i love their chun sound, its heaps of compression tbh and i think the chuns e.q is tied sooo close to the kick e.q, thats how they get that really THUMPY sound that blows your ears off. Listen to Wounds or pillars
Well someone in the forum did a superb cover of cynic's "veil of maya" with a Pod and practically nailed the tone, but I'm guessing that's not what you're talking about...
I think Michael Keene dials in very "unique" tones. I can't see his tones working or sounding good outside of an album he's engineered, but on the veil of maya album it sounds cool.
