BTW, I used to have an Octa-Capture. LOL
I tried one of those for steel and didn't like it. I use a POD X3 for effects only, no amp modeling with a Carvin BX500 amp and an Eminence EPS-15C speaker. But I have one POD X3 program (tone as Line 6 calls them) with a preamp that I use for direct to board recording.
