How do you make an EF500/LS800 setup sound more hifi?

I've tried about every recomendation I could dig up on the internet to get a better tone with it live & it just never worked.

I'll gladly haul an amp around these days to get the tone & interaction that you can only get with an amp.

Good luck though.

I'm glad you said it :thu:

 

Dreadful sounding to say the least....

Dude...

 

 

Are you kidding?

 

 

Take a look at my sig...I've got (or had) every piece of high end gear known to man (with the exception of a Dumble). Soldano SLO, VHT Ultraleads, Mesa Rectifiers, Trem-O-Verbs, RoadKings, Marshall DSLs, Bogner 101Bs, Uberschalls, etc...you name it. I've either owned it or jammed with it.

 

 

 

And by far and away the most crushing sound I've ever heard is the PodXTL through a good PA. I mean its like night and day. This other stuff doesn't even compare to it. Granted I don't do classic rock...

 

 

 

 

In fact I find 'normal' amps almost unusable for what I need to do.

Dude........

 

I'm dead serious......& I'm really not trying to sound like an ass here,but the tone deficiancies are not in the system you have chosen IMO.

In all fairness I've not heard a XTL so I can't comment on it.

 

Once again....good luck.

Hold up. I think you missed something. I dig the sound I get from the Pod XTL into the studio monitors...I like the sound I get from the EF500/LS800. I'm trying to figure out how to get the PA to sound more like the studio setup is all.

Hey SOMMS,I hope I'm not coming off the wrong way to you,I've just not had good experience when it comes to trying to use a POD DI'd into a system.

 

Since you're basically happy w/ the tone sorry for getting off track.

 

Have you worked on the tweaking patches in the XTL to have some patches for the studio & some for live?This might be the best route,but honestly I obviously don't know or I'd have been doing it along time ago haha :D:freak:
