Location: Midland, MI | Don't have one; have a GNX4, though. The only time I ever plugged the Elite into it, I found a clean, relatively uncolored patch to work best. In my case, one of the guys on the GNX4 board had done an Ovation-specific patch that worked great (and didn't require any effort on my part...heh).
If there's a PodXT board (I think there is, isn't there?) maybe you could ask or search there, too, and see if someone hasn't already invented the wheel. I was surprised when I found the GNX4 patch; maybe you could find one for yours, too!
Good luck with it! |

Location: Midland, MI | Your post has me thinking more seriously about dusting off the GP again. So, I went and checked the faq...the Pod patches can be converted to GP patches. Maybe I'll help you search for a killer Pod patch for the O. :) |

Location: Flushing, MI | I've only heard one person play an acoustic through a POD onstage, and I personally thought that it was downright awful, but he was using all of the chorus, flange, etc. so you never really got to hear what the guitar really sounded like.
I think they were designed with electric guitars in mind, not acoustics. |

Location: Lebanon, TN | I have a Pod XT Live. Would never think of using with the Ovation. The modelling of even the clean amp does nothing that a direct plug into the PA would not achieve. I only use it with a Variax 300 I bought for the times I need a modelled electric sound as I dont collect electrics and amps. This at least give me choices (electric ones :-)) |

Except I don't have a PA. :( The GNX4, like the Guitarport before it, are handy ways of getting the guitar signal into Sonar. If I did have a mixer, I could run the out from that into my Echo Layla and then into Sonar, but...no mixer, no PA, no joy. :\ |
