Re: OT: Johnson JStation VS. Line6 Pod

[Chris Chovit <cho@newdream.net>]

My brother Anton got one of the DG Stomps and they sound quite good -- good
clean and gain sounds, and a nice reverb -- (much better than the POD,
IMO).  Also, it has the digital output (SPDIF) , which is nice for digital
audio recording, although, strangely, we could not get it to work with
Cubase (although other digital sources seem to work fine...). I've never
the J-station, though, so i can;t compare it to that.
