Subject: About POD 2.0 (after trying one...)

Hi all!  Iīd like to share my brief experiences with Line 6
Pod 2.0.I bought one today and spent five hours playing it.I like it.Itīs
the best overdrive effect Iīve tried so far because it has no overdrive but
amp models (modeled after Champ,Bassman etc) and 32 of them (this is the new
model of 2.0).It also has effects (rewerb,delays,compressor,Leslie-emulator
etc) but I didnīt try these out too much (rewerb is,in my opinion,most
useful of these).But I did try out the different amp models and found out
that some worked better than others.I especially liked the Tube Preamp and
Black Panel.Also Brit Blues and Brit classic worked fine.In my opinion,Small
Tweed and Tweed Blues (modeled after ī59 Bassman, didnīt work so well,mainly
because these feedback quite easily).I liked the fact that rewerbs were
"original" (like in original amps).I tried POD out with two mikes:GB520DX
and Shure 57 (I have a transformer(?) that makes it high-impedance) and I
have to say that,f!
or me,the 57 worked better on most amps (GB was maybe better for
Tweeds...?).This maybe (partly?)because it is easier for me to make an
airtight "cup" with 57 than GB (because 57 is smaller).57 is works great
with or without the POD.I played thru Blues jr. with just  master and
volume (both on 4-5).I feel POD feedbacks less than I thought it would,much
less than my Boss SuperOverdrive!!!(going to sell it anyway).I also tried
POD thru PA and it seemed to work there too!! POD is not cheap but I feel
(now anyway) its worth the money (hmm...almost,anyway).Hope somebody got
something out of this! Regards,V-P.H   P.S. Iīd like to thank "G"
for recommending this POD.Seems to be the thing for me! Thanks!
