Using Line 6 Pocket Pod with MOTU M2 interface

[nswerdlow@ucsd.edu]

Novice question: Running my Strat -> MOTU M2 interface -> computer results in very thin, tinny sound; not so with my Martin with bridge pick-up, which gives full beefy sound. Was told to try running Strat first through Line 6 Pocket Pod then to interface would create amp-like sound; anyone have experience with this configuration (guitar -> Line 6 -> MOTU M2 -> computer)? Recommend it?
