Re: Need a Good Distortion for Not Much $$$
I have never ever had problems with any overdrive pedal that I own running in front of my POD XT or direct into my interface with amp sims. I don't see why a distortion pedal should not work with a Flextone. I have never heard of these things' inputs not having enough headroom. Unless you're running one of those like stupid hot clean boosts, this shouldn't be a problem anyway because distortion pedals are usually meant to be set at unity gain (roughly) with the clean signal.
With the Flextone you don't get mic simulation from the Flextone's speaker. You do get mic simulation from its directs outs, but not from what you're hearing from the amp alone. You get speaker simulation, but not mic simulation.
