Can't the pod2 go to the PA and serve the same purpose of releiving you of the amp to carry?



Absolutely correct Rharv, and that is how I plan to play tomorrow since the stage is providing PA. I am also bringing a small mixer to put the laptop output (1/8 in to RCA) into along with the POD output (1/4 in to 1/4 in) so the stage only needs to run a 1/4 inch from my mixer to the PA.

It's just the darn new laptop - it is so powerful that I wanted to try even eliminating the POD and having the laptop handle both BIAB and guitar effects, therefore, only one 1/8 in out from the laptop (or in this case might have used the Guitar Port output, either RCA or 1/4)to the PA. But I actually have better things I should be doing with $100 given that my current system is good to go.
