The effects have dj t lists and the rest.
CHARACTERISTICS level, it does not lack much the Pod XT Pro. The only drawback is the LCD screen unreadable if you are not in the face, fortunately we can connect the Pod to PC / Mac to edit the sounds easily.
Big highlight of the Pod, the number of amps, effects pedals and simulated, there's more choice and can be set days.
UTILIZATION
The config is very simple gnrale especially through the software Line 6 Editor. The edition is just sounds.
Through the Pod is plutt well done via knobs and especially thanks the screen (very readable) which allows to see the level of those unlike other multi effects (such as Tonelab for example)..
One can only regret that the software interface srieusement date and is far from being trs at Guitar Rig example also offers many more possibilities.
The manual (in English) is for once well Designed, intelligent and easy read with good advice.
A single large black spot. When you have more Line6 stuff you can not use packs or software as desired, it must TRANSFR licenses and is a real pain
SOUND QUALITY
We will not restart the dbat modlisation against the lamps.
Although this sr Pod does not sound as well as vritables amps, it does not propose changes that could be done on an amp and the AIR vritable that does good trs not put more than one micro unlike Guitar Rig 2 eg.
But try to have a lot of modlisateurs (Vox Tonelab, Amplitube, Guitar Rig 2, Gearbox Software), I find this Pod XT Pro is THE FIRST place, even if for me Guitar Rig 2 is even better (but offer less choice of amps).
The sound quality is also much better than the Toneport with Gearbox used (ie software) is obvious for the distortion and amp hi gain. In fact I find the Metal pack really good, we get a big sound, with a fine grain and good prsence.
The Pod XT presets are medium and small (compared GR2), so I'm going (and I use those available in Gearbox, a little better)! But when you start CRER own, we see the potential of the Pod. With packages available as an option, it's even more crazy, y 'is so we do not know which way to the head. What a pity Edit software is not better damn it rough They would do well to pump some of Native Instruments.
I use it with my electric guitars, mostly my Les Paul (the rendering is superb) and the LTD (not bad too but I have to work more on it to get something OK). I find the sound plutt fat and warm, unlike what is said here, definitely not worse than the Tonelab.
OVERALL OPINION
I'm over the past few weeks.
I chose the Pod XT Pro for:
- The price seems a lev but when you see what we have in the package, ultimately it is a matter that is also especially sound card for PC / Mac. It is little more than a little amp lamps that offers no flexibility.
- The choice of amps and effects, and impressive quality that offers a wide range trs to play in any style as long as they get involved. And the opportunity to put day and add modlisations. TRS is a big advantage over my old ToneLab.
- The sound quality without having to be chi ... through a microphone, sound card etc.. Here we have a top its rapidly
- The possibility to use the Pod without the PC / Mac ct IDAL to go on holiday with the Pod and guitar in the trunk.
What I dislike:
- LCD display his rotten, worthy of the 80s, and even my Casio was even better readability level!
- Interface Line 6 software that dates and offer less opportunities than those of Native Instruments, which remains for me the top of the modlisation (but ncessite a PC / Mac).
With exprience (APRS have used all existing solutions), I found my happiness and a near perfect product which offers the advantage of the rack while offering the possibility of adding a p Dali for the scne.
I was using before the Vox Tonelab, which offered a good quality sound, but silent limit level effects and could not have updates, not to mention the connection to PC / Mac silent limit.
I classify all of the same Guitar Rig 2 above level quality sound and especially product and interface possibilities (in particular through changes, multiple microphones, splits etc.). But it ncessite a PC / Mac and does not offer much modlisations the Pod, and not the possibility to buy optional packages. The community around Guitar Rig 2 is almost nonexistent.
In short, APRS several years of tests and trials of all kinds, I found a pice of my matress set studio and I am fully satisfied.
