yamaha Dg-stomp vs Pod - Anyone tried the Dg?

[Antonio]

Has anyone tried this one?
Some of You suggested me to try it...I searched for reviews on the net, but didn't find any 'bout this one.
For what I know, Pod has distorted tones w/few mids and a lot of highs and lows, maybe too "heavy-metal" for my purpouse - I'd like a tone "ala" Satriani or Van halen or Michael Lee Firkins or Petrucci.
The Johnson J-station seems "ok" just for recording.

I own it. *I love it. *I don't get Satch tones, but I never tried, either. - I do 80's metal stuff, bluesy half fuzz, clean, & marshally lead tones mostly.

It was my pick (thought it sounded more like a real amp), but I think the POD I played with was a version 1, and I don't do MASSIVE gain, which is one of POD's fortes. *I dunno how much better the version 2 is.

I can reproduce satch tones and van halen with version 2.0
next week i'll share some recordings in mutimedia area.
wait and see

Dude, buy the Stomp. *It's awesome. *Just remember that you can't base your decision on the presets. *Make your own patches and remember to play with those speaker sims. *They make a big difference in your patch quality. *The sounds you can create on this thing are absolutely spot on to a real tube amp. *I even like it better than my Cyber Twin, especially when played in stereo (which is my normal setup). *The distortions are great, but the really high-gain tones tend to be a bit noisy. *It does have noise suppression, but it's not great.

One thing I love about the Stomp is that it sounds as good live as it does in your bedroom. *You can't say that about a lot of units. *

I've even been thinking about getting the new AG-Stomp to use with my EB-MM JP's piezos.... *Yamaha has done some very good work with the Stomp series.
