hello. i figured i'd post it here since some of them are pretty basic questions. i've been playing guitar for about 6 or 7 years, but simply out of a schecter plugged through a peavey 5150. moved in with some buddies, in an apartment. jamming just aint the same, because the 5150 is extremely bassy even and low volumes. and the tone simply thins out when its so quiet.
my buddy has a line 6 spider III i think? one of the spiders. its a cool little amp. i've never been much for digital amps because i feel at higher volumes the tone gets buried by everything especially tube amps. but its nice for bedroom jamming. anyways after viewing some a buncha youtube videos, and listening to some sound clips on here (travis[kirkpetrucci] from threat signal in particular) i want to get into mixing my own stuff onto a computer.
basically, i'd like to get to know how to use my buddys POD XT live, and figure out how people get all these tone patches. anyone know of a good how-to guide on how to really get this thing going? alot of the guides go right over my head because i'm not very good with all these fancy buttons and wires and plugs. also i'm after a good set of headphones. i have some decent sony ones that are really comfertable but after plugging it into my buddys line 6 spider, the tone sounded terrible. is there some good ones were the tone will come through just as crisp as it would coming out of the speakers? basically i'm setting up for alot of bedroom jamming. i'd like to get this line 6 set up, plugged into my comp, with headphones on, and playing straight into some good mixing program. any help would be appreciated.
