Recording our hunt
I am planning to video our hunt. Does anyone know of a good quality camcorder? We do have a camcorder, but I would like to get a better one to post our hunt video. Ours uses the small tapes that can not be converted or played in any recorder, it has to be hooked up to the tv to play the tapes.
What do other people use to record their hunts?
I have a good camera and and will probably pick up one more SD card before we go. I may take my computer along to down load photos, but that is a ways off and who knows what could happen before that - like maybe a new computer

I have a Sony Handycam HDR-CX130 with a 42x extended zoom.
So far I am very happy with it.
It is small and light, so it is easy to bring with you while hunting.
It takes good video and you can zoom much, so you can get very good films of animals far away as long as you keep it steady.
It has a function to help you keeping it steady, but at 42x zoom it is good to support your hand or use a tripod for it.
I recommend you using an external microphone if you want to get really good sound(this goes for all small camcorders).
Also make sure to have lots of memory cards and at least one extra battery with you.
I am going to bring mine when I go to SA this year and I hope to make lots of nice videos with it

***UPDATE: Time is running out on your chance to honor a local hero in Examiner.com's "American Inspired" contest (more details below). Through Jan. 27, you can vote on which finalist represents local heroism at its best. Winners will be announced Feb. 1. To cast your vote, head to http://www.examiner.com/america-inspired.***
From eating to shopping, Americans are going local.
Now, our impulse to keep it in the community is striking the charity world, too.
"Local giving is really important in that we can all personally experience giving in community and see the impact we're making," says Perla Ni, founder and CEO of GreatNonprofits.org. "While you may not have money to donate, you have time or talent that you can give to a local organization, which is something you can't easily do when giving internationally."
Ni adds that there is also more a "sense of accountability on part of the non-profits" because of the personal relationships that exist in a community, ensuring greater impact.
One example of the helping locally trend is the "America Inspired" contest launch by Examiner.com. Its aim: to "celebrate and honor extraordinary people" at the local level. At stake is a $50,000 grand prize; runners-up will receive $10,000.
American Idol winner Kris Allen may sing for a living, but he knows all too well the challenges that public school teachers face. His wife, Katie, is a drama school teacher in Arkansas.
"She loves her job, but she often talks about the challenges," Allen says. "She'd love to take her students to see a play but can't afford to. It's hard for teachers to do these kinds of things nowadays because schools don't get enough funding."
Not willing to ignore the issue, Allen has teamed up with online charity DonorsChoose.org on "Tool for the Classrooms," an initiative that launches today with the goal of raising thousands of dollars in funding for public school teachers and students nationwide.
What do the Kardashians have to do with struggling Haiti?
Absolutely nothing, and it's up to celebrities to help switch the focus, actress and activist Susan Sarandon tells us.
"It's all of our job — besides the fundraising — to keep the needs of Haiti in the news, especially when the press is busy with Kardashians and whatever they're following at the moment," Sarandon says.
She also takes on critics who accuse celebrities of helping others just to promote themselves.
"It's an interesting myth that has risen that [celebrities] are only doing it for coverage," she says. "I don't think anyone that's gone into a war zone has gone just for the press. There are much easier, more full-proof ways of getting attention and coverage like going to an awards ceremony."
Since a devastating earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands and left millions homeless hit Haiti two years ago, Sarandon has been active with the Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ). Founded by Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis before the quake, APJ built the first free secondary school for Haiti's poorest children and has funded over 2,000 surgeries at a hospital in the capital of Port-au-Prince.
This progress inspired Sarandon to step up her involvement over the years.
"I only put my name on the line for very few organizations, ones that I can personally vouch for," she says.
She warns others to think carefully before giving to organizations that have little to show.
"A lot of the money that has been raised has not been spent, so I'm very cynical about certain members of iconic [non-profit] organizations," Sarandon says.
"Seek out the ones that can show you what they've done. You have to do research — to know that the money you give to an organization will be well-spent, if spent at all."

The following story ran this previous weekend in USA WEEKEND
Can a goat help Haiti, two years after a devastating earthquake? Catherine Russi has high hopes for hers.
Russi, 66, of Colchester, Conn., a champion of the Norwich-based Haitian Health Foundation, inspired residents of the nursing home where she works to raise $150 to sponsor a goat.
"A goat provides food in the form of milk and cheese. It's a sustainable solution to feeding the hungry, as it provides more than just one meal," says Russi, who has been a longtime volunteer in USA WEEKEND's Make A Difference Day. Her church won the day's top award in 2010.
"Cathy is a super volunteer. She does great work for us, and doesn't ask for anything in return," says Dr. Jeremy Lowney, HHF founder. "We count our success [in Haiti] one person at a time. Haitians are an industrious people. With just a little bit of help, they can do so much."
A few ways to help Haiti:
Readers: Did we miss a way to help? Share your tips and suggestions below!
Ever since the devastating Haiti earthquake two years ago, actress Soleil Moon Frye wanted to do something to help.
The problem? She didn't know where to start.
[Read: 6 easy ways to help Haiti.]
It wasn't until she bumped into friend Sean Penn early last year that a light bulb came on. The actor, who founded the J/P Haitian Relief Foundation (J/P HRO) to provide relief and assistance after the quake, invited Frye to come and witness his organization's work for herself. It didn't take long for her to accept.
"A couple of days later, I got my shots and was talking to my daughters [ages 3 and 6] about going to help," says Frye, a.k.a. Punky Brewster of the hit '80s TV show. "My kids now look for every opportunity they can to help Haiti!"
(Photo credit: On a recent trip to Haiti, actress Soleil Moon Frye shares a laugh with J/P HRO's Dream Team volunteers at the Ecole de L'Espoir in Haiti.)
Fast forward one year, two trips to Haiti, a bake sale and lemonade stand later, Frye and her daughters are seasoned supporters, dedicated to helping Haiti rebuild.
What does Haiti need most today, two years after the quake? Frye recently shared her thoughts with us:
Indulge yourself for charity. Doesn't that sound great?
It's practically become business-as-usual at America's hair salons and spas. A whopping 85 percent of spas now donate products and services to charities, according to a 2011 survey produced by the International Spa Association and Price Waterhouse Coopers. And 33 percent partner with local groups such as special needs or civic organizations.
The trend has grown beyond donating hair to cancer patients. One great example is The Littlest Spa in Natick, Mass. Every month, founder Amy Elizabeth collects everything from toothpaste to nutritious snacks from clients and donates the items to a different group, including after-school programs, homeless shelters and food pantries. In exchange, customers receive "karma credits," good for a discount on a skin care service or massage.
"We also have held fundraising days for women's health and cancer charities," Elizabeth says.
Charities and customers aren't the only ones benefiting. Elizabeth says her good work is a boon for business, too. Now customers in search of karma credits come from several towns away.
"Advertising is expensive," explains Elizabeth, who instead devotes her limited resources to building up the karma credit program. "The word has spread and now I do several treatments a day" where people bring items to donate and get a facial or reflexology treatment while they're at it.
Former first lady Laura Bush joined husband ex-president George Bush, along with daughters Barbara and Jenna, on a whirlwind trip to three countries in Africa last December to raise awareness for cervical and breast cancer. [Photo below: Former president George Bush, Laura Bush, Jenna Bush Hager, and Barbara Bush visit Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in Lusaka, Zambia. (By Paul Morse.)]
We recently spoke with Bush about the couple's commitment to combating Africa's high cervical cancer rate with their $75 million Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon initiative.
Laura Bush has a warning for Americans:
"In times of economic uncertainty, there is a tendency to draw inward," says the former first lady [at right, visiting a HIV/AIDS hospital in Ethiopia, Dec. 4 (by Jenny Vaughan, AFP/Getty Images)]. "That is a mistake."
Bush urges Americans to look toward Africa — specifically, its women — when it comes to giving. Her admonishment is part of a recent, revealing interview with Kindness.
We spoke with her about her commitment, along with her ex-president husband, George Bush, to combat Africa's high cervical cancer rate with the couple's $75 million Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon initiative.

Main :: POD X3
by TheRocketeer on 2009-04-28 15:36:24
Hi, I have my 212-50 now, but I'm not too happy with it. I don't know, the X3 sounds just so much more articulate trough headphones. Trough the Atomic it sounds, "muffled", also maybe too compressed if that's the right word for it. It' like listening to something that has been recorded with a too low sample-rate, like parts of the tone are missing. No problem with my sennheiser headphones. Maybe I'm overlooking something, an option switched off that really needs to be on in a situation like this, or something like that. I have a manual here for biasing atomics, which I'm planning to do. (I remember an old thread where user Ustrat71 said that his was biased way too cold and fixing that made quite a difference, sent him a pm but no response, too bad ) So, I'd really to hear you Atmomic users out there before I upon the atomic up. I read quite a lot of times that this is really the best thing to amplify besides a good pa, so something is off here. Hope you guys can help me out here. Thanks.

What output mode are you using? Studio Direct isn't the best for the Atomics, at least not in the sense that patches that sound good through headphones will automatically sound good through the Atomic. You should try stack power amp for starters. That will take away the "under a blanket" sound, but it can sound harsh without proper tweaking. The main thing is that it's going to take a little work to get it to sound like you want it.
by Hey_Joe on 2009-04-28 21:11:00
This might help you out a bit.
Here is a link to Vettaville's Bundle Barn this is for 128 specially designed patches for use with the Atomic 112 amp.
They were made with a Pod XT but might get you close enough to learn what he did.
Maybeyou will find something that works for you or at least learn the tweak parameters that tone craftsman Andy Z used.
by TheRocketeer on 2009-04-29 01:30:36
Thanks for these tips.
phil_m: I always start of with really down to earth things like a JCM800 with a booster pedal in front. The under the blanket thing is indeed this muffled effect I have. Id did place a Sonic maximser between the pod and the amp, but it didn't really help, made it even sound more processed (while I never overuses the "process" nob on tese things). It did a great job for removing the blanket effect in the ADA MP-1 Mesa 50/50 combination I owned. The articulation problem is another thing... I hope biasing can do something here for me. I used both outputs, the live was a tad better indeed (and a lot louder). Are there any presets in the x3 software I should really look at ? Not patch stuff but general output settings ?
Hey_Joe: Thanks for this link! great stuff, patches made for Atomics! Cool, no problem they are XT, I didn't get to the dual amp stuff for now, first nail those base tone stuff rules here.
So you guys didn't do any biasing of the powersextion of your Atomics ? it's just set to factory ?
by Hey_Joe on 2009-04-29 08:22:57
I think our forum members Karl and Rowbi talked about biasing and I believe they both changed out the stock speaker to the more FR/FR 70/80.
I wish they would chime in here.
Here is a link to Rowbis pdf doc on Atomic Reactor 112-50 biasing guide.
Ithink Karl Housekecht has a site too, but I didn't understand his link http://line6.com/community/people/KarlSnarl
Theseguys have offered very helpful posts when it comes to Atomic info here on the this forum.
by TheRocketeer on 2009-04-29 09:26:12
Thanks for these very interesting links! Cool
Yeah, hope these guys join in the discussion here.
I was eyeballing a used Tech21 PowerEngine60 around here, is has the Seventy80 inside. Would be an interesting comparison.
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-04-29 09:50:01
That's actually an old profile for me. Anyway, I no longer have a dog in this fight, so to speak. But for a good explanation of the Atomic, X3 and Spider Valve, see below:
From: http://line6.com/community/message/3824#3824
Okay, here's the deal.
Atomic Reactor is probably the best tube amp solution out there for
getting loud with an amp modeler. Period. Well, wait. Let me
qualify that statement. An amp modeler with good live cab models.
problem is the POD. The Atomic speaker and cab is reasonably flat, but
not necessarily full range. It has guitar speaker and cab
characteristics. King and Kolbe were trying to strike a balance, and
they did a decent job at that. The original idea was to use the POD in
Studio Direct mode with the Atomic. What we users found there after
much experimentation is that in comparison with some other output modes
that sound GREAT through a PA is that they end up sounding compressed
and unnatural by comparison on the Atomic.
we tried Stack Poweramp where the mic models are disabled and the cabs
are revoiced. Sounds better than Studio Direct. More natural, less
compressed. Breathes more. Actually, sounds pretty darn good. Until
you put it in the room with a real tube amp. Then you start to notice
that there are still characteristics there that sound a little
so the natural progression here is to turn cab models off altogether.
Let the Atomic cab be the cab. Whoa, big mistake. The Atomic cab
isn't a regular guitar cab, remember? Flatter response, not quite full
range. Sounds like *** without a cab sim. The problem here, I
believe, is that the POD's revoiced cabs in the live output modes are
revoiced to match standard open and closed back GUITAR cabs. Because
if you run it that way into a real guitar cab, it sounds much better.
now you buy yourself a real guitar amp with a real cab and run your POD
into the effects return in Stack or Combo Poweramp mode with the
speakers engaged. Sounds good. But you just bought a real cab, and
hopefully a good one. Why are you trying to emulate something
different? So now you turn the cab model completely off and it sounds
heavenly. Like a real amp. The Spider Valve by itself convinced me
that Line6 nailed preamp modeling a long time ago...with the POD 2.0
!!! POD X3 amp models, minus the cabs, sound just as great into this
amp. As they would into just about any real amp and cab.
a second...what about my Atomic? Is it all of the sudden no good?
No. You've probably noticed that Atomic has joined forces with
Fractal. That's no accident. Remember what I said about good cab
models? And remember how Atomic has just come out with an "FR" version
of the amp with a tweeter and redesigned cab? They are going after the
Fractal community's need for a good amplification solution, and from
what I've heard, it works. What I'd like to hear is how one of these
FR amps does with a POD in Studio Direct. I bet it does well.
Unfortunately, they aren't shipping yet. And they only have a 112.
Not an option for me. I need a 412.
answer your question about how the power sections compare...I'm not
quite sure. The Atomic power section is designed to be as close to a
linear amplifier as is possible. Meaning that you're not going to get
power tube distortion from it, at least not in any meaningful amount
like you would when you crank, say, a Marshall's power section. You'll
still get a subtle compression from it owing to the tube amp's nature.
The only reason the Atomic is powered by a tube amp is because it turns
out that's the least expensive way to make a high quality, near linear
amplifier. With today's tech, it could be done with solid state, but
it would cost a fortune by comparison.
I'm not 100% certain on this, but I don't know that the Spider Valve
power section is much different. Cranking loud on the clean models, do
you hear any power tube distortion early? I guess a little, but not a
lot. I do hear a bit, or at least I think I do, with some of the other
models. But it's a 6L6 based amp and they break up differently than an
EL34 would.
sorry for the encyclopedia article. But I think this is the first time
I've gone on the record with this. Hope it made sense.
by TheRocketeer on 2009-04-29 14:29:26
Hey Karl, thx for the info, but....
aaaaaaaarg! So you say Pod models, the cab models aren't meant to go trough a FR amp/cab ?
Well, I'll try the pointers you gave. to start.
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-04-29 14:34:25
TheRocketeer wrote:

No, they ARE meant to go through a full range cab. The problem is that the Atomic isn't full range. The new Atomic FR will be, though.
Well, let me qualify that a bit. The revoiced cabs in the Live modes like Combo and Stack Poweramp are meant for real guitar cabs. The Studio Direct stuff is meant for a FR system. That's what Atomic FR should be good for.
by TheRocketeer on 2009-04-30 01:20:12
Ok. didn't fiddle around with these live modes, so gonna give that a try.
I was wondering, is a Tech21 Power Engine more FR ?
by cactuseskimo on 2009-04-30 05:08:28
I disagree with this. Actually, I think I disagreed with you a long time ago when you originally posted findings of the atomic sounding better when the Pod was in pwr amp/stack mode. I posted recordings of my pod patches direct to the computer and then with a sennheiser e609 mic on the atomic with my pod in studio mode . . . the two recordings sounded almost identical except for a slightly more analogish sound from the atomic being mic'd up.
This test was done for medium gain stuff, and I usually play the ac30tb model, so maybe the atomic doesn't like high gain pacthes or something, but my findings were that the atomic represented my pacthes pretty spot on. The one thing I did find was that I needed to use the sennheiser e609 mic. A sm57 sounded really bad on the atomic cab.
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-04-30 05:24:54
I think I actually agree with you on this. For medium gain and cleans, the effect isn't as pronounced. As you move into the higher gain territory, it gets worse. And I definitely recommend using the 609 with the Atomic.
Again, I'm not saying the Atomic sounds bad. It's only when you put it in the room with a real amp that you start to notice the difference.
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-04-30 05:25:36
TheRocketeer wrote:

Nope. Still a guitar speaker. You need something with a tweeter in it.
by TheRocketeer on 2009-04-30 08:01:32
cactuseskimo: Aha okay, antoher mic, I will try that as well.
The patches I used were mostly high gain stuff. Well I'm surprised that no one did rebias his Atomic.
I was looking at a used PE60, but then I guess that wouldn't help me much when I already have the Atomic 212.
Thanks for all the input so far guys. I will try some of these adjustments and let yuo know what the effect was.
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-04-30 08:07:04
I biased my 212 to factory spec when I retubed it. Honestly, it was pretty close anyway.
by jcosta_sr on 2009-04-30 11:15:20
Do you think adding a monitor cab with a tweeter horn to the Atomic, via the external speaker, will improve the the sound?
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-04-30 11:23:52
Maybe. This seems to be what Tom King is doing with the new Atomic FR. It is a tube power amp into a cab with a woofer and tweeter. That would allow for using Studio Direct with the Atomic. Keep in mind, that is still going to give you a different sound than a traditional guitar amp. It is going to be the mic'd sound through the PA.
by frenchfries on 2009-05-01 09:06:29
I take the freedom to chime in because I own an Atomic 112 50 for several years now. I've tried it with eight modelers: POD.2, XT, X3L; TL desktop and LE; Boss GT8 and 10; Zoom A2. I've done countless tests, infinite tweaking, and can now share what I have discovered...
1-FACTS: as mentioned above, the Atomic is not exactly FRFR. It reacts largely like the power section and cab of a Fender guitar amp. Nevertheless, its loudspeaker is cleaner, heavier in the bassrange, with a flatter midrange, as expected with a high power/heavy magnet 12'. Below, a picture meant to illustrate what I say by showing (from left to right and top to bottom):
- A cheap solid states FRFR, miked through two mics in the same time. The nasty peak in the high range is due to the position of the second mic in front of the tweeter (center, on axis). A much flatter response must be expected in a "real life situation".
- My Atomic 112 50 (yes, it sounds like that, through most microphones).
- A regular guitar tube amp (Marshall) with its tone controls set to zero.
- A tube power amp (with EL34's, volume and presence controls only) through a Rocktron S112 cab.
2-SOLUTIONS:the best thing to do IMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHO with the Atomic is to blend a cab emulation with a part of direct sound. The cab emulator will provide the body and upper midrange expected from a guitar cab, + the peaks and dips of the cab emulated. The part of direct tone will add enough low and high end to make the thing sounding "open", like a real guitar amp, and no more like "an amp miked from the next room".
To do that with the X3, just select the same amp model on the two channels. Enable the cab on the left side, disable it on the right side. Send the mix to your Atomic as a mono output signal. Play with the levels of your two blended channels until you are satisfied by the tone. If necessary, add a post EQ (example: boost 250 and 2500 hz for Fender emulations, scoop 8khz if it sounds harsh and so on).
This solution mimics the cab imaging used in Vetta amps. It's the trick that I use myself with my Atomic (fed by another modeler than yours but it's irrelevant). I can say that it sounds as natural as my real guitar amps and better than many modeling devices...
Now, you're free to believe me or not. I post it just to be useful. :-) Good luck!
EDIT: BTW, with my trick, you don't need to add a tweeter in your Atomic... and from my POV, it will sound more natural . I use various modelers through a PA sometimes and although it can sound good, it's never as "amp like" than my "Atomic + tweaked modeler with semi cab emulator"... !-)
by HeavyChevy on 2009-05-01 12:10:48
You are slowly getting there.
Time for a "real" live playing fully tube amp yet ? You can deny it, but that is exactly what you need, and that is what you are verbalizing.
Good luck with the plastic shite, my friend !!!

by Radley on 2009-05-01 15:58:42
I doubt that rebiasing will make a discernible difference - if you could send me a PDF schematic, I could suggest some simple mods to get more of the sound you're after.... it's basically just a tube power amp.
by Karl_Houseknecht on 2009-05-01 16:05:32
Hey, Rad! Long time.
Problem is that Tom doesn't provide the schematics.

Yo Karl - imagine meeting you here! That's too bad about the schematics. If I had the amp in front of me I could devise the mods without a schematic - oh well, I tried....
by TheRocketeer on 2009-05-01 23:26:13
Wow, really good input here guys. And Thx for you elaborate opinion FrenchFries! I'm going to have a low tryout session here
Radley: wel moding... just as FRFR as possbile I guess... hmm wait, why didn't I just get a flat PA-ish solution in the first place. Seduced by the glow of tubes I guess...
HeavyChevy: Yeah well, other dicussion I guess. I had my share of tube amps, and a lot of them sounded like crap as well. Every solution has clear advantages, we're passed that here no ?
by TheRocketeer on 2009-05-02 05:00:30
FrenchFries: When I look at these spectrums you have there, I would conclude the Marshall is the closest to a FRFR system... or not ?
by frenchfries on 2009-05-02 06:14:54
In fact, not exactly: the apparent flatness of its spectrum is due to its tone controls set to zero for this test (settings which are not much useable musically, because they lower the volume and tend to kill the dynamic). With the same controls set at noon, the Marshall is at least as midscooped as any other amp.
Furthermore, its Celestion loudspeaker, having a light magnet, creates a dip around 1,5khz and a boost before, among other "midnotching" phenomenons. It colors the tone much more than the Eminence MegaTon of (y)our Atomic.
Last but not least: its EL34 tubes and the design of its output transformer make the Marshall distort much sooner than the Atomic, which contains a high performance toroïdal transformer and cleaner sounding 6L6 tubes...
IOW, you wouldn' be satisfied by a Marshall amp for your X3 - unless you love Marshall (dirty) tones, which is my case :-)
Also, keep in mind that a "close miking" like mine tends to scoop the spectrum. If I had set the microphones far from the cabs tested, their curves would be flatter than that (!).
by Radley on 2009-05-02 09:29:33
Yo Frenchy,
Your suggestion about using modelers with the Atomic or guitar amps is very good - you accomplish a 'full range tonality', but still have the 'goodness' of a guitar speaker and tube power amp. It seems like any time you involve a tweeter, the sound just isn't as tweet , er I mean sweet!
by frenchfries on 2009-05-03 10:42:23
Vay to you say tat te sount isn't tweet wit a tweeter?
Seriously: IMHO, the use of "hybrid" responses is a really good way to achieve a satisfying cab emulation through an amp. That's why I'd love to find more FX's like these "Resonators" available in the last Boss GT's: for me, it's a good way to disguise a regular speaker in another one, without the usual downsides of cab modeling (=distant and dark tones, at least on stage).
by TheRocketeer on 2009-05-05 08:01:40
Aha! I'm happy to say I getting somewhere:
1. Rebiased the amp with Rowbi's exellent guide. A 0.800v reading should be a correct bias for 2 6L6's valves. Mine measured 0.666 at first (yeah, one evil to low bias), so I managed (by accicent after only 2 turns lol) to hit exactly 0.800
I don't know 'how cold' this is for a bias, maybe it's between my ears, but after this I already felt a sound with more definition. I had less the feeling of listening to a tone that was sampled at a too low rate.
2. Set the output mode to stack power amp. This indeed removed quite a lot of the muffled blanket effect, but a bit too much maybe, resulting in a tone that was a bit too harsh just like phil_ pointed out, but dailing down some ot the treble and presence of the model helped quite some.
In fact, both actions helped already for the exact 2 complaints I mainly had. Cool ! Thx to you guys
So next is
1. Tweaking the 2-3 patches I use mostly through my headphones a bit more, like stompboxes and extra EQ I did put in.
2. Checking out these XT-Live Atomic presets Hey_Joe pointed me to.
3. Push my patches to the next level by using this mix technique of FrenchFries.
Still 2 other things I was wondering about.
1. I use the Live Out jacks at the back of the X3 Live. Is that okay or are the Direct Out XLR's (where I would need an adapter to jack) better ? I've read once this made quite a difference on the Tech21 Sansamp PSA preamp.
2. The 3 buttons on the of they X3 Live, how do you guys recommend these ? Especially Live out level (Line or Amp) in case of Live out in 1.
Thanks again!

Not sure why you are unhappy, could be a personal sense of what you expected versus what you have, I bought my Atomic ( 18 watt 1x12) when you could still buy them from online gear shops (I bought mine from Sam Ash ) and then bought another dock and template (one from Sam Ash and one from AMS, and later bought the individual temlate for non docking modelers from BAL , I really dig mine, I have a Podxt (3 model packs) a desk top model of the Vox Tone Lab (each has their own dock and template) and I have run a Roger Linn Adrennalinn II (now a III afer the 2 chip update and face plate change(though I do not use the drums while in the Atomic) I use some presets and created my own and often just tweak away, I use a Variax 500
among other guitars and occasionaly add a pedal in line (Boss Slicer Or EH Stereo Memory Man wiwth Hazari) visa versa I also record direct in to my Mac and A Daw and by pass the amp, just to mix things up, I mic using a Shure SM57 and to me I could not be more happy, I would like to get the higher wattage one (with dual speakers) but they are always back logged and for home use the 18 watts is just fine and more than loud enough.
I checked in to other items recently (Tech 21 Power Engine but see no reason to buy one, maybe if I was rich and could fill a room full of amps etc
I might ry others, I sld a Flextone III XL and the Atomic(with either The PodXt or Vox Tonelab (IMO) blow that amp away, every amp change required a volume turn down to way low as they were all modeled/ enetered at such various and odd (to me) sound levels it drove me bats but my bad for not trying it out more, but hey if its not for you there are folks looking for the Atomics so sell it and find the one for you, I will never spend 2 grand for Fractal product thats for sure ... Peace

I've done TONS of experimenting with the X3 Live going into many different types of amps and pa configurations.
My high level summary is you can most always get good tones by tweaking, but some guitar amps are more difficult to work with than others.
The results you get are not always logical either, you can be really surprised. Example, one of the very best tones I have heard is plugging into an old 1953 Gibson BR-6F 10watt amp, using the Combo Front Mode and leaving the cab sims on .. It sounds amazing and all tones work. This amp has 0 eq knobs, only one knob for volume.
EVERY amp sounds different and requires it's own set of tweaks. There is no ONE univeral setting that will work for everything, forget it.
Once you lock in on one amp, you can generally tweak all of your patches to work well with it. It takes time and effort. I've found that it's much better to use a tube amp for output .. skipping the preamp is fine, but getting those tubes in the output chain really seems to help a lot .. especially as you get louder and louder on stage.
Another great result has been plugging into an tube fx loop return on a silverface Bassman 50 tube amp (mod'd with the fx loop).
Seems to be that the less eq "coloring" from the amp, the better. The more eq coloring you use from the amp, the more tweaking you need to do on the pod.
The output eq settings on the pod can make a huge difference. (highs, mids, lows changes)
I've also found that using much less "gain" than you would think on your patches can make a huge difference. Crank the output volume though to get a good strong signal going out of the pod (signal to noise ratio improvement)
The pod's amp eq settings can make a huge difference with subtle changes (small tweaks work)
The TONE knobs on the pod's fx's make a huge difference. (esp on the distortions, just like in real life)
Mic's and Cabs make a huge difference.
Turning off the cabs works very well if you already have some good speakers in your amp.
Turing off the amps on the pod (set to No Amp and crank the volumes) works really well and gives you an M13 so to speak .. works great on old Marshall Heads especially.
Start with just the amp models first, don't get a bunch of mod, delays, reverbs in the loop to start with. Get the amp sounding great, then add the fx.
As for PA's .. some sound absolutely great .. wow .. and some don't. It really boils down to the quality of your PA system. The PodX3 sounds great .. it is NOT the problem if you have a crappy sound through your PA (unless of course you have crappy sounding patches created). You do need to tweak your X3 depending on the PA. One size does not fit all. The PA speakers and monitors make a huge difference.Your soundman needs to know what you expect your sounds to sound like! Otherwise, they just tweak away at eq's on their own. A good soundman goes a loooooonnnng way. Your best bet is to stick with one system and get to know it well, then you can set it and forget it so to speak. (only volume changes required) tell your sound man NOT to add reverbs, delays, compressors, etc to your sound.
Headphones: I have not been able to find any good sounds with headphones of any type plugged into the X3. No comparison to the sound through a good PA, not even close. I hate the headphones out on the x3. I have also not found any good headphone sound out of a mixing board. I don't think that it's possible to get good headphone sounds.
Recording = Perfect .. easy .. wonderful, amazing ... great tones everywhere ... asio dry tones are a must , copy em, open the pod farm, choose whatever you want, add layers and layers .. too easy and cool .. wow
OK . I hope this can be helpful to some of the new owners. Cheers I think the X3 sounds amazing . and for recording .. Perfect

An old topic... But did anyone try...
...replacing the speaker in the Atomic?!!
We know the Atomic is really a nice ported Cab with a tube amp in it (still a nice value). Most high-powered speakers (200-watt in this case) are going to suppress the natural highs. The speaker is sorta like a PA or bass speaker. Not a "bad" pure guitar speaker, but not a great one either. Maybe trying something like a Wizard, Red Fang, or Celestion Lead 80 would help thigs a bit.
I bet 2 Atomics with a Red Fang/Wizard combination would knock anyone's socks off:)

I take it that You have two single speaker Atomics? or one 2 speaker combo ?
Either way, I do not think that experimenting changing the speaker(or speakers) is wrong. You are unsatisfied with the sound and feel its the speaker(s)
Other than Celestion I am unfamiliar with Red Fanf Or Wizard speakers , You may want to check Gerald Webers web site (as he builds amplifiersfor sale, has amp building clinics and ? sells kits as well. He is also a Guitar Manufaturer , I do not have the web address but use his name in a search engine and his site or sites will come up. I am unsure if You are using Pod's and what type ( I have a Podxt with 3 model packs (except bass expansion, but the update through Line 6 awhile back added Guitar amps from Pod 2.0 (a Dumble (great!) and another, plus 3 or 4 bass amplifiers and microphone preamps (unless I get a Bass Guitar I will not add that pack) The speaker choice can be complex as You have so many amplfier models to select from
as well as cabinets and effects . A speaker that will handle all A-Z and do it well will be tricky, but if you have particular amplifiers or styles of music that you play then that will help narrow it down , Guitar amp kits come with usually a choice of speakers and there are great books on amplifiers (some deeper than others that get down to the scematics and tubes, rectifier (if there is one) and speakers utilized ( look up on line Vintage Amplifiers
and there are huge sites that must have taken months to put together let alone research (Vox amps, Fender amps, Mesa Boogie, Hi-Watt, Watkins
(which made and makes guitar, bass, accordian and ? amps and also solid state amps versus tube/valve amps and hybrd amps (example the Vox Valvetronix for one) and see if the same brands of speakers are used, the size, the materials they are made of etc are the same or different based on
the technology of the amplifiers. I have a 15 watt solid state Vox Pathfinder (non Reverb model but has gain on/off and tremelo) and it has a 8" Vox Bulldog (with a Blue Back) the amp is half open in the back and it roars (and with a external cab (will shut down the internal speaker) the manual says
it will drive a 4x12 and givess the ohm's of the cab if you went that route (I have not)
I have heard that from some that the Podx3's sound different (and the descriptions vary on what is different) than a Podxt (I like the dual rig ability and the use of simultaneous effects .. but I am happy with the podxt and have $$ in it as bought new and $99 dollars for buy two and get one free model packs so I added classic and metal amps and the FX Junkie effect pack as well and it was well worth it, I had Pod 2.0 that I sold for $199.99 about
6 weeks prior to Line 6 dropping the price on the Pod 2.0 (new) from $299.99 to $199.99 (felt bad but I had no idea) I also use a Vox Tonelab (desktop unit that was discontinued ? why, it sounds great in the atomic (? as it helps having the 12X7 tube or tubes in it) and a Roger Linn III (updated from a version II (by buying the two chip upgrade kit and opening the unit up and with a included chip remover changing out two tubes (and ading a new face plate to match the new settings (some where different) it was well worth it and sounds compltely different. It went from being sometimes used to a go to for sounds that are normal to the outer limits (I do not use the drums though as I am concerned about the speaker in The Atomic) I have a Korg Pad-Kontrol that helps out there via USB (the software that came with the Pad Kontrol was fabulous as well
Korg Abelton Live Lite 4 (I am at version 7 now and no cost for updates and add ons) Reason Adapted by Propellerhead ( not my favorite but I do mess with it) its (to me complicated) Sample Tank 2 Korg edition by IK Media , UVI Korg Edition and MDE-X (effects from Korg Legacy Collection by Korg (I also have M-Audio's Version of abelton Lite and keep it updated as well (all are licensed as well) I picked up (free) Tracktion 1 (by luck) by Mackie while surfing online (They were giving it away (licensed and a full edition no limitations etc) when they were introducing Version 2
I think just Version I is fine (it was a down load) from Mackie ) I think they re at Version 3 but its either being DC'D or on its way out (I could be wrong) I have sen very low prices for version 2 and 3)
I use primarly Apples Garageband (which alot of people think is a toy DAW) but once Yu learn the ins and outs there are so deeper cababilities to the program (I am using Version 2 (from Ilife 05) Version 3 added ssomething with vocals I thinks and Version 5 a visable stage and a visible set up of amp of choice, cabs and efects chain and microphone placement. I hope to get a new Imac some day as I am unning Panther OSX 10.3.9
and after Panther is Tiger 10.4, Leopard 10.5 ans Snow Leopard 10.6 and the processsor speeds since switching to Intel have gone past 3.0+ and dual core, ram (up to 16GB or ? more) and even a 2TB har drive , I would really like to get Logic Studio 9 (its $499.99 but it used to be over $1,000
their is a Logic Express for $199.99 or $299.99 and You can buy a update package to equal the Full Logic Studio 9 (and without a $ penalty either (which is rare) where you buy a light edition (though Logic Express does not seem that light) then pay the differeance to get the remaing parts to =
Logic Studio 9 (** Just be careful if You use a educational discount and buy The Logic Express , that version (Educational Store on line) I read many many reviews where You can not buy the Logic upgrade to = Logic Studio 9 (why I have no idea) but the Express versions used to be $499.99
so Apple made a great program with improvements at 50% less huh...I have only used Mac's at home though we have one PC Tower and Monitor
and I used PC's at work but I have never used a PC based DAW. I started on a Tascam Porta 2 4 track cassette and still have it (and before that
a dual cassete recorder with microphones, until one night (I had a old upright piano (a 1923 Waltham from Milwaukee WI , paid $50.00 at a wharehouse when buyin g some furniture (a friend has a friend who stock piled stuff and bought and sold and we decided to remove the front board off the piano (to see the hammers hit the strings and better recording (and thought we could do it without removing the top panel (with a Marantz receive
a dual cassette and a turntable and they all crashed to the floor and were toast(except the speakers which were floor based, bummmer
After that I used a old Radio Shack preamp and Am-FM and speakers and a Boombox that recorded (live and learn)
Sorry for rambling
I would check out Geral Webers site
by dwwave on 2010-03-16 14:30:18
Probably bored or thinking oh no not him again and a 2,000 word reply (oops)
I saw this Speaker Thread (4 pages) in the Community (on the sidebar) regarding
changing speaker in a Spider Valve (which while I am not real familiar with then
? the Bogner + Line 6 Amp (so will have amp models effects and ? cabs
of various nature and used in different genres of music (I hate labeling music)
Here is the link=
Hope it helps or offers some ideas (Geral Weber really knows his stuff
and re: his Guitars he says they rarely come up for sale used
I don't look that ofetn but I have not seen one either
New= $1500- $2500
Peace and Hope
by dwwave on 2010-03-16 14:41:22
Hey again
I checked that same area where U found the link above and using the search mode in " Community" typed in Spider Valve and Speaker"
(though You posted changing speaker(s) in a Atomic (this search came back with 137 results (from A-Z) some were about Spider Valve amps
(Head or Combo and speakers to use in combo (change to) or cab to use with a Spider Valve Head as well as sorts of other discussions on speakerrs
speaker cabs , extension speaker cabs and changing speakers in Line 6 Amps as well as Line 6 cabs and 3rd party cab changes its a long link hope it
works * if not type Spider Valve and Speaker I did not include change or type (hope the link shows up as a hyperlink)

Hi guys,
i know that the topic is old but i didn't feel my problem needed a new topic...
i have had an Atomic Reactor 112-18 with a Pod XT for less than a year and never used it in rehearsal until yesterday (only played at home)...
i always had the feel that the amp was too dark and a bit muddy, but anyway the sound was pretty close to what i heard throught the headphones...
anyway when i tried it yesterday in a mid-sized garage with my drummer the thing did not cut through the drums... at FULL volume on the podxt, with a distorted JCM800 patch with the channel at full volume, we still had trouble hearing it properly...
when i set the pod output to stack poweramp it cleared out a bit but still not enough and still volume-wise was very low...
I tried to connect the pod so the input of a Peavey Classic 30 that was in the room... and it was another planet altogheter... MUCH clearer, MUCH more open sound, it would cut through the drums better and the volume was way higher, with the peavet i could set the pod output to a little less than a half, and the classic 30 volume to little less than 3 (out of 10) and still have way more volume than the AR112 with the pod at full volume...
Is there any problem with my amp? could it be that i need to change the valves or rebias it?
I know that is 18w and the other 30w, and that i also used the pre-amp section of the peavey... but shouldn't the amp be made for this? Is 18w too low in this case?
if that's the case i guess i'll buy directly a classic 30 since i like how that sounds with the pod, it colors the patches a lot, and i'll have to tweak them and set them with the amp and not in the headphones, but the difference was obvious...
any hint is HIGHLY appreciated
by MikeHolmes on 2011-01-31 13:24:09
Hi - surprised to here that you cant get the required volume out of your Atomic. I also have an 18 watt 112 which I use with a PODxt Live. Even with very loud drummers I have no problem to cut through in a small rehearsal room - very rarely do I exceed half volume on the POD.
Is the POD set on AMP or LINE? That makes a big difference to volume?
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

ROCHESTER, Mich. - Seniors Jordan Adams and Tom Lally and sophomore Nick Regnier each drove in three runs and Central Michigan had eight extra-base hits as a team to defeat Oakland for the second time this season Wednesday afternoon, 13-9.
The Chippewas (22-25) tallied 17 hits total to score in all but two innings, earning their third-straight victory heading into a key Mid-American Conference series versus Akron at Theunissen Stadium this week.
After the Golden Grizzlies (14-29) tied the game in the bottom of the third on a solo home run by Robby Enslen, the Chippewas quickly responded to take over for good.
Sophomore Joe Houlihan reached on an error with one out to start the rally and sophomore catcher Alec Ornelas pushed him ahead with a bunt single down the third base line. After a OU pitching change and a sacrifice bunt by freshman Logan Regnier, his older brother sophomore Nick Regnier drove in a pair of runs with a single to left center for a 5-3 CMU lead.
Oakland was able to pull within a run with another solo home run in the bottom of the frame, but another pair of runs by the Chippewas in the top of the sixth pushed the lead to three, 7-4.
Freshman Zack Fields led off the inning with a pinch-hit home run to to left center for the first run of the inning before Logan Regnier recorded her seventh triple of the season and scored on a sacrifice fly by Lally.
Todd Dunham's second solo home run of the game came in the bottom of the frame to again cut the CMU lead to two, 7-5, but the Chippewas' offense stay resilient, scoring four more runs in the top of the seventh.
Sophomores Cody Leichman and Pat MacKenzie led off the frame with back-to-back singles and moved up a base on a wild pitch before back-to-back walks to Houlihan and freshman Dylan Goodwin plated a run.
Logan Regnier drove in MacKenzie with a sac fly to centerfield and Lally capped the inning with his second double of the contest to plate Goodwin and Houlihan for a 11-5 advantage.
A leadoff solo home run by senior Jordan Adams pushed the lead to 12-5 in the top of the eighth, but the Maroon and Gold were forced to hold of a rally by the home squad.
OU was able to score four runs in the bottom of the eighth and had the potential tying run at the plate before freshman Jason Gamble shut the door with a strikeout to end the rally.
The Chippewas capped their scoring in the top of the ninth when redshirt freshman Ryan Heeke recorded his first career RBI with a sacrifice fly that scored Logan Regnier.
The top of the order put together quite the day for the Maroon and Gold as the Regnier brothers and Lally combined to go 9-for-13 with five runs scored and nine RBI.
Junior Kenton San Miguel earned his second win of the year by tossing 2.1 innings of relief, giving up just one hit and one run.
CMU will begin its series versus Akron Friday afternoon at 3:05. The Chippewas currently hold the No. 8 seed in the upcoming MAC Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio May 22-25.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
The University of Colorado Boulder is ranked No. 4 in the nation for graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers with 93 alumni currently serving around the world, the Peace Corps announced today.
Since 2004, CU-Boulder has held a position in the top four among institutions of similar size. CU-Boulder is the fifth highest volunteer-producing university of all time with 2,353 undergraduate alumni having served in the program since it was established in 1961.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics—with the parade of nations and athletes and the lighting of the Olympic flame—reminds Jordan Valutas, 2007 alumna of the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business, why she works so hard as client services manager at CoSport, a leading provider of consumer hospitality packages and individual event tickets to the Olympic Games.
A variety of public health issues plague the refugees from Burma living on the Thai border, not the least of which is drinking water contaminated by bacteria and pesticides. Yet few low-cost, sustainable and appropriate treatment technologies are available to people in rural and developing communities to ensure water safety.
Five University of Colorado Boulder engineering students recently returned from Haiti where they introduced a green energy vocational training program, paving the way for a new era of distributed power in the poverty-stricken, earthquake-damaged nation.
Boroka Bo, a 31-year-old senior sociology major, is graduating May 11 from the University of Colorado Boulder, 17 years after emigrating from the Transylvania region of Romania to the United States as a political refugee.
This spring, Bo received a prestigious Soros Fellowship, a program that awards 30 fellowships annually to naturalized citizens, green card holders or children of naturalized citizens. It provides up to $90,000 in support to students who plan to use their graduate education to contribute back to their communities.
With visions of ski resorts and warm beaches on the minds of many students, the University of Colorado Boulder is urging students to exercise caution whether they remain in Colorado, travel elsewhere in the country or go abroad for spring break.
CU-Boulder's spring break is March 26-30.
Peace Corps Director Aaron S. Williams will give a short presentation at the University of Colorado Boulder on Wednesday, Jan. 25, to share stories of CU alumni who are currently serving overseas and discuss the importance of the Peace Corps in the world today.
The presentation will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Old Main Chapel and is free and open to the public.
Nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2009, Williams is the 18th director of the Peace Corps and the fourth director to have served as a Peace Corps volunteer.
A team of CU-Boulder engineers traveled to Haiti this month to support the growth of green energy on the two-year anniversary of the country's devastating earthquake.
Engineering professors Alan Mickelson and Mike Hannigan and graduate student Matt Hulse collaborated with the Neges Foundation school at Leogane to create a vocational training program on the installation, operation and maintenance of renewable energy systems.
Two University of Colorado Boulder professors are conducting research in Finland and the United Kingdom as Fulbright Scholars for the 2011-12 academic year.
At age 34, Andrew Wolff is making previously unreachable dreams become reality for hundreds of at risk Cambodian children.
This might seem a stretch for a former businessman who began his second career as a teacher after earning his MA in English as a second language and multicultural education at CU-Boulder in 2006. However, after teaching for a year at an area charter school, Wolff felt constrained by the educational system. Always the adventurer, he bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, hoping to volunteer as a teacher somewhere in Southeast Asia.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
What kind of Buff will you be?
Be in the know. Know what to do.
