I'll get some photos when we get it back to SC. We're down in Florida at the moment and don't have the cable to connect the camera to a pc. I can tell you it appears to be a '64.Originally Posted by Josh

Food alright? Try the wine!
Any guitarist/engineers here ever work with the Line 6 POD XT Pro? I've played around with it but not sold on using it over a mic'ed amp... just wondering if anyone here loves it/hates it and why.

my rad is killer
Jason, in my experience it's always best to go Line 7 or greater. Why shortchange yourself or your listener?

Actually Line 7 hasn't been perfected but Line 6.5 would be the next step up!
Thanks anyway

I hate it.
but I'm very emotional and gay about how I feel about line 6 products.

understood... I was messing around with it tonight, sounds very close to a mic'ed amp but has a flat quality to it. A friend of mine recorded an entire album with the POD Pro and it sounds alright, I guess it's all about how you use it (much like a penis).

VS a mic'ed amp, the POD always loses. I can understand people that are in situations where doing a mic'ed amp setup isn't possible (home studio that would piss off the neighbors, etc.) having one, or for making demos etc, but given the option, I would always choose a mic'ed amp. I've heard some terrible, terrible guitar tones come out of those things that people insisted sounded ok. Of course, the cost of a good amp (not to mention multiple amps if you are going for a wide variety of sounds), nice mic pres, and nice mics is far greater than that of a POD, but there ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.
I've never been fond of Line 6 stuff myself. I once did an A/B comparison of a Line 6 Flextone next to the counterpart it was trying to model, a Marshall JCM 800 combo, and me and my friend both said "wow, that does a pretty good job of sounding like it...it's actually sort of close." But it defenitely sounded like an amp modeler, lifeless and sterile compared to the Marshall.
Verdict = Hate em'
