so like in the other guys thread in the off topic board, ill be goin to college in sept. i wanna get something like v-amp/pod/j-station stuff cause i dont really need to bring a whole amp with me, especially my XXX (120w might get some noise complaints, not to mention hauling the thing into the dorm). so which of these kinda modeling things do you guys reccomend? i play mostly thrash metal and dont wanna spend much more than $200
 
Re: digital v-amp/pod/j-station, etc. reccomendations...

well, i have a j-station. i think its the best for the buck. the pod has the best soudns, but with the station you can program thousands of different options including speakers, cabinets, and amps. also, many cool effects. also, you acn go to their website and download other peoples settings.

i like mine a lot, and i use it for noise complaints at home. hehe

You can program the POD, too. But it costs more than $200. The J-Station or the V-amp will fit the bill for the price range. I don't remember on the J-station, but the V-amp has a plastic housing and cheap jacks. Gotta be careful with it. The POD has a steel housing and reinforced jacks. Mine got knocked off its mount on a mic stand. I turned it off, turned it on, and it has never failed me. But it does cost more.

maybe i can get a used one for cheaper

you can do all that stuff with the Vamp2 also and you can find them for about 100
 
Re: digital v-amp/pod/j-station, etc. reccomendations...

well, i got my j-station for $65, including manuel, cords, and software.

I have a J-station that I like. It's not the most amazing thing out there, but it gets the job done, is cheap and I'm pretty sure the casing is metal. It also has a SP/DIF output as well as the regular line level output which can be nice. I have the SP/DIF going to my computer speakers and the line out going to my sound card for recording. I hear they're getting pretty inexpensive now too. Either way if you're just looking for something to play silently with you'll probably be happy with any one of the ones you mentioned.

i own the pod 2.3 and use it as a headphone amp /recording tool. i love it. In my opinion, i felt the jstation was too bassy and could not get good sounds to my liking. I never played the Vamp2 but from what i hear it sounds good, comes with a floor board and is 125 new. You can tbeat that man. Behringer mkes good stuff too. So if money is no object look into pod or genesis. If it is( and it always is) check out the vamp2. But again, I have no direct experience with the vamp just hearsay. Use your own ears and budget to decide. OHHHHH I FORGOT!!! If money is absolutely no problem, the VOX tone lab with a real 12ax7 tube as an OUTPUT tube, is supposed to be the sweetest.Never tried it though.I have a pod!

I recommend the J-Station..Ive used mine live and for recording as well...great sound!

I have two J-Station's. They're great. Problem is, they're not made anymore and the company is, for all intent and purpose, defunct. Finding one could be a problem, but if you do, they sound great.
