Got a Pod today...

[Jedi McFly5150]

2.0 version. Anything special I should know? I did like the book says and set my Mids to max and bass/treble to zero, and I have it switched onto amp mode. Anything else? So far this thing is awesome, I'm loving it. I thought it would come with the cable to hook up to the computer since it came with the software, but it didn't. [img]images/smilies/icon_cry.gif[/img] Can anybody do me a favor and give me some suggestions on how to get Eddie's FUCK/Poundcake tone? Thanks!

Hi there,

Congrats on your purchase. eric says it right, you've just got to tweak it. I have no idea how to advise, as I haven't figured mine out yet (I just get stuff from www.customtone.com). I couldn't see one for the F.U.C.K. tone though...

You'll love your new toy though !!!

Congrats on the purchase. I have the same unit as yours.
I never bothered with the software because it entailed getting a MIDI interface to connect to the computer. I fly mine by the seat of my pants and it has served me very well for the past 4 years.
The stock presets are not my preference.
Go to manual, select and amp and tweaktil you're blue in the face is my advice.

For the F.U.C.K. sond, strat with the MODERN HIGAIN amp, which is a Soldano. It's always worked well for me. You can also play by changing the cabinet type for different tone ranges by using the TAP button and turning the effects knnob to either of the 4x12 cabinet options.

Thanks for the advice guys. So far, I'm loving it, but for some reason my Wah pedal doesn't sound very good when I use it. It's between the guitar and the pod, and when I put it after the Pod, it sounds worse. [img]images/smilies/headscratch.gif[/img] It's useable now, but it doesn't soon as good as it did without the pod. Any tips on that?

[Jedi McFly5150]

Okay, nevermind the wah thing, figured it out. I was using too much gain....and the Soldano head. [img]images/smilies/rock.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/whistling2.gif[/img]

be very careful man, amp modelling is highly addictive [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, that Soldano head thingy has more gain than anyone needs. Cranked up to 10 it sounds like shit. I think it's a good amp if you're using a crappy guitar with not inner tone, as it can really “ball it up”. But with a good guitar with humbuckers, you need to back the sucker way down.

Keep enjoying this POD of yours and post something soon. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

Although I have the Vamp...those things are great. I do recommend getting the MIDI cable and storing all of your presets by song name with software.

You will spend a lot less time twisting knobs and more time playing....and beleive me, I'm a knob twister of the worst kind.
