QUOTE (Gabbez @ Oct 14 2008, 10:29 PM)  Hi I'm going to buy a LINE6 POD XT LIVE and I wonder if I can plug it in to a cabinet or do I need a combo or head, will it work and sound as it will on my computer? Cheers  // Gabbez!And in addition to jer's complete answer - the POD X3 atleast has setting where you tell where in the chain and with what equpiment you're using it with. Like PA/AMP/FXLoop and sp fprth (Obs! thats not the right terms Line6 uses, but similar) -------------------- My bands homepage

I would suggest saving some money and going for Valveking as well. That Behringer doesn't really get my confidence.

You think this can be something good?Cheers // Gabbez I don't think so. First off, what do you need a 412 cab for? Ok, look who's asking I've got two 412's myself but to my defense I've also got a small 30w tube combo and a small solid state peavey. A 80w amp, my first, that's from the late 80's and to be honest that's the one I've had most pleaseure from. It sounded ok and kept me going for a couple years but after one year ot so I felt I wanted something better. Small as it is I had no problem stashing it in a closet, doesn't eat a lot of room. That Behringer head and 412 cab, if you're a beginner guitarplayer they will last you a year befor eyou will start looking too. That's a qualified guess. Pricetag doesn't say 299 for top quality and you will see through that after a year. So what are you going to do then? It's not storing matrerial! The cab itself won't be worth keeping if you aim for a new head, you'd want real gear for that. I suggest you take a look at some more useful amps that could last you a longer time, a lot longer. Marshall AVT is useful at home and for gigs. VOX AD series, I hear it's good. Also Hughes and Kettner have a solid state combo amp out called Attax. Worth checking imo, I think that one could be a lot of fun. But don't make the mistake of getting a head + cab because the combination of big and cheap. You could end up with a lot of fire wood in the end. Try to aim for 12" speaker, two is ten times better than one. (a 2x12 i.e.) Pre amp tube can improve your sound A couple of channels An effects loop Jack for extention cabinet (so you can add a 4x12 later if you still feel the need) A few built in effects for a solid state is nice Headphoes jack if you plan on playing in your bedroom Then i think you're set for today and the close future and you'll have an amp that both works for gigs, band practice and playing with at home. So when situations change in a few ears from now you've had "all in one" and you can more easy know what you're looking for in an amp when you'll play the huge stages, e a studio musician or pub rocker or still bedroom hero.

Huge gigs, pubs, band practice, bedroom or what? That one is loud and still a 4x12 to go with it. A tube amp that will have maintenance, wither you hand it to the shop when it's time for tube change and possibly rebias. Cost + work. Are you up for that? I suggested solid state since I got the impression you were a beginner just wanting to learn to play and not bother about having to crank a tube amp. -------------------- My bands homepage

I wouldnt buy that floor pedal if I was you,mind you I dont know what price your paying
You might be able to get a good deal on a Line 6 flexytone 3 combo amp,that has a lot of the vetta sounds(I have a vetta 11 head)and they sound realy good.You can also go direct out to PC audio cards and music OS,and of course you have a 60 watt amp that should be good enough for small gigs and easily match what ever volumes your Drummer is throwing your direction http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/line6-flextone/7072 http://line6.com/flextoneiii/sounds.html there are some sound files to show you the tone on these lil amps:) -------------------- Ibanez geo and a line 6 spider

The Flextone sounds like a plan - POD, Practice amp for home and enough to gig with all in one.

Sure mate, POD Live is a good choice to buy first.
As for the amp, MickeM gave you a pretty reasonable advice. I think you will be happy with 50W hybrid combo, with possibility to plug in extension cabinet, then to buy a big valve head+cab that you will not push to it's good tone 95% of the time. If you wanna use only your POD for distortion and everything else, you can even get an amp with a one good channel and then use the distortion form POD. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
