    Thankx

    thanx for that link i downloaded the instructions, of course the simple guide to make it work in 10 steps did not work!
    the line 6 pod must be the most complicated thing i have ever seen, unfortunately mine now no longer powers up so that is a shame!! i will never hear it work - good job i borrowed it and didnt pay £200 anyway i am sure it is great if you have a degree in astro physics.

    Try the POD forum on the Line 6 site. They have lots of guys there who have experienced / fixed pretty well every problem that comes up with these things.

    The xt is awesome.

    I use it with the FBV shortboard and its all that I need.

    It even makes my Marshall honk like a Fender.

    I can't emphasise how good it is.

    Thumbs up

    I have a Pod XT Live and I think it's a fantastic tool. It doesn't feel like the Mesa/Boogie that I use, that's really tube sound agression... but the pod has good effects and simulators. It sounds really nice and it's perfect for home recording or studio arranging. And the price... well it's cheap.

    Could anyone give me some simple instructions on getting started using it like when to press the tap button or something. it is very frustrating i have never seen anything like this machine surely it can't be that complicated to use??
    sounds like you have a busted unit
    i used to have a pod 2.0 they are very easy to use and you should not have that much trouble getting a good sound out of it

    now i use a vox tonelab i like it a lot more

    The Vox is supposed to be teh better amp simulator. The Line 6 is better if you want a specific artists tone because you can download patches off the net. If you just want effects, and no amp sim, then try the Boss GT8. The effects are higher quality than the other two, just switch the preamp simulator off.

    I haven't heard the Vox pedal you speak of, but I have played with many of PODs and Line 6 stuff. I would recommend the Vox. The problem I have with Line 6 stuff is the EQ'ing. The different amp modes are SOOOOOO internally EQ'ed, that the EQ knobs are pretty useless. I can turn the mid all the way from 0 to 10 and not have a very big change in tone. That bothers me alot.

    I prefer/need the EQ to have more flexability. I would highly recommend trying any Tech 21 distortion pedal. Even the MXR Double Shot has great EQing. It's meant for metal but the midrange knob is SO vast, you can get great normal rock sounds out of it.

    I don't mind multi effects pedals for the most part when used for JUST the effects and not the Amp section. That's just me and my 2 cents.
