I'm noticing more and more that no matter what pod farm preset you have, what come after that in your chain really makes it work. Just pod farm is going to sound bad by itself, it just is. People tried telling me that when i first got it and i didn't listen. Get a basic sound from the Cali Diamond Plate or Treadplate and a tube screamer, then mess with EQ after the podfarm instance. Mess with compression and other shiz until it sounds how you want it. Don't try to sound like Joey, no one will/can.
