PODXT OR WARHEAD?

[SocialNumb]

Here is the situation ........

I'm getting together with a dude I just met to record some songs...
Now he is a great GT player but has no amp........ (I don't know why)

Now I got a Pod XT and a Warhead 1/2 S. w/ v30's.
(by the way can someone explain to me why this head hasn't worked in years and just last night does?)

Which would give me better results in your opinion?
solid vs virtual tube sound with altiverb n cab response?

 

[Jackal_Strain]

I've yet to hear a recording of the warhead that sounds good, so maybe you could change my opinion of this head?

I kept getting told the Warhead only works with the 2 warhead cabs, one has 2 15"s in it. So I lost interest in the amp.

 

[Jackal_Strain]

I've never seen the point in having a guitar cab with 15" peakers in it.

 

[sparkyness]

I even hate bass cabs with 15's

 

[SocialNumb]

Just what I thought.... the thing does suck lol.....
PODXT it is..... I better sell the Warhead now before it dies again =)

 

[Jackal_Strain]

Is the warhead tube or solidstate?

 

[Remy_5150]

solidstate....one of the better solidstate amps you can get

Newest Decap album was 2 tracks 2ch Triple Recto and 2 tracks Warhead - sounds killer to me!

yea i had a randall head very simular to the warhead and i honestly hated it.

Id rather have a pod xt than the warhead and the pod xt pro has reamp built in which is pretty cool i thought but i went with a tube peavey ultra plus and im very happy over the randall its night and day

Just for sh*ts N giggles anyone know who else ever used a Warhead for actual recording?

Decapitated, Evergrey had one in the studio at one point (not sure if it was actually used on record), Dime on Damageplan's record.

Actually, that's the best and most innovative brutal guitar sound I heard in the last couple of years. I'm really amazed how well those 2 amps blend together to create this blood soaking punchy brutal yet warm deathmetal sound.

So I would definitely try layering PODxt with your Warhead, maybe you can get some killer results!

 

[SocialNumb]

hmmm nice thought Tym... might try that... after all we really are gonna try to do something new experimental stuff

Have you seen this thread SocialNumb?
It's refering to the first song called "Mindfunk".

oh yeah I read this... I don't know why & I usually do not think this way even tho I'm 32..... but it just sounds so dated <

 

[Gnash]

Does your Warhead work ok with a non warhead cab? I want one, but I've heard stories, man.

 

[SocialNumb]

Gnash.
sorry I've been sic.... still am
I haven't tried it on any other cab mostly because the warhead stopped working about a year after I got it....(I pre ordered it) it suddenly just works now strange... after so many years..

back to bed arrgg.....

Well the point is to sound like a stupid fucking mac truck of course uke: .

I to think they are stupid guitar is a midrange instroment why on earth do you want that kind of shit.

That all being said I am really currious how this would sound live with my v30 cab and 5150 head:

Now that's just silly. I can't even think of a reson to use a guitar subwoofer in a recording. I can see why some people would use it live, but in my opinions it's a nightmare to run more than one mic on a guitar amp live.
