MGR/I love it « Line 6 Pod 2.0 »
Published on 10/10/02 at 15:00Purchased this unit at Mars Music in St. louis, Mo. for approx. $250.00
The question is what do I like about the unit?
My question is, what don't I like about the unit. Good golly miss molly this thing rocks. I've been using Mesa Quap preamps for a major portion of my gig sound. I love Mesa Boogie and the Quad. But I picked up this red bean and decided to see if it were as good as the Mesa on the Rectifier setting. I was blown away. If this isn't as close as you'll get to a Boogie sound, I really don't know what would be. I really don't think I'll find anyone who disagree's.
Did I get rid of my Quad? Hell no. Now just so I make sure I get the awsome sound my picking deserves, I simply run the Quad Preamp into the POD and out through the JBL/Mackie PA. It's nothing short of impressive. I don't even have a speaker cab anymore. Dun need it thank you. The speaker cab sim is super. I mean real good.
Go get the bean.
Nothing.
This unit is built well. I haven't dropped the bean yet, but hey, I think it would take it.
Just try it. I would have never tried this thing after my terrible experience purchasing the rackmount 2101 Artist. That was a cross tube/solid state box and flunked big time. I spend over a grand on that junk when I bought it. I had it 3 months and out the door it went. Huge loss.
The bean is about $250.00 and well.... It sounds like no other box of it's type I've ever tried. It's really nice.
