helge Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 hi, might be a little of topic, but i'm still putting it in here. my problem is. i'm going to buy a engl powerball in the next couple of weeks and also would like to buy a pod xt pro, because when i tested it out, i really like some of the effects. i also have some boss and some 19" effects. thats not much of a problem so far, but how to i plug them all into the engl amp??? i really dont need all the amp and cabinet models from the pod, because i cant think of a better sound, then the engl already has. can i use just the effects??? would be really great, if you guys could help me with this. thanks a lot.

GodBlessTexas Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 The Powerball should have an effects loop that you'll run into the POD XT Pro. The POD XT Pro has stereo send and return jacks on the effects loop, as well as all sorts of other nifty inputs and outputs on the back. My favorite is the dry signal output for recording a completely dry signal to reprocess later. You use the left input and output for a mono effects loop. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

helge Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 ok thanks...is there a way to use the pod without all these amp and cabinet models...just the effects and does the pod have a bypass??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasty Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 IMO the pod is great for plugging into a PA etc..but if you are just using it for effects (not preamps/dist etc) then get a TC Electronic's G-Major. Wayyyy better an straight forward. Plus its rack mountable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
