boring question: line 6 pod hd
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:30 pm
Not as cool as fuzz pedals, but I was thinking of getting a Line 6 Pod HD desktop thingy. I've been using a 2.0 since like 2005; it's gotten a ton of use but I'm a bit tired of what it can do and their new shit seems impressive. I can't get a good idea of whether it's for me, since a lot of the reviews either focus on the presets (which, if those are like the ones on the 2.0, are awful and unrepresentative) or focus how useful it is for Metallica Teens to get mega-high gain Brootal Metal sounds.
Some stuff
1. I do a ton of home recording and I'd use it exclusively for this purpose.
2. I'm pretty accustomed to working with equipment to get the best sounds I can out of them, so I expect to do this.
3. I have three beautiful amps, but I live in an urban apartment with thin ceilings/walls, so recording them is basically never an option.
4. I do expect the amps and effects that sound "real."
5. I wish they could have put some bass amps in this thing.
I don't know, do you think this is good for my intended use? If I use my Pod 2.0 for practice/demos all the time, would I benefit greatly from the upgrade?
