Pod HD

Hi All

 

Been a Line 6 amp owner for a few years but bought a Blackstar HT5 R Head and cab earlier this year. I was wondering how well the Pod HD would work with a 5 watt tube amp. Anyone got any experience of this or are these types of pedals best suited to computer use or running through a PA system?

Thanks

    I've run my HD Pro through my singers HT-60 and it kicks all kinds of ***. I basically just use the amp's power section to get the power tube warmth though. My main setup is through a Carvin Legacy. Sounds great.

        I do the 4 cable method and set the POD to use output Stack Amp.

          Ok thanks. Going to check it out plus the Fender Mustang Floor and the Zoom G3 which gets some very good reviews. Love my Blackstar but want the convenience of saving presets for different songs aswell.

            there's no fx loop for the bean so you can't run the traditional 4 cable method. there is, however, a routing that's similar. the resident know-it-all, spacealt, and he does know everything, mentioned in another thread recently. i'll try to locate it.

              Thanks Toneman

              Noticed that theres no effects loop on the Pod 300. Waiting for my local retailer to get the Zoom G3 in then I`ll go and see which one does it for me. Could take a while though.

                i run my rig, hd bean and tube amp, by taking the output of the pod to the fx loop of the amp and connect the fx send to the input of the pod. then plug the guitar in to the amp. works just fine. i haven't located the configuration space suggested yet. still looking.
