Anyone of you guys have a zoom 5050 pad and are able to get a good sound when recording direct to the computer.

I can't mike my gear since I live in an appartment, so I got to record direct. Thus far I wasn't able to get a good distortion sound.

I got a tascam US-224 and it's really good for accoustic but even going through the tascam my pad distortion is really bad. (ask Schmange :) )

I got myself a used Red Box Cabinetulator to soften the whole thing, should get it the next week. I'll see what it does but have you guys been able to work a good sound with the zoom.

I'm not able to get myself a new pad (was looking at the yamaha DGstomp) right now so I got to find a solution.

Here's part of a solo from one of my project song. You'll see what I mean. Cut and paste the link in your browser.
