pod 2.0 newbie help!

[ax2x3m]

just bought a second hand POD 2.0, just couldnt resist coz i bought it so cheap, well out of the box it sounded awesome,m its distortion is just superb and its so much better than how i record music before guitar->korgax100g->mic, now i do it guitar->pod->line in

i have some problems though, when i try playing low chords usually sound too basy and switching from one chord to another sound to muffled

can anyone help me on effectively using my POD, i mean mixing sounds so as i get just the right tone, im assumings its possible for the POD to achieve these tones but i just get so frustrated that i cant find the right mix

thanks in advance for the replies

Turn down the bass!

Hahaha....
I had simular issues with the pod, Turn the bass down a bunch it just swamps everything. let the bass player or the bass guitar in general do its job.
Also since you have the pod 2.0 you may try switching the cab emulation.
Some of there cabs are all wrong if using heavy distortion sounds.
If you got a munual with it it should tell you how to change cab sounds(its a button and a knob turn).

Have fun with it, I am holding out to get a POD XT myself.
