I feel i need to talk pod

In a house even 50 solid state watts is a lot. 95 watts of valve doesn't even get going. An amp not running at its potential is a strangled amp. It needs to be set free. I've only tried to set my big amp free once and the rest of the band complained and the sound engineer said I was louder than the pa and I had to turn it down. The power amp was only on 3 so who knows where it could have gone. And with the cab it weighed over 150 lb. And 2 guitars and a bag of pedals. If I'm ever gigging again I taking my pod. Which incidentally will emulate my big amp.

If I'm honest I wanted mesa boogie rectifier. They were to new to be available second hand and to expensive new. So I get what I get. Then I hear a Soldano who had an amp in budget at the time but the money was spent. Then I heard an Orange rockaverb and I knew I had the wrong amp maybe. My set up has flexibility by I use 2 sounds. Argghghgh and silence. So four channels can be a waste.  What I really want is quite toppy very smooth powerful over driven sound. Marshal for me are to crunchy and at that point I hadn't met compression. After all the noise I borrowed a Pod 2 but no manual. I never normally say read the manual put for the pod god you do. I didn't know about the cab settings and for effect trawling and the second set of amp voices.

The pod is a weapon. I need to let you know that its a weapon. You can spend hours just playing notes and making new sounds with it. You can match your sound to what you playing along with (which is mostly what I do now). I don't feel that I can go on for paragraphs about the pod but I can say that its got ever effect other than a wah (which you can get with a chip change and a pedal and besides I have a wah and you can plug it straight in and asking as your happy with it in the beginning of your signal chain) and more amps than you can shake a stick at and it sounds like what its emulating.

After reading the manual I saw that it will emulate a mesa mk 2 which is sort of whats I have an a soldano. Its ticking all my boxes. After reading the manual it advises on how to connect your amp to your amp. My Laney linebacker from 1984 from a dog to something else. Turn the speaker simulation off and its there. No lack luster solid state over drive its sounding like a valve a amp. No reverb well why would u a touch of compression to bring the high notes in line job done.

   Hmm foot pedal time.

OK if you have read my previous posts I like to be a bit negative and thus post is no exception. The tuner on the pod is rubbish. I tried to check the internation on the squire and it was having none if it. I've also got a boss tu 2. Stick that in the signal path job done and you can use it as a kill switch.
