Korg Toneworks Pandora

I'm not sure, but I think it was called the Pandora. My hotel is right next to a GC and I wanted something I could throw in my suitcase, lightweight, all that. Little headphone amp modeler thing.

Yuk. It just wasn't very good at all. For 200 bucks, I was counting on something better. It did have a drum/bass rhythm track thing that was pretty cool. It had a lot of features and effects. But the tones on the amp models were no where near as good as the Valvetronix stuff. Now if they could come out with a pocket sized Valvetronix gizmo, I'd buy it. I ended up taking it back. It just distorted way to quickly.

The other thing is, I found it darn difficult to just play naturally through one of the models. I must have been doing someting wrong, because it kept forcing me to choose a preset that had all sorts of cool FX, but I just wanted me into the box into an amp model and it didn't make my life easy at all.

Every amp model I played distorted too quickly. Again, I might have been doing somethign wrong, but I read the manual and it wasn't very informative.

Pass on this one if you want my two cents.

Bear in mind the Valvetronix has a 12AX7...

If having to plug it in isn't a dealbreaker, give the Behringer V-Amp 2 a shot. It's bigger than the Korg, but half the price, and sounds a hell of a lot better.

For $200 big ones, the pod 2.0 would be great!!!
 
Re: Korg Toneworks Pandora

I had a POD. I wanted soemthing the size of this pandora. LIke the size of two decks of cards or less. That was the good side. THe rhythm section was pretty cool as well, but I wanted something really small. This wasn't it.

I want a little, small, box that has bass and drum rhythm tracks and will let me solo over it using headphones while sitting in a hotel room.

Does no one make a box like this?

Ya know, I had a Korg Toneworks AX100G and it sounded so bad I swore I'd never buy another Korg product. In fact it took me a long time to reconsider modelers again at all. My POD XTLive is like night and day compared to it.

Maybe that little Digitech RP50? Aat 59.99 it may be worth a try.
