Amp Model Quality For Recording
Q: I heard the Pocket POD Express is based on the POD 2.0, which I know was used on
quite a few professional recordings over the years. Can my inexpensive Pocket POD
Express give me the same quality of sound as the POD 2.0 or POD X3 for recording?
A: In general terms, yes. The Pocket POD Express Amp Models and FX are derived
directly from the POD 2.0 and Pocket POD Amp Models. They should sound very
similar. Of course when you move up to the POD X3, for example, you have more
expensive hardware built in so you will get higher quality when recording. However,
the sound of the Amp Models, when set to a good input level at your recording device,
should give you excellent results.
Getting A Good Volume Balance With My MP3 Player
Q: I have a small MP3 player and when I set my guitar volume to a comfortable level
on headphones, my MP3 player isn’t loud enough. When I turn down my Amp Model
volume to get in balance, it gets too clean. What am I doing wrong?
A: The best way to jam along with your MP3 player is to control its volume from the
device itself. For example, set your guitar volume the way it sounds good to you, then
play back a track on your MP3 player. If it’s too quiet, turn up the volume using the
MP3 player’s volume control. It should have enough volume on tap to get in balance
with your guitar.
