Members W.Kyle.C Posted February 28, 2006 Members Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi I recently got a podxt live and have found that I either don't like the way it sounds or am not good at creating tones. I was wondering if you could help me save some time and answers a couple question for me ------first, What is the best way to use the podxt live......through a amp, direct to the PA or is some other way the best -------Second, I was wondering if the tones on Custometone.com are the best the podxt has to offer. I really hope they aren't since i wanted the podxt to be a purchase that would give me a good quality sound without spending thousands of dollars. Thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJLantz444 Posted February 28, 2006 Members Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have the effects pack that came with the XT Live, and I don't recommend it. I never use any of the effects in there... nothing useful at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the main purpose of a POD in my opinion, to give a natural sound directly into a mixing console and/or PA.Of course you need a decent monitor or indeed your own amplifier to hear yourself on stage.In my band we use In Ear Monitors and that sounds very good as well.

Your sound will be way easier for him to control than it ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzball Posted February 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2006 If you can't do that try a amp with a pre amp input. That works much better for me than the effect loop or direct into an amp. Also tweek the cab modles, output type, and level don't be afraid to try different things. I have found the best results (for my system) to be set to direct through the pre amp in on my amp. I also do not care for the preset patches mutch, I like to tweek and download others (and tweak them to my system). Not every system is the same so you will have to change settings to fit your gear.

Not every system is the same so you will have to change settings to fit your gear. That is very true. I've never come across any preset that suited my guitar and/or amp immediately. They're only useful as a kind of preview so that you get an idea of what kind of sounds are possible on a piece of equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members W.Kyle.C Posted February 28, 2006 Members Share Posted February 28, 2006 thanks for the advice......i don't think my amp has a pre-amp in though......i'm not sure i've seen one on an amp before......I i have had some experience with multi-effects type things before and i have found that the presets are normally horrible.....i was hoping the tones on customtone.com would be good but i haven't found anything that i think sounds good through my headphones for rythm type sounds on there either, a few good lead tones but that's it....i'll try playing with the cab models more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members W.Kyle.C Posted March 1, 2006 Members Share Posted March 1, 2006 hey...i accidentally left my power supply for my podxt at my church.....can i safely power my pod with a visual sound 1spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzball Posted March 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just to be safe I would say no, but I dont know the power of the unit you mention. Too little power could cause you to lose info, too much could fry the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members W.Kyle.C Posted March 1, 2006 Members Share Posted March 1, 2006 oh ok....thanks....well, if it is a 9v power supply then it should work right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzball Posted March 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2006 Check the power info for the pod and it will have to match the adaptor, but in all honesty I would not risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CT6Mblack Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hey, I will be getting an XTL within the next week, and I was wondering, considering people said that the best sounds they made were from scratch, if anyone has a good tone they've made on the Treadplate amp model. I love Mesa amps and I've played through the XTL and was very impressed. So does anyone have any details on some sweet sounds they made through the Treadplate amp model? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stylez Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 This one is pretty decent with a little tweaking depending on how you like it. If you like Mesa tone I would suggest getting the MS pack.http://www.withez.com/ezfiles/Treadplate%20Splat.l6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzball Posted March 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 I am debating the issue, I don't know if I would benefit from the junkie pack. I will check out the line 6 patches to see how the demos sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DJLantz444 Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 So guys... should I buy A. New Speaker for my amp + AC Adapters for my new pedals B. CC Pack I think I'd benefit more from A but B is cool. Maybe I"ll just save B for when I have extra cash lying around or a birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
