I am pleased with my PODXT in many ways and appreciate the tones/options it gives me for silent home recording. However, for some tones, it just doesn't cut it and I realize that. My friend uses an ADA Microcab for his tone for recording and some of his sounds beat the crap out of the PODXT (and the ADA Microcab is 10+ year old technology).
My question is: other than my Trademark 10, is there another quiet option to the PODXT? To to narrow my request, let me clarify:
I KNOW a REAL TOOB AMP is GONNA BE BETTER!!!
So, baring that (no, I don't want to build an ISO box for a TOOB amp either), are there any other pre-amp/tone generation solutions? Specifically, I find some of the harder/overdriven/RAWK patches in the PODXT to be lacking. I know that I am supposed to tweak the amp/room/cab/effects combination to taste, but I just don't think the PODXT is cutting it there - some of the "heavy" patches just sound plain muddy.
Do people get the BBE to overcome this?
I realize this is well-trod ground, but I wonder if there is some holy grail that I am missing? I Do like the GT2 circuit in my Trademark 10 and have been thinking that an ABY splitter to both the PODXT and the Trademark 10 might be the cure - I know many contemporary guitar sounds are from multiple amps and doulbe-tracking.
I should also add that I am interested for the purposes of recording into Cubase SX3.
Thanks...
