Question about simulators like the POD's.
I understand that you can use things like the POD's instead of a regular amp if you want, but what are you supposed to play them through?
A guitar cabinet? Some kind of loudspeaker?
Do you need a preamp and power amp, or does the amp simulator already take care of that stuff?
I don't know a whole lot about the way amplification works.

You can play it through a cab, but you'll need a poweramp.
You can also plug it through a P.A. ... and play direct-in through the mixer.

You can play it trough anything you want or have lying around. Your hifi-stereo set, headphones, an amp, PA system, poweramp..
In general though, modelers only realy sound good if you hook them up to a good (tube)poweramp into a real cab, and disable any cab or poweramp sims on it.
Remember that most modelers don't realy model amps, they model pre-amps, which some optional eq-filtering to make it sound less 'scratchy'

i have a V-Amp2, which is a similar device. i run it into the FX loop of my Randall combo via the "Return" input, bypassing the preamp stage of the amp itself. sounds fine.

I really wouldn't say that. I mean i haven't heard for metal and what not but we definitely recorded all of the clean guitar on our cd through a hardware/software modeler. Sounded pretty damn good.
Especially the bass which went direct in as well.

Did you mic them through an amp, or input them directly?
Most modelers have a hifi suitable sound to put into your home audio system or record directly, it sounds decent, but kinda misses the oomph and feeling of a oversaturated boomy amp when your playing it.

Pods can be made to sound good when recording directly but they need alot of tweaking.
