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.
