hey man! got your message. The Floor POD is a fun device with a fair amount of customization. I found it lacked what I get out of stomp boxes particularly with regard to distortion pedals. There are lots of amp models, but few of those overdriven sounds were as flexible as a good pedal. I spend more time building DIY pedals lately, and have a handful of dirt boxes, which I prefer.

However, the POD does what it was designed for VERY well. I had a plethora of options and presets to go through all of the changes needed for the show. I bought the POD for a theater show I was working on, but at our first rehearsals, I gave the sound man the option and he asked me to play through the tube amp to keep with the early rock era of the show. I was pleased with his preference and set up a scaled down pedal board tailored for the sounds I needed. I missed a lot of the toys the POD provided like octaves and wah/volume pedal. If I were using one again, I would probably find a way to do it in conjunction with some of my stomp boxes and a better (faster) tuner. I sold it once I found out I didn't need it, but I kind of miss it.

good luck! Can't wait to hear what you decide on!

thats pretty much what i was expecting to be totally honest :o)

I haven't used any floor effects (except Wah) for a while, i do have a T.C. Electronics running with My MESA, its mostly its for Reverb and Delay, but i really don't use must outside of the amp. The multi effects were for a Genesis Tribute tour i've been asked to do, and is more for ease of packing up and travel, cant use the MESA :o(

What are the pedals you have built? sound like it could be good fun. I've built guitard but not great with the Electronics. haha

Thanks for the input it was very welcome!
