rack distortion

[blackmesa]

im new to racks so give me a break. i have a pod pro rack and i love the reverb and delay on it, its got some other stuff on it too. Anyway, i want to run that through a mark IV so how would i be able to control the whole setup with one thing(the pod foot controller), I know that its possible, no doubt about that, its just that i want to be able to get some awesome mark IV distortion so would i just run the amp on a clean channel and run the distortion and other things through my pod preamp? thanks a lot!

I run the Triaxis and the Pod Pro together. I run the pod pro in the Triaxis effects loop. The Triaxis is great because I can turn the effects loop off so I don't hear anything from the pod 90 percent of the time. And then when I want an effect like the delay swell from the pod pro or something I go to a patch that has the effects loop turned on. Also to bypass the pod pro's amp models put it on tube preamp and put everything at 12 oclock, this doesn't suck the tone from your triaxis. Also you can always use the pod as a rack tuner and you can switch both units at the same time through midi with the pod's floorboard. Don't think the Mark IV has the midi in and out on it. But that's how I utilize the Pod Pro.
