Members porsch8 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I guess I am basically referring to the Line 6 gear. Can you actually use it in a live situation turned up loud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danyeo Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have used a POD through a PA and it was ok but i have seen guys use Line6 amps live and always thought they sounded like pure {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members savoldi Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by porsch8 I guess I am basically referring to the Line 6 gear. Can you actually use it in a live situation turned up loud? Sure you can. Problem is that once you find a patch you like at home, it might sound completely different from venue to venue. You'd have to adjust the guts of it to get the best sound every time. A standard amp you can just tweak the front of it and your guitar. Not so hard and you have limited choices. With a modeler it can take a long time to get it just right, and that's after much tweaking. And you might have a zillion different things to tweak. Not fun.

Members syrinx Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Can`t agree sav- I have used them in many venues- always through my own dedicated PA. Like any amp you have to tweak- but all the needed tweeks are just knobs on the front. Maybe i don`t try to push the envelope as far as you, but there are good sounds to be had for sure! But truth be told I am back to supers and bassmans now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stratotone Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I've gigged for nearly 2 years with a Vetta - no problems at all cutting through and being heard. I mic a cab though, I don't like the direct outs for live use. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Megadeth7684 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think my POD sounds crappy at loud volumes. I don't care though, I only use it for effects with my amps. The amp and cab models aren't my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But truth be told I am back to supers and bassmans now. I gave up on trying to use presets for this reason. I put it on manual and select what I need. Usually the Marshall stack, sometimes a Deluxe Reverb or Mesa Boogie. Tweak the EQ/drive/cab as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
