Texasheartrush, why do you need a video? I hear with my ears, not with my eyes, and you should too! Yes, the sample is short, my point was not to make a great demo of the pod (or the divided by 13, for that matter), but the difference between a "toy" and a great amp (best amp I've ever played, and I've played many good ones) should be obvious. My recording chain and my ability to capture sounds are the same I had when I made some recordings with my Fractal Ultra that still appear on the Fractal audio website (
Fractal Audio Systems - Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx sound clips, axe-fx II, media, video, mp3, soundcloud) and have received some good comments from Cliff himself, among others.
If I thought Pod HD (or Fractal, or whatever emulator) sounds and feels as good as a real Divided by 13, I wouldn't have bought the real amp, I'm not so stupid, that was not my point. I was only trying to prove that a Pod HD is not a toy, is a valid tool, this is not a competition for me, more choices available for us, that can't be bad! Every product has its pros and its cons (real amps or Fractal are not exceptions), weight, price, size, feel, sound, versatility, design, software, learning curve, etc.... and we don't have to marry any of them, just choose whatever fits our needs at any given time.
