I have the rolling case but it's still cumbersome to lift in/out and deal with steps, etc. And, more importantly, it's more powerful than I need for my playing situation right now.

Hi. I currently run my Helix through a L2m via the Line 6 link as my stage monitor. I was thinking about switching to a QSC K10 to reduce my load-in/out carrying weight by the 18 pound difference. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions as to the differences sound-wise. Thank you.

Yes I'll definitely use the Line 6 Link. Thank you all for your answers. I received it the other day and it sounds great. I just had to adjust the POD presets a little as my cleans seem too clean now.

I ordered an L2 and should have it sometime this week. My questions are these: the speaker setting should be "reference/PA" on the L2, correct? And the "line/amp" switch on the POD should be "line?" Thanks again.

Firstly, thanks for the responses. Secondly, this would strictly be a guitar "amp" for me, I'm not sure I see the value in having the mixer that the L2t provides. And the hundred dollar difference is somewhat important to me. Of course if the sound is somehow better with the L2t over the L2m than the hundred dollars is nothing.

Considering that money is somewhat of a factor, would an L2m be do-able?

To further my predicament, in the past two years I've fried the Carvin speaker (not sure of the model number but it's their powered FR 12" PA speaker, a PM12 maybe?) not once but twice--most recently last night. I've had the output switch to "line" most of the past few months and the speaker volume at 9 o'clock, but I've also had it set to "amp" and raised the speaker volume to halfway. I've used an XLR out to the speaker, as well as a quarter inch wire. The POD output is usually set to about 3/4. I don't know if the Carvin speaker just plain sucks and I should get a QSC or a Stage Source unit. Or am I just doing something wrong. I have the output setting to "studio." I've heard this sentiment on here before but, I just wish I could get as good a sound as when I'm home listening thru headphones.

I have had problems getting good stage tone(s) when playing live with my JTV-69 thru a POD HD 500. I've tried a Laney solid state acoustic amp, a Koch tube amp (both run out of the POD and into the effects return), and a full-range Carvin powered PA speaker. I play covers, so I use a variety of tones, including acoustic ones. What do you all think is the best way to amplify this rig? The DT series amps seem more geared towards electric tones.
