Well the father of a kid I went to school with is a DJ and guitarist, but he decided recently to only do DJ gigs on the weekends so he was selling all his guitar stuff. I saw he listed his Line 6 POD XT Pro rackmount AND shortboard for only $625 (the XT Pro is $699 new and the board is another $269 I believe) so of course, I took it! Local pickup is a good thing, I had it last night right after I paid for it in the afternoon! I hooked it up through my Mesa 50/50 last night.... I was shocked. I was hoping the power section being all tube would help create some nicer, less sterile sounds. Last time I owned the POD XT Live I was running it through a solid state power amp and figured that's why it sounded lifeless... thinking now maybe I was wrong! :lol: I still have more tweaking to do and then maybe I'll come up with some usable presets, but playing through this setup until my M4 is ready will REALLY make me appreciate it that much more! The tone on the Egnater stuff is superb, going back to digital just hurts! I may, however, keep this XT Pro around if for nothing else recording and late night playing! The line 6 is still good for that! :wink:
BTW, anyone looking for a Mesa power amp? I'm going back to the VHT I think, the E34L power amp section of the VHT seems to fit my tone better than I remembered!
