Re: Problems Playing Through the PA....
I used to do a lot of playing though PA's using POD 2.0, Podxt and J-Station 2.0. I have not done so for a few years now though. These can work well to a board but you have to set it up with the system you use. If you go from one system to another it is like renting an amp. Even the same models have variations based on speakers and parts variation.
What worked best for me to "rough in" the tone was to get access to the system, playing at volume (with band or a similar CD). I did not need access to the board really, just have someone start it and who would allow me to run the CD direct.
For me the POD 2.0 and J-Station tended to sound a bit better than the PODxt live though the PODxt was really more amp-like. The earlier technology had a more processed sound like a studio recording and so it tended to play a bit better (to me) with the PA approach. At least for the moderate to higher gain tones this was my impression.
So ... why not now? I would if asked to do it but the modelers just are not quite as touch sensitive to me as my tweeds. It is not a killer though live for me though as few people in an audience would be able to tell.
