direct recording , line 6 or direct box?

[dannypassenger]

hi

ive been trying to get good guitar sounds while going direct with my digitech guitar pedals, it really doesnt work very well.
What would you guys recomend, but a line 6 POD, or should I get a direct box to conect next to my digitech pedals?
Are there any other options for me for direct recording? i only have around $200 to spend.

thanks for your coments and help.

I run a POD straight into my 002 and it works great.

I'd go for a Pod. I was in awe when I got mine. I have had one since 2.0 was released many years ago.

Before I got one-
I had read that it sounded good but could never believe that any box could sound so good. Well, I tried one one day and ended up taking one home. I was VERY impressed. At the time I owned 2 Mesa Boogies and 3 various Marshall tube amps as well as a couple of old Fender tube amps. It's worth the bux.
