Mounting PODxt to Guitar Leg

Gaylon Mathews · Post by **Gaylon Mathews** » 26 Jan 2005 5:33 pm

Can it be done? Has anyone done it? I know you can buy a mount for the POD that attaches to a mic stand but how would you go about attaching one to the guitar leg?

I'm sure quik-lok makes a device that will work. I'd check out their website quiklok.com and see what they have.

I have mine in a mic stand and I like that arrangement a lot. Easy to see and tweak.

Gaylon, try to get in touch with Billy McCoy here on the forum. He used to be a Line 6 rep, he would probably know about this.

Hope all is well on the road. I have been watching the Music Mafia thing on CMT. Looks like fun

I put an ungamely rig together but I've ditched it.

I clamped a suitable size socket to the right rear leg, so that a piece of 1/4 ID pipefit in it. I went 4 inches to a 90, 4 more to another 90 and nippled it to the bracket. It swiveled, so I could swing it out of the way.

It worked and didn't look too bad.

But. It didn't look to good either.

It shook when I made the slightest move. I don't know how you could get it steady enough to not be a nuisance. A flexible gooseneck would have to be pretty stout to hold the weight.

I scrapped it and put it on m ATA briefcase on my right.

I'd go with the mikestand.

I'm going to sit on my ATA case when it gets here, and I use it for my Marrs, and I'll make a lug in the right side of it for the Pod.

ALSO. If you get a bracket the rubber nipples need a GOOD dab of super glue to stay in the bracket.

From the line 6 BBS that's the only way anybody's found to get them to stay put.

That's my experience anyhow.

Gaylon get a "Claw" used by drummers to
hold mics to their drums. You can attache
the Pod bracket to it. It swivels and can be
adjusted to taste.

Yup. I do it. Wish I had a picture for ya. It works, not the easiest and cleanest, but better than leaving it on the floor.

I got the smallest cymbol mount I could find at GC. Then used the mounting bracket for the POD. You might need a couple extra of those little cymbol pads to get a tight fit.This is the closest to what I have, mine is more compact.

This might even work better cause it has a bit of a counter weight.

The nicest thing is that you can put it any where you want. I like to put mine just off the right, and slightly above the end plate. I like that spot because I can see it easily and can use the "stop box" feature quickly, and I don't have to look down.

The worst part is, it doesn't all fit in my pac-a-seat. If I had a little more space it might all fit, I've got a cheapy seat. It's really the POD that doesn't fit.

Has anyone looked at the "PODxt Live"? Certanly won't work if you had a bunch of floor pedals, but I wonder if it would fit with 8 pedals or so? Would be a cleaner setup, and no outside volume pedal?? Blasphemy!!

I used the ROLAND Clamp Set APC-33.

I just drilled holes in the mounting plate to match the PodXT and found screws that fitted the PodXT. They were too long so I used washers.
The mounting plate is flat and the PodXT is curved, so I used some foamrubber between the plate and the machine.

Hey Peter, that's better than what I've got. Where did you get that mounting plate?

Peter · Post by **Peter** » 28 Jan 2005 11:38 am

Ben, it came with the Roland clamp. All in one box.

My rig (Pod 2) consists of a Line 6 mount, a Pearl drum clamp (double swivel w/ dogleg) and a 6" gooseneck. Works absolutely perfectly but is a pain to stow away. Takes way too much seat space. Pardom the crappy photos--rush job.

Look like all great ideas!

Thanx!

Tim,

When I was on the road with Janie, I used a std. drum clamp, attached to the leg next to my right leg (maybe a foot or more up from the floor). Attached to the clamp was a short goose neck (9" or less). That in turn attached to the POD "mike stand" support you've see in the other pics. It was very sturdy and allowed me to move/angle the POD a bit depending on lighting. Also, it was real handy to drop my right hand down to make patch changes, etc. Worked great, and packed up easily.
