It's a pretty simple proposition really, you just have to change your output to PWR AMP STACK and setup your amp models to the PRE versions. Run the 1/4" out (either right or left) to the Effects Loop return.
For a more flexible setup, use the 4 cable method to run the POD into the front of the amp and the amp into the pod and back. That method allows you to choose your amp's preamp or pod models on a per-patch basis. That would, for instance, allow you to use the HiWatt or Fender clean and your 6505's rightous drive channel. It also lets you put effects in their proper places - ODs in front of the amps, time-based effects in the loop.
I can agree with everything but using the pre only versions. I tried them running through the fx return of my engl powerball and they just seemed way too thin. Having the full version also gives you more tonal control with the dep's.
Just my $0.02. Good tone is whatever sounds good to the person playing.
