 A VERY short clip with the Pod HD and a first class archtop This is just a short demo clip of a guitar that's probably just passing through but it's a really nice example of just how good the Pod HD can be for clean jazz tones. The guitar is a 1994 Heritage Sweet 16 and the model is my usual Deluxe with a bit of verb and touch of bias trem. (I wouldn't mind keeping the guitar but marital bliss and financial adulthood say otherwise). http://www.jimsoloway.com/MiscDemoClips/Sweet16.mp3     |

| BTW, something I should probably add to this .... due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm forced to play through headphones only for about a week, so this was recorded with out my FRFR cab. It's a perfect way to record a solid wood archtop. With no sound in the room, the usual feedback issue that is so common to solid wood archtops is completely eliminated. |

| It is indeed new times, and the traditional amp as we know it - big, very heavy, often expensive - may have more and more smaller, lighter and cheaper alternatives. I too am experimenting a bit. I have a Behringer B205D (Mackie SMR 150 clone, powered speaker, 150Watts, 3½kg, 30x20x18cm) on the way to try out with my also recently aquired Sansamp Paradriver DI. It should be an answer to the Lunchbox amp (albeit with the Sansamp as a much more flexible preamp than the Lunchbox) - very small, very light (around 5 kg in the bag with preamp, reverb pedal and cables), very portable. The Behringer has a very small speaker, so if doesn't work for guitar in this setup, it is - like the Paradriver - sort of a "swiss army knife" of sound and can have several other uses: Hooked up with my MP3 player, amp for a mike etc. And it's so cheap (around $150) that I won't go broke in the experiment. |

| I had a pod 2.0 and was underwhelmed (bought it about 6 years ago). Found a used PocketPod on ebay for 55$ and although it is supposed to be the same as the 2.0 I find it actually usuable for headphone practice. One of the presets is call "Four on Six" and it actually usefull in a jazz context. For a 55$ clip on your belt jobby I am pleased.
