Pod Pro - Opinions on using the pod pro live..?..


Considering getting a Pod Pro and was wondering if any of you have used this in a live setting. *What were your results? *Did you use a power amp (tube or SS), or did you just run direct? *Thanks in advance.

Dave

Pod Pro


I don't actually own it yet but will by the end of the month. Anyway, here is my plans and I hope this helps...

GTR > Volume Pedal > Pod Pro > (loop: GT-3) > Tech 21 Power Amp > P.A.

The Tech 21 Power Amp is simply a power amp with a 12" speaker but the big plus is that it has XLR's In and Out. So I will be able to use a higher quality cable (a.k.a. better overall, originally intended sound) from the Pod all the way to the P.A.

Again hope this help.

Pod Pro


ellsobrien, *The POD Pro also has XLR outs. *If you're going to be running direct to a board, I recommend using the XLR outs of the pod pro into the board and using the 1/4" outputs of the pod pro into the power engine.

This setup lets you use the pod pro's speaker simulator into the PA and allows you to hear a 'natural' signal through your tech 21. *

Of course do whatever sounds best to you, but I think after you get your POD Pro you'll see what I mean.

Pod Pro


FYI,

For more information on the POD, there is a review in this months Guitar Player. (I think Lenny Kravitz is on the cover). *By the way, I got mine about 3 months ago and every day I find a new cool sound. *This unit is awesome live or in the studio. *I agree with above posts, just plug the thing into your board and use the normal PA setup.

Pod Pro


dwswift - Thanks for the info.
My concern is that I won't be able to "hear" myself onstage just through the monitors. I like to be able to walk near "my speaker" to up my mix if needed. :-)
Have you had this problem (not cutting through a mix on stage through the monitors) or do I simply have a bad case of narcissism?
Also, that would be my live setup (above) of course in the studio I would be going direct to board.

Thank you
-Andrew

Pod Pro


ellsobrien, I think you may have misunderstood me a bit. *One thing the pod pro really has going for it, is that it has a "live mode".

In Live Mode, You can have your pods signal be sent directly to the board with the XLR outputs (with the cabinet emulator on) AND have the same signal go out the 1/4" outputs (minus cabinet emulation) into your power amp. *

That way you can alway turn up your power amp if you're not getting enough of yourself through the monitors. *

I hope I'm making sense here...

Pod Pro


Thanks for the feedback, I'm thinkin of replacing my triaxis with the pod pro. *I was dinking around and hooked it up through my 290 and was pretty impressed with the tones. *I'm going to have to do a serious a/b of the two units. ......Anyone interested in a Triaxis with the Abacus foot controller??... *
