PodXT + Synth =

Post by 9pod9 » Mon Oct 01, 2007 1:55 pm

After running my Moog Little Phatty and Alesis Ion through Izotope Trash over the weekend, I got to wondering about what would happen if I tried running them through a Line6 Pod. Would that blow out the Pod? Has anybody tried it?

I doubt it would blow out the pod, but the signal would have to be lowered...Guitar signals are high-z, and synths are usually +10 unbalanced, so it'll be a whole lot louder. Just don't turn the gain up as much as you would for a guitar, and you should be able to get some reasonable sounds.

I used to do it with my Virus TI, works fine. Fun running synths through a marshall full stack :)

I like the FX model pack for the pod xt that has a bunch of weird synth effects.
Lots of gear. :)
