SiCantwell Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm playing into a Fender Blues Junior. I've been going back and forth, but I think I like Studio Direct better for the output than Combo Front. Seems to be not only louder but more rounded and dynamic. Have any other amp players tinkered with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneman2121 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 personal preference aside, depending on how it's connected; both sound great. i use both settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Are you using the POD's amp modeling? If not, and you're just using if for effects, studio direct is actually what you'd want to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiCantwell Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am using amp models on nearly all my patches. How does Combo Front specifically change the signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am using amp models on nearly all my patches. How does Combo Front specifically change the signal? removes the mic/air emulation and eq's it for a typical open back cab. (stack would eq for closed back) not every combo/stack is like this though... so go by ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftuller Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I also have a blues jr and after testing studio/direct vs. combo front I went with studio/direct. And I use full amp models in my patches. In my opinion it just sounds better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbsoul Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 FX will always be best if they do not hit a tube first, even if it's just power tubes. Even if you're not using L6 products at all, for that matter. exception maybe a tubescreamer or the like before the front of an amp, but other than that..
