Hi:)
Does anyone know where I can get settings used by the Foo Fighters for "Everlong" for the Line 6 POD? Im not talking about the line 6 tone transfer library. I found it somewhere a long time ago. Cant remember where. but it had actual pictures of the settings so you could just look and copy it manually. If anyone can help I'd be greatful, ever long :)
 
Dont all jump in at once...its hard enough with all of these responses to keep track...:(
 
What I read in magazines he used a Mesa Rectifier and cab on that... I seriously doubt he used a POD so the settings they used probably dont exist. I could be wrong of course, but its shady at best.
Listen to the song and tweak along side it, thats the best way.
 
OK let me clarify what I am 99% sure of. I know somewhere on the Foo Fighters website it used to say that He (Dave) did use a regular kidneybean POD v1 for everlong. Im not sure if he used it for the clean intro guitar or for the distorted guitars.
Also, I think it was on the POD line 6 tone transfre library that used to have the settings that he supposidly used in that song. The website was different than it is now. Now you can only download some program to your computer and then into your POD via midi. 2-3 years ago Im pretty sure they had it where you would click on the song and it would show the frontpanel of a POD and also show you how to tweak each knob to get that particular sound. Unless Im thinking about some other site that was very similar.
If you go to the tone transfer library the only Foo Fighters song that comes up is "Learn to fly". So I guess if anyone knows of some "other" site that does have these settings I would be very happy.

I HIGHLY doubt that. I'm fairly sure that album was released before the pod was available.
 
To be honest, the POD is good, but its tones are a little to 'pure', for lack of a better word. Only miking up a real MESA head and cab will give you the exact same sound. However, the POD XT is considerably better and you would no doubt get better results with that. The Sansamp PSA-1 is superb, primarily because it's not a modelling preamp per se ubt actually uses solid state technology to simulate different valve circuitries.
