BassMunkee Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Ah group hug. As Dood says - you have to read the manual and UNDERSTAND how the kit works before you start using it. I still feel that you would not be able to tell the difference between a DECENTLY SET UP POD PATCH and a DECENTLY SET UP equivalent "actual" rig, but there you go. The fact of the matter is is that I have swallowed the manual, I do know exactly what I like and what I want from the kit, and should I choose I have a boutique music shop's worth of amps cabs and pedals at my disposal, all perfectly modelled and contrallable via USB - personally having made the jump, I'll stick with that and you can keep your hardware!

WalMan Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) [quote name='ped' post='469839' date='Apr 22 2009, 06:35 PM']Different strokes :0) I did make a grindy patch called 'SVT grit' which many people, like Walman, liked. I will upload a sample of it EDIT - no I won't, can't find it! these were all recorded with a pod though, except the last one which was direct [url="http://www.freewebs.com/mrped/facethemusic.htm"]http://www.freewebs.com/mrped/facethemusic.htm[/url][/quote] Ped its on the tracks [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=45987"]HERE[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46386"]HERE[/url] if possibly a bit in the background Edited April 22, 2009 by WalMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubrad Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 [quote name='ped' post='469853' date='Apr 22 2009, 06:45 PM']I was waiting for this!! A valve amp would win this no problem, it could just fall on the pod!! I reckon I could beat you up though ARGH. Easy as pie. [/quote] Mmm.. someone mention PIE? Inbetween the possible falling out and making up, isn't this just the [u]fun[/u] of gear? If there really was one perfect setup we'd all be after it and unhappy 'til we got it. As it is each one of us has something slightly different we either like or are striving for. I LOVE IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben604 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 er, sorry to hijack the thread but will any power amp work with a POD/Bass VT front end? Are there specific bass power amps? I've just got a 900w 6x10 @ 4-ohms, could anyone suggest a suitable amp? Cheers, Ben! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The POD can drive every power amp I know of to full volume, as can the V-bass. Not sure about other non-standard modellers/preamps. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
