diapointed : POD HD + Digitech Cab dryver

[hichembell]

Hello line6 community 

 

I used to drive the pod in usb mode and add IRS in the daw ....THE sound is amazing as you may expect

 

I recently bought a digitech cab dryver 

 

https://digitech.com/en/products/cabdryvr

 

It is a a digital pedal loaded with diferent Irs ...the idea is to use it in conjunction with the hd in a real band situartion... u can use it in stereo mode since it has both left and right input/ output and chose a different cab in each path..

 

 I tried it both in the main output of the pod to the amp / daw/ mixing board and in the fx loop of the pod as well

 

Well.......when I bypass the pod cabs and use only the irs in cabdryver the result is AWEFUL !!! what ever the seeting I use in the Digitech pedal... The result is better when I use pod cabs alone

 

YET ....there is a big Yet, 

 

when I use both the the iRS in the cabdryver along with the cab within the pod. it seems it has a potential to sound as good as I want 

 

who had this experience with Irs either in a daw or with torpedo or even the same pedal as mine ?? 

 

DO you think that the pod cabs interact in a specific way with the pod  modeled amps to sound as they are suposed to sound ???

You are adding an entirely new device. Ultimately, you need to design your tones all over again from scratch. All of the things you had previously learned about your pod mean nothing anymore.

will try from scratch ! even if in my daw I didnt need to change alot of parameters when using Irs plug ins
