i have to second this. i also have the pod (v 1) and though i have not fully explored the possibilities, i think manual mode allows for some nice sounds. i don't like the presets much at all. the emulations are just ok but are much easier than hauling several amps to a gig. once the guitar is buried in the mix by a drums and vocals sound guy, they are probably indistinguishable from the real thing anyway... my only problem with this box is that you can't really overdrive it like a real tube amp. you can kind of fake it with the controls, but you have to think differently. (you can't just throw a tube screamer in front of it and crank the level) i think it is a great looper tool, because you can loop the amp sound without having to mike it. running a looper between guitar and amp just doesn't cut it for me. > Hi Andreas.
