Amp Model Quality For RecordingQ: 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
ExpressgivemethesamequalityofsoundasthePOD2.0orPODX3forrecording?
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.Ofcourse whenyoumove uptothePOD X3,forexample, youhavemore
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.
