My current gear as of June 2014. Ibanez RG321MH with EMG 81/85 pickups, Line 6 POD XT Live multi-FX floorboard, and an old but loud Zoom 15W solid state amp. My signal runs from the POD to the amp's aux in port and I set the POD's output mode system to 'combo poweramp'. This way, I've got a clean signal purely from the POD as my sound.
