UTILIZATION
So voila, I was looking for a pedal fairly easy to use, fast sounds good, with lots of different sounds and effects, all to play live on a sound system (included coffee concert). I used to date a little digitech rp-250 did not sound that bad but the realism of the sound did not suit me perfectly. And after reading several reviews of Pod XT live and also being the owner of a Variax 300 I am persuaded by the purchase of the Pod without trying!
Well after only one week of use on computer speakers with little bass I'm really happy with my choice. Since we are in the use I would say that the editing of sounds is really intuitive and easy, we understand very quickly (as long as we are accustomed to a minimum multi effects) functions, for my part I hate floor on a manual, I have looked for some clarification. Not really use level for me no problem, simple and effective.
SOUND QUALITY
Come in to his: I first started playing on the factory sounds (with a PRS SE Standard, my Variax is being repaired, I have not been able to use the Pod) and j I found the sound nice, but I never liked the sounds of general works, so I quickly began to tweak the sounds to create my own, and, soon, I thought this thing sounded really! To start I took a bank then User blank and I just used the amp in simus clear sound with the HP simulation to see the quality of basic sounds, and I soon found some settings that sounded very realistic. I was looking for a while (without having tried everything) a pedal connected to a live sound that can sound as close to an amp (tube if possible) and voila my wish come true! Very realistic, clean sounds Vox, Line 6 Hi-watt and warm sound, with real bass, good midrange fleshy, sharp highs, we believe it really is stunning! Crunches are great too (Vox, Line 6 Mood, Mesa Boogie ...), with my Start Texas Special is equipped with a treat. Large saturations out with the big sound: rhythmic rock, metal, incisive solos, everything goes well with the right settings. The effects are also well made (chorus, flanger, phasing, delays, etc ...) and distortion pedals and other overdrives, compressors, booster, etc ...
In only one week of use I'm really pleased with the sound of this machine and that does not end to amaze me every day!
OVERALL OPINION
Now it remains for me to use with my Variax because of the characteristics that made me decide to buy the Pod is the ability to also change the settings of the Variax just by changing bank for scene is really great!
I am really pleased with my purchase, I would do without hesitation, absolutely what I was looking (for a while) for use on a live sound live (I play pop rock especially).
I did not use connected to my amp and I would not do it because it's not that I use request.
For pedals I find really good value for money (paid 360 euros new).
I play for several years on a digitech RP-7 connected to a tube amp and I found my sound for quite some time, and I'm used tellemnt I've always struggled with other pedal, especially connected to a live sound system.
I think I finally found the solution and I doubt (although I have not tried but heard the Vox Tonelab) I can do better for this configuration.
So very happy!
