Folks,
I have a Mark III Combo (blue stipe if it makes a difference) to which i wish to add a bit of delay and chorus. Ive tried plugging in a Line 6 Pod X3 (bean) into the front, using it as the preamp plugging it into the amp's rear Return jack, and Ive also tried it as a loop, input of Pod into amp's send, etc. none of it sounds right to me. When plugged into the front panel turning off all effects, amp, speaker sim, other than delay on the Pod it still sounds bad. It is perverting the Mesa's natural sound. What are folks doing or have successfully tried. Am I better off just getting a couple stand alone Boss pedals running them in a chain? I am not sure what to do. I have been playing since the early sixties and my taste for blues and rock is well reflected. It was simple in my day, plug into the amp or a fuzz pedal (a Cry Baby when i was finally able to afford one) and away I went. Thanks for your comments. Fred
