Well, that's it, folks. End of the line. Time to sell. Used my Pod 2.0 Bean at rehearsal last night and no one said a thing!
JUST KIDDING! Well, not really. Not entirely, I should say.
I decided to try out my "backup rig" that I found on Craigslist for a steal when I was liiving in Hawaii and had a blast! It's amazing how usable that old tech still is. It's definitely no replacement for the Axe, but it'll probably sit in my trunk at gigs *just in case.* My bassist did tell me afterward that during one of the songs he could definitely tell that it wasn't the Axe. We play The Killers' Mr. Brightside (makes white girls go nuts in bars) and the intro riff has a lot of high-on-the-neck notes that make or break the complexity and detail of amp modeling and the Pod couldn't cut it (at least compared to the Axe).
Eh. It was a fun jaunt but not something I'd enjoy being relegated to full-time. The Axe is king, plain and simple. I was thinking about getting the HX Stomp but then remembered I had the Pod buried in a foot locker!
What are you guys using as backup rigs? Every pull out your old gear just for giggles? Anyone have a V-Amp? Johnson J-Station? Zoom 505? Korg Pandora? There was so much fun gear over the years
Cheers, y'all!
