Anyone have a Pocket Pod Express?

I have to admit Dave raises valid points.

Nevertheless, would still go with the Sansamp. You have more controllability with it regarding tone. Lets say you play through a very bassy PA one day, you can accommodate that with zero fuss.

Actually, you should get an Egnater rack setup.

How do you even set EQ on that pocket pod express thing?

I really shouldnt comment though - I hate the full blown pods with a passion.

What about any old preamp? Dont forget they come in pedal form as well. A JD10 or a v-twin or a twin tube whichever (there are two) or something. I'd have much more faith in that to give a couple of tolerable sounds under any cirmstances than that line 6 toy.

I've tried the V-Twin. I didn't like it. Too dark and muddy in front of an amp. Used as a pre-amp into a PA it manages to be muddy and thin at the same time.

The H&K Tubeman II is actually really good into a PA. But again, too expensive.

The fact you can't EQ the Pod itself isn't such a great deal. You can EQ it with the PA.

I'm leaning towards the Tech 21 Liverpool.

Yes, I got one.

We're starting the project next week. Time and money are scarce. No time to save up for a SansAmp.

It was only 59 euro so what the hell.

Yes, it sounds quite bad.................compared to my amp. It sounds better than the guitars that are usually to be heard on backing and karaoke tracks. What comes out sounds like a guitar. It sounds like a guitar sounds through your 1985 Ford Escort car stereo with a bass box in the trunk.

It's good enough for now.

Some of the FX are actually surprisingly good esecially the tremolo and the spring.

The clean sound Fendery and you can get some dirt in it.

The twang doesn't sound twangy. More like a cranked Princeton.

The crunch doesn't sound Voxy. Too dark.

The rock setting is decent and usable. A little too much bass and honk to my taste.

The metal setting is also pretty good for what it's supposed to doo. Bassy and sludgy. Like Justice For All on a worn cassette tape.
