I know that there are lots of threads about PODxt, but I would like to know if someone can get a great rhythm/riff guitar tone of it just double tracking (instead of quadtracking). I´ve heard that some bands like Godsmack track just 2 times the guitar and was wondering if any POD tone wizards of this forum ever craft a patch like this.
PODxt: Can you get a great tone with just 2 tracks?

Checkout the 3 POD XT tests on that page.... it aint godsmack by any means, but it's two tracks of POD XT.

lol, katze is just some rammstein rip off i want to do some crazy german vocals on for fun, but yeah.. that one is probably 4 tracks though, not sure anymore... what i do know for sure though, is that i used the "du hast" patch/preset for that on the POD XT.
I gotta check out reload, never heard it i think...

Oh, and if it's 4 tracks, it would be panned 100% left and right for the loudest two tracks, and then two tracks panned 75% left and right, less volume, different EQ.
man i really like that tone what are the settings for
POD XT guitars, no effects, two tracks
What I actually noticed is, that if I use my EMG-81 loaded guitars the POD is sounding kinda week... maybee the signal is just to hot for the POD. If I use a cheap guitar with a non active humbucker, the pod sounds much more full and focused. So 2 Tracks with a cheap guitar do sound still better than 4 with my emg-81 loaded ones... :-(
Did anyone else recognize that as well or am I missing something with my POD XT?

I hate that supercow !
yeah! turning down the master pot helps... but is still not so good. I tried the TS9 infront of the POD and it helps also to clean the sound with my setup.

Oh, I use a EMG-81 on a ESP F-50 guitar. Never tried my Toneport with a passive pickup. I will try to turn down the thing.
@Black neon bob:
Nice. On that "POD xt, guitars, no effects, two tracks" how did you panned them? Mind share the patch?It reminds me "Walk" from Pantera!
Yeah, i panned em 97% left and right, im not sure which patch it was, sounds like Shane's patch to me.. (kazrog).

Shane has two patches going around, one uses the Line 6 Big Bottom amp model and the other uses the Criminal model. They are both designed to be used together.

I don't, I was never a fan of their tone personally so I didn't keep them around.
