What kind of Marshall do you have mate? Do you use OD channel on Marshall? That's better than any POD preset..

I've had my best luck soundwise running it into the return socket of the fx loop, as a preamp.
Put before my amp it didn't sound too good. So I suggest you try setting it in fxloop mode, select a preamp setting and plug into Return. That's how I got the better sound with my Peavey on the clean channel. Still, the Peavey sounded better without the POD X3 but still, kind a fun anyway. -------------------- My bands homepage

Here's what I've found in the handbook for you amp mate:
"Loudspeaker Jacks For connection to external loudspeakers. The minimum operating impedance for the VS100R, VS100H & VS102R is 4 Ohms. The internal speaker on the VS100R/VS102R is rated at 8 Ohms, therefore if using an external speaker in conjunction with the internal speaker, the external speaker should be rated at 8 Ohms." What this basically means that your amp is giving full power of 100W @ 4Ohm, and your speaker in the amp is rate 8Ohm. This means that the amp is not putting all it's power on the speaker, only 50-70% of it, and this is why it sounds so thin. I had similar problems in the studio with newer valvestate model AVT100 which has the same design. That amp just sounds thin and flat with no bass, so I think I know what you mean when you say you can't get a good distortion out of it. It sounds flat and buzzy. I don't know if POD can help there mate, because it is a digital modeler, but if you want my advice take Boss DS1 pedal and put it in front and you will get a good sound from it with good low end. This is the cheapest and most effective solution I could produce with this amp. Also if you really want to make your amp sound good on overdrive you should plug it into some kind of a 4Ohm cab and crank it. This will open the sound and make a huge difference. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Thank you Ivan I have recently bought the satchurator and a metal zone it sounds AWESOME!!!!! No prob mate anytime. I can imagine the Satchurator working nicely, since the amp is getting along nicely with DS1 as well. Two pedals are somewhat similar. It's great to hear that you solved the issue! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I also have a Marshall to play at home (Valvestate mod 8080) and I've never could get a good sound combined with my pod x3 live. So I agree with Ivan that the best option is to use it with a DS1 or a similar pedals like Vissual Sound's Dr. Jekyll & Hide (awesome dist + overdrive pedal).
