Actually I went to Thrice's site after hearing that song. I love Def Leppard (first 3 albums) and it was disappointing to hear them rip off Steve Clark (rip) like that. I listened to their stuff and I just can't stomach it. Again, not my cup of tea. But then again, I don't HAVE to listen...

No problem, I'd love to hear it. I get crap all the time for using Marshall from people who swear by Mesa's. It's cool, I am just giving my opinion based on the tone I prefer. I can only get it with Marshall. What's your web addy?

I still think thrice blows. They ripped off Def Leppard as their only claim to fame. Sorry, maybe you like bands with lead singers who sound like they are 14, I am frankly worn out on them. I will agree, the best guitarist can sound good through anything but a great amp will not help a sloppy...

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try. I've got decent monitors so hopefully I can make it sound good. Thanks!

Yeah, they are powered. You're suggesting I mic the monitors? Heh, now that is something I didn't think of....

Thanks. Any suggestions?

If not, I'll see about getting a small power amp. Not that big of a deal.

I might wire my cab to run just one of the 30 watt vintage speakers and see how that sounds. I think the dynamics of a real speaker will help the pod recording.

We did and always do. It's in the rider as part of our contract. But we get there and he says "I'm sorry but this is all we have right now..." The disappointment was there, but what can you do? We flew from LA to Chicago to do the gig and there was no other place within 100 miles to rent...

If you do a search you'll see a few people HAVE powered a speaker with a Pod. The reason I asked is I want to see who is doing it and with what results. It's called "research", ever tried asking questions to make an informed decision? That's what I do, you should try it sometime. Comes from...

What would be a better option financially? I can't use my Marshall live in the apartment. Even with an isolation box I'd get kicked out. The only option is to rent studio time and that'll cost more than the Pod cost me, easily. I'm just making "demos" and fun recordings of cover songs I...

So you're telling me that when Petrucci records in the studio, he just brings along his completely "stock" Mesa Boogie, right? :rolleyes:

LOL. I've had the Pod for what, 3 days? I bought it for direct recording. I haven't trucked my Cabinent upstairs and I'm not going to unless I can draw on the experience of others. Sorry if you like to learn the hard way. I prefer to ask questions first.

Is it possible to run a largecab with a Pod without going through the amp? The reason I ask is simply because I have the pod and can get decent tone but don't have a 1x12 cab laying around.

I've purchased four guitars on eBay and I've been pretty lucky in that all of them were exactly what they said they were. A Gibson Flying V, a Jackson Soloist, Ibanez DT-555 (for sale!) and a Hamer bass. All nice stuff and worth what I paid for them.

Awesome, thanks. I've had the thing for a year but honestly I use it just to record tracks and then I x-fer to my PC. I wonder how the compression on the "G" sounds compared to the RNC I bought? I like the RNC a lot and combined with the DMP-3, it's a decent set up for a home recording setup...

That means "No Drop D" tuning ;)

On the contrary, I'm 36 and have been playing live for 20 years. I've seen them all. I have a friend who owns a Music store and he sells a lot of gear. He's been playing for 25+ years. We've seen and tried about every Amp on the market and we both ended up with Blue Tolex Marshall 30th...

So it has good clean AND distortion? How's the sound as far as emulating a Marshall brown tone?

Ok, well I am not aware of my AW16G having an internal compressor. Let me check my docs.
