after 6 years using direct pod to the mixer, every weekend, I learned to relax, I learned that in each PA the pod behaves differently, and found that to get a good tone from the pod is necessary an quality PA ,when I started using I almost went crazy. in every show I changed all the parameters of the pod, but it's not how you do it depends on the PA
there are days that my sound is beautiful and there are days it is horrible,
one lesson I learned is that the pod has excess bass, especially in marshall models, which are the ones that use,
On PA, it is very evident, work with little bass and little gain
so is the pod,
there is not much to do
