I just posted a recording of some ofmy POD settings my soundclick page. Must be heard on Hi Fi. They sound best through headphones
from : localhost/tone is separated with a beeping noise in the left speaker

1. Clean tone

2. Slayer Seasons in the Abyss tone

3. Metallica - Kill Em All tone, then Santana tone with same settings but different pickup (position #2, which is two coils in parallel)

4. Metallica - Ride the Lightning tone, then some old Slayer with same settings

5. Metallica - Master of Puppets tone

6. Metallica - And Justice for All tone

7. Steve Vai toneTell me what you think of these, and if any further tweaking is needed

hey that was really good man, makes me want to go out and buy a POD. (i want one)

Thanks.
Yeah, they're usefull little boxes

I think there's too much delay/reverb on your tones, otherwise they're quite nice. Perhaps just a little bit of extra highs and grittiness as well.

The seasons and RTL sounded quite good. The playing in Raining Blood sounded a bit odd, but the sound was quite close. The MOP tone was very good. Justice didn't sound quite as scooped as Metallica does. I haven't listened to Vai that much to say anything about it.

A little bit of finetuning, and you've quite got them. Makes me want to do the same when I get my PODxt back!

Thanks for the tips.

I'll cut back on the delay/verb, although I like having lots of it on some tones

I didn't really know what you meant when you said odd. Did you mean I got the riff wrong?

barmp

Only two responses?

share the tone files... so i can load em' up and take them for a spin...

I can't get the tone files off the POD, but heres the settings:

Nice Clean Sound
Amp model: Line 6 Clean
Cab model: 1995 Matchless Chieftain 2x12
Gain: 9 o'clock
Bass: 2 o'clock
Treble: 3 o'clock
Mids: 3 o'clock
Presence: 2 o'clock
Neck pickup or position #4, lots of Delay, a bit of verb

Slayer
Seasons in the Abyss
Amp model: Modern HiGain (Soldano X88R Tube Preamp)
Cab model: Line 6 1x12
Gain: 2 o'clock
Bass: 1 o'clock

Presence: 2 o'clock

Metallica
Kill 'Em All Distortion
Amp model: Brit HiGain (JCM 800)
Cab model: 1965 Fender Blackface Twin 2x12
Gain: 4:30

Using a single coil pickup or split humbucker with this setting will get you a good Black Magic Woman (Santana) sound

Ride the Lightning (hell yeah)
Amp model: Modern HiGain (Soldano X88R Tube Preamp)
Cab model: Line 6 4x12
Gain: 2 o'clock
Bass: 10:30
Treble: 3:30

Quite a lot of reverb
This setting can also be used for an old Slayer tone (eg. Reign in Blood)

Master of Puppets
Amp model:Treadplate (1994 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Tremoverb)
Cab model: Line 6 4x12
Gain: 2 o'clock
Bass: 11:30
Treble: 3:30
Mids: 2 o'clock
Presence: Full

Justice (yuck)
Same as Puppets but with mids scooped more

Steve Vai Not great, but close as I could get
Amp model:Treadplate (1994 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Tremoverb)
Cab model: 1978 Marshall with Stock 70s 4x12
Gain: 3:30
Bass: 11 o'clock
