2/21/2023 0 Comments Line 6 pod farm 2.0![]() ![]() That said the new Spider IV/valve MKII amps use Line 6's latest "next gen" algorhithms and seem to be getting good reviews. This issue has really put me off on the POD in any form It sounds like an "unintelligent" harmonizer or even a ring mod. It very prominent on single notes but pretty much gets masked when playing chords. The AC30 and several of the marshalls and tweed fenders have a noticeable sub harmonic unrelated to the input signal. ![]() So it seems they dumb down the algorithms and use a lower sampling rate for pod farm.įWIW is no else bothered by the obvious aliasing artifacts on so many of the PODxt amp sims. There's no way a general purpose cpu can match it. The POD hardware has a dedicated sharc processor. The X3 also sounds different than the xt due to improved hardware and algorithms and is more close to the sound of Podfarm. Is not a big difference but is (to me at least) noticeable. The algorithms are a bit different between the xt hardware unit and the Podfarm standalone or plugin. Is something acknowledged by Line 6 employees. Is not like the "My DAW sounds better than x" myth. This is especially helpful as there isn't any latency to deal with while recording. This way if something goes wrong with the original hardware tone (doesn't sit well), I'll flip over to the clean SPDIF track and throw POD Farm on it. ![]() ![]() But I also have the SPDIF out set to dry/clean which I record on a separate track as a backup. That it does, I almost always use the hardware itself to record the analog outs. Sometimes just blending with the recorded POD sound is good for me.Īnyhow, the Podfarm/POD combo is versatile and the USB souncard interface (PODX3) works well in the scenario above. Podfarm plugins are applied to the dry tracks, tweaked and automated. Record a multitrack split of guitar this way and obtain a dry signal as well as affected track for reference. In my enthusiasm to make a point I forgot to add that the combo of POD h/w and plugins makes for many workflow possibilities.įor example getting a great (near) zero latency sound from (in my case PODX3) h/w to track with. ![]()
