Hi All,

I'm using my Pod HD Pro as my 'live' rig pre amp...basically pod hd into Roctron Velocity 300 power amp and into a 2x12 cab...sounds great all patches set up to my taste using the 'pre amp' amp sims so no cab out and into the Roctron power amp and out of that into the 2x12 cab...I'm using the 'power combo' setting on the global set up menu...that one just sounded the best....Here is my query?

When we play bigger venues I want to use our PA to push the sound out. However when I take a line out from the back of the HD Pro..the proper xlr line out to desk..the patches dont sound so great...do I need to use the 'desk/studio' option on the global menu and re tweak my patches to get them to sound better, do I also then need to change my amp from 'pre' to full with speaker cabs in order to get whats going out to be a much fuller sound. Obviously when using  pre mode I bypass the cab option as I prefer to use my 2x12...but then if I plug into the line out all I'm getting is the 'pre' sound only??

Arrrgh to many options...any advice from anyone who uses these 'live' especially 'live' and DI'd through a in house PA would be much appreciated.

Cheers
