mungiisi Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi all, I've been using Pod XT (and XT Live) for almost ten years now. (It's funny how the time flies...) I've been quite happy with it, even though I can achieve better sounding hi-gain sounds with some other equipment nowadays. I've been thinking of buying an audiointerface (Line6 UX2) and a software (POD Farm 2.5). Since I only play home alone, I have no need for hardware (I'm going to use it with my computer, of course). I've heard some samples of my friend's POD HD and it sounds really good. I'm wondering if I can get the same amp sims in POD Farm or does the POD Farm have different sims?

BigChas52 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 POD farm has the same sims as POD XT/X3, except they are somewhat higher fidelity. Think AmpliFi, not HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medwaystudios Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 POD farm has the same sims as POD XT/X3, except they are somewhat higher fidelity. Think AmpliFi, not HD. What about the Dimension D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChas52 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 There are a few sims on the X3 that aren't in POD Farm. Dimension is one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1975 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi all, Thought I'd piggy back on this post as it is a question related to purchasing the POD Studio UX2. Am I right in thinking that the physical POD Studio UX2 box doesn't do any processing and is just a USB Interface? I am getting a little confused between the Studio and Toneport models I think. As I understand it, the Toneport box did the sound processing and sent the "Wet" signal to the PC to be recorded as is, and the Studio sends a "Dry" signal to the PC which can then be edited and tweaked with POD Farm later. Is that correct? Or does the Newer Studio model have the same on board functionality that the Toneport had too? I think the other way to put this is do you need to use GearBox to edit the sounds on the Studio as you used to with the Toneport? Hope someone can clear this up for me! Cheers, Chris.

TheRealZap Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 the UX2 is essentially just an interface... HOWEVER, it has specific drivers and specific engineering to accommodate Line6's proprietary "tonedirect monitoring" which reduces the latency for the line6 apps... gearbox/pod farm. the older toneport and newer pod studio models have the same functionality.

chris1975 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for the reply TheRealZap. So does the Studio UX2 use Gearbox? Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Both can use gearbox. But pod farm has technically replaced it and there are not likely to be any gearbox updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1975 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks again. This is what I don't understand though. If you use Gearbox with the POD Studio UX2 what are you controlling? The sounds in POD Farm on the PC...? You say yourself that the Studio UX2 is essentially an interface, so what does Gearbox control if there is no processing done on the physical box...? Am I missing something here...? Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 gearbox controls gearbox, the sounds are on your pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1975 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 do you mean Gearbox controls POD Farm...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 no gearbox does the same thing as pod farm in this instance... its a complete standalone program. i'd advise simply forgetting gearbox... you don't need it... its just a different/older software interface that was replaced by pod farm.
