Axe Nerd Says..."The Verdict is in!"


Sandbox lead guitarist Ian Smith says the new "Pod" doesn't cut it for him.

Ian is a fully certifiable Axe Nerd owning no less than 5 vintage Fender Strats and a whole collection of Vintage Valve Amps, Cabs, and veteran Stomp Boxes. Now that is a NERD!

He says that the Pod just doesn't quite convince him and doesn't really stack up to his Analog Gear. Ian says he will use it on some of the Sandbox recordings to get some cool quirky sounds, but says that it's "Like Virtual Women on the web"... he prefers the real thing :)

OK Ian... that's gonna upset the Line Pod people but ya gotta tell it like it is.

Looking forward to seeing Ian perform in the studio cooking some licks with banks and banks of vintage amps.

Not long to go now.
