Hello all,
Does any one get a good sound/tone using a stratocaster through a POD as a DI / Modeler ?
Heres the reason im asking. I run an american fat strat through through a POD 2.0, to a behringer mixer, to my 24/96 soundcard. It seems like all the EQ in the world, compression, whatever, cannot fatten up this sound. It sounds like its coming out of a tin can. Now I tried my mexican squire through the same set up, only it has the armstrong superstrat mod, and with all three pickups working, they sound has a significant improvment in tone and over all 'presence'.
Now could it be that my strat ( all stock ) either needs a tune up, like a better quality pickup, or do i need some kind of seperate DI box, to help the weakness of the POD.
I have recorded my fat strat through a $10 dynamic mic and a 15W crate practice amp, in the same set up, except skipping the POD and going straight to the mixer, and it sounds 10000% better.
