The POD Farm 2.5 plug-in features tons of models ready to feature on your pro sounding tracks. Extremely easy to use, it has a super-quiet 1/4' guitar input, 1/8' headphone/line output and volume knob for instant straight forward recording. The one thing you don't get is a pitch shifter, for creating a slightly detuned sound - which is a pity - and a tube-mic model would have been nice too.The Line 6 UX2 is rock solid and ready to go. A noise gate is always available, so its a good idea to employ this when creating heavy overdrive sounds. There's also no shortage of fuzz and distortion devices, each of which has its own character.

Of the effects, I particularly like the tape delay, rotary speaker and spring reverb, but the designers have really gone to town on filter pedals, and even some pseudo synth effects. There are some nice, jangly clean amps in there too - and they don't sound clinical or sterile: they ring nicely and respond well to dropping a compressor in front of them. If Uber Filth is your thing, there are plenty of more aggressive combinations to get you shredding, and no shortage of inspiration amongst the presets. Despite the huge range of amp types in the Platinum version, most players will quickly gravitate to the few that suit them best: I invariably end up looking for the best blues sounds that are just slightly dirty, because these tend to be the most difficult sounds to get right - but Pod Farm tackles them really well. Farm it may be, but there's nothing agricultural about the sound.
