Hi,
I've recently purchased a POD HD Pro X in replacement of my amp, and I love it so far. However, I've gotten into recording, and I've been running the processor's signal through an XLR cable into my audio monitors, and I'd love to legitimately 'mic-up' a 4x12 cabinet. But to my knowledge, you must have a power amp in order for a multi-effects processor to work with a cab - please let me know if I'm wrong. So what are the methods of connecting an effects processor to a cab? Also - do you lose any of your tone through a cab, or does it sound any different? Thank you in advance.
Here's the cab that I'm looking at: (Line 6 Spider V 412 320-watt 4x12" Slant Extension Cabinet)

Here's the Multi-Effects Processor I'm using: (Line 6 POD HD Pro X)

(Feel free to suggest any other brand or model of cab that could possibly be better - thanks)
