed and panned and the individual tones don't have that much gain, but put them all together and Whoa! Sounds like a huge amount of gain... Thanks for listening, I'll post again with drums and bass...

Ok, you mean zip it and email it? Can you not download it from where it is? It is a pretty small file... Thanks, SteveThornspawn said:

Ok, I just made a zip file, but my Internet provider is having problems so I can't post it to my webspace right now... Sucks...

Truthfully, it's never happened to me before! I'm online, my IP just is having problems with the personal webspace file manager. Never seen that before... Oh well...Genius Gone Insane said:

i have issues with whatever software noise gate you used... that digital click is quite obtrusive.

I agree with the excess of distortion and I definately agree with the click issue on the noise gate shutting, but other than that, it sounds cool. What gear are u using?
Sorry Guys - away from my computer. Ok, here is what I used on this experiment:
I used a GMW star with a mahogany body, maple neck and an EMG 81...
This is actually a PODXT Pro for the amp into Pro Tools MIXPLUS. I did 4 guitar tracks of the same riff and did 2 panned hard left and right with Kazrog's setting based on the "Criminal" amp model and two panned +-60 with DIOBOLIC5150's setting based on the "Insane" amp model. The second set of DIBOLIC5150' setting tracks were 5.5 dB down in the mix. I then sent all 4 guitar tracks to a stereo aux bus that had the Waves C4 (multiband comp/eq) on it. I started with Andy's recommended setting for guitar and tweaked from there. Then, out to the speakers... Nothing else... Personally, I think it sounds a lot like a real heavy amp... I definitely hear mids and the gain is not that high really - it is the 4 tracks together that give that impression... I can easily fix the gate issue an I recognize it is annoying...
Thanks for listening, guys!

Well..., I'd say the key is the incredible PODXT tones that kazrog and DIOBOLIC5150 posted here. I've recorded the PODXT Pro many times and the bottom end always sounds like crap on the heavier amp models. These two guys dialed in incredible tones and the bass response sounds like a real amp to me. No small feat in my opinion, these guys have VERY good ears... As soon as you get your PODXT, load these tones and check 'em out. I'd say the best thing is that these tones are going to sit incredibly well in a mix... Also the Waves C4 set near Andy's recommendations really brought life to these tracks...

I like it. I dig my POD XT...gets some bad ass tones for recording. I'd like to hear that in a mix as everyone else has said. Would be interesting to see what it was like.

Not really diggin' it. Sounds very thin and digital, but as well as that it sounds overgained and undefined. Sorry, I'm just not a POD fan, and whilst I've heard Kazrog's patch sound good on some recordings, this isn't one of them for some reason.
Good luck in that ever-lasting search for tone
