Re: Anyone using NI Guitar Rig 2?

[Chris Smart <chris_s@sympatico.ca>]

I also have the PODxt Live and love it, yes, through speakers or a 
PA! Through headphones it sounds like what would result if I took a 
good guitar amp, and stuck my head right up next to it, which, I 
guess is what they did in the modeling process.  Anyway, check out 
the Line6 forum for the PODs, called Channel 6. Every so often a 
thread gets started where experienced users start uploading their 
preset bundles. A great way to really learn what the XTl is capable of.
