My only good experience from POD (X3 Live) is for home recording, using it as a sound interface. It's touch to measure up with a good tube amp.
For a better live sound, maybe a small 1-10 watt amp that you mike? Real amp sound! For easier to use on the spot, I've tested a Blackstar Dual pedal. It got two channels clean/crunch + dist, tube driven. Easy to dial in, great sound. But as with everything, going straight into a PA you will lose some. I felt that especially sharing the speakers with the vocalist it's less good. Same goes for a miked real amp. I'm convinced though that with a bigger PA, perhaps even assigning the guitar to it's own speakers, it will sound up to par. -------------------- My bands homepage

Hmm, that's a tough one, not knowing exactly what the problem is, or hearing it. All I know is that if I had those problems and a POD, I would swithed it with some guitar preamp device, possibly a pedal like tony recommended Blackstar one. H&K one could be good as well. You should try and see, you will definitely need speaker simulation as well. Getting some DI box with speaker simulation can solve this.

Those multieffects units don't do too good live. I would definitely recommend you to get a classic setup - mic'ed amp + some stomps. When you go from POD straight to PA not only you will have "different" sound every time but you may have monitoring issues. Guitar amp on stage gives you control - you can set its tone how you like it + it acts as good monitoring so you and your band mates can hear you well.
