Im thinkin of buyin a largish speaker cab in the near future. All I have though, is a POD (2.0 though im lookin to get XT Live soon enough.)

All I wanna know is, can I use a POD with a cab and have it output my modelled tone and stuff? I mean, its a preamp?

I dont know much about this stuff, and I would eventually upgrade (trust me, Id love a proper head eventually) but for now I want to focus getting a cab first.

Summary; Can I use a pod as my tone modeller on its own through a cab. It might be a stupid question, but I want to know before I spend any money. Im not rich.

You'd need to get a poweramp to go between the POD and the cab, but the answer is yes, you can use the POD as a modeller, and get that nice tone you've found through your headphones pumping out of a 4x12

Oh yea, by the way, you may want to have a fiddle with the 'AIR' settings on the POD when you do get it running through a cab, because it'll make a difference to how it sounds, its all to do with the PODs' cab modelling system

Whats your budget for a poweramp?

if your running it through a cab you should turn the cab modelling off

Dont know yet. Preferably not too much, but Im not too concerned. Obviously not like thousands though, or over a thousand dollars. Preferably, anyway. Why, do you have any recommendations? Im all open to suggestions as I dont know where to start.

And cheers Arvina, I probably would turn it off, but Im gonna see how it all sounds eventually anyways so
