    Sorry going off topic…

    It has to be said though that I think for the pod to function properly, you may need proper amplifiers. Because I have used it most with my digital piano, connected with studio monitors and all the effects comes out nicely, but when I connect it to the CP70 with studiomonitors only, the
    pod doesnt function properly, but I think this has to do with the studiomonitors.. or it is maybe that the ouput gain on the CP 70 is different from a digital piano. I am not sure, I am not an
    expert:) I am going to buy proper amplifiers for my CP 70 anyway.
    Hope this helps:)

    Did you get an amp? I just got the POD and am having the issues you stated. I found an old reply in another forum when I was having probelms with my double muff… Saying I may need a preamp before going into the pedal. So maybe the same with the pod?

    nah dude, straight up honestly bro, ide get the pog2! ive played it before and it was pretty fun. qtron seems neat and all but i find the pog more useful to me. it might not be the same case with you however.

    The POG is like chorus, right? At this point I’m content with the chorus effect I get from my mixer. If I don’t get the POD XT and go for individual pedals I’ll definitely get it though. So many things to buy! So little money!

    Yes, the Yamaha CP 70B doesnt have midi, and you dont need midi to get use of the effects and amps inside the pod. The Pod xt has midi in and out though. You just route one channel output from the
    piano into the input of the pod. I am not sure about the pod xt PRO, but on the xt studio versions there is to unbalanced outputs. You also have the options to connect pedals.

    Lol. This thread is going so off topic! Wish there was a board dedicated to CP70s out there!

    Once again, kinda ignorant… But with that midi connection, would I be able to turn it into a rhodes sound or organ. It’s my understanding midi records the keystrokes, so… Would the midi need to be installed into the piano itself?

    Hm… Maybe that’s why I had issues with my distortion pedal. It worked fine with a guitar amp, but straight into the monitors… Someone (here or elsewhere) suggested the signal significantly drops through the pedal and suggested getting a tube amp. But I added a mixer and it seems to work fine now. So maybe putting the pod through the mixer would be fine?

    Oh and I remembered reading as far as on stage, the Fender Twin Reverb is for show and the piano tuner… I guess after the piano and all the equipment it goes straight to the mixing board / PA of the venue. But with recording I think they definitely mic the amp.

    Thanks for the info! I was wondering about the effects. You’re really tempting me!

    Sorry, but I’m really ignorant about such things… How does the midi work with it? Would I need midi installed in the piano?

    I’ve been eying that amp as well… I’m currently using studio monitors.

    Hello

    I have also an Yamaha CP 70B and is ofcourse a Keane fan..If you are after recreating sounds from UTIS like
    Is it any wonder etc., buy a Line 6 Pod xt/Pod xt pro. Much easier way to go, all in a single box. They use this live.

    Yeah, I probably should. I have effects on my mixer and it’s passable. Can’t combine them. But, it’s still fun to know where the sounds originated from / fiddle with pedals.

    interesting! so the dl4 is pretty fragile then?

    i just tried to find the exact difference between the micro and the mini qtrons. i dont really think there is one. they both have the same controls on em. i didnt find anything saying otherwise.

    the pog2 however has presets and another sub octave.

    im not sure if you asked for that info but i decided to give it anyway

    Yes, I was. And good to know! Now I have to compare prices. If anything I’d go with the Qtron first.

    Wow! Good eye! Thanks so much!

    What exactly does the Line6 dl4 do?

    And how do these compare to the current ones being sold? Better, worse, the same?

    Just TRO’s box of goodies!

    If anyone still cares… I discovered Tim Rice-Oxley uses a Mini QTron in Is It Any Wonder. Can anyone ID the other stuff in this vid? I don’t think it’s entirely EHX. And the mu-tron phasor creeps in again!

    I think we have another Keane EHX sighting here:

    Big Muff with Tone Wicker?

    Oh… Gives me more reason to watch Keane videos. Don’t play the bass, so I don’t know how interested I’d be in acquiring those pedal, but… Not surprised, since TRO is a bassist as well.

    Thanks for the responses.

    I think my sound card is Realtek something or other… I wouldn’t even know where to begin to figure if that can handle the pedal. It’s just a curiosity… So I don’t want to spend money at this point to get better recording equipment, but I’ll keep the EHX 2880 in mind.

    Ok, to answer the responses. Yes they are powered monitors and I was using them prior to the distortion pedal via 2 XLR to XLR cables. Worked beautifully. Sounded great. Before I had the monitors I was using a small epiphone guitar amp using 1/4 to 1/4 cables. No problem in re sound. Using the same cable to my monitors… Lower than expected sound, but still sound. Introduction of pedal, nothing, unless pressed. I also got a new 1/4 to 1/4 cable. Once again, nothing.

    Anyway, I think individually everything works. Adding them all together…

    Oh yeah, I got the DC adapter for it. The battery it came with was a dud. And :( no wooden box!

    I think the 1st one is a Double Muff. Looks like 2 knobs arranged vertically.

    That was the first one I was thinking of getting. Thanks.

    My wife introduced me to Keane, and now they’re one of my favorite bands of the last 10 years. Until now, I had no idea what gear Tim Rice-Oxley used. Thanks for sharing. So now the trick of figuring out which pedals were used on which songs. I’m guessing that the PolyChorus was used quite a bit. It sounds so luscious on keyboard.

    Edit: So the Pulsar was used on “Put It Behind You”. I just watched the video.

    That’s what I thought… But doesn’t that create tremolo? And the CP70 has that built in?

    ETA: I think he uses both the Pulsar and the Double Muff. He seems to fiddle with the first, then switches on the other before really playing the riff. /ETA:

    I know live he uses several Line 6 POD XT Pros. But he obviously experiments with other pedals. What I really want to know is what they use in “A Bad Dream”. Trying my hardest to learn it. Oh and I read Tom uses the P.O.G. with :: gasp :: a guitar, for Spiralling.
