I got a new pod through all the great advice and recommendations from folks on this site...thanks a lot guys! My only concern is the sound quality on any note other than low E string is very "fuzzy" when I have it set to high distortion settings. I am quite positive it is because I am still using my piece of CRAP guitar...I haven't received my Yamaha Pacifica in the mail yet. Does anyone with a pod have this complaint? If not...it must be my guitar. It is a guitar with a speaker built into the body that I got when I was 15...about 15 years ago!
 This is what I first played the pod through...please don't laugh, my new guitar is coming!! http://meatexz.com/cheesyguitars/terminator.html It has to be the crappy guitar that makes the pod sound fuzzy right? This post has been edited by Praetorian: Mar 18 2008, 03:27 PM -------------------- Ben

I'm sorry to say it man, but it sure is one terrible guitar.
 Nothing personal of course! ( I have a cheap guitar myself)Regarding the pod.. I think it's the guitar. Have you tried any other guitar maybe? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I didn't knew such guitar existed (with the speaker in it
 ) It looks very interesting and cool name got too I love Terminator movies About the fuzz , well if it makes that noise on all hi gain settings it must be guitar..Also you could be able to set on pod any tone you want (with little tweaking)..Don't expect factory setting to sound all good..You need them adapted to your gear etc.. Try out with a new guitar a tell us the results Cheers mate -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I own a pod but i dont have the fuzzy sounding, i mostly play on the modern higain preset
with a little bit delay and reverb customized to my own taste..

What a cool looking guitar, very unique!
 But in answer to your question, I suggest you try it with some other guitar first or try to fiddle around with the pod settings (lowering gain or treble a bit) and see if that helps

Like most others here.. i'll bet money on that it is the guitar
I've played some through a POD 2.0, and it sounds fantastic on my guitars. Even my Ibanez, which has the V8 pickups i normally think sounds bad.That Terminator is s a seriously cool looking guitar though Would love to have one of those hanging on my wall.

Probably the guitar..
I hate tweaking my POD 2.0, but there's always a good sound on all my guitars
