Huh, I'll have to check it out. I didn't expect a big update for a long time, if ever.

Agreed...it would make the XT a serious contender for alot of home studios.

I'm downright impressed with the fact that they did the upgrade for free and are actually really looking to offer more. It's a good sign!

Have they done anything about the bright/brittle nature of some of higher gain patches?

Bright/brittle nature of the high gain patches? You mustn't be talking about the actual metal pack - I found all of those to be really dark and woofy without tweaking and tons of presence (still useable, but dark at first).

I knew they'd charge for the bass pack and I don't *$100* need it.. I'll upgrade when I get home.

i actually do "need" it. what ive always used to record bass just broke, and im in the market for something to do bass with. $100 is cheaper than pretty much anything else i would be buying, but i dont know how good this is.....only one way to find out i guess

Re: PODxt Updates - EX-250, You'll Dig this!

theres some fun stuff in the update. nothing particularly useful, but i like messing around with the octaver

Re: PODxt Updates - EX-250, You'll Dig this!

im sitting here hoping that one of you guys will blow the $100 so i can find out if its worth it, but it looks like im gonna be the one to take the first step

 

[ex-250]

Re: PODxt Updates - EX-250, You'll Dig this!

its not amazing, but im not disappointed. i suppose the convenience factor makes it even better

No, just the standard stuff. I need the metal pack like I need a hole in the head. They needed to work on the EQ. The sounds would go from wooly to having a nasty sizzle in them no matter what I did with EQ.

The bass pack is a neat idea but a good DI gets me what I need for bass for now.

The paragraphic EQ is the secret to a good tone out of these units, IMO.

I'm loving the new wahs, and the new soldano model... totally badass.

I use the parametric. It helps.

I backed up my patches and installed the firmware and default patches. Patch 12a / 13b / 14c damn good for stock presets. Overall there are probably 4-5 stock presets that are usable untouched and that has NEVER been the case in the past.

I'm totally diggin the "Bender" effect. Always wanted a digitech whammy to play around with. This is pretty sweet .
