Youd be better off tracking a Marshall through a mackie than a
POD through a 1073
you jack ass
Your entitled to your opinion, obviously, but I don't agree w/that statement in the least. The guitarist/Worship Leader at my church is still recording with a Boss GT-5, which is over 11 years old, and still sounds great, and he uses it for amp modeling and effects, straight into the PA, live and studio recording. We have lots of studio/session guitarists and musicians coming through there, and he gets all sorts of compliments on his clean and lead tones. I would even put that thing up at the level of a POD XT (at least the latest 3.0 version).
Lincoln Brewster (another PRO artist) had the actual amp model of what he was using in the studio, and the POD XT, and A/B both of them, and nobody could tell the difference between the "actual" amp and the POD (and these were studio engineers and pros that he had do the comparison from what I understand, with great and transparent ears). I'm not saying there isn't a difference, but it goes to show that they have great tone. I bet you couldn't tell the difference and were fooled yourself, into thinking some recordings had real amplifiers when they didn't. We totally fooled a few people on the Seymour Duncan board that would literally rat out and slam PODs and Line 6 products like their lives depended on it, and we had our fun w/them...they ate their own words. LOL
