It has incredible delay. For sure.

I hate to rain on your parade, but a decent delay and that pedal board is going to cost you nearly $250.

and FWIW, if you're going to invest in a board, don't get that one...get something that's going to afford you more flexbility in your pedal positioning.

yah after looking around a bit I sorta came to realize that lol that line 6 DD is insane but exspensive.

and well I havent completely decided against the pod but ok what would be a good pedal board?
what do you guys think tho pod xt or pedalboard+pedals? right now im leaning back towards the pod xt I mean as long as it has the insane delay and good wah I will be happy and everything else will be a bonus.

a few of the guys around here have made their own. you can see them in the effects forum if you search around.

I've always been partial to the cases here, but I've never used them. I've been told that they're decent cases though, as long as you don't need something for touring.

xevan · 09-10-2006, 09:02 PM

wow thats a good price right there. But what do you think pedal board and pedals or line 6 pod xt(read the post above for the rest please lol)?

Thanks again everyone for your help.

well...this feels contrary to everything I've said so far, but I'd probably go with a pedal setup.

of course, I have a huge bias because a pedal setup is my current rig, and because ultimately I'm really lazy and I want to be able to throw something down and plug it in and go. this isn't to say that the PODxtl is too complicated, just that I'm entirely too lazy to learn a new system.

I definitely would recommend that you look into what you want. ultimately you know yourself better than I could, and you know what's going to suit your tastes better. There's alot of things that the XTL can do that my pedal rig can't (like all of the amp models...a bunch of effects I don't have...direct recording, just to name a few).

xevan · 09-10-2006, 09:29 PM

well just because your right I do know myself probably better then you lol I think I'll have to go w/ the podxtl. Is there any hardshell case that you know of that will fit a podxtl ((along w/ possibly a pedal or 2?))? I know there has got to be one around somewhere I just cant find it.

//EDIT: I found something (http://cgi.ebay.com/Pedal-Board-Road...em300024734367) lol but thats it.

**Rainer.** · 09-10-2006, 09:48 PM

Oh, it has about 14 sweet delays, and like 10 sweet wahs. The effects modeled on the PODxt are top of the line. Just ask all the members on CGR that have sold all their FX pedals after buying the PODxt. And if you ever happen to need other FX, it's all there.

The PODxt is a flexable beast.

And this case fits it:

thanks Rainer. Well I think im going to go on ahead and buy it from this guy. Now all I need is a good hard case and im set lol(any suggestions would be nice). Also I think im going to hold off on getting an amp for a while and just keep my eyes open in my local stores for what has already been listed( I think tho I will probably either get a 2x12 cab w/ a peavy classic 50/50 poweramp, a mesa boogie mark IV, or an ENGL combo of some sort ). Thanks for your help guys. When I get the pod xt I'll be sure to put up some pic's in the effects forum and give my thoughts and opinions.

**Rainer.** · 09-10-2006, 10:01 PM

I'm sure it looks just like ours.

If you really have no regrets with the PODxt's tones, I've always thought that it would match great with a Crate PowerBlock... for the ultimate portable rig, at least. Though A nice tube power amp really lets it sing.

xevan · 09-10-2006, 10:07 PM

lol well come on everyone likes pictures I doubt I'll get any complaints lol.

you know thats not a bad idea I'll look into that. So know of any good hard cases for the pod xt w/in possibly 50 to $100.

**Rainer.** · 09-10-2006, 10:10 PM

Erm... didn't I just post that?

thats a padded case tho I am looking for a hard case

spyrotheleo · 09-11-2006, 02:01 PM

I would recoment a avatar cab and a thd bivalve or univalve. You get really good deals on them when you buy them with a cab and they fit your pricerange.

I have been starting to consider a power block in place of my amp, but of course what I REALLY want it a tube amp, ha

My PODxtl came with that case. It is a mighty fine case. It holds all the cords and everything
