Fraxtal - I don't use the cab sims at all, and I set it to stack pwr amp - although without cabs on it shouldn't matter IIRC. Pod-->Mesa50/50-->v30/G12t75 cab.
I use the line in on the back of pod set at the higher gain setting (-10). I used it at +4 for a long time but find -10 gives me more feel with the guitar and makes it easier to dial in my tones
Since your dual amps are the same w/ no cabs, do you just EQ them differently?

Not sure if there are any interested Recabinet owners here, but I managed to get a pretty sweet tone out of just the Oversize and two 57's with the POD Engl sim:

edit: realized this was way too muffled, put some presence back in. I'd be happy to share the settings if anybody's interested.

What is your setup? I would change the studio EQ's Lo Gn from -2.6 to -2.9 or 3. That seems to be a pretty safe zone to tighten the low end up. Drop the SAG a bit and possibly drop the bass in the Tube screamer as well. Hopefully that will clean it up a bit.
Plop them up and I'll see if I can steal some tricks. The SLO models are probably my fav among the POD HD models. Use them for almost everything!

Hello POD users, I need to ask one question.
I am going to Germany as an exchange student and obviously I cannot take my stuff with me.
I also will probably have the possibility to go play in festivals over europe and maybe a small tour too.
Since in this 2 situations I cannot take my rig with me I was thinking about getting myself a POD HD500 and use it with headphones in Germany and as my main traveling rig in this tour, what do you guys think?
I'm used to good tube amps.
thanks

Well, it's not going to be as smooth and tube-y as the amps you're used to, but I think it's perfect for what you're talking about. You may also want to look into the rackmounted HD Pro, since it has some more output options, though it lacks the pedal on the 500.
Only problem is that you're either going to have to route the sound directly out of the POD into the PA using the POD's decent-to-mediocre cab sims, or buy a power amp and a cab, which I gather will take some tweaking to sound good. Other people are better versed in the POD's output options than I am, though, so I'll let them address that issue.

i'd chime in, but im a stupid dummy and ive only had my pod for a few days.

well if it involves cabs then no, my goal was to take the POD and the POD alone, the rack one needs pedalboard so it's a no.
It's probably the best solution to get a POD. Unless you can spend the extra money and get an axe fx I guess...
With some nice headphones you can get very satisfying results with the pod, and the option to play live by plugging it directly into the PA too.

I used my Pod HD500 + Redwirez in this clip with Ola's "Handjob" patch. I think it turned out pretty good.

I'm sure if they do it will be six weeks after they announce and it won't do anything any of the users have asked for 'cept maybe a new model or two....All they seem to give a shit about is the StageSource shit, iOS shit, and wireless shit...

Finally I could give a try to latest Peavey patches posted in here. Sadly, results were almost the same to most of the patches I've tried from Meambobbo's and Rick; either they seem to be low on gain (not volume but distortion) or they are unbalanced as regards to highs. One of the patches has the right amount of distortion but the highs are excessive. The other one seems balanced in it's eq but gain seems low so palm mutes doesn't sound heavy.
I've tried these with the PAD switch on and the Guitar/Variax configuration (Don't remember if one of them were dual). Guitar is an Ibanez RG827QMZ with a D-Activator on the bridge. When using dual cabs I use Guitar/Same configuration so it feeds properly both lines. I've monitored these patches on my M-Audio AV40 monitors.
On the other hand, I'm beginning to get pleasant patches using Meambobbo's suggestions which apply to some of the patches here, that is using the Screamer before the amp and the mid focus EQ after the Amp section. When I get something worthy I'll post it here.

Did you use the regular amp model or just the pre? Redwirez were recorded with solid state power amps IIRC.

Turn the gain up?
I make all my patches for quad tracking, meaning less gain. Once you have 4 tracks there is plenty of gain.

Lol, then there's the answer. Never tried quad tracking though I always do dual tracking. I guess I aim for that sound, but I could give it a try some day.
Now that you mention it, would it give good results to quad track with dual amp stereo patches? (Like one over the other more than left-right if you know what I mean)

I'm not too sure. I only use single amp patches with two hard left and two hard right. I haven't even been blending different tones together anymore. I just use two different guitars instead.
