pre or post POD
hi emser
i've battled with this one myself, particularly when adding modulation type FX in as well, cos what i really want is a POD with a send/return loop (which i think the POD pro can!).
this is kinda the way i've always reasoned it: the POD is really supposed to emulate a guitar amp (if you ignore the onboard FX) therefore, things like distortions and wahs and whammys and overdrives etc usually go in line between your guitar and your amp - whereas modulation/delays/reverbs go in loops.
so... i always put any wahs or overdrives BEFORE my POD.
but i'd also agree with mister master that there are very few hard and fastrules here and you pick what sounds best in the long run. i tend to always create sounds for each track i'm doing.
have fun, but i hope this makes sense.
