PODxt vs 2.0

Rick Johnson · Post by **Rick Johnson** » 15 Mar 2005 10:14 am

I got my POD XT yesterday, so far
I like it, The Twin Reverb and the
Jazz Clean can be tweaked to sound
pretty good in my headphones, I'll
try running it through my Nash400
tonight.

Rick, if yours doesn't have the latest firmware, download and install it. The latest firmware adds a 15" speaker, plus other updates.

I am still trying to figure out how to make adjustments on this PODxt. I used it lastnight for the first time and the big strings sounded OK but the the small ones are so tinny. I was plugging in to the front of the amp instead of the back. I finally just went back to using my BOSS DD-3. I really would like to get some compression out of it but can find a way to add it. I selected the Jazz Clean amp. I am open for all suggestions and trying to find someone close by for help. Thanks

If you are plugging in to the "front" of the amp, all you want is effects.

Well, I am not having any success in getting a decent sound with my PODxt. I don't mean to beat a dead horse but if I can't get this thing set or some help I will have to put it in the "For Sale" category. I am still open for suggestions and help. Thanks

There's a bunch of great tones & effects in
that thing. Exactly what problems are you
having? Try some of the clean amp models,
adjust the "tweek" knob & tone controls as
well as the type of reverb etc. Then just
hit the "save" button a couple times and
save your settings to the "User" storage areas.
Sometimes the manuals make things seem more
complicated than they really are.

Hey Gere, do a search on pod xt in electronics. There's a thread or two with favorite podxt settings from forum members.

Jay, your step by step directions really worked for me. Now If I can just figure out how to adjust the compression on the "USER" setting you told me about and where to plug all the cords into my Nashville 112 I think I would be fixed up. I am getting a really good tone now but would like to get just a tad better. Thanks for all the help.

Glad to hear things are working out with the
instructions I emailed to you! If you still
want to use the XT for effects only, then just
plug it into the effects loop of the amp.
Effects send (from the amp) to input of the XT.
Output of the XT to effects return of the N112.
If you were to eventually use it for the amp
modeling etc. then you might be better off
plugging into the front of the amp instead.
