This is my first post here, so a little background...I've been playing for 45 years, all kinds of different setups, from the good, the bad to the downright ugly; with our mortgage finally paid this past year, it freed up some cash, so I went whole hog on pedals, and found myself chasing tone much more than I was playing....the setup was getting more and more complex and frustrating, with pedals going in and out the door on an almost weekly basis.
About a couple weeks ago, I finally said to heck with it, and sold all my pedals; I got a used POD HD Pro and a shortboard controller to go with it; I also have a Gainiac which I'm using to give just a bit of color as a preamp (clean setting only), as well as a Peavey dual band EQ, a Lexicon MX300, and a Lexicon MPX100 in my effects loop that I use sparingly....it all runs into a Peavey 50/50 power amp and a Bugera 2x12 cab, and that's it. Did a bit of minor tweaking to some patches, but I've found that I am quite happy with many of them as are; I wish I had made the jump sooner, instead of listening to the gripers on The Gear Page.
Anyhow, here I am, and I'm glad to be aboard. For starters, I'm just wondering if anybody has any suggestions on the HD Pro for use with the gear I've listed. Just don't suggest I buy anything else..the remaining cash I had from the sale of the pedals is going toward a trip to Hawaii I'm taking in May with my wife and a snowblower :).
