yes Yes! But you have to record your guitar wet (e.g. with all the effects on it) unless you want to fork out for Gearbox VST, then you can record your guitar with no effects and use Gearbox to tweak it afterwards. Without the Gearbox plugin you can still record your guitar dry, but you would have to use a different set of effects on it. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Hmm that sounds strange Andrew. Even though I don't have my PodXT anymore, I could record a dry signal with it and then reamp it through the podxt if I wanted. There was special settings for it in the control panel for the pod if I'm not mistaken. I don't remember how it's done but you can send a dry signal to the pod for reamping purposes through the USB connection. Seems really strange that they would have removed this feature. Anyways, you can also use Amplitube or Guitar rig 2 to reamp a dry recorded signal if you want. /Marcus Interesting - I never saw that you could do that - although you can always reamp the old fashioned way with a spare output and input pair. Perhaps it used to be possible but they removed the ability so they could sell their $300 Gearbox plugin? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Now when we are on the subject of Line 6 and patches... i'm seriously thinking about getting Line 6 HD147 head. It's like a head with all the Line 6 effects and patches built in! You can connect the head to your PC and use a Line 6 to edit each preset - it's crazy! There is also an awesome foot controller which allows full control of the head!

Perhaps it used to be possible but they removed the ability so they could sell their $300 Gearbox plugin? Sorry guys for butting in - don't have a podxt - but this is one hell of a difference in the ability to record - and I think that's the jist of Andrew's and Smurkas' dialogue here but its worth emphasis . Personally I'd much rather record dry and then add effects after to the recorded take as and how I want with the ability to remove cleanly from the master take (yadda yadda yadda). Record wet and it's really hard to remove after the date... Even at 300USD if you don't have might be an essential if you want to record a lot with this hardware...

Absolutely Andrew.
If it's not too pushy/provocative would people still see the hardware as such great value for money IF they know in advance that they need to pay the 300USD to do this for recording? (OK I'm just being provocative but it is a hell of a price hike imo ) Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Its a ripoff though, you even have to have the pod as a dongle or it wont load up -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Its a ripoff though, you even have to have the pod as a dongle or it wont load up And god I hate dongles - synchrosoft or otherwise. I've got to a point where I'm starting to avoid some software if it uses a dongle for verification Andrew - it's one reason why I've started to move away from Cubase and more to Live! and Reaper. I've got too many usb devices as it is and really don't need a dongle taking up room - and I keep losing the damn things . (Beware Cubase line if you lose the dongle - buy the software again. Ouch - I spent a very frantic 3 days searching for mine recently because my little girl hid it for a laugh ) Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

So its like a pod xt live/pro built into the the amp head already, sounds awesome/expensive. I looked into the vetta II series combo amps and they are really more then i wanna spend on an amp right now. It would be a killer option though if its in your price range It's not expensive at all comparing to other amps! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Lin...Head?sku=482195 Check it out! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Im readin some bad reviews on it Bad reviews on what? HD147 or POD? I saw a HD147 home test today on YouTube and sounds are amazing! Also there are so many great bands using that amp that i have no doubts about the quality of the amp! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Can I make a suggestion?
A Pod isn't going to record vocals, drums, bass, etc... I'd recommend a mixing board interface that takes mic's then just put a good instrument mic in front of your amp and have at it. This will also allow you to record other musicians and compile your own demo's. Here is a link to an mp3 from my friends new band. It was recorded this way in his garage. You'd never know it. He's the one playing the clean jazz/modern lead throughout. Demo Not only does this song sound awesome but they were able to do multi-tracking to give it a polished sound. P.S. - Lemme know what you think of the MP3 so I can let my bud know!
